That is an AI generated avatar digital twin, not the real CEO.

CEO makes $30 million +.
Private in the Army makes $30,000.

CEO has to earn a lot. He is leading the company. Thats the whole point.
If the CEO would earn 100k.
Every other company on the planet would steal every good CEO for 150k.
Also CEO with low income is a risk because its possible he would take money for insider infos.
Will not happen with 30mio/year.

@Race_1000 private in the army makes very little. He is expendable and if he is killed it’s no big loss. That is the whole point.

@118Columbusthanks captain obvious. Not expendable like you say. Cost the US 500 million in operating cost to find our downed pilot in Iran. Not so expendable if we are spending that amount of resources.

Skunk works used to be one of the most agile modern military tech development groups.
He’s appealing to that reputation and is in essence wanting to return to that kind of service.

Yes because the 5 Primes have been ripping off the U.S. taxpayers for over 30 years since the end of the Cold War with the USSR due to government shutting down all the smaller defense contractors in the 1990s.

lol figure out the block 4 upgrade man and how to mass produce stuff. Total joke the big primes need to be broken up.

Yep, that’s my main problem with Lockheed right now. Tech refresh 3 is a joke + the cooling issues and the new radar issues are really annoying me as well.

Unwatchable. These guys will all fail and it’s about time. As an unemployed engineer at the moment, I’m deciding to shift to defense/UAV and I would never want to work for any of the old guard.

8-10 key missions, add Z axis <— DARPA. Sounds like gobbledegook: Throw a whole bunch of systems together and claim credit for an outcome. Like Comcast or Verizon claiming to be AI.
