In a recent interview with podcaster Joe Rogan, Elon Musk discussed various claims regarding waste and fraud within the government but provided little new information about the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Musk criticized news outlets, billionaire George Soros, and discussed private aerospace contractors and a fringe theory about stolen gold from Fort Knox. He also mentioned chaos-stoking efforts at government agencies under DOGE, which has faced scrutiny and lawsuits about its operations. Musk defended DOGE’s actions, saying they had to go through the same vetting process as federal employees and that their cuts were only recommendations, not mandatory. He did not provide specifics about the number of DOGE employees or their clearance levels. Musk also made claims about fraud related to Social Security and FEMA spending, without providing substantial evidence. Lastly, Musk addressed backlash he faced for a gesture during Trump’s inauguration, calling it “coordinated propaganda” from the media. Despite Musk’s high profile and role within the government, questions remain about DOGE and its operations, with pressure increasing to be more transparent. The interview with Rogan did not provide much clarity on these issues.
