    • Introducing: The Musk Watch DOGE Tracker
      New tool reveals Musk has overstated verified DOGE savings by at least 92%: The Musk Watch DOGE Tracker breaks down the purported savings into three categories:

      1. DOGE Claimed Total Savings ($105 billion)
        There is no relationship between this number and the actual data on the rest of the website.
      2. DOGE Itemized Savings ($29.9 billion)
        The lack of information means these savings cannot be verified.
      3. Verifiable Canceled Funding ($8.6 billion)
        Musk Watch calculates the savings by taking the “Current Award Amount,” and subtracting the “Obligated Amount.” This results in a significantly lower estimation of savings. Here is an example of an EPA contract with Endyna Inc that was canceled by DOGE:
        Endyna DOGE amounts
        DOGE takes the “Potential Award Amount” of $134 million and subtracts the “Obligated Amount” of $64.7 million and calculates a total savings of $69.3 million. Musk Watch substitutes the “Current Award Amount” — the actual value of the contract — and finds a more realistic savings of $5.4 million.

        This more accurate methodology reduces the total savings from the 4083 contracts canceled by DOGE from $14.9 billion to $8.1 billion.
