Elon Musk’s DOGE revealed Tuesday that President Donald Trump has saved taxpayers a staggering $55 billion in less than a month.
It said the savings were found through a combination of detecting and deleting fraud, canceling contracts and leases, and selling assets.
The group – nicknamed the ‘nerd army’ – also ended grants, fired federal employees, changed some programs, and saved money with regulatory reforms.
‘DOGE’s total estimated savings are $55 billion,’ read a message on the official doge.gov website, citing data since February 17.
It said users of the website could expect updates twice a week, promising additional information and improvements with time.
The savings were mostly made in the US Agency For International Development (USAID), the Department of Education, the Office of Personnel Management, the Department of Health and Human Services, and the Department of Agriculture.
Savings listed on the website features millions of dollars in canceled contracts for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) training as well as ending subscriptions for Politico and other news organizations.
Elon Musk and DOGE’s efforts to reduce government waste continue to capture the headlines as Democrats and government workers are protesting in the streets about the cuts.
