The amount of any payments — an idea that Trump said was still under consideration — would depend on figures from DOGE, which has had some of its savings claims debunked.
This is called a bribe. He doesn’t want to give any money out but he realizes that firing hundreds of thousands off people and robbing the government clean isn’t exactly a slam dunk policy, so instead he’s offering you as 2,500$ check to watch this happen.
The initial claim of Musk was that Doge saves $2 trillion… That would be ~$1.2k per citizen.
But honestly I’d be surprised if that figure isn’t closer to $100 billion “saved”, which would net each american a <$60 cheque. And all of that money goes towards paying higher egg prices.
Edit: changed the numbers to reflect Trump’s claim.

Sick shit, really.

If only! That’s <$300 total “savings,” but the proposal is to return only 20% of it, so something <$60
Damn, you’re right!
