Musk cost-cutting targets agencies disliked by conservatives, not
major budget contributors
DOGE claims $37.69 billion savings to date - a fraction of its $2

Project 2025 report, including Education Department
CEO Elon Musk and President Donald Trump to cut waste from government
agencies appears driven more by an ideological assault on federal
agencies long hated by conservatives than a good-faith effort to save
taxpayer dollars, according to two veteran Republican budget experts.
