Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency claimed to cut over 29,000 federal contracts and grants, but failed to deliver the promised $1 trillion in savings. A NYT investigation revealed many large claimed cuts, including supposed savings of $7.9 billion from Defense contracts, were false—those contracts are active. Out of 40 top claims, only 12 were verified as real savings, with most smaller cuts accounting for a tiny part of the federal budget. This raises serious questions about Musk’s group’s accuracy and transparency in their bold promises to reduce government spending. Will this erode trust in Musk’s claims?

No, just no. It really doesn't work like that. It is not a household economy. The money to build and maintain roads is CREATED by the government.
