which guy are you talking about? Not that it matters

That’s BS and the NYT knows it. When you add the costs of DOGE staffers salaries, and the cost to fix the mess Elon and DOGE have done, DOGE will have costs us Billions!

They need to show line item by line item the fraud, waste and abuse they found, what’s being done to hold the offenders accountable and how/to what the so-called savings will be applied.

Wreaking Infrastructure does not save Taxpayers Squat.

Remember, all the shit they try that the courts force them to walk back ends up costing us money. We pay the DOJ litigators to defend the shitty illegal action AND we pay for the courts to hear it and rule. Plus the added admin costs of stopping something than starting it up again

L

Why does the NYTs lend credence to this administration. When they repeat the claims of this gaggle of liars, they reinforce the falsehood. There was no “savings” from DOGE, anymore than cutting off your left leg means you lost weight.

I doubt it's ever taught in an intro accounting class, but anyone who follows business-related media should know it.

DOGE worked out just as good as his self-driving cars or his colony on mars. Yet soooo much more damage. Now hit the bricks!

Trump and Musk are Psychopaths. Trump and Musk cannot build friendships—only obedience. Fascism feeds on fear and silence. And in that silence, democracy withers. We’re ruled by cowardice in orbit around a void. We must understand this sickness. We must stop the madness now Refuse to comply

It will actually cost US tax-payers way more than what DOGE’s cost-killing actions assess it will save. Also, some things will never be assessed (indirect impacts) so I believe consequences will be way worse than estimated.

Elon achieved hacking into our Government Agency databases and stealing all our personal data. So there's that.

BREAKING: Musk clarifies that “saving 15%” refers to converting IRS refunds into DOGE and launching them into orbit. He also confirmed the audit bot is now bilingual: English and Grimes. #FiltheeNews #DOGEonomics #AltRealityUSA

Deduct all the collateral damage from it you get to nil savings, but a hell of extra costs. Loser. Go and run your Tesla stakes into total ruin.

If our taxes are going up, it saves us nothing.

What 15%???? Don't even publish numbers like this if you haven't validated them yourself. Don't give these incompetent fools even that

Elon and his DOGE Bros hacked into our Government Databases. They have a trove of our personal information. So there is that ...

At least he invented flying BS-fuelled cars. Introducing the Crap Truck. bsky.app/profile/saty...

At the same time, bond yields are rising making it more expensive for the US to service its debt which will wipe out much of this "savings"

He’s not going to do that either. What exactly is it that you do? We don’t need reporters or newspapers to mindlessly regurgitate the lies of rich people, literally anyone with a voice memo app can do that

Yeah, even 15% is inflated, and in fact, it will end up costing so much more taxpayer money to repair the damage that these senseless upheavals will cost us.

Way too high. No way 15%

Like it was ever about saving money.

The guy is a self-involved lunatic with zero social skills or any sense of reality for everyday people. Tesla's never coming back as long as he's associated with it. He showed the world he's not who we thought he was and you can't undo that.

And all those lawsuits are going to eat up a lot of that, plus whatever the multimillion dollar settlement for Mr. Garcia and others ends up being.

Surprise, surprise—Musk's budget cuts didn't deliver the promised savings, just like his Cybertruck revenue projections. Seems like the only thing getting cut is the truth. Time for some real accountability. #Accountability #Resist

Saving NOTHING so far ...

“Saved”? Fuck off @nytimes.com

Well, at least tens of thousands of lives have been ruined in the process…

The trauma ought to be free, no?

But if you add in the cost of doge 8 million his work did nothing but show the world he is a dumb Nazi fraud!

We all know that the court cases and the unemployment, Trumps Golfing, his doge high salaries not approved by congress, and we all know he is stupid and made a huge mess of everything and doesn’t have an understanding of everything the gov does to create the comfort in the USA. He never planned!

Let’s start at the core of Elons issue. Who does he care for….. Not the American people, not even the Republican Party, he cares for Elon and Elon alone. Narcissistic, power hungry, that’s it. I couldn’t be happier Tesla sales are down 71%. Let his decline continue.

