Top 5 Government Spending Practices Highlighted by Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)

  • A government agency created under Elon Musk’s leadership reported eliminating over $160 billion in improper federal expenditures across various departments during 2024.
  • This reduction followed a report by the U.S. Government Accountability Office showing $162 billion in improper payments mostly concentrated in five major programs.
  • DOGE also canceled over $233 million in diversity, equity, and inclusion grants, including 402 grants with agencies like the National Science Foundation and Institute of Museum and Library Services.
  • Musk stated such grants were "wasteful," while Senate DOGE Caucus Chairwoman Joni Ernst highlighted agencies awarding millions for projects like a $20 million Sesame Street program in Iraq.
  • These actions aim to increase federal spending oversight, promote merit-based systems, and set a goal of cutting $2 trillion in government waste.
