Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has gained an outspoken ally from the tech world after announcing a strike on a drug-smuggling boat. Joe Lonsdale defended Hegseth, saying public hangings should be revived after 'three violent crimes'. In his post on X, he described it as bringing back 'masculine leadership'.
Critics condemned Hegseth's actions as outrageous, but Lonsdale argued that 'killing bad guys' is part of the job. He later offered virtual praise for the Secretary of War, saying he should 'brag more' about the decision.
