Senator Bernie Sanders has expressed agreement with Elon Musk regarding the U.S. defense budget. In a recent social media post, Sanders criticized the Pentagon's $886 billion budget, noting it has failed its audit seven times and lost track of billions. Sanders highlighted Congress's reluctance to address military spending, pointing out that only 13 senators opposed the defense budget last year. He called for change in how military funds are allocated. Musk, who is involved in a new government efficiency initiative, has also emphasized the need to improve the effectiveness of defense spending rather than simply increasing the budget.
