That $140B is a very concrete number with documentation to back up all 7279 line items in great detail. Nearly 1000x more than this $200M Cybertruck inventory. So yes, peanuts compared to the waste and fraud they've found. Your somewhat unrelated claim about the IRS is from a pay-walled source, and one that is historically rather biased against conservatism I might add. Are they claiming that the reduction in force reduced audits or something which somehow equates to $500B? I'd like to see equally detailed evidence for their claim.

What do you mean by "very concrete number"? And why do you consider DOGE's documentation to be substantiating evidence? I quickly searched through your comments and see that you're a Mormon. Do you likewise believe that the Book of Mormon is empirical evidence that substantiates Mormonism? If so, how do you decide which reading material is substantiating evidence and which isn't?
Many errors and exaggerations have been found in DOGE’s numbers. Enough to where I don’t trust a word they now say. The $140B could be real or complete BS, or somewhere in between. That’s what happens when you lose trust because you don’t act in a way that engenders trust.
Even if that 140B is real, how does that make the corruption and waste that this kind of purchase would be acceptable? Do you think they'll stop the corruption and waste at that? Do you think they won't just replace waste that didn't benefit them with waste that does?
Prepare to be disappointed. Career journalists can certainly be too liberal or too conservative for you, but their job is to check receipts. Why is Kari Lake lying?
