‘Progressive’ Sanders also said, “Musk is right”… The argument for waste of the defense budget is strengthened.

I posted an article to the effect that ‘Musk’s claim that the defense budget is being wasted is correct.’ He said, “Elon Musk is right.”

“The U.S. Department of Defense, with a budget of $886 billion, has failed to pass an audit for seven consecutive years. “The use of billions of dollars of funds is untraceable,” he pointed out. “Last year, only 13 senators voted against the military-industrial complex and a defense budget riddled with waste and corruption. “This situation must change,” he added.

In response to this post, Musk expressed his agreement by adding two American flag emoticons.

Democratic Representative Roe Kanner, a member of the U.S. House Armed Services Committee, also said in an interview with CNN on the 25th, “Our party is willing to discuss plans to reform the defense budget with Musk’s Government Efficiency Department,” and added, “They will ultimately present recommendations.” “And bipartisan cooperation in the defense field will be possible,” he said.

Musk recently pointedly criticized America’s advanced stealth fighter F-35 as an ‘example of budget waste’ and predicted a drastic reduction in the defense budget. He wrote on his X account on the 25th, “The F-35 design had problems from the requirements stage. “It was asked to meet too many things,” he wrote. “This has resulted in the F-35 becoming an expensive and complex aircraft that can do a little bit of everything but excel at nothing.” Musk criticized the previous day, saying, “There are still idiots who build manned fighter jets like the F-35.” He also emphasized the need to switch to drones, saying manned fighter jets are anachronistic equipment that puts pilots’ lives at risk.
