Is DOGE Just Making Up Numbers And Hoping No One Notices?

In its first public accounting, DOGE made huge, embarrassing errors — and still hasn’t acknowledged them.

Summary

Elon Musk’s DOGE is facing scrutiny for significant accounting errors in its reported federal savings.

DOGE initially claimed an $8 billion ICE contract reduction, but the actual figure was $8 million—1,000 times less—an error traced to a faulty government database.

Despite correcting the ICE figure, DOGE did not adjust its overall $55 billion savings estimate, which lacks clear justification.

The ICE error wasn’t the only issue. CBS News found DOGE had triple-counted a $654.99 million savings on a single contract, overstating savings by as much as $1.96 billion.
