DOGE Puts $1 Spending Limit on Government Employee Credit Cards


The restrictions are already in place at the General Services Administration along with several other agencies. Soon they'll roll out to most of the federal government, sources say.

The restrictions immediately apply to GSA, the Office of Personnel Management, the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau, and the United States Agency for International Development, according to a source with direct knowledge of the project. As DOGE attempts to cut billions of dollars from the federal budget, Elon Musk has been posting examples of alleged “fraud” his team has uncovered to his over 218 million followers on X. Expenses are scrupulously tracked—employees are told to minimize ATM withdrawals to avoid unnecessary fees, according to a current GSA employee, who like the others in this story, spoke to WIRED on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.
