Elon Musk is a well-known person who runs big companies like Tesla and SpaceX. He is now working with a group called DOGE. This group is trying to save money for the government by stopping contracts that they think are wasteful. Musk says they have saved billions of dollars already, but it’s hard to find the exact numbers. They have a website where they share information, but it has some empty spots. They claim to be very open about what they are doing. However, it's tricky to know what’s really going on. When contracts are stopped, it doesn’t always mean the government saves money. Sometimes they still have to pay for work that was already done. For example, they canceled a training contract, but it had already used up some of its money. Musk and President Trump want to end contracts that focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion. They say these may not be necessary. They believe this will save even more money. But some people think they are just stopping programs they do not like instead of stopping fraud or waste. Experts are looking into how much money they really saved. They found that some numbers reported by DOGE do not match up. There are questions about how they count savings, and many details are not clear. Even if DOGE saves some money, the government’s big expenses come from other places like healthcare and defense. These costs are huge, and it’s hard to change them. In the end, while Musk and his team say they’re making big changes, many details need to be understood better. Saving from contracts is just a small piece of the bigger spending puzzle of the government.
