Elon Musk says he will discuss a “DOGE dividend” with President Donald Trump that will send $5,000 checks to every taxpaying American.
The money will be funded from the nearly $2 trillion in fraud and other government waste uncovered by DOGE.
On Tuesday, a user on X suggested sending every taxpayer a check from the money that was recovered. Musk confirmed he will discuss the plan with President Donald Trump.
Musk previously said DOGE uncovered massive fraud during an audit of the Social Security Administration. He found 1.3 million Americans are still receiving social security checks even though they are at least 150 years old.
Musk posted a list of people whose deaths are classified as “false” by the SSA. At least 1,000 people between the ages of 220 and 229 are still receiving Social Security checks.

This would be funded exclusively with a portion of total savings delivered by DOGE.
Looks like hard working taxpayers will receive a refund… pic.twitter.com/4E7mOyASqA