By the time you factor in all the damage Trump/Musk/DOGE has cost; pay damages to numerous Federal employees & others wrongly fired; etc., they are inevitably going to cost we Taxpayers far more than anything they saved.

Why would you post a headline without them providing details? NYT is a propaganda rag on the level of North Korea State Media.

Truth. The IRS cuts alone are probably going to cost us billions.

So Musk lowballs the savings, Trump backs out, and taxpayers get stuck with broken promises and meme-coin math. Fifteen percent of fiction is still fiction. Accountability shouldn’t vanish just because the hype train runs out of steam.

By cutting 300+ million from basic services like medicaid, medicare, cancer research, social security and education. You could just increase the tax cuts on the 1% by 8% to offset that deficit

did they save a positive percentage or a negative percentage?

Also known as “incompetence.”

Terminating Contracts for the Convenience of the Government (T4C) also costs money, lots of it.

Wait till he gets stripped of his $50 billion dollar Tesla bonus.

Now suck up & Restore the govt agencies taken away. What an eff'n nightmare we've been thru because of fools. Agencies kept consumer's protected, edu children& col students thru student loans, cut off life saving help of food& med to the poor & famished, allowed us to have libraries and museums.

Tops. I warned him. You have to know the process before u can detect the Big drains. No, he said he figured it out. You do not send a plumber in to do a carpentry job. Musk is like Francis trying to plug gaping holes in Vatican finances. Such things r engineered. Patching is not a fix.

Ass wipe

So, he's working remotely now? I thought he hated the idea.

And the deficit is at record levels! We spent $157B more this year than last year already! And the billions of dollars and decades of effort invested in vetting and training all of this civil servants are still flushed down the toilet bipartisanpolicy.org/report/defic...

Donald Trump’s legitimacy is collapsing—just 45% overall, 36% among independents. What’s left isn’t leadership. It’s machinery: rule by decree, enforced by loyalty, greased by pay-to-play power. #Trump #Authoritarianism #Corruption #DemocracyUnderAttack #Polls

Firing workers and then having to hire them back too

It’s not going to “save” us anything. They’re only giving tax cuts to the ultra wealthy.

And that 15% he took in salary. So he saved nothing.

The real question is in the end, how much has all of this chaos cost, the firings and stop work actions, jobs lost, vital programs cut and cancelled, suits and countersuits. You can start by figuring out the unemployment costs that have piled up since these malfeasants took office

Who at they kidding? They over promised/under delivered, cost US taxpayers a boat load of $, a lot of people lost jobs, worsened service/wait times, lost a great deal of intellectual knowledge/capital, withdrew our international presence, & they’ve done all of this w/o Congressional approval.🤦🏻‍♀️

It was never about savings, but about dismantling the system.

I think his success can be measured in the number of criminal indictments that have been lodged against the fraudulent bureaucrats.

There is a reason for the reason.

Is it really 'savings' when all this shit is going to likely cost us more in the long run? Do better.

We all know he was scamming us from the start. Who knows what kind of backdoors they installed on those gov systems.

Maybe it's because the REAL premise behind DOGE was never to save us money but to consolidate power and ease the transition to fascism.

Is Trump and crew taking credit for the $10 trillion loss in value in the stock market?

What a loser

#Musk and #Trump are #Liars

And at what far larger cost? Do your job and state the damage done…

Interestingly, Musk’s 15% “savings” will translate to Americans having 85% fewer services. So the math does work.

Even that's misleading because it's just identifying costs supposedly avoided, and not factoring the costs his indiscriminate destruction of federal government capacity will have.

You get what u pay for.

How do everyone think Musk was working to save us money on fraud when he and Trump are the biggest fraudsters out there???????

The entire purpose was to steal data, which was successful . And to install back doors into every govt system to manipulate information to award themselves handouts.

You’ll pay 15% less. But at what cost, how many services that were depended on are now weaker?

and that's going to turn out to be yet another exaggeration

I actually think he didn't save us anything but cost us very dearly... he is such a jackass.

7.5%. Originally he said $2 trillion.

He hasn't saved a single penny! Quite the opposite. He, along with Trump and his associates, are tearing the American people apart economically, financially, politically, and humanly.

