With the Department Of Government Efficiency, Musk was supposed to be finding ways to reduce wasted expenses, cut back costs and fraud to save the American government, and in turn the American citizens, a lot of money.
Musk's initial target was $2trillion, but was quickly halved to $1trillion and then parred all the way down to $150billion recently.
NYTimes [paywall] ran a report that shows that due to the complete mishandling of the cuts i.e. firing people without knowing what they do, and subsequently having to try to rehire employees, the mass-firing and mass-rehiring is estimated to cost upwards of $135billion, in part due to the various lawsuits the White House now finds itself in due to firing staff without reason.
Add on top that the Internal Revenue Service, which lost over 1,000 employees in the cuts, is predicted to be collecting
$500billion less this year due to staffing issues, and you have a monumental waste of tax-payers money.
Someone good with numbers, in the public eye, really needs to work out what the first 100 days of Trump's reign has actually costs the USA and put that out there for the American people to digest!
