Musk late on Thursday reposted part of a long-running series by Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, a Republican who has devoted much of his career to lamenting federal spending.
In Paul’s crosshairs were medical research projects, foreign aid, and public information projects.
“The Department of Government Efficiency (@DOGE ) will fix this,” said a post by Musk’s America PAC, which Musk reposted on X.
‘Festivus’ complaints
It could offer a window into the types of programs that will attract the focus of Musk and his partner in the project, Vivek Ramaswamy.
Paul has been publishing his end-of-year spending critiques for at least a decade, calling them “The Festivus Report” in a nod to the holiday popularized on “Seinfeld” that celebrates complaining.
