For example, one claim of $8 billion in savings turned out to be just $8 million\u2014a significant overstatement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-body font-regular leading-[24px] pt-[9px] pb-[2px]\">But if the plan does work, here\u2019s what Musk thinks:<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_207548\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-207548\" style=\"width: 793px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-207548\" src=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/GkKVFSBXsAAkX0l-793x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"793\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/GkKVFSBXsAAkX0l-793x1024.jpeg 793w, https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/GkKVFSBXsAAkX0l-232x300.jpeg 232w, https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/GkKVFSBXsAAkX0l-768x992.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/GkKVFSBXsAAkX0l-1189x1536.jpeg 1189w, https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/GkKVFSBXsAAkX0l-39x50.jpeg 39w, https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/GkKVFSBXsAAkX0l.jpeg 1462w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 793px) 100vw, 793px\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-207548\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">(<a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.semafor.com\/article\/02\/18\/2025\/a-maga-adviser-is-proposing-a-doge-dividend\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">DOGE<\/a>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"text-body font-regular leading-[24px] pt-[9px] pb-[2px]\">Fishback\u2019s plan suggests a one-time $5,000 rebate check would be issued to households that pay federal income tax.
