Elon Musk is set to co-lead a new Pentagon initiative called Project Meridian, tasked with studying the future of warfare and identifying emerging military technologies, according to a report from TASS.
The initiative is designed to help the US military identify new capabilities and technologies that could be deployed in future operations, reflecting the Pentagon's ongoing effort to keep pace with rapid advances in areas such as artificial intelligence, robotics, and autonomous systems.
Musk's role places him at the center of a defense project with significant implications for future military planning, drawing on his experience leading major technology and aerospace companies. His involvement in government-adjacent initiatives has drawn continued public attention given his prominent business and political profile.
The launch of Project Meridian comes as defense officials across NATO member states increasingly emphasize the need to integrate emerging technologies into long-term military strategy, amid heightened global security tensions.
