The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk, has launched an 'Agency Efficiency Leaderboard' showcasing $65 billion in savings from government agencies, primarily through cost-cutting measures such as contract cancellations and fraud detection. The leaderboard ranks agencies based on their savings, highlighting the Department of Education and others at the top. However, previous claims of savings have faced scrutiny, with discrepancies reported between the claimed and actual savings.
