Palmer Luckey, founder of Anduril, stated he is advising Project Meridian in a personal capacity. He challenged claims about Anduril being a major Pentagon contractor, asserting its lower ranking in defense revenue. Elon Musk supported Luckey's comments, noting government defense revenue is a small fraction of his companies' total earnings. Project Meridian aims to evaluate potential changes in future warfare and is linked to a Defense Secretary-led commission.
