DOGE: Elon Musk terminates additional 80 wasteful contracts worth $203.6bn

Published on April 02, 2025 at 06:36 PM

Billionaire Elon Musk, who leads the Department of Government Efficiency, DOGE, has announced the termination of a further 80 wasteful contracts worth $203.6 million.

DOGE disclosed this in a statement released on its X account on Wednesday.

According to DOGE, among the cancelled contracts is a $2.1 million State Department management consulting contract for senior advisers in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The US agency noted that the cancellations have resulted in savings of $139.1 million for the country.

“Agencies terminated 80 wasteful contracts today with a ceiling value of $203.6M and savings of $139.1M, including a $2.1M @StateDept management consulting contract for a ‘senior advisor in the Democratic Republic of Congo,’” DOGE stated on X.

In a more recent development, DOGE highlighted that the US Veterans Affairs Department’s $380,000 monthly payment for website modifications has now been handled internally by the department’s software engineer at no additional cost.

“VA was previously paying ~$380,000/month for minor website modifications. That contract has not been renewed, and the same work is now being executed by one internal VA software engineer, spending ~10 hours/week,” DOGE stated.

DAILY POST reports that DOGE, established primarily to reduce the cost of governance in the US, has saved American taxpayers $130 billion—equating to $807.45 per taxpayer.
