From the same media that for 4 years said ‘we missed Biden‘s cognitive decline, it was hid from us‘..kalm wrote: ↑Sat May 03, 2025 3:04 pmAnd you should be butthurt. And we haven’t even discussed the lost services (or revenue in the case of the IRS). Musk can send a rocket to Mars but proper accounting is a bridge to far apparently.![]()
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cn4j33klz33oIn October, Mr Musk pledged to cut "at least $2 trillion" from the federal government budget. He subsequently halved this target and on 10 April talked about making savings of $150bn from "cutting fraud and waste" by the end of the next financial year in 2026.
The US federal budget for the last financial year was $6.75tn.
Doge publishes a running total of its estimated savings on its website - which stood at $160bn the last time the site was updated on 20 April.
However, less than 40% of this figure is broken down into individual savings.
We downloaded the data from the Doge website on 23 April and added up the total claimed savings from contracts, grants and leases.
Our analysis found only about half of these itemised savings had a link to a document or other form of evidence.
160 billion in 100 days. Imagine what DOGE will do in 4 years..
