President Donald Trump said that he likes the idea of giving some of the savings from Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency back to U.S. citizens as a kind of dividend.

An idea first proposed on social media has received Trump's endorsement: Take some of the savings from Elon Musk's drive to cut government spending and return it to taxpayers.
