Investment banker James Fishback proposed paying some of DOGE 's savings back to taxpayers in the form of checks.

Musk said he'd "check with" President Donald Trump about it on Tuesday .

Lawmakers on Capitol Hill would need to approve it, and it's facing some skepticism.

"The people who get restitution are the people who paid, and did not feel like they got a good value out of it." "It's just a con. It's not about saving money. It's about stealing from people," Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut told BI , referring to DOGE broadly. "This is all a pretty simple effort to steal from regular people to enrich the very wealthy.".
