Story by Landon Mion • 1h
The Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, launched an "Agency Efficiency Leaderboard" early Tuesday morning, which shows which government agencies have saved the most in canceled contracts and other cost-cutting measures.
DOGE, led by billionaire Elon Musk, also a senior advisor to President Donald Trump, purports that its total estimated savings as of Monday are $65 billion.
The savings come from a "combination of fraud detection/deletion, contract/lease cancellations, contract/lease renegotiations, asset sales, grant cancellations, workforce reductions, programmatic changes, and regulatory savings," according to DOGE.
"We are working to upload all of this data in a digestible and fully transparent manner with clear assumptions, consistent with applicable rules and regulations," DOGE said on its website.
