How much has Elon Musk's Doge cut from US Government spending?

The original 2 Trillion was described as "waste" by Musk which means the claims have reduced even more than this indicates.
1659447091•9mo ago
For the top 4 claims investigated that actually had documents/evidence - DoGE's claims are actually speculation based on the maximum/ceiling contract values and projected future costs, not actual expenditures.

For example an IRS IT contract that "saved" 1.9 billion (contract total value) but showed no actual spending had happened (but excused as poor record keeping). Oh, and the contractor's CEO said the agreement had been cancelled by Biden last year.

A Migrant Facility contract with a 2.9 billion celling (or in DoGE speak, "savings") that needs to be renewed each year until 2028. The real, documentable savings are approximately $153 million. Estimated from the 18m/month fixed running cost from February (announced cuts) until the annual review to renew in November.

Of the stated 160billion in saving, only 32.5billion have receipt, and going on the above pattern of "saving" claims, DoGE is looking more like cover for a data grab and compromising systems to assure that data keeps flowing in once they get kicked out. However, not included in their saving total is the unemploying of some ~200k middle-class Americans

treetalker•9mo ago
One question I have, related to your last point, is how much any "savings" has been offset by the effects of the utter chaos that DOGE alone has caused. My hypothesis is that DOGE has only increased waste from the perspective of the public.
