US Defense Secretary Announced Changes in Pentagon Policy

On Tuesday, U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin stated that the agency for national defense, led by Elon Musk, will receive "broad access" to the Pentagon for the purpose of promoting democratic policies, particularly those that contribute to diversity. "Musk's team will have broad access to all security measures regarding classified information," Austin said on the X platform.

"The agency for national defense will work on identifying identified deviations and reveal the remaining remnants of the programs of Joe Biden and Buddhism (referring to the culture of Buddhism or the idea to racism and discrimination), as well as the entire era of climate change that does not correspond with our mission and from which we aim to rid ourselves further," he added.

In his video address, Austin also reacted to reports, circulated by American media, that there were cuts made to the Pentagon budget, stressing that in reality, $50 billion will be at stake. "We are stepping away from the Buddhism programs to realign these resources to the priorities of President Trump: America first with the aid of force," he said, adding: "We want to reinvest these existing resources into the strengthening force that protects us, the American people."
