Musk said he should be careful not to “work hard” with corruption or he could be killed.
“Giant Magnetic Force”
Illegal immigrants are provided with benefits such as social security, disability, and Medicaid. It serves as a “huge magnetic force” to draw people from all over the world into the United States, Musk said on the “Joe Rogan Experience” podcast that lasted about three hours on February 28th.
“If you pay people at a standard of living that exceeds 90% of the Earth, there is a very strong incentive for 90% of the Earth to come and stay here. But when you finish an illegal alien scam, you turn off that magnet and leave. And they stop coming and what’s here, many of them will simply leave.”
Musk called for an overall push to file “huge voter fraud” to bring illegal immigrants to the United States.
In seven swing states, the margin of victory often tends to be around 20,000 votes, he said. “If you put 200,000 illegal actors there, like the 80% chance of voting (D-Participation), and it’s only a matter of time before they become citizens, those swing states won’t become swing countries in the future.”
“And if they weren’t swinging nations, we will become a permanent, one-party state state, a permanent, deep blue socialist nation.”
Musk said he believes the plan would have been a success if former vice president Kamala Harris won the 2024 presidential election. If Democrats were in four more years, they might legalize illegal immigration in swing states well enough to ensure that these don’t swing anymore, he said.
“Then they won the house, the Senate, the presidency. They’ll then turn DC into state, perhaps Puerto Rico, get four senators and stuff the Supreme Court. So you’ll turn the house, the judiciary, the Senate, the presidency all blue.”
“It would have been the end,” Musk said. “That’s why I got so hardcore for Trump. And that’s why the Democrat machines are so intentional to destroy me. โ
Doge and bureaucracy
Musk said that Kuji’s efforts pose a threat to established bureaucracy.
“Bureaucracy usually eats a revolution at breakfast,” he said. “This is the first time they haven’t, and the revolution may actually be successful, that we can restore power to people rather than bureaucratic power.”
Musk said Doge is alive in reviewing the Social Security database, finding 20 million deaths marked as eligible, with some people receiving benefits.
“The look is that most of the fraud is marked alive in a Social Security database rather than directly from Social Security payments, so you can get disability, unemployment, fake healthcare costs and more,” he said.
Democrats criticize Doge for making recommendations on retrieving funds for various programs and raising concerns about security risks.
Schumer said Doge is preparing to recommend money aimed at reducing chemotherapy and imaging services, funding for disabled veterans, and money aimed at supporting veterans suffering from “toxic exposure and burning pits.”
The VA recently said it was turning the course back after putting on hold on veteran crisis line employment.
“Even if the VA reverses the course, they cancel those contracts and the termination of VA staff is very damaging and very damaging,” Schumer said. “There’s a risk that they can’t get workers back in time as they move to other jobs. And by then the damage will be done.”
Lawmakers said there have been reports that Doge staff are sharing sensitive government information through volatile communication channels.
“These cases are unforgivable due to maliciousness and incompetence, and raise additional questions about Doge employees’ access to highly sensitive personal security information and what they are doing with it,” the lawmaker wrote.
Mars mission
Regarding his dream of establishing human civilization on Mars, Musk said that the first voyage to the planet is expected to occur at the next Earth orbit synchronization event, which usually occurs every 26 months.
The event is scheduled to take place in November or December 2026, when Mask is scheduled to launch SpaceX Starships.
“Initially, we’re going to land on Mars and see if we’re going to succeed,” he said. “Suppose you could send five ships. Are all five lands just like that, or do you want to add a crater to Mars? If you add a crater, you need to be a little more careful about sending people.”
Astronaut rescue
NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Willmore have been stuck on the International Space Station for more than eight months. Musk said SpaceX intends to launch a mission to bring the astronaut back in about four weeks. The exact timing depends on the weather and other considerations.
“We always send SpaceX Dragon to the space station,” he said. The company has returned with over 50 people on track. The situation is “a bit political football,” Musk added.
“We could have got them back sooner.”
Corruption and the threat to life
In his interview, Musk said there are concerns about his life in his current abilities.
“By explaining this, to say the least, I’m not going to have a longer lifespan. I was supposed to be returning to DC. How do I survive?” he said. “In fact, I need to be careful not to push the corrupt things too hard, as it’s going to kill me.
“Pressing too hard on something corrupt will make people desperate,” he said.
