Original Note:
According to a NYT investigation, there was a mistaken description for 8B that was fixed to 8M, two days into Trump's administration. Still, DOGE failed to take into account the correction or double check such an exorbitant amount with the spending data which were correct. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/upshot/doge-contracts-musk-trump.html?unlocked_article_code=1.yE4.sg3j.KO2ZcEmHuiCD&smid=url-share
