Washington: The United States faces the risk of a major defeat in the next war unless it urgently reforms its outdated weapons programs, billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk said on Friday.

“American weapons programs need to be completely redone. The current strategy is to build a small number of weapons at a high price to fight yesterday’s war. Unless there are immediate and dramatic changes made, America will lose the next war very badly,” Musk said on X.

Musk has repeatedly criticized inefficiencies in the US defense sector, arguing that excessive bureaucracy and outdated military strategies undermine national security. His latest warning adds to growing concerns over the Pentagon’s ability to adapt to modern warfare and technological advancements.
