Musk’s ‘Will Check with the President’ Sparks $5,000 ‘DOGE Dividend’ Discussion, Trump’s Thoughts [WATCH]

President Donald Trump is floating an idea that could put money back into the pockets of hardworking Americans—something the D.C. swamp would never consider, as reported by Newsmax.

Speaking at a high-profile gathering of global investors and tech leaders in Miami, Trump revealed that his administration is considering a plan to return 20% of the savings identified by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) initiative directly to the people.

“There’s even under consideration a new concept, where we give 20% of the DOGE savings to American citizens, and 20% goes to paying down debt,” Trump announced, making it clear that his administration is looking at ways to reward taxpayers rather than bureaucrats.

Dennis Quaid’s #1 Warning for Americans

The idea originated from businessman James Fishback, who laid it out in a four-page memo posted on X. His proposal, dubbed the “DOGE dividend,” quickly caught the eye of Musk himself.

The tech billionaire responded, “Will check with the President,” signaling that the concept had made its way into serious discussions.

According to a source familiar with the matter, Fishback is now in talks with the Trump administration to explore how this plan could be implemented.

His memo outlines a straightforward approach: take 20% of DOGE’s estimated $2 trillion in savings—potentially $400 billion—and distribute it as $5,000 checks to tax-paying households after DOGE’s projected wrap-up in July 2026.

For context, Musk has set a $1 trillion goal for DOGE savings, though he sees $2 trillion as an ideal scenario. So far, the initiative has already shaved $8.5 billion off government contracts, mostly by slashing wasteful spending—something Washington elites conveniently ignore.

Yet, even with these early savings, there’s no doubt that the federal government still burns through taxpayer dollars at an astonishing rate.

Of course, the usual critics are circling, trying to spin Musk’s efforts as an “ideological assault” rather than what they actually are—a long-overdue crackdown on reckless spending.

Leftist bureaucrats and career swamp creatures love their bloated agencies, and any attempt to make government more efficient is met with predictable resistance.

Meanwhile, Musk’s own SpaceX has roughly $22 billion in government contracts, proving that even his companies play within the same system he’s working to reform.

The bottom line? Trump’s consideration of this “DOGE dividend” puts the focus where it belongs—on the American people, not on wasteful bureaucrats.

🔥🚨TRUMP: “A 20% dividend, so to speak, for the money that we’re saving by going after the waste and fraud and abuse … I think it’s a great idea.”
