Bernie Sanders supports Elon Musk's call to cut Pentagon spending

Senator Bernie Sanders has expressed support for Elon Musk's call to cut government spending, particularly in defense. In a post on X, Sanders highlighted the Pentagon's $886 billion budget and its failure to pass audits, urging for reductions. Sanders noted that the Pentagon has lost track of billions and has struggled to balance its budget for years. He emphasized the need for change, criticizing the military budget for waste and fraud. This agreement marks a rare alignment between Sanders, a democratic socialist, and Musk, a billionaire entrepreneur. They have previously found common ground on issues like healthcare and obesity treatments.
