Elon Musk’s D.O.G.E discovers $4.7T Treasury payment code hidden in budget

Discovery of Untracked Spending: A $4.7 trillion issue in U.S. government spending was revealed by Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E), which found that nearly five trillion dollars in Treasury payments lacked mandatory identification codes, making them difficult to trace. The Treasury Access Symbol (TAS) is now required for tracking these payments.

Controversy and Savings Claims: D.O.G.E has reported over $55 billion in savings through various cost-cutting measures, but faces lawsuits from 14 states regarding data access. While some conservatives support D.O.G.E's efforts, others criticize its focus on smaller agencies rather than significant budget areas like defense and Social Security.
