During his most recent appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience, Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) leader Elon Musk made a chilling prediction on what would happen to him if he were to fully expose the extent of corruption plaguing the country.
At one point during the interview, Rogan and Musk discussed the controversial topic of congressional stock trading. Dozens of lawmakers, including former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) have far outperformed the S&P 500 by trading stocks while having inside information about industries due to their respective committees. Lawmakers also have the ability to draft laws that could enhance their stock portfolios, leading to calls for a ban on congressional stock trading from both sides of the aisle.
“It’s more than just insider trading. The insider trading stuff, like the stock portfolio stuff, is quite trackable, but there’s… it’s a-lot more than insider trading,” Musk said. Rogan then asked him to elaborate, asking for specifics on other methods lawmakers use to build wealth.
“I mean, this is really going to get me assassinated. I’m not lengthening my lifespan by explaining this stuff, to say the least,” Musk followed up with a laugh. “I mean, I was supposed to go back to DC how am I gonna survive?”
Musk continued, “In fact I do think like there’s… it’s like I actually have to be careful that I don’t push too hard on the corruption stuff because it’s like, I was actually thinking about that on the plane flight over here. It’s like, if I push too hard on the corruption stuff, people get desperate is the issue.”
The X, SpaceX and Tesla chief went on to discuss numerous threats on his life over the years, noting that the threats have increased ten-fold since he became a staunch supporter of President Trump. “So before the propaganda wave, the severe propaganda wave, the probability that any given homicidal maniac is going to try to kill you is proportionate to how many times they hear your name. And so they heard my name a lot, so I just got to the top of the list of two homicidal maniacs who were arrested,” he explained, adding that both of the people who attempted to kill him were in the Travis County Jail at the same time.

During his most recent appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience, Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) leader Elon Musk made a chilling prediction on what would happen to him if he were to fully expose the extent of corruption plaguing the country.
At one point during the interview, Rogan and Musk discussed the controversial topic of congressional stock trading.

Musk’s team has been conducting audits of dozens of federal agencies and departments, including the Department of Defense. To date, the team has recommended more than $150 billion in cuts, much of which relates to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives and the promotion of left-wing social ideologies in foreign countries.
DOGE has also recommended significant cuts to the IRS, Department of Education and several additional agencies, while thousands of federal workers have already been laid off.
While DOGE lacks the ability to legislate, the U.S. House of Representatives earlier this week passed a budget resolution that will authorize nearly one-trillion-dollars in budget cuts. Much of the framework is expected to be adopted after leaders of relevant committees in the House and Senate come to a compromise. While the Republican-controlled Senate passed their own framework, President Trump has endorsed the House resolution.
Lawmakers are expected to put many of DOGE’s cuts into law when the agreement is finalized.
