DOGE claimed it saved $8 billion in one contract. It was actually $8 million. - eviltoast

Summary

DOGE announced on Monday the cancellation of several government contracts, claiming total savings of $16 billion.

However, nearly half of this amount was attributed to an $8 billion contract for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) that, upon review, was actually valued at $8 million.

Additionally, a larger reported savings figure of $55 billion lacked detailed documentation.

The ICE contract in question, with D&G Support Services, was intended to provide program and technical support for ICE’s Office of Diversity and Civil Rights.

    Waymo has been functional and that’s the hilarious part. Musk just fucking sucks - he acquired a company with an immense head start and managed to somehow fall a decade behind the competition.
