Billionaire Elon Musk's new “ Department of Government Efficiency ” ( DOGE ) is attracting interest from the left.

Progressives aren't likely to support much of what Musk and his partner, Vivek Ramaswamy , are aiming to do with DOGE .

But Musk has been critical of wasteful spending at the Pentagon and of overbudgeted programs helmed by defense contractors.

Some Democrats are seeing the comments as a possible indicator that Musk is serious about defense cuts.

DOGE is just an advisory group, and even if Trump gave an endorsement for defense cuts, Congress will have to sign off.

Most of Congress remains supportive of increasing the defense budget, including the incoming chair of the Senate Armed Services Committee , Sen. Roger Wicker .
