They haven't found any yet. All they have found is spending they object to for partisan reasons.
The pigs at the trough are not in the civil service, they are corporations with sweetheart government contracts. DOGE is no threat to their swill supply.
Elon Musk Has Conflict of Interest at Over 70% of DOGE’s Targets
Washington, D.C. — A new report from Public Citizen finds that, as Elon Musk reportedly prepares to step back from his governmental role, he has had a direct business interest in over 70 percent of the agencies and departments targeted by DOGE since its inception. The report maps out the entities DOGE has targeted and identifies which ones carry a known conflict of interest for Elon Musk’s business entanglements.
“It should alarm every American that the wealthiest man in the world has spent the last several months dismantling the same departments and agencies tasked with regulating his businesses,” said Elizabeth Beavers, director of Public Citizen’s Congress Watch. “Musk’s role as the most powerful person in government makes it highly unlikely that any regulator will crack down on his corporations and surely will make agency leaders look more favorably at Musk companies as potential government contractors.”
Top findings from the report include:
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau: A partnership between Musk’s X and Visa is already in the works to establish payment processing services within the app. If X became a payment processor, it would be regulated by the CFPB, calling into question why exactly DOGE attempted to shut down a bureau protecting Americans from financial fraud.

- Department of Defense: SpaceX is a major defense contractor, with about $22 billion in government contracts across different agencies, including DOD. Notably, DOD was not an agency targeted by DOGE for extensive cuts (despite the fact that it has never passed an audit) — nearly all potential cuts identified were in diversity, equity and inclusion programming.
- National Highway Traffic Safety Administration: An email laying off agency employees — which multiple employees described as initiated by DOGE — resulted in a 4 percent staff reduction in a single day and a 10 percent decline in staffing since Trump took office. NHTSA is the agency that oversees autonomous cars like the ones sold by Musk’s Tesla.
- Food and Drug Administration: DOGE initiatives reportedly resulted in the firing of around 1,000 FDA employees early in 2025 before RFK Jr. took over HHS and initiated even more firings. The FDA has direct regulatory authority over Musk’s Neuralink company’s brain implant technologies, and Musk must get the FDA’s approval for Neuralink to take certain steps that are necessary to develop the brain implant device for medical use.

Hey, dipshit!
Angry Trump Kills “Woke” Program—and Accidentally Screws MAGA Voters
It’s called the Digital Equity Act. That word—“equity”—caught the White House’s attention. So now Trump is moving to nix funding—but it could cut off millions destined for red America
.It’s called the Digital Equity Act. That word—“equity”—caught the White House’s attention. So now Trump is moving to nix funding—but it could cut off millions destined for red America.
The other day, during his intensive daily reading of complex policy papers, President Donald Trump noticed that a government initiative created by his predecessor had the word “equity” in its title. Naturally, this caught his attention. As he appeared to conclude, this could only mean the initiative was designed to help undeserving minorities.
Except there’s a problem here. The program in question, the Digital Equity Act, contained huge amounts of money for governments in GOP-run states, as well as Democratic ones, to expand high-speed internet access in underserved communities—very much including red states’ rural areas.
What’s more, every red state government had submitted proposals designed to garner their states large amounts of this funding. These proposals were explicitly designed by these GOP governments partly to serve their states’ rural areas.
While much of that money has already been approved, large sums still have not, according to the office of Senator Patty Murray, who is monitoring these expenditures as ranking Democrat on the Appropriations Committee. With Trump moving to block these funds, these states now could be denied some or possibly all of that money, Murray’s office says.

Hey, dipshit!
Trump Calls for 20,000 Extra Officers to Help With Deportation Efforts
Someone gotta pay to round'em up and ship'em out!
The order, which would use state and local officers, among others, would represent an enormous expansion of immigration enforcement. But it is unclear how it would be paid for.

The Decline and Fall of Elon Musk
The Tesla innovator becomes the latest government employee to lose his job.
“Fuck you! Fuck you! Fuck you!”
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was shouting at Elon Musk in the halls of the West Wing last month, loud enough for Donald Trump to hear and in a language that he could certainly understand. Bessent and Musk were fighting over which of them should choose the next IRS leader—and, implicitly, over Musk’s bureaucracy-be-damned crusade. Without securing the Treasury chief’s sign-off, Musk had pushed through his own pick for the job. Bessent was, quite obviously, not having it.

wonder how doge is going to scrutinize the acceptance of the qatar jumbo jet and the cost to make it not a secure aircraft? maybe they should recommend bill the trump library for all of the upgrades, security work, etc... that way the american taxpayer isn't stuck with the bill (again). let's see, there is the weekend golf get aways, oh, and the june 14th parade... just so much efficiency

Elmo kept hidden and his mouth shut. That's because he knows there's no genocide happening and is too much of a pussy to face the SA President.

Same with “trans.” So, many programs and research may have gotten nixed because trans was part of a word, like transmission, neurotransmitter, transportation, etc… So, indiscriminate chain saw run amok. Well done DOGE and AI, well done.Hey, dipshit!

Federal spending is up compared to the same time last year under President Biden.
What the fuck is wrong with you?

Lol, the WH and Congress are just now beginning to draft legislation to codify the cuts.
But dipshits like you, who don't pay attention in class, must have missed it
And of course we've all seen the VERY POOR ultimate success rate of the legal challenges against Trump's EO's you were positive were going to prevail...
Like this one
But you do you and continue to believe in nonsense.

You just admitted that I am right while calling me a dipshit. How Derpy of you.
Why have you been to chickenshit to back your retarded position that trump isn't increasing military spending?
Because you're a cowardly piece of shit, Derpy. That's why.
