Musk’s $8 Billion DOGE Savings Claim Debunked Amid Fraud Accusations
Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) erroneously reported $8 billion in savings from a canceled D&G Support Services contract with ICE, a figure later corrected to $8 million. This error, stemming from a database inaccuracy, is one of several inconsistencies found in DOGE’s $55 billion savings claim. DOGE has yet to publicly address these discrepancies, which include misrepresenting already-paid funds and pre-existing closures as cost savings. The inaccurate reporting has led to accusations of misrepresentation and “cooking the books.”
