A check could be headed your way! DOGE head Elon Musk said on X that he would ask President Donald Trump about a proposal for a “DOGE Dividend” that would give taxpayers a refund check of $5,000 funded by the Department of Government Efficiency. This is following a tweet from James Fishback, CEO of investment firm Azoria and reportedly an outside adviser to DOGE, who pitched the idea of “a tax refund check to be sent after the expiration of DOGE in July 2026 funded exclusively with a portion of the total savings delivered by DOGE”. The proposal calls for 20% of DOGE’s targeted $2 trillion in savings to be returned to “the 79 million tax-paying households.”
