Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk is set to deliver a keynote speech at the United States Military Academy at West Point on Friday.

Musk's address, billed as a "fireside chat," is part of the academy's intellectual theme, "The Human and the Machine: Leadership on the Emerging Battlefield." The event is not open to the public.

West Point routinely invites prominent thought leaders related to its annual theme. Musk's speech is expected to focus on the intersection of technology and leadership.

Musk's companies, including SpaceX and Tesla, have received significant federal contracts and have ties to the military. His visit to West Point comes amid ongoing controversy surrounding his public statements and endorsements.
