Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has announced that the department has already canceled 104 contracts related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) across a bevy of federal agencies, saving taxpayers over $1 billion.

Headed by Elon Musk, the nongovernmental advisory commission provided the DOGE operational update in a Jan. 31 post on X, which features a list of 25 federal agencies along with a corresponding number of DEI-related contracts that have been canceled.
