This will probably get suppressed, but I don’t care. It’s time.

Elon Musk promised DOGE would save taxpayers $1 TRILLION. But, it actually just paved his path to become a trillionaire. Let’s follow the money.

• “Claimed savings”: Final DOGE claim was $214B saved. The independently verifiable amount was less than 5% of that, not including the actually costs.

Costs

• The firing-and-rehiring churn cost ~ $135B.
• Week one: 17 inspector generals fired who return $26 per $1 spent and catch the very things happening right now with the Trump family ventures, Elon’s ventures, AI, etc.
• They didn’t touch the $850B Pentagon budget that has never passed an audit.
• Also untouched were the $38B in government contracts flowing to Elon.
• Data privacy breaches by DOGE employees

And before you say that he worked for free, he did not have to file a financial disclosure because he “worked for free”. This looks more like a workaround.

Elon donated over $290M to Trump’s campaign. The morning Trump was sworn in, Musk’s companies faced $2.37B in legal exposure across 11 federal agencies.

Then he was handed power over those same agencies. Inside the first quarter, six of the regulators investigating Elon’s companies were cut, closed, or told to stand down.

So, he spent ~$290M to elect Trump and he left office with his cases dead and SpaceX ~$6B RICHER in NEW defense contracts.
That is not a Department of Government Efficiency.

And as someone who was on the inside when this all went down, the strategy behind finding these contracts was incredibly inefficient and just caused defense contractors, such as Booz Allen Hamilton, to merely change their name from consulting to technology. It merely caused word changes in contracts. Contracts that are bloated and should be cut, weren’t even looked at. And in the end, it cost tax payers exponentially more than it saved, including data privacy,

Just want to call out the reality of how Space X and this shady IPO even came about.
