40% will produce no savings.
60% may or may not produce savings depending on how the contracts are wound down. (And of those at least 50% won't result in the savings currently claimed by DOGE.)

They're not telling lies...I want change...America voted for this change...I'm super patient...you should be the same...
“Guess work?”
Chain sawing people indiscriminately without consideration for their merit is now “guess work?” More like idiocy, which is why in some cases he has had to immediately call some of the people back

I think it's absolutely successful...change is happening...I'm not sure why you think he's not accomplishing anything...
There is change...there will be more change...This kind of change is good...and necessary...
According to AP news soy reporter from Iowa.
Didn't that fake news shit show just get shown the press room door at the white house?

Ah, simple math if you believe Musk, as I noted, he has already been caught greatly overblowing his numbers way out of proportion, and considering he is cutting indiscriminately, the loss of good employees will cost more in the end
There are "good" dead weight employees?
That not withstanding it doesn't matter. If they are working in an agency that is over staffed, underworked and not necessary they can go be good employees somewhere else. Good employees always find work.
I believe you are missing the fact that Musk is chain sawing jobs injudiciously, indiscriminately, with no consideration of merit or value, the Nuclear Security Administration is the best example where he fired 300 employees and then had to rehire most of them.
Easy to just cut jobs, but no private business would ever go about it be way Musk/Trump is, it’s idiocy
Of course there is, in any entity, but you solve nothing by just cutting jobs at random, a set percent of everyone, no private business would do the same, it is counter productive in the end

Once again the federal govt is a fat fucking sow which you retards have been feeding for years.
Claiming to cancel a contract that ended last year is a lie.
Would it be a lie if I claimed to have cancelled a government contract that ended last year? Can I say that I have saved as much money as DOGE with those contracts. In fact, I am more efficient that DOGE when it comes to the savings on those contracts since I cost nothing. You should be praising my work since I cancelled all those contracts that ended last year.

I do not believe that he's chainsawing...the corrections have been made in a timely fashion
..it's a huge endeavor...you just don't like Elon...or
the President...I understand... As I said
I voted for change and i'm happy to see that that's going to Happen.
According to the story "slightly more than 1/3"... So it is more than 60%... Probably closer to 65%. I said it before. I like those odds.
You didn't read the story.

Worthwhile contracts and projects will be fine....

Ummm yeah, it's not a secret. The butthurt AP did no investigative work.“Nearly 40% of contracts canceled by Musk’s DOGE are expected to produce no savings”
“Nearly 40% of the federal contracts that President Donald Trump’s administration claims to have canceled as part of its signature cost-cutting program aren’t expected to save the government any money, the administration’s own data shows.”
“The Department of Government Efficiency, run by Trump adviser Elon Musk, published an updated list Monday”
“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,” said Charles Tiefer, an expert on government contracting law. “Their terminating so many contracts pointlessly obviously doesn’t accomplish anything for saving money.”

And seeing that figure is coming from Musk himself, given his already busted “reporting”, it is probably more like 85% to 90%
Keep the popcorn popping
"The Department of Government Efficiency, run by Trump adviser Elon Musk, published an updated list Monday of nearly 2,300 contracts that agencies terminated in recent weeks across the federal government. Data published on DOGE’s “Wall of Receipts” shows that more than one-third of the contract cancellations, 794 in all, are expected to yield no savings."
