Boeing CMO Credits Elon Musk for Speeding Up Air Force One Jets

Boeing’s chief executive officer, Kelly Ortberg, has revealed that Elon Musk and his team are helping the company overcome delays in producing the next fleet of Air Force One jets. The planes have been behind schedule for years due to bottlenecks. Ortberg praised Musk’s ability to quickly identify technical requirements that can be adjusted or bypassed, enabling the planemaker to accelerate production. This move comes as President Trump has expressed interest in purchasing a different jet if the delays persist.
