Donald Trump is endorsing an idea from Elon Musk and his supporters to cut Americans a check for “savings” identified by the so-called Department of Government Efficiency.
Speaking at a Saudi-backed investment conference in Miami on Wednesday, the president endorsed an idea to give 20 percent of those alleged savings back to American taxpayers, with another 20 percent to “pay down debt,” Trump said. It is unclear where that remaining 60 percent would go.
