Yep, DOGE is as incompetent as everyone thought. An $8 million "saving" has been listed as an $8 BILLION saving.
That is 14.5% of their total claimed $55 billion in "savings" having been completely made up.

I am going to end up spending my entire weekend auditing DOGE aren’t I?
And also, having to click the "savings" button... otherwise, it simply lists all the stuff in fpds canceled, renegotiated or not...
This entire project is to grift it on social media and cook the public. People keep repeating the lies and never the corrections
Also Elon never corrects anything because it's part of the plan

Have fun auditing DOGE!
It's been done by US newspapers, I believe -- check the New York Times.

The waves are going to be problems for YEARS.
And remember to take screenshots.
These losers are likely to start deleting stuff once they're caught.

Seriously, how many people even CAN?
Did that sound like encouragement? It was meant to be
As an American taxpayer, I want a line-by-line, item-by-item, cost-by-cost accounting.
And, guess what, MONSTER MUSK, we are SMART ENOUGH TO UNDERSTAND THE NUMBERS, you ASSHAT.
We want our BILLIONS BACK from all of YOUR GOV CONTRACTS; that’s where the FRAUD IS LOCATED.
But wasn’t DOGE’s budget doubled to $14 million last week? So they’ve spent $14 mil to save $8 mil?
They're hackers.
- accidentally fired air traffic controllers
- accidentally fired experts protecting our nuclear weapons
- accidentally fired USDA employees working to protect us from a bird flu epidemic
- don’t know the difference between $8M and $8B
And the price of groceries will go down
But at least the dicktator on Day 1 was correct.
There are also rumors that the DOGE team is costing $8 per day (haven't found confirmation yet).
The savings is unknown because we don’t know how much of the remaining $5.5m contract would have been used.
Many government offices help head off worse problems, which saves money in the long run.

Why do you hate our freedom?
And simply saying they canceled a contract worth X number of dollars does not equate to saving the government any dollars whatsoever. Who’s to say these contracts were not necessary or who’s to say the public will be harmed by not having these contracts? We just have […]
America is broken.
They really just make shit up
I can "cut" my vehicle's oil change expense by 100%, but how much will that "save" me?
It’s deliberate deceitful distraction from the #billionaire tax cuts that are bankrupting America!
Musk tweets it on X
The other one on truth social
Fox broadcasts it repeatedly
The rubes now believe it
And the total being wrong doesn't even matter, because they aren't forced to retract any of the hundreds of lies they've already told.
Why even bother to release the records. Clown car bullshit.
A bunch of high sch… ?

* The award linked by DOGE, now quite the amount claimed https://www.usaspending.gov/award/CONT_IDV_70CMSD22A00000008_7012 vs https://www.fpds.gov/common/jsp/LaunchWebPage.jsp?command=execute&requestid=239503551&version=1.5 (under the tab "This IDV" it shows $8m.

$55B în cuts claimed the DOGE website.
Nope, $2B is the number that’s right.
Confusing billion with million? Quite a laugh.
Like exploding SpaceX rockets. Bad math.

Creating confusion by throwing numbers around. Some wrong, some right.
No real way to audit as no one knows where his sticky fingers have really gotten into.
Literally robbing America and Americans on behalf of trump and Putin.

If you're going to become true DOGE ballers, then you've got to learn the five d's of DOGE ball:
dictator, dickhead, dimwits, deceive, and dictator
And Musk walks away a free man in no legal jeopardy.
Should I imply his hackers could be deleting evidence Musk misused funding?
Is it worth pointing out that the most obvious and largest example of wasteful government spending is subsidizing manned space travel to Mars?
*immigration judges are the exception, they're under the executive branch, not the judicial branch.
Its like how Trump can't issue an EO changing rules of Congress either.
