The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) rolled out its "Agency Efficiency Leaderboard" early Tuesday. The leaderboard tracks which government agencies have saved the most by canceling contracts and cutting costs.
DOGE, led by billionaire Elon Musk, claims total estimated savings hit $65 billion as of Monday. Musk, also a senior advisor to President Trump, has pushed aggressive cost-cutting measures.
The savings stem from fraud detection, contract cancellations, renegotiations, asset sales, and workforce reductions. DOGE says it also accounts for grant cancellations, program changes, and regulatory savings.
"We are working to upload all of this data in a digestible and fully transparent manner with clear assumptions, consistent with applicable rules and regulations," DOGE stated on its website.
Contracts listed on the leaderboard are sourced from the Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS). However, DOGE warns that final termination notices in FPDS can lag by up to a month.
"There may be discrepancies between FPDS and the posted numbers, the latter of which originate directly from the agency contracting officials," DOGE noted.
Leading the savings list are the Department of Education, General Services Administration, EPA, Department of Labor, and OPM. At the bottom are the State Department, NIH, Department of Transportation, Energy, and Commerce.
Last week, DOGE claimed $55 billion in savings. But reports revealed that nearly 40% of those contracts had already been fully obligated, meaning no actual savings. Bloomberg Law also found a major data error—an $8 billion contract was actually just $8 million.
