President Donald Trump expressed his support for the idea of distributing a portion of the savings generated by Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) back to American citizens in the form of a dividend. Speaking at an investment conference in Miami, Trump mentioned that the administration is contemplating a proposal where 20% of the savings achieved through DOGE's cost-cutting measures would be allocated to U.S. citizens, with another 20% directed towards reducing the national debt.
Trump highlighted that such dividend payments could serve as an incentive for individuals to identify and report instances of wasteful spending, thereby actively participating in the government's efforts to save money. He emphasized that this approach would encourage people to take ownership of the process and contribute to overall efficiency.
