Amid a massive push by the Trump administration to root out improper and wasteful government spending, social media claims circulated that Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) cut payments to Barack Obama for "royalties associated with Obamacare.

A mandate for change is not a blank check for one party to do whatever it wants. Trump and Musk may want to rethink their strategy with DOGE if they want real reform.

Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency have been tasked by President Donald Trump with slashing federal spending. But social media posts falsely claim that as part of that effort, DOGE stopped "royalties" to former President Barack Obama related to the Affordable Care Act,

The Trump administration is aiming to unload half the buildings the government owns and cancel 50% of leases for offices across the country.

A resurfaced claim that Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency halted $2.6 million in annual royalty payments to Barack Obama over Obamacare is false. Times Now Digital confirmed Obama never received such payments.

Democratic strategist James Carville predicted Elon Musk's moves through the DOGE will "turn out more Democrats" than former President Barack Obama ever did.

Democrats missed an opportunity to head off Trump’s scorched-earth attack on government.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt called out hypocritical Democrats for their stance on rooting out wasteful spending, arguing Barack Obama once promised a DOGE-type effort.

“This desk, the ‘C&O,’ which is also very well-known and was used by President George H.W. Bush and others, has been temporarily installed in the White House while the Resolute Desk is being lightly refinished—a very important job,” Trump wrote.
