Polymarket has stopped taking bets on whether Elon Musk's Department Of Government Efficiency (DOGE) will cut $3 billion worth of DEI contracts by the end of February, citing unreliable data from its own data tracker. The market asked if DOGE will cut the contracts and had a volume of $16,352, but Polymarket canceled the market due to changes in the data source. DOGE's reporting of government savings has been called exaggerated and even fraudulent, with errors and overestimations in its calculations. Despite correcting some errors, DOGE has not addressed the underlying flaws in estimating savings for other contracts. DOGE disputes a New York Times article on an $8 billion mistake and claims it always used the correct $8 million figure. DOGE and the Trump administration are tearing down DEI contracts and policies, drawing backlash from critics who believe it will harm public education.
