Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency deleted over 30 different government contracts from its website’s “Wall of Receipts” this week after a New York Times investigation found them to still be active.

The Times found 44 contracts that DOGE had claimed to end, but were still active.

The 44 contracts accounted for some $220 million of federal spending Musk’s team claimed it had saved.

In late April, the Partnership for Public Service (PSP) found that from the $160 billion DOGE had claimed to save the federal government, some additional $130 billion would need to be spent for paid leave, re-hiring mistakenly fired workers, and lost productivity.

    Elon Musk is a Nazi, a stock-tanking business man, and he’s also horrible at government “service”.

    So, because of him, the people are getting less, many are left without jobs, services are gutted, and… we’re not saving so much money after all.

    The ceaseless failures of Nazi Elon Musk are truly remarkable.

      At this point you can’t just put all the blame on Muskrat

      The American government and all its supporters are complicit in handing over the keys to the government car to an idiot teenager with a Hitler fetish.

        It’s obvious, right?

        In exchange for amplifying the right on Twitter and bankrolling Trump with cash, the GOP allowed Musk to eliminate the government agencies that were investigating him for his shitty business practices.

          Eh, they’ll just become part of the background noise in the US, but South Africa being rid of them might improve things over there.

          That’s the point…they aren’t citizens, they are employees who will be trained in warfare.

        trump is quite easy to convince, he probably reminds trump he has to pay back the almost 300mil he spent on him.
