Steve Simoni, a former Department of Defense insider, claims that Elon Musk's dealings with Dogecoin (DOGE) could uncover significant waste within the Pentagon's budget. He points to inefficiencies in spending, such as overpriced cables, and suggests that the funds saved could be redirected toward modernizing military technology, particularly against drone threats. Simoni emphasizes that American military capabilities need to improve in response to China's drone manufacturing dominance. DOGE aims to engage with the Pentagon to identify and eliminate wasteful spending from the defense budget, potentially impacting future appropriations and strategic investments.
