US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth calls for accelerating military innovation and providing US forces with cutting-edge technology during a speech at SpaceX’s Starbase site in Texas, alongside founder Elon Musk. "I demand, and we demand, that we arm our warfighters with overwhelming and lethal technology right now," he says, adding that "the United States must win the strategic competition for 21st century technological supremacy," because "space capabilities, directed energy, and biotechnology are the new areas of global competition."
