US: Elon Musk’s led DOGE terminates 63 wasteful contracts worth $124million

Elon Musk, who leads the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has announced the cancellation of 63 wasteful government contracts. These contracts were worth a total of $124 million.

The announcement was made through a post on DOGE’s official X (formerly Twitter) account on Saturday. According to the post, some of the cancelled contracts included a $1.25 million deal for the Department of Health and Human Services to manage Google Ads, and another $1.9 million contract with the State Department for advisory services in Palau, a small island country in Micronesia.

By ending these contracts, the agency says it has helped save the U.S. $39 million. This move is part of DOGE’s ongoing effort to cut down on unnecessary government spending.

This announcement comes just two days after DOGE cancelled another 47 contracts worth about $87.5 million.

DOGE continues to review and remove deals that are considered wasteful, aiming to make the government more efficient and save taxpayer money.
