Elon Musk recently spoke about Dogecoin (DOGE) in a three-hour interview with Joe Rogan, calling it the “first threat to bureaucracy” and claiming it has exposed significant corruption. However, Musk also admitted that pushing on this issue could put him at risk.
Musk criticized government-funded NGOs, labeling them a “gigantic scam” that allows wealthy individuals to become extremely rich through non-profit work. He also made unsubstantiated claims about DOGE’s role in uncovering $1.9 billion given to an NGO with no prior activity.
In addition, Musk mentioned Bill Gates, Bill Clinton, and LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman as clients of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. However, Hoffman has denied being a client, calling the claim “slander and a lie.”
Musk expressed frustration over the lack of prosecution for those involved in the Epstein scandal, stating that there should be an attempt to prosecute the worst offenders. He also criticized mainstream media outlets like AP and Fox News, labeling them as “propaganda campaigns” that spread lies.
The interview highlights Musk’s use of his X army and loyal followers to influence government decisions, including reinstating a staffer who resigned over racist tweets. With DOGE’s ability to bypass traditional institutional authority, Musk is seeking to utilize its power to drastically reduce federal spending.
