Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency deleted over 30 different government contracts from its website’s “Wall of Receipts” this week after a New York Times investigation found them to still be active.
The Times found 44 contracts that DOGE had claimed to end, but were still active.
The 44 contracts accounted for some $220 million of federal spending Musk’s team claimed it had saved.
In late April, the Partnership for Public Service (PSP) found that from the $160 billion DOGE had claimed to save the federal government, some additional $130 billion would need to be spent for paid leave, re-hiring mistakenly fired workers, and lost productivity.
Honestly surprised it got taken down. None of them seem that perturbed by being fact checked.
Lets also not forget that this is peanuts compared to the national budget even if it was true.
I am not saying to cut the national defense budget but can you imagine the low hanging fruit that can be gained just doing an audit.
“Move fast and break things! What? We have to pay extra money to fix things we break accidentally? But that will really cut into money we claim to save! This sucks!”

And that doesn’t count IRS not being able to enforce govt income
I know it’s not cool to mock someone’s physical appearance, but every photo I see of this fucker he looks more like a potato than the last. I believe he’s also wearing a medallion in this one.
When I was a kid, I had one of the original Mr potato head toys that used a real potato instead of a plastic body - you’d kind of pin the nose, hat, etc to the potato. If I still had that toy I could make a likeness of musk that was indistinguishable from the real thing.
hes getting fat from all the wine and ketamine consumption.
Guy needs more of that gender affirming care. (Plugs, testosterone, ozembic)
40% of the nation’s budget is blown on military spending, the next highest military spender, China, spends a quarter what the United States spends.
Of course, none of it matters if you just refuse to collect taxes. So DOGE “saved” 180 billion, it’s not true but even if it was - the fuck does it matter in the face of a 4.2 trillion reduction in tax assessments?
By 40% you mean about 13%, right? https://usafacts.org/government-spending/
We haven’t had 40% of spending in defense since about the time we put a man on the moon.
No, I was referring to discretionary spending.
So he really does have shame
Kim Jong Musk looks like an Austin Powers villain. What a putz.
