Keynote
Elon Musk’s Doge panel has launched its official website to track government spending cuts. The site publishes cost savings, receipts and savings scorecards to increase financial transparency.
Elon Musk’s Government Efficiency (DOGE), an advisory committee under President Donald Trump’s administration, has officially launched its website Doge.gov with the aim of providing public updates on government spending cuts and agency operations. The initiative is part of Mask’s broader efforts to streamline federal government operations and cut $2 trillion from its budget for the next four months.
Announcing February 13th, the website integrates federal agency information, posts cost-saving updates, highlighting regulatory inefficiencies. Additionally, the site will publish detailed cost reductions, receipts and overall savings scorecards by February 14th.
FOX Business Correspondent Charles Gasparino estimated that if Doge’s targets are met, US inflation could fall to 2%.
The site also features a government organization chart that consolidates over 16,000 offices, an overview of regulatory inefficiency, and an unconstitutional index that compares the proportion of regulations written by unelected officials with laws passed by Congress.
The Doge website plans to deploy a “Overall Saving Scorecard” and a breakdown of each cost reduction by Valentine’s Day. The goal is to provide taxpayers with a clearer picture of federal spending and a more structured approach to budget cuts.
While many US investors and crypto enthusiasts praised the website for transparency, some raised concerns about restrictions on access for users abroad. The website also received support from popular character George. George said rapid viewing provided more insight than mainstream media coverage.
Doge faces repulsion
Amidst these efforts, Doge has been at the heart of litigation and political backlash since its launch in November 2024. Critics argue that the panel’s access to sensitive financial data puts public trust at stake. Legal experts suggest that masks may violate at least three privacy laws: Section 6103 of the Federal Information Security Management Act, Privacy Act, and Internal Revenue Service Code.
Senator Elizabeth Warren has also spoken out for opposing Doge’s approach, labeling it as a “place of corruption.” She proposed an alternative plan to reduce wasteful government spending of $2 trillion over the next decade without damaging key programs or increasing middle class taxes. Warren also questioned potential conflicts of interest, given mask leaders at Tesla, SpaceX and other businesses receiving government contracts.
On February 8, a federal judge ruled against Doge’s access to the Treasury Department, which includes sensitive financial data from millions of Americans. Elon Musk criticized the decision as “absolutely crazy.”
