Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has come under fire for misleading savings claims reported on its digital platform, with NPR uncovering inflated figures along with erroneous data. Initially claiming $55 billion in savings, a review pegged actual savings at only about $2 billion, highlighting discrepancies including an $8 billion typo and the erroneous inclusion of non-canceled contracts. Although DOGE has updated its figures to $65 billion, analysts found minimal change in actual savings, raising concerns about the integrity of government data and transparency in operations.
As the Department of Government Efficiency continues its mission, mistakes in its savings claims have raised eyebrows, with recent updates including substantial inaccuracies according to an NPR review.
Musk stated during a Cabinet meeting that the Department of Government Efficiency seeks to reshape federal operations, insisting on transparency for its savings despite providing inflated figures.
