Elon Musk abruptly cut a program for teens with disabilities.
Quote:One of these programs, cancelled on Feb. 10, was called Charting My Path for Future Success. It was a research-based effort to help students with disabilities make the sometimes difficult transition from high school into college or the world of work and self-sufficiency.
Quote:According to DOGE's "Wall of Receipts," the Charting My Path contract was worth about $43 million and only about $5 million had been spent, creating a "savings" of roughly $38 million.
But those closest to Charting My Path, who would not speak publicly for fear of retribution, say the total contract value was over $45 million and that nearly $20 million – not $5 million – had been spent on research, instructor salaries and more before the contract was terminated.
The Trump administration did not respond to a request to explain its accounting.
On that note, I don't like calling it DOGE any more than I like calling Twitter "X", so I will be simply referring to it as Elon Musk for this kind of coverage. Names carry a lot of weight in how we perceive them.
