Despite Watters' objection, the Ministry of Government Efficiency claimed to have saved the taxpayers in less than a month already $ 55 billion.
Musk reportedly wanted to show off the stunning savings by driving the idea of ​​'doge dividends', which would give a payment of $ 5,000 to each America.
Doge claimed that the savings were found by a combination of detecting and removing fraud, canceling contracts and lease contracts and selling assets.
CEO James Fishback, CEO of investments, had an idea to inform Americans of how much of their money was saved.
“President Trump and @elonmusk must announce a” doge dividend ” – a tax repayment check that has been sent to each taxpayer, exclusively financed with part of the total savings that Doge has delivered,” he wrote.
Musk answered curiously, but said he “will contact the president.”
Fishback added: “American taxpayers earn a 'doge dividend': 20 percent the money that DOG saves must be sent back to hard -working Americans as a check for tax refund.”

'It was in the first place their money! For $ 2 trillion on doge saving money and 78 million tax-paying households, this is a reimbursement of $ 5,000 per household, using the remaining national debt. Elon Musk, let's do this! This is how we rebuild trust in our government. '
DOGE – nicknamed the 'Nerd Army' – also ended subsidies, dismissed federal employees, changed some programs and saved money with legal reforms.
'Doge's total estimated savings are $ 55 billion', read a message on the official doge.GOV website, which quotes data since 17 February.
It said that users of the website could expect updates twice a week and promise extra information and improvements over time.
The savings were usually made in the US Agency for International Development (USAID), the Ministry of Education, the Office of Personnel Management, the Ministry of Health and Human Services and the Department of Agriculture.
Savings on the website contain millions of dollars in canceled contracts for diversity, shares and inclusion (dei) training and termination of subscriptions for polico and other news organizations.
The cost -saving initiatives will continue to learn thousands of employees, because the Internal Revenue Service is expected to dismiss 6,000 employees on Thursday, the New York Times reported.
The effort is expected to influence mainly recent recruitments in the IRS, because the Trump administration has mainly started reducing probation workers in a series of agencies that do not enjoy the same job protection as more seasoned colleagues.
The IRS is said to start firing around 6,000 employees from Thursday, because Doge will leave the federal workforce
The Doge van Elon Musk has dismissed employees in the federal government as part of its efforts to reduce the federal workforce in recent weeks
It comes in the middle of the tax return season, which has led to concern about how it can affect Americans who deal with the IRS in the coming weeks and months.
Some Democrats and former IRS officials have warned that cutting employees can lead to a longer waiting time for Americans to get information and may have an impact on waiting times for receiving tax refunds.
According to the reports assessed by the New York Times, IRS managers started reporting employees to the office in the coming days and to bring their equipment issued by the government.
IRS employees had set their breath and waited for the shoe while Trump and Republican allies focused the desk, even before Doge started massage.
