Secretary of Defense welcomes Elon and DOGE to the Pentagon

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth invited Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) team to audit the Pentagon

focusing on rooting out waste, fraud, and inefficiency, which has caused frustration among Democrats

Hegseth, a staunch critic of woke identity politics in the military, is committed to strengthening the military and cutting unnecessary spending, starting with programs like climate change initiatives, which he believes should not be funded by the Defense Department.

Trump’s mandate for government efficiency is being carried out through Hegseth’s collaboration with Musk, aiming to save billions of dollars and redirect the funds to supporting warfighters and strengthening national defense.

Democrats and the media have been freaking out about DOGE exposing billions and billions of dollars in waste, fraud, and abuse in the federal bureaucracy.

Hegseth praised Musk as a “great patriot interested in advancing the America First agenda” and reminded Democrats that “Trump got 77 million votes in a mandate from the American people, and part of that is bringing actual businesslike efficiency to government.”

“And I hope to welcome Elon to the Pentagon very soon,” he added. “And his team is working in collaboration with us.”

The question for me is--why are Democrats opposed to getting rid of fraud and waste in our federal government?
