Elon Musk said he will bring to President Donald Trump a proposal to send Americans rebate checks representing a portion of the money they save by slashing the federal government.
On Tuesday, Musk posted on X that he “will check with the president” on Azoria CEO and co-founder James Fishback’s idea to send out “DOGE dividend” checks. The plan calls for returning 20 percent of the savings generated by the so-called Department of Government Efficiency back to taxpayers in the form of direct payments.
“We wanted to help make DOGE real for millions of Americans. They deserve a portion of the savings DOGE will deliver under President Trump’s leadership,” Fishback said.
Fishback, the founder of a self-styled “free thinking” investment firm, recently launched a fund backing companies that reject diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives and has been a vocal supporter of Trump and Musk’s agenda.
