WASHINGTON – U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth met billionaire Elon Musk at the Pentagon on Wednesday, officials said, the second known time the close ally of President Donald Trump has visited the Pentagon.

“The Secretary met with Elon Musk and other members of the X AI team this morning,” Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell said in a statement.

“The Department of Defense is committed to engaging with AI industry CEOs to ensure our warfighters are equipped to face 21st century threats,” Parnell added.

Earlier on Wednesday, Hegseth’s pastor, Brooks Potteiger, had said on X: “It’s not everyday you walk past Elon Musk en route to preach.” Potteiger spoke at a Christian prayer service at the Pentagon on Wednesday.
