What Elon Musk Fears: The Deeper Evils of the Deep State, By Charles Taylor (Florida)
Elon Musk's appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience, as detailed in the Zero Hedge article,
reveals his growing unease about exposing corruption tied to his work with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). He explicitly warned that delving too deeply into these issues could lead to his assassination, stating, "I mean this is really gonna get me assassinated," a sentiment he repeated, noting it's not "lengthening my lifespan" and could "get me killed." He suggested the corruption extends far beyond insider trading, describing it as "a lot more than insider trading" and hinting at systemic issues, though he noted financial misdeeds like stock portfolio manipulation are "quite trackable." This led him to admit he must be cautious, saying, "I actually have to be careful that I don't push too hard on the corruption stuff because it's going to get me killed," signalling a deliberate restraint in revealing all he knows.
Musk pinpointed "entitlements fraud" as a major source of resistance, especially from the political Left, encompassing fraud in Social Security, disability, Medicaid, and benefits for illegal immigrants, which he called a "gigantic magnetic force" drawing people globally and sustaining their presence in the U.S. He tied this to immigration policy, arguing that offering a standard of living better than 90 percent of the world incentivises illegal entry, and ending this fraud would "turn off that magnet," reducing immigration and encouraging voluntary departures. He and Rogan also criticised NGOs, calling them "a money printing hack for the elite," suggesting these groups lobby politicians to secure billions in taxpayer funds under altruistic pretences, enriching connected insiders.
Finally, Musk speculated that the Democratic "propaganda machine" targets him because exposing this fraud threatens a strategy to maintain power, possibly by fostering a dependent voter base through immigration and welfare expansion.
Musk's cryptic hints about corruption exceeding insider trading invite speculation about what he believes the elites—politicians, bureaucrats, and influential figures in NGOs and corporations—are truly pursuing. He might suspect they're orchestrating a deliberate transfer of public wealth through entitlements and NGO grants, not just for personal profit but to entrench a ruling class by creating dependency among select populations, whose loyalty could be politically exploited. His focus on illegal immigration suggests he sees elites engineering demographic shifts to secure a permanent voting bloc, altering the political landscape under humanitarian cover. The complexity and opacity of government operations, which he's reluctant to fully challenge, could point to a belief that elites exploit regulatory loopholes, unaccountable spending, and secret deals to amass power on a scale that threatens their entire system if exposed—explaining his assassination fears. He might also view their support for NGOs and borderless incentives as part of a globalist push to weaken national sovereignty, creating a supranational elite controlling resources and populations across borders, with insider trading as a mere symptom. His repeated warnings about being killed imply he thinks elites use extreme measures—surveillance, blackmail, or violence—to silence threats, protecting a broader agenda. The "money printing hack" critique of NGOs could reflect a suspicion of a parasitic economy where public funds are diverted to private hands through inflated budgets, rigged contracts, or non-profit fronts, sustaining an untouchable oligarchy under noble pretexts like climate or refugee aid. Musk's guarded language and palpable fear suggest he's glimpsed a self-perpetuating cycle of power: manipulating populations, eroding borders, and suppressing dissent, all cloaked in moral rhetoric, where the stakes are not just profit but societal control, with lethal risks for those who push back too hard.
