The left-wing tech publication Gizmodo may have jumped the gun on Wednesday when it called DOGE head Elon Musk a "fountain of lies" for saying that DOGE's numbers are all online.

That same day, DOGE launched its website at doge.gov with a complete breakdown of government agencies and the regulations they have imposed on the American people on a daily basis.doge x 

In fact, all the same information is on the DOGE X account, but now it is in both places so that the agency can be "maximally transparent" with the public.

The home page shows a live feed of the X account, while the "Unconstitutionality Index" page gives evidence that unelected bureaucrats have created 18.5 rules for each law passed by Congress.

More coming

Receipts for the "savings" DOGE has found will be posted on Friday, according to that page on the site.

“In fact, our actions… we post our actions to the DOGE Handle on X and to the Doge website,” DOGE’s leader, Elon Musk said during a press conference from the Oval Office on Tuesday. “So all of our actions are maximally transparent. In fact, I don’t think there’s been, I don’t know of a case where an organization has been more transparent than the DOGE organization.”

The department is also looking to hire tech professionals and others who want to "work long hours identifying/eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse,” according to another link on the site.

Analysts at Wolfe Research have estimated that DOGE could save $60 to $350 billion a year through its efforts.

Certainly, that is a lot of taxpayer money to stop wasting, but even the high-end estimate of $350 billion won't balance the current U.S. budget.

Still not enough, but better than nothing

Nor will it pay off the $36 trillion in debt that the U.S. has accrued, most of it in the last 100 years.

The estimates by Wolfe are far below Musk's late-January predictions that $4 billion a day would soon be cut.

This would add up to $1.5 trillion a year--much closer to the actual deficit.

Financial data on the U.S. Treasury website shows that the deficit in fiscal 2024 was $1.8 trillion.

DOGE's work has been incredible so far, but it's got a long way to go to achieve its lofty goals.
