Elon Musk has admitted he fears he could be “assassinated” if he opens up too much on his work with the Department of Government Efficiency (Doge) to axe corruption in the US government.
Speaking on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast on February 28, the Tesla CEO opened up about being smeared by the mainstream media (MSM) and receiving death threats online.
During US President Donald Trump’s inauguration, the 53-year-old appeared to make a Nazi salute to the Republican crowd.
When asked how he was feeling while dealing with the hate, Musk told Rogan it was “stressful”.
“They actually want to kill me,” Musk admitted. “They say so online. There are Reddit forums where they don’t just want to kill me, they want to desecrate my corpse.”
Rogan continued by questioning why people wanted him dead.
Musk said: “It’s sort of just an antibody response. ‘He’s a Nazi’ type of thing.
“And I’m like ‘well i’m not a Nazi’ but if the legacy media is saying I’m a Nazi and that’s all you read then you’re like ‘he’s Hitler. We should assassinate Hitler, shouldn’t we?’.”

The duo continued their conversation by speaking about the two assassination attempts on Donald Trump.
However, when Musk was questioned on whether he would crack down on insider trading and corruption in Washington DC, the SpaceX founder admitted: “This is really going to get me assasinated…”
“I’m not lengthening my lifespan by explaining this stuff to say the least.
“I mean I’m supposed to go back to DC, how long am I going to survive?
“Those f***ers are going to kill me for sure. I do actually have to be careful I don’t push too hard on the corruption stuff because it’s going to get me killed.
“I was actually thinking about that on the flight over here. If i push too hard on the corruption stuff…. People get desperate is the issue.
“If the money flow cuts off, then they can’t afford school for their kids. Then they’re like ‘f**k you I’m gonna kill you for my kids’.”

He added: “We attack the corruption enough to keep civilisation trucking along but if I fully destroy the corruption and the graft, they will kill me.
“I strive to be alive. But it’s a real concern.”
Musk then explained how two men tried to assassinate him before he became involved in politics.
He said: “Before I supported Trump, there were two guys who travelled to Austin to kill me. One guy thought I put a chip in his head.
“They’re both guys with severe mental illness. It wasn’t like they had a ‘I disagree with him politically and that’s why he needs to die’ this was before I got smeared as some sort of Nazi. Before the propaganda wave.
“The probability that any given homicidal maniac is gonna try to kill you is proportionate to how many times they hear your name, and they heard my name a lot.
“So I got to the top of the list of two homicidal maniacs. Who were arrested and both were in Travis County jail at the same time. I don't know if they talked, but they’re both released on bail.
“The second guy had ‘chief serial killer’ on his X profile. It wasn’t subtle.
“At this point, I think I’m at the top of the list for a lot of suicidal maniacs
“The more the MSM talks about you this way and says you’re a Nazi…they’re doing the same thing to me as they did to Trump.
“They’re making it sound like if you kill me, you’re a hero. What they’re doing is evil.”
