More than $220 million worth of contracts cancelled by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) have been brought back.
Forty-four of the government contracts ended by DOGE and Musk have been revived by federal agencies, according to a federal spending data review by The New York Times.
However, DOGE still lists 43 of those contracts on its website as having been terminated, and some were added after they had been restored. This led to several data errors on the site.
