DOGE’s claim of $110 billion in savings was vastly inflated, Government Accountability Office says

When Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency launched its effort to slash federal spending last year, it also created a website to show how much money it said it was saving taxpayers.

A new review by the U.S. Government Accountability Office found the site's claim of $110 billion in taxpayer savings was vastly inflated and unreliable.
