Summary
DOGE announced on Monday the cancellation of several government contracts, claiming total savings of $16 billion.
However, nearly half of this amount was attributed to an $8 billion contract for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) that, upon review, was actually valued at $8 million.
Additionally, a larger reported savings figure of $55 billion lacked detailed documentation.
The ICE contract in question, with D&G Support Services, was intended to provide program and technical support for ICE’s Office of Diversity and Civil Rights.
What’s the difference between 8 billion dollars and 8 million dollars?
Approximately 8 billion dollars.
That’s how they’re snookering people, because most don’t understand the size of these numbers. So its sounds like a lot even when they save a billion here and there but when we’re talking federal budget even that is basically nothing.
7.992 billion to be exact
You don’t understand. They’re calling it $8 billion because that’s how much it will take in four years to fix the problem cancelling the contract causes.
There will be no United States in 4 years if these terrorists aren’t stopped.
The United Blockchains of America.
DOGE is not meant to cut spending. It is to systemically root out opposition within the executive branch and promote the business interests of Trump, Musk, and their cadre.
This is a distraction to keep you occupied while they do something far worse.
And to be clear: they have access to the Treasury systems. That “something far worse” is a literal robbery - this is a classic smash and grab.
Don’t have to grab it when you own the vault
Good job guys! $8mil for a complete loss of soft power around the world and undue stress, pain and misery for all those you fired and stopped aid to. Congrats for being total pieces of human skinned garbage!
I saved so much money by cutting the gas, power, and water to my house! Can you believe the scam the previous owners were running by “paying utilities”?
All of that just to cut taxes for the rich.
All of that to fund a self-granted $400 million purchase of shitty falling apart Cybertrucks by the government.
That was under Biden, and the contract was cancelled before it was paid.
Elon Musk has lied about the output of his companies since his very first company, zip2
He does it because no one holds him fucking accountable.
Yeah, I’m not surprised based on some of my interactions with purported “business geniuses”, but it is quite sad just how utterly stupid people are that manage to have wealth and get taken in by a mere show of unearned confidence.
Worse than that, people throw fucking gobs of money at him when he does it
Confiscate Musk’s wealth and save about $450 billion
Elon Musk claims
That right there means that Elmo is lying. He always has, I’ve been saying this for years now.
Look back a decade, and look at all for his claims, it’s ALL a lie. Yet people keep lapping it up and claim he’s a hero for the world.
The guy, like Cheeto, is a compulsive liar. If he opens his mouth, assume he’s lying
But he’s a liar with money! Now let’s follow him around like starving dogs hoping for table scraps. Maybe he will pet one of us and drop something!
But he’s a liar with money!
Yup, that means that the part of the lie that benefits him WILL come true, and the part that never come true will have no impact on him or on his reputation.
Full self driving is only like three years away bro!
Please note, this comment is backwards and future proof, if you ask Tesla at any point in time this is always Musk’s answer
“We got rid of the lidar sensors on our cars because they weren’t needed. Instead we zip tied some gopros to the front. Trust me. They’re just as good. You definitely won’t die.”
Can they fire all of the CIA assassins soon? Can they be sure to do it in a way that makes them feel disgruntled?
They’re intentionally not touching law enforcement or anybody with guns.
Coup 101, keep your cops happy. This is why firing the nuclear cops was a bad idea and they tried reversing it immediately.
They’ll be needed to shoot
protestersdomestic terrorists once things get even more desperate in Trump’s third term.
How much could a banana possibly cost, $10?
TIL: Musk can’t do basic maths
We’d save a lot more than that of that fucker would just stop breathing.
What, they straight out lied? Who could have imagined such a thing?
I’m shocked that Elon would lie! /s
Whoopsie!
I bet it’ll be pretty difficult to tell people we saved 1000 times what the contract was worth…
Not spending money on the necessities is not saving money.
