Elon Musk和政府效率部发布了第二批数据，列出了他们已经终止的联邦合同，作为他们的一部分非常危险的削减成本措施声称已经节省了650亿美元的联邦资金。
但合同和1.44亿美元的租约终止是该网站提供数字的唯一项目，因此无法核实DOGE总共削减了多少。
DOGE在网站上指出，他们正在努力提供实时数据，但由于联邦采购数据系统，目前数据存在滞后。
这些合同总共节省了96亿美元——这只是DOGE声称从其所谓的“欺诈检测/删除、合同/租赁取消、合同/租赁重新谈判、资产出售、拨款取消、劳动力减少、项目变更和监管节省的组合”中节省的650亿美元的一小部分。
周一晚间发布的新数据显示，DOGE声称已经终止的47个联邦部门和机构的联邦合同总数为2，299份，大约是上周发布的1，100多份终止合同的两倍。
周一的新增内容不包括更新DOGE的终止房地产租赁清单，因为最新数据显示，上周的金额为1.44亿美元。
该网站现在包括一个新的免责声明，在上周的新闻说，总督最大的声称储蓄合同是向下修正从80亿美元到800万美元。
“FPDS和公布的数字之间可能存在差异，后者直接来自机构合同官员。如果你想报告潜在的差异，请发送邮件至@DOGE X账户，”网站上写道。
没有公开披露显示DOGE的全部成本削减措施。
DOGE新发布的数据还删除了上周数据中声称已经终止的一些其他顶级合同，包括美国国际开发署的三项6.55亿美元的削减哥伦比亚广播公司新闻报道被错误地计算了三次。
与上周的数据类似，DOGE现在列出了近800份合同义务已经完全履行的合同，这意味着他们声称已经终止的合同中有34%实际上不会节省任何资金。
一名白宫官员告诉美国广播公司新闻，DOGE与各机构合作计算节省的费用，并与各机构内的具体单位和负责个别合同的合同官员直接联络。
该官员还表示，他们正在使用保守的方法来计算节省，因为他们从最高限额中减去了合同的义务美元。然而，对于许多合同来说，最高限额要比实际预期花费高得多。
“总督发现了大多数美国人从来不知道存在的浪费。这是一件好事。此外，这些合同中有许多也是自动续订的，所以DOGE正在防止未来税收被浪费在这些骗局上，”一名白宫官员告诉ABC新闻。
DOGE网站现在也根据DOGE自己对效率的计算对各机构的表现进行排名，在X上，表示允许公众看到“谁取得的进步最大或最小。”
在马斯克和白宫周三与内阁成员举行首次会议之前，所谓的“机构效率排行榜”目前将教育部、总务管理局和环境保护局列为节省资金最多的机构。
然而，该网站并没有解释什么样的削减被计入了节省，以及排名是按金额还是百分比。
该网站还提供了DOGE已经终止的一些合同的基本信息。
其中之一是人事管理办公室的合同，DOGE声称通过终止该合同节省了3.18亿美元，但很难追查该合同的目的，因为DOGE没有像它声称已终止的大多数其他合同那样包括该合同的收据。
根据DOGE的描述，该合同似乎已处于“预授标”提案请求阶段，旨在“为其当前和未来的招聘和品牌客户提供人力资源相关产品和服务”
另一个被终止的合同是国家卫生研究所与软件公司高级自动化技术的合同，DOGE声称已经从中节省了1.49亿美元，但DOGE的网站链接到了另一个国家卫生研究所租赁和维护冷藏气罐的合同，该合同的上限仅为118，832美元。
据报道，美国国家卫生研究院与先进自动化技术公司签订的合同，具有相同的合同ID，上限仅为140万美元，远远低于DOGE在其网站上宣传的1.49亿美元联邦采购数据.
同样受到质疑的还有涉及财务管理和IT公司Centennial Technologies的合同终止告诉纽约时报上周，在拜登政府的领导下，该合同实际上于去年秋天被取消，而不是由总督取消。
Centennial的首席执行官Mani Allu告诉《纽约时报》,政府缓慢移动的合同数据库直到本月才更新显示取消，使这一变化显得很新。
百年纪念的代表没有回应ABC新闻的评论请求。
联邦合同数据显示，自去年夏天签署该合同以来，没有为该合同支付任何款项。
马斯克曾表示，总督将成为“最大程度透明”他在周三的内阁会议上承诺将纠正任何错误。
“我们会犯错误。我们不会完美。但当我们犯了错误，我们会很快修复它，”马斯克说，并引用了DOGE如何在美国国际开发署内恢复埃博拉预防计划的例子。
马斯克还称赞了特朗普的内阁成员，称他们是“有史以来最好的内阁”。
特朗普在会上还称赞了马斯克和多吉的工作，回应说他们正在削减“盗窃和欺诈”，并表示“有很多欺诈行为，可能有些欺诈行为我们无法证明是欺诈。”
“但当你听到这些名字和这些钱的去向时，这是——这是一种耻辱，”特朗普说。
DOGE says it's now saved $65B in federal funds, but that's still impossible to verify
Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency have released their second batch of data listing the federal contracts they've terminated as part of theirbreakneck cost-cutting measures-- claiming that it's saved a total of $65 billion in federal funds.
