Elon Musk will return to the Trump administration

Entrepreneur Elon Musk will return to the White House administration as an advisor, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced.

Musk will lead the Pentagon's "Project Meridian" research program, which is aimed at developing and implementing promising weapons and systems.

Hegseth stated that the main goal of the project is to analyze military areas where the US must dominate and "capabilities that must be acquired."

Elon Musk was one of the most influential figures around Donald Trump when he returned to the presidency. The entrepreneur led the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) for several months, but soon an open conflict arose between him and Trump. After that, Musk left the administration.

In the summer of 2026, American media wrote that Trump and Musk had restored their relationship. According to reports, the entrepreneur plans to resume funding the Republican Party ahead of the Congressional elections.
