DeSantis said he sent $900M back to the feds. Here's the rest of the story

[In It to Win It]

Gov. Ron DeSantis generated headlines and praise over the weekend after announcing that Florida was helping Elon Musk’s DOGE efforts by “returning” nearly $900 million to the federal government.

“Almost a billion dollars of your taxpayer money saved,” Musk touted.

The claim was misleading. The money DeSantis said he was “returning” was for two federal programs that Florida never asked for in the first place. One of them was more than a year old.

Those details were left out of the governor’s Friday night announcement on X, which was viewed 33 million times. In the post, DeSantis said that Florida was trying “for years” to return money to the federal government, but President Joe Biden’s administration “couldn’t even figure out how to accept it.”

“Today, I met with @elonmusk and the DOGE team, and we got this done in the same day,” DeSantis wrote, referring to President Donald Trump’s “Department of Government Efficiency.”
