Nearly $1,000,000,000 of Elon Musk’s DOGE ‘savings’ mysteriously vanish overnight And The Reason Will Shock You

Elon Musk and his team have been making big claims about how much money they’ve supposedly saved the U.S. government through an effort called DOGE, short for the Department of Government Efficiency. But now, nearly a billion dollars of those so-called savings have mysteriously vanished from the DOGE website.

DOGE was created after Donald Trump returned to office and put Musk in charge of making government operations more efficient. Since then, the team behind DOGE has been saying they’ve saved huge amounts of money—at one point claiming they cut $65 billion in costs. They said this money was saved by canceling contracts and leases, selling off assets, stopping fraud and bad payments, cutting grants, reducing interest payments, and trimming down government programs and jobs.

But a lot of people have questioned these numbers. News outlets and watchdog groups have pointed out that DOGE’s accounting is full of errors, and that it’s nearly impossible to confirm whether the savings are real. The New York Post called their approach sloppy and even risky, especially since the group now has access to sensitive financial systems within the government.

ABC News also reported that verifying DOGE’s savings claims is nearly impossible, and many experts remain skeptical. Despite the public pressure for transparency, the DOGE website hadn’t been updated for weeks—from the end of March until mid-April. Then suddenly, nearly $1 billion disappeared from their reported total.

According to a report by NOTUS, on April 15, DOGE quietly removed around $962 million from its previous savings claims. They also changed hundreds of line items on the site, apparently adjusting the numbers to make some individual savings look bigger. There was no clear explanation given for the changes.

Even though DOGE still claims it has saved $155 billion, a closer look raises doubts. The site now says this works out to over $900 saved for every American taxpayer, but with all the quiet changes and lack of updates, people are starting to wonder how accurate any of it really is.

In addition to removing nearly a billion dollars in claimed savings, DOGE has also deleted nearly 650 grants and several contracts and leases from its website in the past few weeks. These deletions have raised even more questions about whether the savings were real to begin with.

The DOGE website also has something called the “Agency Efficiency Leaderboard” that ranks government departments by how much money they’ve saved. Right now, the Department of Health and Human Services is listed at the top, while the Department of Commerce is shown as having saved the least.

When people started criticizing DOGE and questioning the numbers, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt defended the effort. She said that people trying to stop or challenge DOGE are going against what the American public wants. But with major changes being made behind the scenes and a lack of clear explanations, many people are finding it hard to trust what they’re seeing.
