elon musk proposed giving everyone in the US $5,000 as a result of DOGE. DOGE has supposedly saved about $16 billion, but if you do the math, he's only saved about $2 billion (source: NPR... keep in mind that this not a lot compared to the $6.5 trillion the US gov spends each year). and then if you calculate everyone who would be eligible for this money, that equates to avoid $1,200,000,000,000 (240 million people * $5,000). now how's that for savings/government efficiency!
