The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), linked to former President Donald Trump, claims to have identified $175 billion in government spending savings. This translates to $1,086.96 per individual taxpayer.

President Trump considered $5,000 stimulus checks funded by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) savings. DOGE savings are disputed, with claims ranging from $150 billion to $175 billion, and some cuts potentially leading to increased costs.

DOGE says regulatory changes will save $29.4 billion, but that does not amount to a reduction in government outlays, the initiative's ostensible target.

Many Americans who have an adjusted gross income of under $40,000 owe little or no federal income tax, “especially after factoring in the effects of refundable tax credits, such as the child and earned-income credits,” according to the Pew Research Center.

Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency cut $5 million in software waste, aiming for $1 trillion in savings through audits and budget reductions.

Are Americans getting a $5,000 DOGE dividend check, refund or other stimulus payments in 2025? Here's what to know about qualifications and status.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - In a nearly 60-page report from Michigan Senator Gary Peters (D- MI), the ranking member on the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs committee, the 19 Inspectors General (IGs) President Trump fired earlier this year identified billions of dollars more in potential savings to taxpayers than DOGE.

A watchdog group finds that DOGE savings are likely impossible to track for the average American taxpayer, adding doubt to the ongoing debate over how effective the effort has been.

Elon Musk has left the White House with little fanfare after splitting with Trump on policy and failing to meet his DOGE savings goals.
