Trump floats 20% ‘dividend’ check, but DOGE savings still don’t add up
DOGE admitted to clerical errors in its estimated savings, but observers say they haven’t been properly reflected in its documentation.
An anonymous crypto sleuth named Momentum Chaser has called out the US Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) claims that it has saved American taxpayers $55 billion, prompting the agency to revise its figures — the latest in a series of dramatic events that are already impacting Americans.
Spearheaded by Tesla founder Elon Musk, DOGE’s website currently shows $55 billion in cuts to various sources of federal funding and shrinking certain agencies. But according to Momentum Chaser, the real figures are far lower.
US President Donald Trump has said 20% of the money “saved” by DOGE could go straight to the American taxpayer, while another 20% would be used to pay down the national debt.
