In a recent interview with podcaster Joe Rogan, Elon Musk made various claims about waste and fraud within the U.S. government, discussing topics such as private aerospace technology, Trump’s Cabinet, and the alleged theft of gold from Fort Knox. Musk’s company xAI’s AI chatbot, Grok, responded humorously to questions about conspiracy theories. Musk mentioned the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and its efforts to create chaos within government agencies, but provided few details about its operations. Musk defended DOGE’s access to data from government agencies, stating that staffers go through the same vetting process as federal employees. However, details about DOGE’s staffing, clearance, and funding decisions remain unclear. Musk also repeated claims of fraud within the Social Security system and FEMA spending on migrants, despite lack of evidence. He addressed backlash over a gesture made during Trump’s inauguration, calling media coverage “coordinated propaganda.” Musk’s interview with Rogan raised questions about the transparency and effectiveness of DOGE and the validity of Musk’s claims about government operations. Despite Musk’s high profile and influence in government, there are concerns about the lack of clarity surrounding DOGE’s actions and decision-making processes.
