Bernie Sanders Backs Musk's Call to Cut Pentagon Budget with DOGE

Senator Bernie Sanders praised Elon Musk's proposal to cut defense spending, aligning with Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy's mission to reduce government expenditure through the "Department of Government Efficiency" commission. Sanders highlighted the Pentagon's repeated audit failures and the significant portion of defense spending going to private contractors, emphasizing the need for better oversight and reduced waste. Despite bipartisan concerns, the defense budget continues to grow, with lucrative contracts often awarded to a few major firms.
