A consortium of tech giants, including SpaceX, Palantir, and OpenAI, is forming to bid for U.S. defense contracts. This group aims to challenge established defense contractors like Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, and Boeing, who dominate the Pentagon's procurement landscape. The consortium plans to announce its membership soon, potentially reshaping the defense contracting arena.

OpenAI's recent partnership with Anduril to develop anti-drone systems raises ethical concerns among its employees, especially after the company relaxed its military usage policy. The involvement of Peter Thiel, a controversial figure in tech and defense, adds another layer of complexity to this emerging alliance.
