Ketamine and HRT drug fueled soldiers taking orders from hallucinating AI, to kill kids, for Israel.

They need to purge the military before they overturn the midterms just to address the possibility of US forces suddenly deciding not to follow illegal orders enough to detain Trump when given them. The US isn't a shitshow anymore, it's in a free fall that will drag a lot of the world with it.

Oh no please don't put the most trained and capable logistics/communication/warfare experts out of a job all at once.

Shits gonna backfire.

Really expensive self driving tanks that can also be submarines but parts fall off when they hit a bump.

Kinda reminds me of Space King and his psycho warriors, just going around and murdering everyone and hating women.

It's a YT parody of Warhammer 40K for all of you non nerds.

I like how Musk magically joins the government every time there is an election that Trump needs to cheat on. Then leaves like 4-6 months after the election is over. Probably just trying to make sure he doesn't get arrested by Democrats for all the illegal shit he is doing

Well, is not like he's got anything else to do. Being the ceo of 5 (?) companies obviously doesn't take much of his time.

Here we go with the implementation of fully automated, AI fueled warfare as a blueprint to be used for internal affairs. I wish i weren't able to say it, but I told y'all this would happen.

The only thing getting gutted here is anything that has to do with ethics. LLMs do not second guess illegal commands or refuse to fulfill them, LLMs do not have qualms killing civvies, LLMs in general do not have issues with atrocities (or might even strategically deploy them), LLMs are never whistleblowers. The next Abu Ghraib will have noone leaking photos.

The 20% of generals they want to cut are those in positions that could prevent this future from happening.

It's more simple than that - like doge, this will be an extraction of public money, and maybe the transfer of more data from government / publicly funded storage to Musk's CSAM generating facility.

From what I've heard, they probably do better the less time he focuses on them.

Lol, Americas fucked, what does elon of all people know about warfare or military anything.

AI almost caused the American army to attack a Chinese ship that they though was shipping nuclear development machines, it wasn't but if they hadn't found out the AI thry used for the intelegence analysis made an few hours later, they might have engaged with china under false pretences.

The Trump administration has been pretty shit at militarism so far, I consider that a good thing when it comes to fascists. Hopefully this continues the trend.

insofar as the military exists to siphon public funds into oligarch hands (which is basically all the DoD exists to do, when it not being used being used to kill brown people), musk is kind of an expert

2055 - the US expeditionary force has been bogged down in the desert for 120 days with no resupply or recharge in sight. Tank commanders report they can do nothing to stop the enemy’s harrying hit-and-fade attacks in their Hilux technicals as the targeting systems pro subscription has expired and cannot be renewed due to connectivity issues.
