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.
Earlier in his election campaign, Donald Trump has given a threatening message to those military journals that criticized the withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan in 2021.
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, in which Trump was described as “fundamentally fascist” and Trump’s allies considered 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.
It should be noted that the Joint Chiefs of Staff is the highest position in the US military and includes the heads of the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, National Guard and Space Force.
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.

How might Elon Musk’s relationship with the Trump administration influence public perception of political and business alliances?
**Interview with Political Analyst Dr. Sarah Thompson on Recent Developments in U.S. Politics Post-Trump Victory**
**Editor:** Thank you for joining us today, Dr. Thompson. The political landscape seems to be shifting dramatically following Donald Trump’s recent presidential victory. Can you share your insights on how this may affect the Pentagon and the military?
**Dr. Thompson:** Thank you for having me. Yes, the changes we’re witnessing are monumental. With Trump back in office, there is a significant shift in military leadership expected. Reports suggest that several top officials, including the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, are on the chopping block. This indicates a desire for loyalty among Trump’s appointees, which could lead to instability within the armed forces.
**Editor:** Right, and we’ve seen how military leadership plays a crucial role in U.S. defense strategies. Do you think this could affect international relations as well?
**Dr. Thompson:** Absolutely. A transition of this magnitude in military leadership can cause uncertainty both domestically and abroad. Allies may question the consistency of U.S. military policies, while adversaries could interpret this as a sign of vulnerability or tumult within U.S. defense. The Pentagon being in a state of flux is certainly not ideal for maintaining strong global alliances.
**Editor:** What do you make of Elon Musk’s involvement in the White House amidst this turmoil? His past criticisms of Trump seem to contrast sharply with this newfound closeness.
**Dr. Thompson:** Musk is an interesting figure in all of this. His ability to influence public opinion and his economic prowess give him a unique role in the current administration. His motivations for aligning with Trump now could be multifaceted, potentially reflecting a strategic move to ensure favorable policies for his businesses. However, this shift raises questions about the transparency and integrity of those in influential positions.
**Editor:** what do you foresee for the future of the military under Trump’s leadership and with potential new appointments?
**Dr. Thompson:** That’s the crux of the matter; it’s uncertain. If Trump prioritizes loyalty over experience, we could see a significant shift in military focus and strategy that may not align with historical norms. It’s a delicate balance, and the actions taken in the coming weeks will be critical in determining the effectiveness of military leadership and the overall security posture of the United States.
**Editor:** Thank you, Dr. Thompson, for your valuable insights. The implications of these changes will surely unfold in the coming days.
**Dr. Thompson:** Thank you for having me; it’s a critical time for U.S. politics and global security.
