Elon Musk’s DOGE Office: Budget Explosion and Billion-Dollar Claims!

Hold onto your wallets, because Elon Musk’s DOGE office just hit the financial gym and doubled its budget! From a modest $6.5 million to a whopping $14.4 million in just a few weeks, this task force is flexing its fiscal muscles. Originally launched by Trump to whittle down government waste, DOGE is shouting from the rooftops about saving the government a cool billion bucks per day.

In a surreal twist, this $14.4 million budget is still a fraction of what the former United States Digital Services had, which was a staggering $60 million. So much for making it rain taxpayer dollars! In under a month, DOGE has come out swinging, looking to trim the fat off agencies like USAID while eyeing the Treasury’s digital payments—basically the Fed’s treasure chest.

On their X page, DOGE boasts it’s saving the government big bucks by halting pointless hires and ditching unnecessary contracts like yesterday’s leftovers. They’ve canceled leases for buildings that are tighter than a drum and even funneled out those fancy consulting gigs that smell fishier than old takeout. They even axed 104 DEIA-related contracts, because less is more, right?

Their cuts are no joke, claiming they’ve swiped over $1 billion from the budget across 30 different agencies, from the FAA to the EPA. And guess what? The White House’s DOGE crew is only about 30 strong, filled with young go-getters who’ve likely swapped corporate suits for a more casual vibe. But fear not, Musk isn’t cashing in either; he’s doing this as a volunteer ‘special government employee’—talk about your unpaid internship!

Elon Musk’s DOGE office has hilariously increased its budget from $6.5 million to $14.4 million while claiming to save the government $1 billion daily. Launched to tackle federal waste, the task force has been active in trimming government expenses and even chopped 104 diversity contracts. With a tiny squad of around 30 staffers, this office is aiming for efficiency, but the budgetary gymnastics have raised eyebrows.
