Elon Musk, head of the Department of Government Efficiency, expressed interest in issuing dividend checks to Americans from savings generated by the agency. A proposal for a “DOGE Dividend” was suggested by CEO James Fishback, calling for 20% of savings to be refunded to taxpayers. Musk indicated he would discuss the idea with President Trump. The goal is to reduce the deficit by utilizing savings, with potential for a $5,000 “DOGE dividend” per tax-paying household if $2 trillion in savings is achieved. The proposal aims to engage taxpayers in identifying waste, fraud, and abuse to contribute to savings.
