Weekend Warrior: Elon Musk Reveals How DOGE Is Cutting Billions In Spending Every Day


From Daily Wire.com (Feb. 2):

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) appears to have gotten off to a fast start during the first two weeks of President Donald Trump‘s second term.

Elon Musk, who leads DOGE, delivered a number of updates on his social media platform, X, on Friday and into the weekend about what it takes to cut government spending by billions of dollars a day.

He shared a post from DOGE that showed a list of more than 100 “DEI related contract cancellations” that resulted in more than $1 billion worth of “savings.”

Musk posted about cutting the federal deficit.

“Reducing the federal deficit from $2T to $1T in FY2026 requires cutting an average of ~$4B/day in projected 2026 spending from now to Sept 30,” Musk said in the original post. “That would still result in a ~$1T deficit, but economic growth should be able to match that number, which would mean no inflation in 2026. Super big deal.”

He later responded to the original post with updates.

“I am cautiously optimistic that we will reach the $4B/day FY2026 reduction this weekend,” Musk said. He added in a second post: “None of this would be possible without President @realDonaldTrump.”

With a third, Musk said: “Obviously, there will be EXTREME opposition from the grifters!! And they will make it sound like we’re cutting funding to save baby pandas when we’re actually cutting funding to fraudsters, wastrels & terrorists … This is only possible because of President @realDonaldTrump.” [read more]

Nice.  The Left are upset at Musk because President Trump's unelected man (Musk) and his team are going after their unelected bureaucracies.
