  • Elon Musk has been appointed as the head of the quasi-governmental Department of Government Efficiency for the upcoming term of President-elect Donald Trump. He's called for a massive drawdown in government spending as part of a wider GOP push to hobble the administrative state.

The article from MSN discusses a rare point of agreement between Elon Musk and Senator Bernie Sanders on the issue of Pentagon spending. Elon Musk, known for his involvement in various high-tech industries, has criticized the excessive spending by the U.S. Department of Defense, suggesting that it's often wasteful. Senator Bernie Sanders, a long-time advocate for reducing military expenditures, echoed Musk's sentiments by agreeing that the Pentagon's budget, which is significantly larger than that of many other countries combined, could be cut.
