#1174676 — DOGE Can't Add

What's three orders of magnitude to a rocket surgeon like
Elon "Nazi" Musk?
 | 
 | DOGE Claimed It Saved $8 Billion in One Contract. It Was
 | Actually $8 Million.
 | 
 | The biggest single line item on the website of Elon Musk's
 | cost-cutting team appears to include an error.

 | 
 | DOGE released data about federal contract savings. It
 | doesn't add up
 | 
 | A new government tracker claims DOGE has saved billions
 | from ending federal contracts. But an NPR analysis of the
 | data finds the claimed savings don't add up.

    There is no one auditing DOGE to 
verify their claims. Musk say it,
MAGA believes it, and that settles it.

 | DOGE says it's saving $100 billion. It's about to lose a
