Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (Doge) - set up to cut US government spending - claims to have saved, on average, more than $10bn a week since President Trump entered office. "We're talking about almost $200bn and rising fast," Trump told the BBC when talking about Mr Musk's cost-cutting drive on 23 April.

Elon Musk announced he would take a step back from DOGE on Tuesday. What does this mean for the proposed stimulus checks?

Elon Musk said he's stepping back from his DOGE role to focus on Tesla. That doesn't mean the DOGE-fueled federal worker firings will stop.
