    Not very. The DoD is aggressively apolitical with regards to domestic politics.

      That said I am very concerned with the influence he undoubtedly will have with our space asset acquisition policies.

      DoD is the institution that basically bankrolls most of what musk ever did, to me this just feels like a modern howard hughes, a flashy rich public person that does “crazy” things, very usefull thing to have to hide big military projects in plain sight…

      I dont even know what the implications are when the guy that was supposed to be the diversion ends up that close to the power that funds him.
