Members of Elon Musk’s “department of government efficiency” arrived at the Pentagon Friday, in what appeared to be their first meeting with defense department staff, a US official told Reuters. The official spoke on condition of anonymity.

Donald Trump has said the Pentagon would be an early target of Musk’s government budget and personnel slashing team and that he expects the tech billionaire to find hundreds of billions of dollars in fraud and abuse in the department.

I'm just saying, the Pentagon seems a place where people might get lost...

I think every American questions if the DOD really needs the budget it says it does but I don't trust Muskrat or Trump or their cronies to be the ones to make the right choices.
