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 including the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, National Guard and others 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.

What changes in military leadership can we expect under Trump’s administration, and how might this impact national security?
### Interview: The Implications of Trump’s Return to the White House
**Host:** Welcome to our special segment where we discuss the shifting dynamics in U.S. politics following Donald Trump’s recent presidential victory. Joining us today is political analyst Jane Thompson. Jane, thank you for being here.
**Jane Thompson:** Thank you for having me.
**Host:** Let’s dive right in. We have reports indicating that with Trump back in the White House, significant changes may be on the horizon for the military’s leadership. Specifically, it seems that several high-ranking officials, including the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, could be dismissed. What are your thoughts on this?
**Jane Thompson:** It’s a significant development. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff plays a crucial role as the military’s top advisor to the president. Dismissing such a key figure could shake up not only military operations but also the chain of command in the armed forces. This move can be seen as part of Trump consolidating power and ensuring loyalty among military leaders, which has been a consistent theme in his leadership style.
**Host:** Indeed, loyalty seems paramount for Trump. Interestingly, we also see Elon Musk—a figure who has previously criticized Trump—now connected to his administration. What does this alliance mean for the future?
**Jane Thompson:** Musk’s alignment with Trump is intriguing. Given their previous tensions, this partnership suggests Musk might be looking to leverage his influence in tech and space for favorable policies or advantages. This kind of fusion of business and government ties can lead to a reshaping of priorities in areas like defense technology and innovation.
**Host:** You’re touching on a broader concern about the intertwining of business interests and government power. Any thoughts on how this could affect policy decisions, especially regarding national security?
**Jane Thompson:** Absolutely. We could see a shift towards privatization of certain military functions or incentives for tech advancements in defense. There’s potential for conflict of interest, where policy decisions favor private companies over public welfare. It’s a delicate balance, and this kind of intersection might provoke scrutiny from both media and lawmakers.
**Host:** Looking ahead, what can we expect regarding public response to these changes, particularly from officials and the military?
**Jane Thompson:** There will likely be pushback from within the military establishment and possibly from Congress, especially if senior officers feel their careers are at risk without political allegiance. There is also the public to consider—how will citizens react to potential instability in military leadership and changes in policy priorities? It’s a critical period that will shape both military readiness and public trust in the government.
**Host:** A complex scenario unfolding. Thank you, Jane, for your insights today.
**Jane Thompson:** Thank you for having me; it’s always a pleasure to discuss these important issues.
**Host:** That was Jane Thompson, sharing her thoughts on the implications of Donald Trump’s presidency and the intertwining roles of political and business leaders like Elon Musk. Stay tuned for more analysis on the evolving political landscape.
