Budget Reality vs. Rhetoric: Federal Spending Rises Despite Musk’s Cost-Cutting Promises

Elon Musk has doubled down on promises to cut government spending by $1 trillion through eliminating “waste and fraud,” which would halve the federal deficit.

As head of the “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE), Musk claims they’ve saved $130 billion since Trump’s inauguration—about $2 billion daily, short of his promised $4 billion.

However, contrary to these claims, the U.S. Treasury is actually projected to spend 7.4% more in 2025 than during Biden’s final year. Fact-checking Musk’s assertions has become increasingly difficult as DOGE removed federal identification numbers from its website that would help identify specific contracts and grants.

Some claims on the DOGE website have been proven incorrect, most notably its largest claimed savings—a $1.9 trillion IT modernization contract that was actually canceled in November under the Biden administration, and according to federal records, no money was ever spent on this grant despite its authorization.

Samantha is wonderful. I was nervous about spending a chunk of money. I asked her to `hold my hand’ and walk me through making my purchase.  
She laughed and guided me through, step by step. She was so helpful in explaining everything...

Travis was amazing! I was having difficulty with a wire transfer of my life’s savings, and I was very worried that I might not be able to receive it all. My husband just passed away and I’ve been worried about these funds along with grieving for 8 months. As soon as I got connected with Travis, my concerns were immediately addressed and he put me at ease. The issue was resolved within days. He even called me back with updates to keep me in the loop about what was going on with the funds. I am so grateful for a customer representative like Travis. He really cares for his clients.

Sam was also very helpful! I called and was connected to Sam within 30 seconds. She helped me with a fee that was charged to my account. She had a great attitude and took care of the fee quickly.

    Outstanding quality and customer service. I first discovered Mike Maloney through his “Secrets of Money” video series. It was an excellent precious metals education. I was a financial advisor and it really helped me learn more about wealth protection. I used this knowledge to help protect my clients retirements. I purchase my precious metals through goldsilver.com. It is easy, fast and convenient. I also invested my IRA’s and utilize their excellent storage options. Bottom line, Mike and his team have earned my trust. I continue to invest in wealth protection and my own education. I give back and help others see the opportunities to invest in precious metals. Thank you.
