I don't see why this is a problem or even remotely controversial.

The government does waste billions and it should be audited. No one can deny Musk is right about that.
I don't trust Musk though and his ulterior motives are the issue.

These dudes are playing in our faces saying we can't afford universal healthcare, education or social programs while they waste our $ with little oversight.

As a person who served in the Military, I'll say you can see the waste 1st hand on a day to day basis. I say this as a person who served from 96-04. Being in a 3rd echelon unit that repaired/replaced high dollar items. We were always encouraged to hide shyt, or order "extra" and it just appears. Whatever you needed put it on a form by 0800, with other "needed items" and it's there by noon. If you've never seen a Military warehouse on a logistics base., think of Costco on steroids, with tanks and humvees as far as the eye can see, along with just about anything else. I've never encountered any such thing in the civilian world. It's always just a ddform 012726...or whatever as long as it's filled out correctly, you will get your order.

Another one is the price of parts. Why do we pay $500 for a 1000-pack of screws or o-rings when those same shíts cost $75 at Lowes:skip:? The material is the exact same also:skip:
This is false. You're not buying the same parts at Lowe's as they don't meet the requirements necessary to be used in every machine/vehicle in the military.​

The left is so fukking weak. Meanwhile even if some mafukkaz on the right not all the way cool with MAGA, they remain on code.

Bernie is a clown. Elon is the enemy, treat him as such.

You can articulate your point about wasteful spending without giving kudos to Elon Musk. :camby:

I think he has put elon on the spot to either cut wastage or stfu and go away forever..we all know he is a fraud, not a genius and bought tesla.

Let’s be honest. Us as voters should absolutely call them out

Other politicians? Highly unlikely as it will open the door to their own party or themselves getting called out on false promises.

The trick is to run off stuff you know won’t or don’t care to get accomplished, hope the public won’t call you out during non election years.

Rinse & repeat
Bernie was never shy about calling out #bothsides. Voters who actually pay attention too need to call out #bothsides.

In this case, they made a promise. Bernie should sound the horn every fukking chance he gets if they don't follow through on cutting our bloated ass military budget.

It isnt about elon musk being right, for decades people on the left and right have called for cutting waste , fraud and abuse in the pentagon and other governmental agencies, under obama military spending went down in comparison to trump, it is the republicans that are always for increasing and propping up the defense budget so its ironic that elon would propose this when the candidate he used his entire platform to spread propaganda for increase military budgets in his first tenure

Sure this is Bernie

It’s highly doubtful others follow his lead for the reasons I mentioned

Hmmm…. Poking the military bear. That should be interesting. You know how they feel about them folks and all that “proud to be an American” stuff. I’m just going to sit back like Mike Jack with the popcorn and watch this.
