Co-presidents Elon Musk, Donald Trump lying about savings from spending cuts

from #RolandMartinUnfiltered · host iHeartPodcasts

DOGE touted an $8 billion cost-saving measure on its website earlier this week, citing the cancellation of a technical support contract for ICE’s Office of Diversity and Civil Rights dating back to 2022, according to The New York Times. However, the contract’s value was later corrected to $8 million on Jan. 22, 2025. With only $2.5 million spent, the actual savings amount to $5.5 million. DOGE has since updated its site, now listing the savings at $8 million.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
