F-35: The $2 Trillion Flying Piñata Musk Says Would Lose to a Swarm of Drones
Update: 2025-04-29
Description
Elon Musk has renewed criticism of the U.S. F-35 fighter jet program, calling it "obsolete," overly expensive, and ineffective in modern warfare. He argues that crewed aircraft like the F-35 are vulnerable to low-cost drone swarms and no longer represent viable military value. Political commentator Laura Loomer echoed Musk’s concerns, labeling the program a “multi-billion dollar betrayal” of taxpayers and national security. She cited issues with radar, software, and readiness, and accused Lockheed Martin of focusing on ideological agendas over performance. With projected lifetime costs exceeding $2 trillion, critics see the F-35 as a flawed investment in an evolving battlefield.
