Nearly a billion dollars of DOGE’s ‘savings’ vanished overnight

Donald Trump’s presidency so far has featured a plethora of executive orders and political decisions, some of which controversial. Most recently, his administration came under fire because of the high tariffs he imposed on nearly every country in the world.

Experts argue that this decision will affect U.S. economy and trigger inflation, but Trump believes it would in fact strengthen the economy. He even asked from the public to trust his judgement, promising to make America great again.

Kamala Harris was among those who predicted the situation the country is currently in. She claimed during the presidential campaign that in case Trump gets elected, his plans “would weaken our economy, would inflate inflation, and would bring a recession on by the middle of next year.”

Besides the controversies surrounding Trump’s political decisions, it is the work of his friend Elon Musk that causes a stir.

Even since Trump appointed him the head of the Department of Government Efficiency, a special program aimed at reducing government spending and bureaucracy, Musk has triggered the backlash of a number of experts.

According to Economic Times, Musk claimed in February that DOGE have reduced federal spending by $65 billion through “a combination of asset sales, contract cancellations, fraud deletion, interest savings, and workforce reductions.”

Following these claims, nearly $1 billion-worth of savings from DOGE’s advertized sum suddenly ‘vanished’ when they updated their website recently, NOTUS reports.

According to the investigative platform, “DOGE removed around $962 million in previously claimed cuts and altered hundreds of others to boost individual items’ purported ‘savings’ values.”

While DOGE pledged to be transparent regarding their savings, their website remained without any updates from the end of March to April 14, when they wrote the “agency” has saved $155 billion.

While many judged the work of Musk and DOGE, the White House defended him, with the press secretary Karoline Leavitt sating that “rogue bureaucrats and activist judges attempting to undermine this effort are only subverting the will of the American people.”
