Musk Mulls Sending All Americans $5,000 Checks Using DOGE Savings

Elon Musk recently responded to a proposal for a “DOGE Dividend” on X (formerly Twitter), suggesting he would discuss it with President Donald Trump.

The proposal, pitched by James Fishback, CEO of Azoria, suggests a $5,000 tax refund for households funded by savings from DOGE’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

The plan aims to return 20% of DOGE’s targeted $2 trillion savings to taxpayers, benefiting around 79 million households.

As of Monday, DOGE claims to have saved $55 billion through various efficiency measures, Forbes has reported.

Musk noted that the final decision rests with the President.
