Summary:
Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has come under scrutiny again for making dubious claims about how much taxpayer money it has saved. Previously, watchdogs and journalists could fact-check DOGE’s numbers because they included enough identifying details. But after a series of reports exposed errors in its calculations, the group changed tactics—now omitting key details that would allow for easy verification. On March 2, DOGE claimed to have saved taxpayers $10 billion by cutting federal grants, but without specific information attached, those claims are much harder to fact-check. The New York Times did manage to find a loophole: DOGE briefly embedded grant identification numbers in its website code, allowing reporters to check the facts—and, once again, they found that the agency had made similar errors as in the past. A White House official defended the lack of transparency, saying the omissions were for "security purposes," but critics argue that they make government accountability even more difficult.

Key Points:

• DOGE, headed by Elon Musk, claims to have saved $10 billion by cutting 3,489 federal grants.
• Previously, the agency provided enough details for journalists to verify its numbers, but after reports exposed numerous errors, DOGE stopped including identifying information.
• A White House official claimed the omission was for "security purposes.”
• The New York Times found a workaround by accessing embedded grant ID numbers in DOGE’s source code, revealing more errors similar to past mistakes.
• The move raises concerns about government transparency, as critics argue that making errors harder to find undermines public accountability.

The big question here: Is this just about security, or is the agency deliberately making false claims harder to catch?
