Summary

Elon Musk’s DOGE, meant to cut waste, is under fire for high taxpayer-funded salaries.

DOGE staffers like Jeremy Lewin ($167K), Kyle Schutt ($195K), and Nate Cavanaugh ($120K) earn six figures, contradicting Musk’s claim that compensation is “zero.”

Despite DOGE boasting billions in savings, reports show exaggerations and corrections. The agency’s budget has hit $40 million, but funding sources remain unclear.

While DOGE was promised to be “maximum transparent,” spending details remain undisclosed, raising concerns about its true effectiveness.

      They have access to priceless, otherwise unobtainable, data with no ethics. They’ll unfortunately get paid one way or another.

    Saving money isn’t going to happen.

    The government will pay more to a company that will pay contractors less.

    All the bullshit about privatization streamlining anything is such a fucking joke.

    It’s just adding useless middle men who take a cut, but that’s how our economy is set up. Those middle men do zero work and make the most money. And they’re gonna do everything they can to keep it that way.

      Yeah, wish the news would say ‘claims is about waste’ instead of treating it as true.

    If the filthy rich know anything, it’s that quashing one’s personal morals takes money.
