Elon backtracked on DOGE savings goals from $1 trillion to $150 billion.
But watchdogs report only $12.6 billion in verifiable savings.
That represents just 0.173% of the U.S. federal budget for 2025.
We're losing vital government services for basically nothing in return.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.
