Elon Musk: DOGE stopped between $100 and $200 billion worth of yearly zombie payments.

“We were somewhat successful with DOGE. We stopped a lot of funding that really just made no sense, that was just entirely wasteful. For example, there was like probably $100, maybe $200 billion worth of zombie payments per year. We stopped it simply by enforcing that there be a payment code, and an explanation for the payment, otherwise the payment would not go out. We've made that change to the main Treasury computer and a bunch of other computers.

It seems like insanely obvious. But there are just call it 2% or 3% of government payments that go out that really should not be going out. And it's actually quite hard to stop. It's a pretty rare individual that would ask the government to stop sending them money.”
