Musk criticises F-35 builders against drone swarms
Referencing a viral video of a large-scale, coordinated, drone swarms, Musk says:
Meanwhile, some idiots are still building manned fighter jets like the F-35
Followed with a series of replies to X comments :
It’s a shit 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 & 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 age of drones anyway. Will just get pilots killed.
Crewed fighter jets are an inefficient way to extend the range of missiles or drop bombs. A reusable drone can do so without all the overhead of a human pilot. And fighter jets will be shot down very quickly if the opposing force has sophisticated SAM or drones, as shown by the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Fighter jets do have the advantage of helping Air Force officers get laid. Drones are much less effective in this regard .
Some US weapons systems are good, albeit 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-35 program!

Musk confirms X link post deprioritization
After Graham complains that the deprioritization of links in X posts:
The deprioritization of tweets with links in them is Twitter’s biggest flaw. It bothers me more than all the new right-wing trolls. Trolls I’m used to, but what draws me to Twitter is to find out what’s going on, and you can’t do that without links.
Musk responds:
Just write a description in the main post and put the link in the reply. This just stops lazy linking.

Starship 6 Test
SpaceX conducts its sixth test of Super Heavy booster (Booster 13) and Starship (Ship 31) at Starbase, Texas. The test focusses on operational improvements, including experiments with the heat shield, flying the spacecraft at a steeper reentry angle to gather data on thermal protection system performance. The flight carried a banana as payload. After a successful launch and hot-stage separation, the Booster was diverted to splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico instead of being caught by the Mechazilla arms. Ship 31 reignited one of its Raptor engines in space, and after a flight of 1hr 5 mins completed its splashdown in the Indian Ocean. Musk:
Successful ocean landing of Starship! We will do one more ocean landing of the ship. If that goes well, then SpaceX will attempt to catch the ship with the tower.

Jones thanks Musk for helping restore Infowars
Jones says Musk is helping him to stop Infowars being sold to The Onion, after Musk’s lawyers filed a notice of appearance at the bankruptcy court.
The only individual that’s done more to expose tyranny, promote liberty and team humanity, in my lifetime, who even begins to rival Donald Trump, is Elon Musk. Everything he’s done has been devastating to tyrants and corrupt institutions and has fabulously positive for freedom for the average person. So I wanted to take a moment out to thank Elon Musk. And to specifically point out that he send his lawyers to Houston in my corporate bankruptcy case.

Senators Reed, Shaheen want Musk Russia contact probe
Reed, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, and New Hampshire Senator Jeanne Shaheen, a senior Democrat on the Armed Services and Foreign Relations Committees send a letter (link) to Attorney General Garland and Defence Department Inspector General Storch asking for a proble into Musk’s contact with Russian officials.
We write with serious concern regarding open source reporting detailing conversations between Russian officials and the CEO of SpaceX, Elon Musk. On October 25, the Wall Street Journal reported that Mr. Musk had multiple, high level conversations with Russian President Vladmir Putin as early as 2022, and sustained contact with high-level Russian officials, including Putin’s deputy chief of staff, Sergei Kiriyenko.1 At the same time, Mr. Musk asserts that he holds a Top Secret level security clearance. These relationships between a well-known U.S. adversary and Mr. Musk, a beneficiary of billions of dollars in U.S. government funding, pose serious questions regarding Mr. Musk’s reliability as a government contractor and a clearance holder. We urgently call upon the U.S. government to open an investigation up to and including a determination by the senior debarment official of the Department of Defense, consistent with section 4654 of title 10 United States Code, to determine whether this behavior should force a review of Mr. Musk’s continued involvement in SpaceX’s varying contracts with the Department of Defense and Intelligence Community.
Over a series of posts Musk reacts:
I’m going to find out who’s making these accusations and nuke them. [Shaheen and Reed] are just the puppets. Who actually wrote this and made those knuckleheads sign it?