But the contracts -- and $144 million in lease terminations -- are the only items the website provides numbers for, making it impossible to verify exactly what, and how much, DOGE has slashed in total.
DOGE, on the website, notes that they're working to provide real-time data, but that there's currently a lag in the data due to the federal procurement data system.
The contracts together account for $9.6 billion in savings -- only a fraction of the $65 billion total that DOGE claims to have saved from what it calls a "combination of fraud detection/deletion, contract/lease cancellations, contract/lease renegotiations, asset sales, grant cancellations, workforce reductions, programmatic changes, and regulatory savings."
The new data, posted overnight Monday, showed a total of 2,299 federal contracts across 47 federal departments and agencies that DOGE claims to have terminated, which is roughly double the number of more than 1,100 terminated contracts they had posted last week.
Monday's additions did not include an update to DOGE's list of terminated real estate leases, as the latest data shows the same amount of $144 million from last week.
The website now includes a new disclaimer, after last week's news that DOGE's largest claimed savings contract wasrevised downfrom $8 billion to $8 million.
"There may be discrepencies [sic] between FPDS and the posted numbers, the latter of which originate directly from the agency contracting officials. If you would like to report a potential discrepancy, please DM the @DOGE X account," the website reads.
There's no public disclosure that shows the entirety of DOGE's cost cutting measures.
DOGE's newly released data also dropped some of the other top contracts it claimed to have terminated in its data from last week, including three $655 million cuts at the U.S. Agency for International Development, whichCBS News reportedwere erroneously counted three times.
Similar to last week's data, DOGE now lists nearly 800 contracts where contract obligations have already been fully delivered -- meaning 34% of the contracts they claimed to have terminated will not actually result in saving any money.
A White House official told ABC News that DOGE works with agencies to compute the savings and has been liaising directly with specific units within agencies and with contracting officers who are responsible for the individual contracts.
The official also said they're using a conservative methodology of calculating savings because they're subtracting the contracts' obligated dollars from the ceiling amounts. However, for many contracts the ceiling dollars are much higher than what is actually expected to be spent.
"DOGE is identifying waste that most Americans never knew existed. That is a good thing. Also, many of these contracts were also on auto-renew -- so DOGE is preventing tax dollars from being wasted on these scams in the future," a White House official told ABC News.
The DOGE website now also ranks how agencies are doing according to DOGE's own calculations of efficiency -- which Musk,on X, said allows the public see "who is making the most or least progress."
The so-called "Agency Efficiency Leaderboard," which came ahead of Musk and the White House's first meeting with cabinet members Wednesday, currently ranks the Education Department, the General Services Administration and the Environmental Protection Agency as having saved the most amount of money.
The website, however, does not explain what cuts are being counted toward the savings and whether the rankings are by dollar amount or percentage.
The site also provides only rudimentary information about some of the contracts DOGE has terminated.
One of them is an Office of Personnel Management contract that DOGE claims to have saved $318 million by terminating, but it's difficult to trace what the contract was for because DOGE did not include a receipt for the contract like it has with most other contracts it claims to have terminated.
Based on DOGE's description, the contract appears to have been at a "pre-award" proposal request stage, for providing "human resources related products and services to their current and future Recruitment and Branding clients."
Another top terminated contract is a National Institute of Health contract to software company Advanced Automation Technologies from which DOGE claims to have saved $149 million, but DOGE's website linked to a different NIH contract for leasing and maintaining refrigerated gas tanks, which was capped at just $118,832.
NIH's contract with Advanced Automation Technologies, with the same contract ID, is capped at just $1.4 million, which is nowhere near the $149 million figure DOGE has touted on its website, according tofederal procurement data.
Also being called into question is a contract termination involving the financial management and IT company Centennial Technologies, whotold the New York Timeslast week that the contract was actually canceled last fall, under the Biden administration, and was not canceled by DOGE.
Centennial's CEO Mani Allu told the New York Times that the government's slow-moving contracts database had not been updated to show the cancellation until this month, making the change appear new.
Representatives for Centennial did not respond to a request from comment from ABC News.
Federal contract data shows that no money has been obligated for this contract since last summer when it was signed.
Musk, who has said DOGE will be "maximally transparent," pledged during Wednesday's cabinet meeting to fix any mistakes.
"We will make mistakes. We won't be perfect. But when we make mistakes, we'll fix it very quickly," Musk said, citing an example of how DOGE restored an Ebola prevention program within USAID.
Musk also praised Trump's cabinet members, calling them the "best cabinet ever."
Trump at the meeting also praised Musk and DOGE's work, echoing that they're cutting "theft and fraud" and saying there's "a lot of fraud and probably some fraud that we're not going to be able to prove is fraud."
"But when you hear the names and the places where this money's going, it's -- it's a disgrace," Trump said.
