It’s happening…
President Trump has just confirmed that some form of DOGE stimulus checks are on the table.
Yesterday, Elon Musk said he would discuss a proposed ‘DOGE Dividend’ plan to return some of the money DOGE is saving back to the American taxpayers, and it appears he’s already kept his promise!
Speaking at an investment summit in Miami, President Trump floated the possibility and provided some details.
“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,” he said.

BREAKING: President Trump announces he is exploring a DOGE dividend, where American taxpayers will receive checks with money saved by DOGE.

From The Hill:
President Trump on Wednesday said his administration is considering using some of the money saved from Elon Musk and his team slashing government spending to pay down the federal debt and potentially cut checks to Americans.
Trump addressed attendees at the Future Investment Initiative (FII) Institute gathering in Miami, where he touted efforts led by Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to root out “government waste, fraud and abuse.”
“There’s even under consideration a new concept where we give 20 percent of the DOGE savings to American citizens, and 20 percent goes to paying down debt, because the numbers are incredible,” Trump said.
DOGE, which is not a formal government agency, claimed earlier this week that it had identified spending cuts that amounted to $55 billion in savings. But it’s not clear where all of those savings have come from. DOGE posted on its website a list of federal contracts it said it had canceled, but those contracts total about $8.6 billion in savings, according to ABC News.
As it stands, DOGE has saved us over $114 billion so far, at the time of writing this article.
And, the savings continue to compound daily.

Elon Musk Hints At “DOGE Dividend” Checks — $5,000 To Every Taxpaying Household!
I like this idea.
Keep in mind that unlike the COVID checks, these dividends would come from money that the government stolen from us to be used on things Sesame Streets in Saudi Arabia and God knows what else...
20% back to the American taxpayer, 20% to pay down debt.
Sounds reasonable to me.
But, the idea is getting mixed reactions online.
Many people are for it:
This is an incredible idea. American taxpayers deserve a refund!!

Finally, a plan that puts Americans first.

But, others think it would be better if all the savings went towards balancing the budget:
No. Just pay down the debt!
Inflation is too much money chasing too few goods - Don't send out more money. 😬❗— Tom (@BoreGuru) February 19, 2025
No, it is better that all the money they recover is used to pay the deficit, this can help pay the debt that this country has.

Where do you stand on this?
Would you like to receive a DOGE dividend?
