A government watchdog report found that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), initially led by Elon Musk, overstated its savings and took credit for work already underway. The Government Accountability Office audit, requested by Sens. Gary Peters (D-MI) and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), examined $110 billion of DOGE's claimed $215 billion in savings. It found that 108 of 264 leases were already in termination process before DOGE's existence, nearly 2,000 contracts were not actually terminated, and $27.4 billion in claimed savings came from contracts never terminated. DOGE did not respond to GAO's inquiries.
