Elon Musk is right.

The Pentagon, with a budget of $886 billion, just failed its 7th audit in a row. It’s lost track of billions.

Last year, only 13 senators voted against the Military Industrial Complex and a defense budget full of waste and fraud.

That must change.

The statement is a supportive reply to a tweet by Senator Bernie Sanders, which critiques the Pentagon's budget management and calls for change in defense spending. The original tweet by Sanders constitutes public discourse as it addresses a significant public issue related to government spending and accountability.
