With Elon Musk’s exit from DOGE, is the $5,000 stimulus payment at risk?

When Donald Trump won the election for a second term in the White House, it was immediately known that the magnate and businessman Elon Musk would have a very important role within his administration, and sooner rather than later it was announced that he would be in charge of the newly created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

However, despite the enormous depth and significance of the actions entrusted to this entity, it was never thought that DOGE would have the character of ‘permanent‘, so its range of action always had a deadline, July 4, 2026.

DOGE follows the path to its target

Despite the numbers that DOGE has delivered to the Trump administration in terms of budget savings and slimming down the US bureaucracy, which is its raison d’être, it will not be able to meet a target that was from the outset deemed excessive, as Musk promised that the department would save the government 2 trillion dollars through a precise strategy of cuts across the administration

It was then that from the perspective of James Fishback, CEO of Azoria, the narrative was created that these resources could be distributed among the population in the form of a dividend, something that due to its strength and media repetition had to be taken into account by Trump and Musk themselves, who at some point echoed this possibility, albeit ambiguously.

The issue is not strictly about whether or not there will be resources, as this possibility has not been supported by the chambers, where it has not even arrived as a proposal, and moreover Elon Musk has already shown that his work in DOGE is coming to an end, so he will focus again on his companies to get them out of a certain crisis that plagues them.

Is the existence of a DOGE check in jeopardy?

In this situation, the name of Musk was again associated with that of an eventual DOGE dividend, especially because of the possibility that the absence of its promoter could definitely derail its viability.

It was Elon Musk himself who made it clear, perhaps unintentionally, that this does not have much of a future: “It depends to some degree on Congress and perhaps the president to decide if specific checks are issued, but it is a fact that reducing unnecessary spending will benefit the economy (…) As public spending becomes more efficient, the inflationary tax is reduced. So, one way or another, actually, it will be better for everyone if resources are not wasted in the United States. We have come a long way, but there is still a lot of work to be done,” he said.

In short, Musk’s withdrawal from DOGE will make no difference, as something that has never been a tangible possibility cannot be in danger.

Club World Cup: Lionel Messi and Inter Miami stumble in opener as Egypt’s Al Ahly steals the show

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — Lionel Messi and Inter Miami came to Hard Rock Stadium on Saturday as the Club World Cup’s handpicked opening act, but left with a laborious 0-0 draw, and with waning hopes that they can compete on this first-of-its-kind global stage.They got exposed at times by the champions of Egypt, Al Ahly, and were fortunate to come away with a point.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementIn the months and weeks building up to the opener, they were the headliners, supposedly the main attraction. But they were quickly overwhelmed by Al Ahly — by its players, who were organized and sharp; and by its fans, who paraded into the stadium hours before kickoff and made Miami a quasi-road team at home.The Herons played at an MLS pace, which they soon learned was nowhere near fast enough. They played with MLS intensity, which everyone […]

Análise: Estrelas do Inter Miami ficam apagadas e goleiros roubam os holofotes na primeira partida do Mundial de Clubes

Como já era de se esperar, a primeira partida da Copa do Mundo de Clubes, disputada por Inter Miami-EUA e Al Ahly-EGI, não foi lá um primor técnico. Com Messi, Suárez e Busquetes, estrelas do time da MLS, em noite de pouco brilho, coube aos goleiros — principalmente ao argentino Ustari, da equipe americana — assumirem os holofotes em um jogo que, apesar do empate em 0 a 0, foi animado. Conheça: Herói do Inter Miami é veterano de geração marcante de goleiros argentinos e viu dois colegas morrerem na base Mais organizado taticamente e com frutífera aposta nas transições em velocidade quando recuperava a bola, o Al Ahly foi superior durante toda a primeira etapa. Ao todo, os egípcios tiveram pelo menos cinco grandes chances para abrir o placar, incluindo um pênalti sofrido por Zizo e cobrado por Trézéguet […]
