The Doge van Elon Musk revealed on Tuesday that President Donald Trump saved taxpayers in less than a month no less than $ 55 billion.
It said that the savings were found by a combination of detecting and removing fraud, canceling contracts and lease contracts and selling assets.
The group – nicknamed the 'nerd army' – also ended subsidies, dismissed federal employees, changed some programs and saved money with reforms of the regulations.
'Doge's total estimated savings are $ 55 billion', read a message on the official doge.GOV website, which quotes data since 17 February.
It said that users of the website could expect updates twice a week and promise extra updates and improvements over time.
The listed savings were mainly found within the US Agency for International Development (USAID), the Ministry of Education, the Office of Personnel Management, the Ministry of Health and Human Services and the Department of Agriculture, according to the website.
Savings on the website contain a million dollars in canceled contacts for diversity, shares and inclusion training and canceled subscriptions for Politico Pro and other news organizations.

“In his role as a senior adviser to the president, Mr. Musk has no greater authority than other senior advisers of the White House,” the court noted, adding that he “had no actual or formal authority” to make government decisions himself.
Trump has endorsed Musk's work as a result of his election mandate to reduce government spending and to reduce the federal workforce.
“We have been chosen to find all this fraud, abuse, all these terrible things,” he told reporters in the Oval Office last week.
