DOGE’s Shocking $8 Billion Dollar Mistake Called Out

 https://www.thedailybeast.com/doges-shocking-8-billion-dollar-mistake-called-out/

Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency erroneously claimed a savings of $8 billion on a terminated contract this week that was actually worth just $8 million.

That gaffe isn’t the only head-scratching figure on DOGE’s site. Many, including the Times, noted that DOGE has been adding the full value of a contract into its total “savings” even if the majority of the contract had already been paid out and will not be recuperated.

DOGE also appears to be claiming credit for a pair of office closures that were announced when Joe Biden was still president. Those closures are the National Archives centers in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, and in Fairfield, Ohio. DOGE’s site claims the latter location was a “True Termination - Agency Closed Office.” No other details are offered.
