Billionaire Elon Musk says his campaign to fire tens of thousands of federal workers and cancel government contracts is in the name of rooting out fraud and waste.

His Doge Group has posted what it calls a wall of receipts on its website that claims it has saved billions by cutting certain federal contracts.

But reports and government documents prove that many of these so-called savings

are either misleading or incorrect. Our White House correspondent, Larborough Lopez, has been looking

into this and joins us now. So, Laura, what kinds of savings are Musk and his team claiming?

And does the math add up? So Elon Musk and his team on that wall of receipts say that their total

cuts equal $65 billion in savings.

They base that on contract cancellations, firing workers, and quote fraud detection.

But as the New York Times first reported, five of Doge's biggest contracts that they say have resulted in savings ended up being deleted from that wall of receipts

after outlets pointed out that there were errors.

And some of the biggest errors in savings are, as CBS first reported,

a USAID contract for 650 million that was listed three times.

As the Intercept first reported, a Social security contract listed as $232 million instead of

$560,000 and an ICE contract that Doge listed as $8 billion, when in reality it was $8 million.

And it's important to note that that $8 million dollar ICE contract was a credit line.

That means that ICE may have never ended up paying out that total

$8 million. And some of these contracts were on the wall of receipts were either already paid

or canceled under the Biden administration. So Doge is essentially taking a lot of credit

in time for some of these contracts that don't appear to be actually the savings that they say they are.

I know you were working the phones and talking to vendors who appear on this so-called wall of receipts.

What did they tell you?
