Yeah, preemptive pardon.
Why?
Why would you need to preemptively pardon someone?
They aren't being investigated, aren't they?
Why would you pardon someone who is innocent?

Because there's going to be a president who'll weaponize the justice system to go after his political opponents while also keeping his own criminal family out of prison, something which has never, ever happened before!

Interesting side effect of a pardon. You can no longer invoke 5th amendment right against incriminating yourself in testimony for the conduct covered by the pardon.
But you can be charged with perjury if you lie in that testimony.

Elon Musk is trying to convince Americans to weaken their militarily this morning by attacking the F-35 and is amplifying Russian propaganda accounts to convince them
Elon Musk has been posting about Chinese bots a lot this week. Now he’s posting under the guise of the Wall Street account and responding to it to amplify it to his audience, that Trump should cancel the contracts for the F-35. The same plant that Isreal just used all over the Middle East these past months. What’s more he’s getting Russian propaganda accounts to also amplify the message

Yes, because stating the obvious that *checks notes* the F35 is way overpriced and the entire program blew the budget through the roof is *checks notes* Russian propaganda.

Befuddled Elon Musk Proposes Theory That Homeless People Don't Actually Exist
It's no secret that multi-hyphenate CEO and richest man in the world Elon Musk has become fully detached from reality. He has long surrounded himself with sycophants, going as far as to buy himself a social media network to systematically tune out his critics. Musk has also long looked down on...

The main issue seems to be the unavailability of spare parts. That's pretty normal given the limited production rate and new aircraft representing more value than the sum of all of their parts, so manufacturers focussing on assembling airframes (quite possibly due to contracts, manufacturers being more scared of being taken to court by Lockheed Martin than they are of any government).
Also not sure how it's for each brand of the US armed forces, but for many European countries it's not unheard of for them to buy new equipment but barely any spare parts if at all for them, only ordering after something has broken down, the politicians have had their say and the money has been allocated.
And that takes months to years, especially if the funding for the current year has been spent and it gets delayed until the next budgetary year.

Ontario premier says US energy exports will be cut off if Trump imposes sweeping tariffs on Canada
The premier of Canada’s most populous says he will cut off energy to the United States if President-elect Donald Trump imposed sweeping tariffs on all Canadian products.
apnews.com
He comes out of the meeting with trudeau and this is what they decided to threaten Trump with.
Canada already tariffs the entire world 20% before applying their other tariffs
Canadian GST + HST = 20%
American GST + HST = 0%
- Ontario produced 498 barrels per day of light oil in 2023
= Another full of S**t Canadian.

It is true when we had full employment these issues were not this bad and it won't be improved by AI no matter how they and Musk paint it.

Additionally, what is more expensive? The F-117, B2, F-15 -> F-16 and F-22 -> F-35 programs to create air supremacy through technology and numbers + highly accurate stand-off weapons or having to replace the 3346 aircraft and trained pilots shot down like in Vietnam because the tech levels were more or less equal?
There are limits to cost-benefit with diminishing returns (hence why the F-15 and F-22 are far less numerous than their "mundane" multi-role offspring), but the price tag for "just about good enough" is measured in many more airframes scattered across the surface and dead aircrew.
