How about this simple pattern --- if Musk says it, assume it's false until proven otherwise.

He promised $2T in savings from Doge. Actual savings are closer to $200B --- not including revenue lost by stupidity like slashing the IRS.

Overall effect --- practically nil. Government spending has actually increased about 6% over the same quarter last year.
