Musk and Trump claimed DOGE would operate with maximum transparency. DOGE published their Wall of Receipts to brag about the savings from their canceled contracts, which was touted as part of that transparency.

The site initially included contract identifiers, which reporters used fact-check DOGE's claims and find mistakes like DOGE inflating an $8 million contract as $8 billion. DOGE removed the identifiers "for security purposes."