Hey, guess what @nytimes.com? He saved exactly zero dollars & damaged the whole world in the process. Write THAT story you goddamn cowards.

It was never about saving money. It was about firing the people at government agencies that were investigating him and stealing all Americans’ data. Most corrupt administration in US history.

Better headline: Musk doesn't know how to do what he lied about doing.

So... Not as much waste, fraud, and abuse as they thought? 🤔

Nazi boy hasn’t saved us shit.

State the whole truth. The #Trump Administration has spent more than the Biden Administration did last year.

great saved less than promised wrecked everything in the process then walked away and left it for someone else to unfuck Awesome work !

BBS through the tariffs the working class has the biggest Tax raise in History

And he’s wrong about that 15%, too. Additionally, cutting services that people need is not “savings” it’s a fire sale.

NYT’s, before the election Musk originally said the Trump admin would target cuts of $2T, which he’s now reduced to $150B. That would be 7.5% of the actual original pledge.

Another BULLSHIT headline from NYT. DOGE SAVED AMERICAN TAXPAYERS $0. All they did was waste $, cut people's jobs treat people like shit and cut services that will hurt Americans in many ways including making us FAR LESS SAFE ACROSS THE GLOBE. The NYT are nothing but cowards

AND the wait time for any government service is 10 times longer.

The idiotic manner in which Musk fired “ nonproductive” and “unnecessary” employees - by letting active personnel go en masse with no rhyme or reason- illustrates his incompetence. Friends who've already retired from govt are getting termination deal letters. Trump & Co. = a Three-ring circus.

Musk is totally incompetent. Who thought this guy was a genius? He's a con artist, using other people's money to buy other people's intellectual property. And the "other people's money" is the US taxpayer.

He left the government dismantled, many people dying, the economy in ruins, and a mountain of litigation and legal expenses, all while saving only 15% of what he promised. 🤡🤡

Competently incompetent

All media should demand Musk's proof of DOGE activities. WTH is the Democratic party ?

Trump can’t add.

MAGAts….They voted to hurt others, and now that its doubled back and they’re experiencing that hurt…are furious… Voting has consequences….

The best way to cut waste is to Cancel all STARLink contracts. Companies who contract with STARLink should reconsider now - it's going to go the say way Tesla did. #STARLinkTakeDown

You have an interesting definition of “savings.”

Duh! Of course firing people costs money! This does not even address what it will cost to fix the ramifications of them not doing their job. They were doing something for the American people that is not getting done now.

Must not have taught that class in genius school.

CONs 🙄

In a democracy, you get what you vote for. The Us should only look at himself.

If the public trust has any monetary value, Musk has cost the American people billions more than any savings he may have screwed out of the federal workforce. His arrogance is going to demand its price sooner or later.

There is little evidence of any fraud or corruption u covered. Only cruel and totally uninformed mindless chaos and eliminated of services Americans need

But at least kids will starve in Africa, millionaires will be able to dodge taxes, and we’ll rid our country of pesky scientists.

That 15% number stinks because it was pulled out of his ass!

Money talks. Bullshit walks. Keep walking

Elon’s ‘efficiency’ plan was simply the world’s most expensive unsubscribe button

Don’t trust Musk! He is not stepping far from government. Especially since he has easy access to Trump, to the administration and more importantly, to all government data, which is gold to him. He’s going into stealth mode. Expect more damage (giving info to ICE and privatizing Social Security).

Funny that the CEO of a few large companies doesn't comprehend re-organization costs that are often reported when a firm's said reorg results in RIFS. People think this guy's brilliant tho.

This clusterf*ck is gonna take forever to unravel! The biggest lesson for me is how goddamn incompetent these clowns really are - that they are so wealthy just proves that all they really know how to do is lie, cheat, and steal! What a disgrace they are!

I still paying taxes with less services where TF am I saving anything?

stop printing fucking lies in your headlines. he costed us billions in future revenue from IRS cuts. he never saved a fucking penny

DOGE IS MUSKY 🧵thread bsky.app/profile/edhi...

Hire all these people back and restore funding so our scientific research, community services, colleges and universities and our children will survive

So you can obviously infer it will be even less than that
