Summary

DOGE announced on Monday the cancellation of several government contracts, claiming total savings of $16 billion.

However, nearly half of this amount was attributed to an $8 billion contract for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) that, upon review, was actually valued at $8 million.

Additionally, a larger reported savings figure of $55 billion lacked detailed documentation.

The ICE contract in question, with D&G Support Services, was intended to provide program and technical support for ICE’s Office of Diversity and Civil Rights.

    Full self driving is only like three years away bro!

    Please note, this comment is backwards and future proof, if you ask Tesla at any point in time this is always Musk’s answer

      “We got rid of the lidar sensors on our cars because they weren’t needed. Instead we zip tied some gopros to the front. Trust me. They’re just as good. You definitely won’t die.”

      Waymo has been functional for quite a while.

      We probably could have full self-driving cars if we give on the safety a little bit.

      I actually expect him to run this down our throats until we have FAA levels of catastrophe on the roads.

        Waymo has been functional and that’s the hilarious part. Musk just fucking sucks - he acquired a company with an immense head start and managed to somehow fall a decade behind the competition.
