In what way does it make America weaker?

Assuming this was asked in good faith, I'll answer it as such. It weakens us by knocking out experienced and talented DoD employees.

  Do we need more? There are literally millions of DoD employees. Nothing presented here (in this or related articles) is convincing. Typical FUD.

    Spinning down the team made to bring silicon valley innovation to defense is deeply problematic when the accusations is that DoD is inefficient.

      What innovation? Eliminating these positions harms nothing and is just part of the standard propaganda campaign we always see whenever anything DoD related gets looked at sideways.

You don’t see why we want to “counter adversarial drones?” Put it another way. What would we have paid to have an Elon Musk in Beijing or Moscow ten years ago?

  No, I don't. We have enough people "countering adversarial drones." You won't get a Elon in Beijing or Moscow ever. The confines their societies operate under will not allow it.

    Too bad we have their Elon here.

      Quite bad, if the recent American security breaches are anything to work off of.

    > You won't get a Elon in Beijing or Moscow Elon qua Tesla or SpaceX? Yes. Elon qua DOGE? Literally every failed state is full of them. Good starting place is the country in which Elon (and David Sacks) grew up.

Answered in article: One of the DSS’ main responsibilities was to introduce fast track technology during national security incidents to help the Pentagon to quickly react to developing situations. While DSS responsibilities will be passed on to another department, it is unclear how long it will take for the Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office to assume DSS responsibilities - potentially putting the security of the Pentagon at risk.
