Musk wrote on social media that the "F-35 design was broken at the requirement stage because too many people were asking too much."
As a result, he pointed out that "the F-35 has become an expensive and complex, capable of doing little bit of everything, but not doing anything excellently." "Success was not included in the category of possible outcomes in the first place." "
On the previous day, he also complained that there are still "idiotes" who make manned fighter jets such as F-35s.
The F-35 is a fifth-generation stealth multi-purpose fighter developed by Lockheed Martin, the world's largest defense company.
It is a model introduced by countries such as South Korea, the United Kingdom, Japan, Norway, the Netherlands, and Israel, as well as the U.S. Department of Defense.
Musk has argued that the drone war is the future, saying Lockheed Martin's fighter jets are becoming relics of the old era.
In particular, he has emphasized the introduction of fighter jets capable of autonomous manoeuvres while being remotely controlled by humans.
Musk's comments are observed to be intended to significantly cut the Pentagon's F-35 related costs.
