The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) released the results of the first 80 hours of work, which is far behind schedule.

Odaily Planet Daily News The Department of U.S. Government Efficiency (DOGE) announced in an article on X on Friday that within 80 hours, the department canceled about $420 million worth of existing or upcoming government contracts, as well as two leases. According to BusinessInsider's calculations, this is equivalent to canceling contracts worth about $126 million per day. If the organization works at this rate for 530 days between January 20, 2025 and July 4, 2026, it will cancel about $67 billion in contracts each year. (Note: The U.S. DOGE Service Temporary Organization should be terminated on July 4, 2026.) This will eventually account for about 3% of Elon Musk's initial goal of cutting the federal budget by $2 trillion, or 7% of his goal of $1 trillion after the cuts. Currently, DOGE focuses on DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) contracts and idle buildings, but cannot directly change the federal budget without congressional approval.
