DOGE is Incompetent

Approximately 40% of the federal contracts that DOGE proudly canceled in an attempt to save money are actually not going to save the government any money at all. Shocking, I know. According to the administration’s own data, 417 of the contracts that were axed won’t result in any savings. 

Let’s not forget about those “receipts” that Elon Musk’s DOGE loves to flaunt. Turns out, many of them are not receipts at all, but rather agreements with vendors who may do future government work. So, essentially, they’re just setting up potential future spending, not actually saving anything in the present. Bravo, DOGE.

One glaring instance of his utter incompetence was the reckless cancellation of crucial Ebola prevention efforts. In a staggering display of disregard, Musk brazenly acknowledged that errors would occur, yet he had the audacity to assure the public that they would be swiftly rectified. The statement from the world’s richest man claiming that Ebola prevention had not been hindered by DOGE cuts was fiercely contested by experts in infectious diseases, underscoring the grave concern over his mismanagement.

“What Elon Musk said today was just categorically untrue,” Dr. Craig Spencer, a doctor and Ebola specialist who has himself survived the often fatal disease, told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow.

An anonymous USAID official even chimed in, revealing that while there was a waiver for Ebola, funds have never been reinstated. 

But wait, there’s more! Canceling these contracts doesn’t actually result in immediate savings, and in some cases, the government may not have even spent any money on them to begin with. So, the contracts that were supposed to improve government efficiency are now just adding to the growing list of issues with DOGE’s claims of cutting government waste. It’s like a never-ending cycle of bureaucratic nonsense.

DOGE’s attempts to save money are about as effective as trying to catch a unicorn. But hey, at least they’re consistent in their incompetence.
