"The farce that was DOGE made claims of heavy savings and government efficiency. That wasn't the case in reality. The New York Times examined the claims, which were exaggerations, error-prone, and a waste of time. Mr. Musk had said that DOGE would be "the most transparent organization in government ever," and that it would bring the precision of the tech world to government. Instead, the group became opaque, with its lack of progress obscured by errors, redactions and indecipherable accounting that few private businesses would accept."

DOGE claimed large savings and improved government efficiency but delivered little in reality. The program's assertions proved exaggerated and error-prone, producing minimal measurable progress and wasting time. Promises of unparalleled transparency and tech-style precision in governance went unmet. The organization grew opaque, with progress hidden by frequent errors, redactions, and accounting practices that were indecipherable. Those accounting and transparency failures would be unacceptable to most private businesses and undermined the credibility of the efficiency claims.
