In a recent move, the Defense Department has decided that startups are the secret to staying ahead of China’s military. Yes, you heard it right. The department is seeking the help of startups to fund and develop new weapon technology. What could be funnier than the US struggling to keep pace with China while using the power of startups?
The Defense Department has released a statement saying, “We have realized that startups are the future, they have the agility and innovation that is necessary to keep ahead of our opponents. Now, if we could just figure out how to work the coffee machine in their offices.”
Could it be possible that a couple of coders in a garage can give the US military the cutting edge technology they need? It sure seems like it! The US government plans to shower the startups with grants, funding, and resources to help them develop weapon technology that can outdo China’s. As if the war wasn’t already tense enough, now the US and China will be engaging in a battle of the startups.
“We have high hopes that our startups can come up with something genius,” says the Defense Department spokesperson, “plus, it’s always fun to see Silicon Valley types trying to understand our military jargon.”
Imagine a tiny startup working on a nuclear bomb or an AI-powered tank. We can’t help but wonder if it will be called “iTank.” But, one thing’s for sure, with startups being enlisted to work on military technology, we can expect that the wars of the future will be fought on a whole new level.
So, let’s all keep an eye out for the latest headline: “Small startup conquers the Chinese army with a drone made from recycled cardboard.”
