CONTEXT
Musk claimed DOGE would cut $2 trillion from federal spending. Independent analysis puts actual verified savings at around $15 billion — less than 1% of the target. Musk has since walked the number back to $1 trillion, then lower. Much of the claimed savings involved firing federal workers whose jobs were later deemed essential.
