Elon Musk has sharply criticized the F-35 fighter jet program, labeling it "the worst military value for money in history" due to its high operating costs and technical issues. This critique resurfaces amid President Donald Trump's offer to supply F-35 jets to India. Musk argues that the F-35's design is flawed, being "an expensive and complex jack of all trades, master of none." He advocates for unmanned aerial systems (UAS) as the future of air combat, suggesting that manned fighter jets are becoming obsolete. Musk's comments have reignited debates on the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of the F-35 program, especially concerning its potential acquisition by India.
