Billionaire businessman Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has terminated a number of projects it deemed wasteful, including a climate adaption project in Sri Lanka.
In a post published on ‘X’, the Department named two projects that were cancelled out of 199.
“Great coordination across 35 agencies over the last two days to terminate 199 wasteful contracts saving ~$250mm, including:
-Contract for “Asia Pacific – Sri Lanka climate change mitigation adaption and resilience coordinator services for forest service”
-Workshop for “Intercultural communication diversity dialogue circle communicating across differences”, the post said.
‘Climate alarmism’ is one of the areas Musk hopes to fight through his Department, which he says will cut wasteful expenditure from government agencies. (Newswire)
