在他在“政府效率部”（Doge）爆炸性任期结束一年后，SpaceX首席执行官重回特朗普政府的核心圈子。皮特·赫格塞斯周三宣布，埃隆·马斯克将共同领导一个政府项目，研究未来战争，这标志着这位SpaceX首席执行官自领导混乱的所谓“政府效率部”（即Doge）以来首次重返政府。马斯克将与国防科技公司Anduril的首席执行官帕尔默·拉基以及前共和党众议院议长纽特·金里奇共同参与。
A year after his explosive tenure at Doge, the SpaceX CEO is back in the Trump administration’s good graces Pete Hegseth announced on Wednesday that Elon Musk will co-lead a government project to study the future of warfare, marking the SpaceX CEO’s first return to government since he ran the chaotic, so -called “department of government efficiency”, or Doge. Musk will be joined by Palmer Luckey, CEO of the defense tech company Anduril, and Newt Gingrich, the former Republican speaker of the House.
国防部关于该项目（称为“子午线计划”）的新闻稿称，其目标是“确定在下一代战场上实现绝对技术优势所需的能力”。该项目将持续120天，并以一份非密级的公开建议报告作为总结。
A defense department press release on the effort, called Project Meridian, described its goal as “identifying the capabilities required to achieve absolute technological dominance on the next-generation battlefield”. The project will run for 120 days and culminate in an unclassified public report of its recommendations.
