Elon Musk's DOGE Was Far More of a Dismal Failure Than We Thought

futurism.com Unknown 2025-11-16 14:50:33

Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency originally promised to save the government $2 trillion in waste. That target quickly dropped to $1 trillion.

Elon’s DOGE Claimed It Saved $8 Billion. The Real Figure Was $8 Million.

Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency claims to be fighting the scourge of government “waste” and fraud and, this week, DOGE claimed that it had already saved taxpayers tens of billions of dollars. However, in an ironic twist, it would appear that the claims being made by Musk and DOGE about their own activities appear to be, themselves, fraudulent. Despite recently claiming that it had already saved Americans $55 billion, the information on DOGE’s website only accounts for $16 billio
