Almost 40% of the federal contracts being canceled by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), headed by billionaire Elon Musk, will save no money for the federal government due to them already being largely fulfilled, according to federal data.
"It's like confiscating used ammunition after it's been shot when there's nothing left in it. It doesn't accomplish any policy objective," Charles Tiefer, a retired University of Baltimore law professor, told the Associated Press. "Their terminating so many contracts pointlessly obviously doesn't accomplish anything for saving money."
