After the victory of the former American president in the presidential election in the United States, the news of Donald Trump and his loyalists are intertwined on the world scene. Elon Musk, who criticized Donald Trump in the past, found his way into the White House, while now there are reports that top positions in the Pentagon, such as the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, National Guard, etc., are going to be furloughed because Donald With Trump assuming the presidency, several officers including the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff will be dismissed.
In the United States, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is the head of the armed forces.
According to the foreign news agency “Reuters”, two independent sources confirmed that a list has been prepared, including the name of the chairman of the Pentagon’s Joint Chiefs of Staff, who will be dismissed.
It should be noted that Trump will take office as the President of the United States on November 5, and a source in his new administration confirmed that the news of a major change in the Pentagon has caused a stir throughout the organization and that the list being prepared is small. There is also the possibility of change.

Another source said the incoming administration would likely focus on U.S. military officers linked to Trump’s former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Mark Milley.
Mark Milley was quoted in Bob Woodward’s book “War,” published last month, as describing Trump as “fundamentally fascist” and Trump’s allies considering him to be with the former president. He was targeted for infidelity.
Another source said that any person or official who received a position from Mark Milley will be fired. According to sources, the list of people who have been supported by Mark Milley is long.

The plans to fire senior leaders of the US armed forces were revealed a day before the presidential election, when Trump chose Pat Hegseth as his defense secretary.
Pat Hegseth has been a Fox News commentator and veteran who has expressed his intention to purge the Pentagon of undesirables.

In what ways might Elon Musk influence defense policies and military strategies under the new administration?
**Interview with Dr. Samantha Greene, Political Analyst and Defense Expert**
**Editor:** Thank you for joining us, Dr. Greene. There’s been a significant shift in the U.S. political landscape following Donald Trump’s recent presidential victory. Can you share your insights on the potential impact this might have on the Pentagon and military leadership?
**Dr. Greene:** Absolutely, it’s a critical time. With Trump back in the White House, we’re witnessing a potential shake-up in the military hierarchy. Traditionally, transitions of power can lead to personnel changes, but the reports of multiple high-ranking dismissals, including the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, signal a more aggressive overhaul.
**Editor:** It’s interesting to note that this time, the dynamics are different, especially with figures like Elon Musk entering the fold. How do you think Musk’s relationship with Trump influences military and defense policies?
**Dr. Greene:** Musk’s entry into the political scene complicates things further. Although he has been critical of Trump in the past, his ability to influence technology and defense industries can’t be understated. His partnerships in defense contracting—like with SpaceX—might give him some sway in shaping Trump’s military agenda, assuming he is involved in any advisory capacity.
**Editor:** The news suggests that a list of names for potential dismissals has already been prepared in the Pentagon. What does that indicate about the current administration’s approach towards military leadership?
**Dr. Greene:** It demonstrates a proactive strategy to consolidate power and align the military leadership with Trump’s vision. Historically, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff has played a key role in maintaining military stability and continuity. If they’re looking to replace this position and others, it could lead to significant shifts in military policy and operational readiness.
**Editor:** Lastly, what should the American public be aware of as these changes unfold?
**Dr. Greene:** The public should remain vigilant about how these leadership changes might affect national security and military operations. Transparency in the decision-making process and the qualifications of incoming leaders will be crucial. It’s essential for citizens to engage in discussions about the implications of such transitions on domestic and international fronts in the coming months.
**Editor:** Thank you, Dr. Greene, for your expertise. We appreciate your insights during this turbulent time in U.S. politics.
**Dr. Greene:** Thanks for having me!
