Americans might be in store for a potential rebate check from the government after all the wasted spending was discovered. It would be a potential way to rebuild trust in the government and a show of faith as President Donald Trump’s DOGE, lead by Elon Musk, works to stop taxpayer money from going towards things that don’t really benefit American citizens. Trending Politics reported more on the potential for rebate/refund checks:

Elon Musk on Tuesday stated that he intends to ask President Trump about what is being called a “DOGE refund,” which would provide checks to American citizens to make up for taxpayer-funded government waste if recommended cuts are ultimately made.

James Fishback, the CEO of investment firm Azoria who has reportedly been serving as an outside advisor to DOGE, pitched the idea of “a tax refund check to be sent after the expiration of DOGE in July 2026 funded exclusively with a portion of the total savings delivered by DOGE” in an X post on Friday.”American taxpayers deserve a ‘DOGE Dividend’: 20% the money that DOGE saves should be sent back to hard-working Americans as a tax refund check. It was their money in the first place!” Fishback wrote.

“At $2 trillion in DOGE savings and 78 million tax-paying households, this is a $5,000 refund per household, with the remaining used to pay down the national debt,” he added before tagging Musk in the post. “@ElonMusk, let’s do this! This is how we rebuild trust in our government.”
