The speaker asks the senator his opinion on violence against Tesla products. The speaker specifically asks if the senator denounces the violence against Tesla products, dealerships, and cars. The senator responds that he can't talk about Tesla, but that Elon Musk is a disaster for America, and America knows it. The speaker then thanks the senator.

The Democrats and the media are now resorting to racism to attack Doge, questioning Elon Musk's citizenship and loyalty to the United States, bringing up his South African background and falsely labeling him as pro-apartheid. They are also saying that he has "dual loyalties". Despite this, Musk is working with President Trump to streamline the government and eliminate waste. Critics didn't express the same concerns about George Soros, who spent billions to undermine American strength. Musk chose to build his companies and innovate in America, and is poised to solve rural broadband issues. Instead of attacking him, critics should engage with his policies. The American people support what Donald Trump is doing through Elon Musk, as he follows through on his promises.

During a press conference with Donald Trump, Elon Musk's presence and focus raised concerns. It appeared to be a PR move to counter Musk's declining popularity, while also serving Trump's image. Transparency is the key issue. Musk claims full transparency, but his actions don't align. I don't believe Musk is being transparent, especially considering his companies' contracts with government agencies. He has access to a lot of data and information, and controls contracts for Tesla, SpaceX, and others. It's about more than just contracts and money, it's about control. By controlling information, he controls the lifeblood of his companies. This information could be shared with other tech billionaires, enriching them all.

People are saying Elon is going to steal everyone's money, but that's not what he's doing. He's a super genius who's been messed with by three-letter agencies. Because he helped Donald Trump get into office, he started looking into corruption. These agencies messed with the wrong guy because Elon is going to hunt them down and find out what's going on. This is a good thing for everyone. We have a brilliant mind examining these corrupt systems and bringing in a bunch of smart people to help.

As a policy advisor for the Treasury, I work on national security risks, monitoring investments into the US. Recently, Doge gained access to the Treasury to cut waste. I think we're an easy target, and there are people here who don't do much. My colleagues and I are worried about Doge and potential firings. What Elon is doing feels like government-sanctioned harassment. People here think it's not going to fire the right people, it's going to fire the wrong people. Many of us in my office are worried about being fired, especially the new hires. Some people care more about money than the country. I also feel that Doge shouldn't have access to the Treasury due to national security risks. No one knows what they want to do with the system. Giving people access to information creates vulnerabilities.

Speaker 0 suggests Trump's history of targeting businesses and leaders who he perceives as political enemies should make him "radioactive" to the business world. Speaker 1 notes that, with the exception of Elon Musk, few CEOs of large companies publicly support Trump, fearing retribution. Speaker 0 asks Speaker 1 to elaborate on a statement that some business leaders support Trump because they believe they can manipulate him. Speaker 1 explains that these leaders see the relationship as transactional, believing they can influence policy with the right amount of money, citing crypto as an example.

We will establish a new department of government efficiency led by Elon Musk. He is not taking over the presidency; I appreciate having smart people around. There's a narrative circulating about President Trump ceding the presidency to Elon Musk, but that's not true. Elon has accomplished remarkable things, like successfully landing a rocket recently. It was coming down at an incredible speed of 17,000 miles per hour, and it landed safely. It's great to have capable individuals we can depend on.

Speaker 0 argues that Trump "picked out individual businesses or sometimes individual business leaders who he wanted to use the government to punish" and "went after Amazon and Jeff Bezos" and "went after saying he wanted to go after Mark Zuckerberg," engaging in actions "targeting businesses because of what were perceived to be his political interests." He warns this would make him "radioactive in the business world" because "business people are too smart to think that they can always be on the right side of those calculations." Speaker 1 notes that "you don't hear a whole lot of CEOs ... coming out in support of him" and that "nobody that I know other than Leon Elon" has supported him. He adds that some business leaders support Trump "with the caveat" for a "very transactional" reason: "For the right amount, you can guide policy. I think you saw that with crypto."

