Elon Musk has expressed concerns that he might be "assassinated" if he reveals too much about his work with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) aimed at combating corruption within the US government. 

In a February 28 interview on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, Tesla CEO Elon Musk talked about being attacked by mainstream media (MSM) and receiving online death threats.

During US President Donald Trump’s inauguration, the 53-year-old was seen seemingly making a Nazi salute to the Republican crowd. 

When asked about how he was coping with the backlash, 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.

'I'm gonna kill you for my kids'

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?’."

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 assassinated…"

"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.

"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’."

'They’re making it sound like if you kill me, you’re a hero': Musk 

Musk then shared that two men had attempted to assassinate him before he became involved in politics.

"Before I supported Trump, there were two guys who traveled 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 an ‘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."

"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."

"They’re making it sound like if you kill me, you’re a hero. What they’re doing is evil," he said.
