DeSantis Works with Musk to Return $878M to Federal Government

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) said this week that the state was returning nearly $900 million to the federal government, something it tried to do repeatedly during the Biden administration.

“For years, Florida has been trying to return federal funds to the federal government due to the ideological strings attached by the Biden Administration—but they couldn’t even figure out how to accept it,” DeSantis said in a post on X.

The governor said that he met with Elon Musk on Friday and the rest of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) team and was able to return the money.

“We got this done in the same day,” DeSantis said.

“Other states should follow Florida in supporting DOGE’s efforts!”

The governor posted the letter that he sent to the U.S. Treasury Department alerting them that the state was formally returning $878,112,000.00 in taxpayer dollars to the federal government “as part of DOGE’s efforts.”

“We will also continue to identify other unused or surplus federal funding granted to Florida and determine if further refunds can be made,” the governor added in the letter.

Musk highlighted DeSantis’ effort on X, writing: “Almost a billion dollars of your taxpayer money saved.”
