Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, who is heading up President Trump's new Department of Government Efficiency, agreed with an X post on Sunday that included video of Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., saying the billionaire's critics in Congress are addicted to "spending porn."

DOGE has been searching for waste and fraud at a host of federal agencies including the Treasury Department, Health and Human Services, the Education Department and others.

"They don't like Elon because of the way he dresses but they never criticize what he's finding because they can't. It's spending porn," Kennedy said in the video.

"Exactly," Musk responded to the post.
