AUSTIN, TX – In a recent episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience,” Elon Musk expressed concerns about potential threats to his safety due to his efforts to expose corruption within the U.S. government. Musk, who leads the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), hinted that delving too deeply into governmental malfeasance could make him a target. He emphasized the gravity of the situation by stating that pushing too hard on corruption issues might endanger his life.
It’s more than just insider trading. The stock portfolio stuff is quite trackable, but it’s a lot more than insider trading,” said Musk. “I mean this is really gonna get me assassinated,” Musk replied. “It’s like, I’m not lengthening my lifespan by explaining this stuff, to say the least. I mean, I was supposed to go back to DC. How am I going to survive? This is fucking going to kill me for sure,” Musk continued.
During the interview, Musk also addressed allegations regarding the Social Security Administration (SSA). He claimed that millions of deceased individuals are still listed as alive in the SSA’s records, suggesting significant fraud within the system. However, experts have refuted these assertions, clarifying that such claims are based on misinterpretations of data rather than evidence of widespread fraud.
Additionally, Musk and Rogan discussed a conspiracy theory suggesting that CNN had prior knowledge of an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, leading the network to broadcast a specific rally. CNN has denied these allegations, stating that their coverage was due to the anticipated announcement of Trump’s Vice Presidential pick, labeling any contrary suggestions as false.
Musk’s comments have sparked debates about the challenges of addressing governmental inefficiencies and the potential risks faced by those attempting to expose systemic issues. His role in DOGE underscores his commitment to identifying and rectifying inefficiencies within federal operations.
