Musk sharply criticized the F-35, calling the design 'shit,' suggesting plans to target the overpriced program as part of cutting federal spending.
Historically, Congress has valued the F-35 stealth fighter despite its developmental setbacks, ongoing cost overruns, and declining operational readiness.
