The Pentagon has identified $80 million in wasteful spending with help from Elon Musk’s DOGE team.
Cuts include millions spent on DEI programs and university research unrelated to military operations.
Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said these expenses distract from the military’s core mission and must be eliminated.
The Department of Government Efficiency and DOGE promise more budget cuts soon.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth supports the move, stressing the need to remove redundancies.
The Pentagon aims to become leaner, more efficient, and focused on national security.
