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.
The department listed contracts that have been posted publicly by the Federal Procurement Data System, or FPDS, but DOGE emphasized that the FPDS posting of final termination notices can have up to a one-month lag.
“There may be discrepencies between FPDS and the posted numbers, the latter of which originate directly from the agency contracting officials,” DOGE said.
