Watch: Pete Hegseth, Elon Musk speak at Starbase

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth visited SpaceX's location in Texas, also known as Starbase.

The visit was part of Hegseth's ‘Arsenal of Freedom’ industry tour to advance President Trump's "Peace Through Strength" agenda.

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk introduced Hegseth.

Earlier in the day, Hegseth visited Lockheed Martin's Fort Worth F-35 production plant this afternoon. He addressed Lockheed Martin employees and the local press on the administration's defense plans.

"For too long, Pentagon bureaucracy has hindered the speed and might of our manufacturing base, obstructing innovation and warfare solutions from companies like SpaceX and Lockheed Martin," the Department of Defense said in a press release.
