Will Elon Musk actually go after the Pentagon? - Ayman - MSNBC

[Rhiannon12866]

Trump has added the Pentagon to the growing list of departments and agencies targeted by Elon Musk’s DOGE. Yet, since that addition, Musk has remained silent on investigating it, instead focusing on institutions that many everyday Americans rely on. The Pentagon commands one of the largest portions of the federal budget—so why wasn’t that the priority?

MSNBC’s Ayman Mohyeldin examines why the Pentagon is one of the most wasteful departments DOGE could investigate, why Musk and Trump are targeting vulnerable institutions instead, and why taking on the Pentagon in Musk’s unlawful power grab would not serve his best interests. - Aired on 02/09/2025.

4. The clue is the low bar they set for their effort

Billions or maybe 100s of millions out of a 900 billion dollar annual budget. The goal isn't to find much waste just some talking points for Fux Newz.

5. I think you're right, his priority is to find talking points rather doing his job which is to work for the American people
