Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) have uncovered more instances of government waste, this time highlighting how private contractors exploited the government during the Biden administration.
Musk pointed to one case involving a simple 10-question survey about Americans’ use of national parks. A contractor was charged nearly $1 billion—almost a third of the department’s budget—for the survey.
Musk said the survey could have been conducted for about $10,000 using platforms like SurveyMonkey.
Musk didn’t hide his shock at the sheer scale of waste, telling Fox News, “We routinely encounter wastes of a billion dollars or more.” He then noted that there appeared to be no feedback loop to utilize the survey results, making it even more wasteful.
