The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) saves more than $5 million a year because it finds that several agents pay for multiple software far more than they actually use.
For example, the IRS paid 3,000 software licenses, but only 25 were used.
"Agents usually have more software licenses than employees, and these licenses are usually idle (i.e. paid for but not installed on any computer). These reviews have been going on since their first release in February."
The Labor Department noted that the Labor Department cut 68% of unused "Project Plan" software licenses, and the Securities and Exchange Commission cut 78% of remote desktop software programs paid after finding that the commission used only 22% of the program.
As Elon Musk's roads found
According to Doge, the three changes save more than $5 million a year.
Doge raised a red flag in February when Times agents shared posts about the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), the agency paid more for software licensing.
GSA has 13,000 employees and has paid 37,000 licenses for Winzip, the program is used to archive and compress files.

The agency also paid 19,000 training software subscriptions, 7,500 project management software seats, the department had only 5,500 employees and three different ticketing systems.
The latest post comes as billionaire Elon Musk landed in the face of Doge.
The latest news on the Doge website says that while Doge's mission is to cut $2 trillion from its budget, its efforts have resulted in approximately $175 billion in savings due to asset sales, cancellation of contracts, cutting fraudulent payments and other ways to cancel costs.

The website notes that each taxpayer who saves is about $1,087.
Musk told reporters at the Oval Office on Friday that savings will continue and he believes the total cuts will reach $1 trillion in the next few years.

"The impact of the threshold will only become stronger," Musk said. "I liken it to a Buddhist person. It's like a way of life, so it permeates the government throughout. And, I'm confident that over time we'll see $1 trillion in savings, $1 trillion in waste, less fraud."
