A groundbreaking initiative spearheaded by former President Donald Trump and tech billionaire Elon Musk could soon put thousands of dollars back into the hands of American taxpayers. The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a newly formed agency, has already identified $55 billion in government waste—and now, they want to share the savings directly with the people.
“The DOGE Dividend, proposed by Azoria CEO James Fishback, would give 20% of the savings back to U.S. households as $5,000 checks during tax refund season. With total projected savings reaching $2 trillion, the plan also aims to reduce the national debt and boost the economy.”
Elon Musk has thrown his support behind the proposal, collaborating with Trump to refine its rollout. Critics, however, question how such massive budget cuts will impact existing government programs.
If approved, the first checks could arrive as early as next summer—marking a potential turning point in how taxpayer dollars are managed.
