Elon Musk recently warned on The Joe Rogan Experience that exposing U.S.
government corruption could put his life at risk. As head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Musk discussed issues like congressional stock trading, particularly pointing out how lawmakers profit from insider information. He suggested that these issues are just a small part of a much larger problem.
Musk also shared that his DOGE team has been auditing federal agencies and proposing cuts, including $150 billion in reductions. These recommendations align with broader discussions on federal budget cuts, with some supported by figures like President Trump.
He acknowledged the personal dangers of speaking out, citing death threats and increased risks as his name becomes more known. Musk’s comments also highlight concerns about government transparency, accountability, and the manipulation of laws by lawmakers. His statements are fueling debates on the need for reform and the dangers of challenging powerful interests.
