ELON MUSK JUST GOT A NEW PENTAGON ROLE, BUT IT IS NOT WHAT YOU MIGHT THINK.
The Pentagon has named Musk to help lead Project Meridian.
The new study was announced on September 30.
It will look at how future wars could change.
Musk will work with Anduril founder Palmer Luckey and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.
They will work under Pentagon tech chief Emil Michael.
The team has 120 days to send in its findings.
It will study new tools and ways to fight.
It will also suggest steps to develop and test new tech.
This is a study role.
It does not put Musk in command of troops.
His company SpaceX already works with the US government.
Now his ideas could help shape what the military builds next.
