Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency, focused on cutting government waste and spending, has more than doubled its own spending.

Summary

Elon Musk’s DOGE has more than doubled its budget from $6.75 million to $14.4 million within three weeks.

DOGE has attempted to dismantle agencies like USAID, reduce the federal workforce, and gain control over Treasury’s digital payment system, which handles Social Security and tax refunds.

Despite its growing budget, DOGE claims to save $1 billion daily by eliminating DEI programs, canceling contracts, and terminating leases.

The office replaces the former U.S. Digital Services, which had a $60 million budget under Biden.

    If your budget ballooned 113.333% in three weeks. That tells me that you’re not very efficient, Muskie Boy.

    That implies that there is corruption of some kind, especially when there is no oversight on how your spending the money, Muskie Boy.
