Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency has deleted hundreds more claims from its mistake-plagued "wall of receipts," erasing $4 billion in additional savings that the group said it had made for U.S. taxpayers.
Late Sunday night, the group erased or altered more than 1,000 contracts it had claimed to cancel, representing more than 40 percent of all the contracts listed on its site last week. The deleted items included five of the seven largest savings that it had claimed credit for just last week. At the same time, the group added about 1,000 additional canceled contracts, worth smaller total savings.

a 20 second query could show that buying bulk licenses gives you price breaks and after a certain amount it doesn't cost you more to go from 20,000 to 30,000
especially if you are the gubbermint they give you bottom tier pricing
something came out about one of the gov contracts for cell phones was $1 per phone purchase (motorola blackberry) and somewhere around $25 flat per line for talk/text/data
that was around 2010 but it was due to a massive contract that the cellular company couldn't say no to
