Original Note:
Misleading: The claim that President Obama received payments for royalties associated with "Obamacare" originates from a satirical news site in 2017 and has been debunked since. DOGE has not reported any such cut and no evidence exists to support the claim. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/obamacare-royalties/ https://www.doge.gov/ https://www.timesnownews.com/world/us/us-news/did-elon-musks-doge-stop-2-6-million-royalty-payment-to-barack-obama-for-obamacare-fact-check-article-118589713/amp https://knowinsiders.com/fact-check-did-musks-doge-stop-26-million-royalty-payment-to-barack-obama-for-obamacare-43092.html#:~:text=This%20claim%2C%20though%20gaining%20traction%20online%2C%20is%20entirely%20false https://factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com.36YQ762 https://www.factcheck.org/2025/02/posts-spread-false-claim-about-doge-halting-supposed-obamacare-royalties/
