Today from Alt NPS:

Elon updated DOGE website, claiming to have fixed the mistakes we all pointed out—haha. But instead of correcting them, he just added more false claims. He even inflated his so-called “savings” total from $55 billion to $65 billion, when in reality, the actual increase is only from $2 billion to $2.3 billion.

Even better? He’s counting fully paid-out contracts as “savings.” Essentially, he’s saying: Here, take the money, but you don’t need to do the work. So now free handouts count as cost-cutting? Bold strategy.

Data Entry Errors and Quiet Revisions
- $8 billion typo – A contract worth $8 million was mistakenly reported as $8 billion in savings.
- Triple-counted project – A USAID project worth $655 million was counted three times. Initially reported as nearly $2 billion in savings, now corrected to $18 million.
- Social Security contract mistake – Originally claimed $250 million in savings for a contract that wasn’t even canceled; later revised to $560,000 for ending a “Gender X” marker initiative.

Misleading and Incorrect Data
- Contracts counted as savings, despite not being canceled:
- $4 billion from the initial batch is still included, even though those contracts remain active.
- A $1.9 billion IRS contract was canceled but is still included in misleading ways.
- Misuse of “indefinite delivery” contracts and blanket purchase agreements – These act as lines of credit rather than fixed spending, but they were counted as savings anyway.
- Projected savings will shrink over time due to termination costs.

Incorrect Contract Links and Mismatches
- Small Business Administration error – A contract for a “Shuttered Venue Program” was wrongly linked to an unrelated research support agreement that was never canceled.
- NIH contract misrepresentation – Claimed savings from a $99 million contract, but the actual canceled contract was only $9.9 million, with under $1 million in savings.
- Health and Human Services mix-up – A $150 million savings claim was actually linked to an active $119,000 contract for refrigerated liquid gases, instead of the correct $1.4 million administrative contract.

Auditing is so easy, even a park ranger can do it. Share this to stop the spread of misinformation!
