GAO finds Elon Musk's DOGE inflated claims of $110 billion in savings for federal government
The nonpartisan watchdog found Elon Musk's DOGE didn't cut as much federal spending as it claimed and that it fell far short of its promised $2 trillion.
AI Summary
The Government Accountability Office found that Elon Musk's DOGE program inflated its claimed $110 billion in federal savings, with many contract terminations not actually occurring and lease savings overstated. The report noted that thousands of claimed contract terminations had no action taken, and some cuts were already in progress before DOGE existed. These findings undercut the Trump administration's claims of meaningful government spending reductions.
