  • Sen. Bernie Sanders turned to X on Sunday to say "Elon Musk is right" before going on about the Pentagon's wasteful spending and failed audits.

Bernie Sanders, in a recent interview, acknowledged that Elon Musk has a point about the need to cut Pentagon spending, highlighting the significant amount of money that has been unaccounted for within the Department of Defense.
