Bernie Sanders Sounds Alarm On Elon Musk's Frightening 'Prelude' For Social Security
HuffPost
The Vermont senator ripped the billionaire after he spotted the "big one" among "waste" in the federal budget.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) dug into Elon Musk on Monday over the billionaire’s attempts to undermine benefit programs like Social Security with his talks of wasteful spending in the federal government.
“Why do you make it look like it’s a broken, dysfunctional system? The reason is to get people to lose faith in the system and then you can give it over to Wall Street,” said Sanders in an interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper.
His criticism comes after Musk, in an interview with Fox Business Network’s Larry Kudlow, entertained cuts to government “entitlements” like Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.
The billionaire told Kudlow that there’s been “waste and fraud in entitlement spending” and referred to it as the “big one to eliminate” in the federal budget.
