Elon Musk told the press that the DODG agency has saved $55 billion.
Elon Musk, published on Monday a list of government contracts it has canceled, together amounting to about $16 billion
half of those line-item savings could be attributed to a single $8 billion contract for the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency.
Actually, The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agreement with D&G Support Services, was for $8 million, appropriated by congress, and $2.5 million of that has already been spent.
(For context, $8 billion is nearly the size of the entire budget of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.)
However, the so-called “wall of receipts” published on Musk’s DODG website only presents $16 billion. Now according to Elon Musk’s “brightest of the brightest” $16 billion, $55 billion, “it’s all the same”
