Business titan Elon Musk He stated that the United States needs a significant reserve of hypertonic missiles and long-range air and sea drones.
“The United States needs a large number of long-range drones (air, water and underwater) and hypersonic missiles. Anything manned will die very quickly in a drone war,” Musk stated Thursday in a post on X.
The comments complemented comments he made in a tweet last month: “Future wars are about drones and hypersonic missiles. Human-piloted fighter jets will be destroyed very quickly,” he opined.

Musk has specifically targeted the F-35 fighter jet, calling it “a shitty design.”
“The F-35 design was broken at the requirements level, because it was required to be too many things to too many people. This made it an expensive and complex jack of all trades, master of none. Success was never in the set of possible outcomes. And manned fighter jets are obsolete in the drone era, they will only kill pilots anyway,” he stated in a post in November.
In another post last month, he exclaimed: “Some American weapons systems are good, although overpriced, but please, in the name of all that is holy, let us stop the worst military value for money in history that is the F-program.” 35. !”
