What the evidence establishes
The $2 trillion figure was Musk's campaign-era savings target. AP later reported claimed DOGE savings far below that amount and unresolved verification questions. This record is retained as an associated target, rather than assigning Trump an independently verified, unconditional $2 trillion promise or a final audit finding.
