Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency disclosed for the first time this week a snapshot of some of the government contracts it has canceled, claiming to have saved taxpayers about $55 billion.

By Wednesday morning, DOGE had updated its list to show $8 million in savings, though it did not acknowledge the error or explain how it might affect its calculation of total money saved, which remained unchanged. A loss of $8 billion in savings would represent nearly 15 percent of the total savings claimed by DOGE.

The Department of Government Efficiency, the federal cost-cutting initiative championed by Elon Musk, published on Monday a list of government contracts it has canceled, and the New York Times finds the DOGE list 'vastly overstated the actual intended value' of one contract for the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency.

Elon Musk says he “will check with the President” about an idea to issue refund checks from DOGE savings. Those checks could be as much as $5,000 per household if the department hits its $2 trillion savings goals.

National Nuclear Safety Administration: An employee at the agency—which oversees nuclear weapons in the U.S.—told NPR the agency would fire about 300 of the agency’s 1,800 staff, though the Trump administration is now reportedly trying to hire some of those employees back.

Thousands of layoffs could be coming at America's defense agencies after the Trump administration asked to see a list of probationary employees.

A federal judge denied an urgent request to temporarily block Elon Musk and DOGE from firing employees or accessing records from a half a dozen government agencies.

A collection of groups, including two government employee unions, the Center for Taxpayer Rights, and Main Street Alliance, filed an emergency lawsuit late Monday seeking to block DOGE from accessing tax records at the IRS.
