    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.

    Sick shit, really.

      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.
