埃隆·马斯克曾承诺,他领导的政府效率部将削减2万亿美元联邦开支,并将其成果发布在一个“收据墙”网站上供所有人查看。
但美国政府问责局周四发布的一份报告显示,该网站公布的统计数据对部分节省金额估算有误,或未提供证据支撑相关主张。这家监督机构表示,需要更多透明度才能确定合同、拨款和租赁终止项目带来的实际节省金额。
这份GAO报告是最新一份质疑DOGE节省金额主张的分析,其数据远未达到马斯克最初的吹嘘目标。包括CNN在内的多家媒体也发现DOGE网站存在明显错误,该网站截至1月1日的最新更新显示,其估算的节省总额达2150亿美元,其中还包含“收据墙”列出的合同、租赁和拨款之外的节省项目。
DOGE是唐纳德·特朗普总统第二任期内全面改革联邦政府工作的关键推手。该部门向各联邦机构派驻工作人员,寻找削减开支的方法,包括终止各类项目和义务。
GAO审查了DOGE在2025年1月20日至7月7日期间在网站上公布的价值1100亿美元的合同、拨款和租赁项目。
值得注意的是,该监督机构发现,在264个被标识为终止的租赁项目中,有108个在DOGE于特朗普就职后不久成立之前就已经处于终止流程中。DOGE在租赁项目上的节省金额被高估了8000多万美元。
此外,DOGE在合同终止方面也未提供准确信息。GAO发现,网站上列出的合同中有一半以上要么并未终止,要么DOGE未提供足够信息来确定其状态。
部分声称节省的金额依据不明,例如国防部一份从未被终止的合同被声称节省了17亿美元,该机构表示。
另外,DOGE未提供足够细节来验证其用于计算96%拨款节省金额的方法,也未使用其声称的方法来计算大部分被报告为已终止合同的节省金额。
美国政府效率部官员未回应GAO要求提供更多信息的请求。DOGE项目原定于上月终止,但部分工作人员仍在为各联邦机构继续工作。
CNN已联系白宫寻求置评。
这份报告是由密歇根州民主党参议员加里·彼得斯和康涅狄格州民主党参议员理查德·布卢门撒尔提出要求的。他们抨击了DOGE以及特朗普政府削减联邦政府开支的举措。
“每个人都支持铲除联邦政府中的浪费、欺诈和滥用行为,但DOGE是一项草率且具有欺骗性的举措,它误导了美国民众,同时切实损害了政府为民众服务的能力,”彼得斯在一份声明中说道。
DOGE claims of saving $110 billion are incorrect and unreliable, watchdog says

Elon Musk promised his Department of Government Efficiency would slash $2 trillion in federal spending and post its accomplishments on a “Wall of Receipts” website for all to see.
But that published tally incorrectly estimated some savings or did not provide evidence to support some claims, according to a US Government Accountability Office report released Thursday. The watchdog agency said more transparency is needed to determine the actual savings from contract, grant and lease terminations.
The GAO report is the latest analysis to question DOGE’s savings claims, which fell far short of Musk’s initial boast. Several media organizations, including CNN, also found notable errors on DOGE’s site, which lists $215 billion in estimated savings through its last update on January 1 and includes savings beyond the “Wall of Receipts” list of contracts, leases and grants.
DOGE was a key player in President Donald Trump’s efforts to overhaul the federal government in his second term. It embedded staffers throughout federal agencies to look for ways to curtail spending, including by ending various programs and obligations.
The GAO looked at $110 billion worth of contracts, grants and leases that DOGE reported on the site between January 20, 2025 and July 7.
Notably, the watchdog agency found that 108 of the 264 leases identified for termination were already in the process of ending before DOGE was created shortly after Trump took office. DOGE overstated savings from leases by more than $80 million.
Also, DOGE did not provide accurate information on contract terminations. GAO found that more than half of contracts listed on the site were either not ended or DOGE did not provide enough information to determine their status.
The basis for some claimed savings — such as $1.7 billion on a Department of Defense contract that was never terminated — is unknown, the watchdog agency said.
Plus, DOGE did not provide enough details to verify its methodology used to determine 96% of grant savings, nor did it use its stated methodology to calculate the savings from a majority of contracts reported as terminated.
US DOGE Service officials did not respond to GAO’s requests for more information. The DOGE initiative was scheduled to sunset last month, though some of its staffers are continuing to work for various federal agencies.
CNN has reached out to the White House for comment.
The report was requested by Democratic Senators Gary Peters of Michigan and Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut. They bashed DOGE and the Trump administration’s efforts to slash the federal government.
“Everyone supports rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse in the federal government, but DOGE was a slapdash and deceptive effort that misled the American people while doing real damage to the government’s ability to serve them,” Peters said in a statement.
