This is not at all true. And I'll add that what the man is doing with Anduril -- single-handedly working to modernize defense development and procurement -- is downright heroic. And long overdue, to say the very least.

It's a tool, and almost certainly a more humane tool than the alternatives.
Before Anduril was established, nobody was certain whether a company like that could even exist. A company, focused on defense projects, that doesn't just make software, but makes real things in the real world -- and that company operates along modern lines and isn't a bloated old MIC dinosaur. The odds were stacked heavily against them. But they're winning.
Today, all major powers are experimenting with, or already utilizing, "unmanned, automated killing machines" -- in addition to AI for C4I and other purposes. A responsible Department of Defense has literally no choice but to keep pace, and it would be the height of irresponsibility not to attempt to outrun its competitors. They don't have the luxury of closing their eyes and pretending that the world is at peace and that swords must now become ploughshares -- they have to take the world as it really is, not as they might hope it is.
The bottom line is simply this: The desire of peace-loving people to spare the world from militarism and war must include a commitment to maintain a strong and capable defense.
Besides, military procurement in the USA is slow as molasses, captured by lobbyists and a clique of prime contractors, and red-tape laden to a degree that people working in the tech sector can hardly comprehend. Anduril, in its way, is working to fix that extremely serious problem.
