How'd that work out?

"Did DOGE save money? Overall, DOGE fell well short of Musk's initial promise of $2 trillion in savings, as the project ran headfirst into the reality of a federal budget that is shaped largely by the needs of an aging population, the world's largest military, soaring healthcare spending and rising interest costs rather than the nefarious schemes of evildoers looking to rip off Uncle Sam or clock-watching bureaucrats counting the minutes until their retirements.

Before shutting down, DOGE claimed to have saved the federal government $215 billion " $1,335.40 per taxpayer! " but experts have questioned the claimed savings, with some concluding that DOGE actually cost the federal government money as agencies scrambled to deal with chaos and added expenses that include paying thousands of employees not to work.

The Trump administration has said that it does not plan to do a final accounting."
