FINALLY! I’ve been saying for a long time that the logistics of running DOGE, and factoring in the cost of fired employees; would impact the “savings.” And I don’t even think this number is close to the economic damage- parks, tourism etc. Unmitigated disaster. www.yahoo.com/news/doges-1... - ThreadSky

Blatant corruption!!

I am curious about the 135 number. Does that include contracts that were already paid??? Cost of damages from lawsuits? Loss of services?? Damages to government systems that will need re-programming, auditing, etc? So much to factor in.

Oops! I mean the 165 billion.

I don’t believe it either. It’s just the number that Elon has claimed. I truly believe that eventually we’ll find out that DOGE actually cost us money and ran a deficit. Just a smokescreen for musk to gain more contracts and access information

Exactly!! I think the trade secrets were a big win as well. Then the contracts that we don't seem to take bids for anymore! Like Starlink replacing Verizon mid project. No penalty??? The list is endless! We won't know until years after we get rid of him!! He cost us in $$ and lives the 1st time!

It's not "savings."It's the end of public goods that can best be provided by government.
