The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) provided an update to one of the biggest scams uncovered by Elon Musk’s team on Wednesday evening.
DOGE says it has saved approximately $105 billion in a “combination of asset sales, contract/lease cancellations and renegotiations, fraud and improper payment deletion, grant cancellations, interest savings,” and other workforce reductions.
The Democrats are angry that DOGE is saving American taxpayers money, so they devised a scheme to stop Elon Musk and his team.
There are currently nearly a dozen lawsuits challenging DOGE over its authority, data access, and privacy laws.
There is also a secret resistance agreement between 14 states to conduct coordinated lawfare against DOGE and Elon Musk.
DOGE recently announced that it had already deactivated 200,000 government credit cards in 16 agencies.
However, there are a total of 4.6 million active credit cards/accounts!
On Wednesday night DOGE said the program to audit unused/unneeded credit cards has been expanded to 32 agencies!
“After 10 weeks, more than 500K cards have been de-activated,” DOGE said.
In March, Elon Musk said DOGE “found twice as many credit cards as there are humans. And these are cards with $10,000 per month limits! That’s a lot of money!”
“What’s the waste-to-fraud ratio? In my opinion, it’s 80% waste, 20% fraud,” Elon Musk said.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
DOGE raises the question
what the hell were the inspectors general doing?
Note in many cases, these are per/year savings and not just one time savings.
What were the inspector general’s doing? Pocket lining. Wouldn’t everybody if they could?
Don’t dodge the DOGE Dog’s disquisition to de-fund Democrats!
NO DECENT PERSON WOULD DO THAT!
Collecting a paycheck?
Don’t practice your alliteration on me!
HOORAY President TRUMP, Elon Musk, and the individuals at D.O.G.E.! Thank you.
and don’t forget “Congress” - which I remember learning somewhere in school was supposed to have oversight powers.
Elon will step away so he’s not the lightning rod and DOGE work will continue. Many threads being pulled and a huge ball of yarn remains.
There is also a secret resistance agreement between 14 states to conduct coordinated lawfare against DOGE and Elon Musk....
Isn’t this some kind of RICO arrangement?
…and the Republicans who oversee Government spending for decades just go along with the fraud…
Tagline! ;-P
Timely question. My buddy and I, both in our 80s, retired 20 years ago as Regional IGs in our organization. We asked each other the same question, what the hell have the IG offices been doing? Musk is doing exactly what they are in business to do.
The entire civilian fed bureaucracy needs be redone IMO. Saying in Italian, Scopa nuova, scopa bene. (New Boom Sweeps Clean).
I just an alliteration a-hole always announcing allusions of aardvarks!
Collecting their kickbacks?
Go, Elon!
Dear Lord, please protect him and the DOGE team.
BEST P/U truck on the road))
We have a 2002................
That is what it sounds like to me
The coordinated effort of 14 States to suppress DOGE by lawfare certainly sounds like RICO to me
Perhaps those same States think they can evade RICO classification somehow ?
