  Sen. Bernie Sanders said he agrees with billionaire Elon Musk that Defense Department spending is too high with little accountability.

The article from Rolling Stone discusses Senator Bernie Sanders' criticism of Elon Musk and the Pentagon's budget. Sanders highlighted the disparity between Musk's wealth and the struggles of average Americans, particularly focusing on the issue of child poverty in the U.S. He pointed out that while Musk's wealth has significantly increased, many children live in poverty. Additionally, Sanders criticized the Pentagon's budget, noting that despite its already massive size, there are plans to increase it further. He argued that the U.S. spends more on defense than the next nine countries combined, questioning the necessity of such expenditures especially when domestic issues like poverty and healthcare remain unaddressed. Sanders' comments were made in the context of broader discussions on wealth inequality and military spending in America.
