The Ministry of Government Efficiency of Elon Musk no longer claims the honor of killing dozens of federal contracts The New York Times reported last week That they had already recovered.
The Times had identified 44 new life contracts, and 43 of them could still be seen on the online ‘Wall of Vouchers’ of the group from last week. Subsequently, late on Sunday, Mr. Musk’s group removed those claims for 31 of the contracts of her website, which eliminates $ 122 million of the savings that it claimed to have reached by reducing federal contracts.
Those savings actually had disappeared days or weeks In the past, when federal agencies reversed cancellations that they had made on behalf of Mr. Musk’s group. A new life -in -life contract, of which Doge said it was worth $ 108 million, was restored after eight days by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Mr. Musk’s group still mentioned it for two months ‘ended’.
The presence of New Life Blown in contracts on the list of “termination” of Doge was the last in a series of Data errors They have blown up his success to save money. In the past, the group has removed other errors from his site “Wall of Vouchers” site after new reports have established that they were Double counting the same cancellations or claiming credit for killing contracts that were terminated decades earlier.
On Sunday evening, Mr. Musk’s group also added more than 800 new contracts terminated and increased its general savings estimate – over all government activities, not just contracts – to $ 170 billion of $ 165 billion. The group has not removed all contracts identified by time. It left 12 on the site and still claimed that the termination of these taxpayers had saved $ 121 million.
Harrison Fields, a spokesperson for the White House, said the webpage would be updated. He defended Mr. Musk’s group in a statement: “Doge works at record speed to reduce waste, fraud and abuse, producing historical savings for the American people.”
