Not keeping up?
The musketeers own web site got hacked within days.
Their code crashed the SS web site.
They can't tell what they're looking

Almost half of those line-item savings could
be attributed to a single $8 billion contract
for the Immigration and Customs Enforcement
agency. But the DOGE list vastly overstated
the actual value of that contract. A closer
scrutiny of a federal database shows that a
recent version of the contract was for
$8 million, not $8 billion.

But some of the biggest examples of allegedly
wasteful spending held up by Musk and DOGE so
far have been overblown or inaccurate. Musk’s
assertion that tens of millions of dead people
over 100 years old are receiving Social Security
benefits was so off-base that it had to be tamped
down by the agency’s acting head, who had been
promoted because of his willingness to cooperate
with DOGE. “These individuals are not necessarily
receiving benefits,” acting Social Security
commissioner Lee Dudek said.
AND - they've hardly found *any* so-called
savings

The Trump administration has already
spent $155 billion more than former
President Joe Biden did over the
same period of time after their
inaugurations, according to Treasury
Department data. And Elon Musk is
now claiming that his Department of
Government Efficiency has only
managed to save $150 billion.
You magats are a HOOT.
