$72,000,000,000 Slashed by Elon Musk's DOGE? Here's Every Item Officially Gutted by Trump's Efficiency Squad

Elon Musk’s contentious Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), created by an executive order from President Trump, says it has slashed billions of dollars in spending.

However, to date the agency has not created a way for the public to easily view everything that has been gutted.

Late last month, DOGE said it’s saving about $1 billion per day and the US Debt Clock, which is not affiliated with the government, says DOGE has saved more than $72 billion at time of publishing.

$30 million – Termination of 12 consulting contracts in GSA and the Department of Education, including a $23 million work order for “digital modernization Program Management Office support”
$3 million – Termination of 12 underutilized lease cancellations
