Musk Promised To Cut $2 Trillion. Government Spending Went Up Instead
Elon Musk's promises on government spending cuts have followed a predictable trajectory: slash $2 trillion, then $1 trillion, then a mere $150 billion. Now we have the final accounting from the Congressional Budget Office: DOGE didn't just fail to cut spending—it presided over spending increases that exceeded even pre-DOGE projections. The CBO's fiscal year 2025 report shows that despite all the performative cruelty, mass firings, and destruction of essential programs, total federal spending (excluding interest) rose by $220 billion, or 4%, for the entire fiscal year.
