In a recent interview with podcaster Joe Rogan, Elon Musk discussed various topics including waste and fraud in the government, but provided little new information about the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Musk touched on grievances about news outlets, George Soros and private aerospace technology, as well as the alleged theft of gold from Fort Knox. He also discussed DOGE’s efforts to create chaos in government agencies. Despite Musk’s high profile, there are still many unanswered questions about DOGE’s operations. Musk defended DOGE’s access to government data, stating that staff must go through the same vetting process as federal employees. He also claimed that the cuts suggested by DOGE are not mandatory. Musk did not disclose the exact number of DOGE employees but mentioned that the initiative started with 40 to 100 people. He also made claims about fraud in Social Security and FEMA spending, but provided little evidence to support them. Musk addressed backlash he faced for making a gesture that some compared to a Nazi salute, calling it “coordinated propaganda” by the “legacy media.” Overall, the interview did not provide much insight into the work of DOGE, despite Musk’s claims and discussions about various government issues.
