They did it by firing the people that make the government run as well as it does. So the real cost to this mess will be felt further down the line.
But did they? Destruction costs productivity. It takes time to recover from massive disruption.
Doesn’t seem to factor in the greater costs to be realized down the road from increased inefficiency. It will end up costing us more, no savings at all.
Hilarious
“I cut 90% of our accounting staff. This is how much we will save this year”
Fast forward 3 years. I had to hire them back in addition to very expensive public accountants in addition to SEC fines.
Elon is a short sighted dork who thinks business about lying and surviving on borrowed time while promising the next big flashy thing and never delivering.
He could never work in the non shit kicker corporate world
So it’s entirely possible that DOGE has actually increased expenses once you take all the unknown costs into account. Trump and Musk are truly masters of bureaucratic incompetence.
LIES! we need to fire whoever made these fake numbers up immediately! FAKE NEWS! Don Jr. should run these reports, only he can make daddy proud with truth numbers! He’ll even draw it in crayon so our god emperor can understand it! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER
This is based on numbers released by the trump administration and are very unlikely to be true. The real number will be much smaller.
In most cases those programs were there for a reason and had payback which is now gone. Where is the analysis that includes missed opportunity costs?
Not shocking at all if you pay attention.
That’s not shocking. It was clear they were cooking those numbers from the get go. Just browsing over the numbers they were self reporting found numerous errors.
Just paying people off is not saving money.
Didn’t they lose 27 billion to save that 1.4 billion, making their loss at 25 billion? They probably would have saved money by firing DOGE
Part of the con for the base.
how much did they cost? what is the net? A big failll, A BIG LIE
Now let’s dd up all the damage they did.
I’m curious. Where’s all that money we saved?
They did not save diddly squat. They CUT, and the damages incurred as a result cost much more.
The Partnership for Public Service, a nonpartisan group, estimated that DOGE’s actions would cost taxpayers $135 billion in 2025. Related to covering paid leave, rehiring costs, productivity loss, and more. This figure excludes lawsuit expenses and foregone IRS revenue.

They were searching out fraud and abuse of the system. Alas there is no fraud and abuse. If the office of government efficiency was real they would have had professional investigators carefully examine all the areas in question. What we got was a bunch of tech bros destroying what they touched and stole what data they came across for use in future illegal endeavors. Pardoning Of the January 6 prisoners was another example of not taking the time to actually investigate each one but they just blanket released hundreds of dangerous felons back on our streets.
Less than 0.1% of what they claimed they *would* “save”.
No shit. It’s a dog and pony show so they can do the biggest theft from Americans there’s ever been. Think of all the tax people paid already on services that have been destroyed.
And what did it cost?
How much did it cost to save that money?
“Shocking”
And that’s not talking about how much doge has coast us. While all the savings they claim is cuts from taking from the poorest.
Less than 5%? It was less than 0.1% and actually slides into NULL territory because DOGE actually ended up costing money.
They promised TWO TRILLION in savings and ended up INCREASING waste
“Saved” is definitely debatable. And we LOST so much revenue in taxes, in contracts (people in other countries left stranded by us after this will definitely not want to work with unstable governments again!), and there will be lawsuits about salaries and illegal firings. This was a massive fuck-up.
