Q: Why is it so bad for Bernie to say, "Elon was right about cutting government spending?" The government does spend too much sometimes. Isn't it always good to acknowledge when your opponent makes a valid point?

A:
Saying "Musk is right about..."

Or "Trump was right about..."

Or "Hitler was right about..."

Is a silly rhetorical device designed to curry favor with people that hate you, but irredeemably loses you trust with people that used to like you. You never need to say it.
