Tech billionaire Elon Musk, who leads the Department of Government Efficiency under the Trump administration, has voiced concerns regarding the pervasive corruption in the nation.
Recently, Musk appeared on the Joe Rogan Experience, where he indicated that delving deeply into the corruption in Washington, D.C. could potentially lead to his assassination.
“It extends beyond mere insider trading. While stock portfolio activities are relatively traceable, the issue encompasses much more than that,” Musk stated.
“Are you referring to the methods by which they accumulate wealth?” Rogan inquired.
“Exactly,” Musk responded after a brief pause.
“What other techniques are involved?” Rogan pressed. Musk replied, “Discussing this could genuinely put my life at risk. To put it bluntly, I’m not doing myself any favors by revealing this information. I was meant to return to D.C.; how can I ensure my safety? This situation is incredibly perilous for me,” he elaborated.
“Indeed, I often think about this… I must be cautious not to probe too deeply into the corruption issue, as it could lead to fatal consequences.”
Musk went on to explain that several politicians, including former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, leverage their insider knowledge to generate profits that significantly exceed the general market averages, such as the S&P 500.
He disclosed that over the past few years, he has received an unprecedented number of death threats. As the head of DOGE, Musk and his team have already proposed $150 billion in budget cuts.
Moreover, DOGE aims to assess inefficient and politically biased programs, including diversity initiatives. Although it lacks the authority to enforce these cuts, its recommendations could shape future policy decisions. This initiative aligns with the House’s support for a plan to implement nearly $1 trillion in federal budget reductions, backed by Trump.
Many perceive Musk’s assertions on the podcast as not only audacious but also potentially hazardous.His remarks reflect the present condition of governance and highlight a broader concern: the existence of a system in which legislators and politicians seem to gain personally while formulating policies that serve their own interests, thereby raising significant ethical questions and concerns regarding the integrity of democracy.
Musk and Rogan further examined the function of non-governmental organizations, which they argue operate as financial engines for the elite.
