To commemorate Elon Musk’s last day as a special government employee, the White House assembled and published a list of “wins” credited to Musk and DOGE.
The list both overstates DOGE’s work and at times directly contradicts DOGE’s own accounting of its cuts by hundreds of millions of dollars, instead relying on data from an unofficial website tied to a betting company.
Many of the touted “wins” are about DOGE’s publicity, anticipated actions or efforts that federal judges have since overturned. One listed win at the Federal Trade Commission simply states, “No DOGE cuts found, but considered.”
