Trump 100 Day 62: Why was Elon Musk at the Pentagon?

Department of Government Efficiency head and business owner Elon Musk visited the Pentagon on Friday, which according to defence secretary Pete Hegseth was to talk about “efficiencies” and “innovations”.

On Day 62 of President Trump’s second term, Elon Musk made a notable visit to the Pentagon, sparking curiosity and speculation about the purpose behind the high-profile meeting. Musk, the head of the newly established Department of Government Efficiency and CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, met with top defense officials to discuss potential advancements in military operations.

According to Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, the visit focused on “efficiencies and innovations” aimed at enhancing the effectiveness of the Department of Defence. While details remain scarce, the discussions likely cantered around streamlining operations, integrating emerging technologies, and exploring new approaches to defence logistics.

Musk’s reputation for pushing technological boundaries makes him a natural choice to spearhead initiatives focused on modernizing government practices. As head of the Department of Government Efficiency, he has been tasked with identifying and implementing strategies to reduce bureaucracy and improve productivity across federal agencies.

Though the specifics of the meeting remain confidential, Musk’s involvement suggests the Pentagon is serious about embracing forward-thinking solutions. Whether these discussions lead to concrete policy changes or technological developments remains to be seen, but the collaboration signals a willingness to break from tradition and explore unconventional approaches to national defence