President Musk warned against taking action, advising to shut the government down. This caused fear among those involved. What insight does he have?

The courts are the first line of defense against illegal activity. I'm working with lawyers bringing these cases forward, and we're seeing many temporary restraining orders issued recently. This reflects the Trump administration's illegal use of executive orders to bypass Congress and make sweeping changes. I'd like to see Doge and Project 2025 put up for a vote in Congress; I believe they would fail. Trump avoided these issues on the campaign trail because they're unpopular. Now, he's using executive orders to push them through and has Elon Musk doing his "dirty work".

I work at the Treasury, reviewing investments into the US for national security risks. Recently, Doge gained access to the Treasury to cut waste, but I think we're an easy target. People I know have worked for the government for years and don't do much. Doge shouldn't have access to the Treasury due to national security risks. It's weird because no one knows what they want to do with the system or why they need access to random people's tax information. Giving people this kind of access creates vulnerabilities. They could misuse the information or give it to another country. Elon's actions feel like government-sanctioned harassment. Everyone in my office is worried about getting fired. Some people care more about money than the country.

- The conversation opens with a reflection on Doge from Elon Musk’s perspective. Musk says the Doge government project was “a little a little bit successful” and claims they “stopped a lot of funding for that… that really just made no sense,” noting that 2–3% of government payments were unnecessarily sent without proper codes or explanations, which made stopping the waste difficult. - When asked if he would do Doge again, Musk says no, and suggests that instead of Doge he would have worked in his companies and not had the cars running. - On irrational fears, Musk says he tries not to have irrational fears and squelches any he identifies. - If starting from scratch today with a thousand dollars, Musk recalls originally coming to North America with about 2,500 Canadian dollars (roughly $2 US) and says that with the knowledge he has now, it would require Armageddon or a terminal failure of civilization for that scenario to be plausible again; otherwise he could recruit funding based on the high returns he can promise. - In the Katie Miller podcast episode, the host takes Musk back to January 20 (in the Roosevelt Room) and asks what happened next with Doge. Musk explains Doge stemmed from Internet suggestions; it was initially intended to call the Government Efficiency Commission, but the Internet suggested Department of Government Efficiency, DOGE. - On success, Musk reiterates they were “a little… somewhat successful,” citing the elimination of wasteful payments and the example of eliminating a large portion of zombie payments through requiring a payment code and explanation. - Would Musk start Doge again from scratch or know what he knows now? He says no, and notes that rather than Doge, he would focus on his companies and avoid the funding backlash from stopping money flows to political corruption. - After DC experiences, Musk expresses that the aim is the least government intervention possible, but he highlights a major concern: large transfer payments to illegal immigrants, arguing that citizenship fast-tracking and government payments create a powerful pull factor, effectively “voter importation.” - On AI, Musk believes AI and robotics will eventually provide all goods and services, making work optional; he distinguishes his predicted outcomes from what he wishes would happen, acknowledging the rapid pace of AI advancement and the difficulty in slowing it. - Sleep and routine: Musk averages about six hours of sleep per night; he tracks sleep using ex-posts and a phone app, finding five hours fifty-six minutes as a recent average. He emphasizes information triage and minimizing context switching to manage inbound communications across Tesla, SpaceX, X (Twitter), and personal matters. - On people and leadership, Musk describes President Trump as very funny and “naturally funny,” and says the funniest person he knows in real life is Trump who can be effortless in humor. - God and religion: Musk says God is the creator and acknowledges that the universe came from something, noting that people have different labels. - About space, Musk emphasizes Starship’s potential for full and rapid reusability and calls life becoming multi-planetary one of the top evolutionary milestones, alongside multicellular life and life branching from oceans to land. He states Starship is capable of enabling sustainable multiplanetary life, with Starship not using AI in its creation. - He clarifies that Tesla and X AI both contribute to improving life on Earth, and stresses that Mars would be dangerous and uncomfortable in early days; it would be risky with high chances of death, and early settlers would face hardship rather than an escape from Earth. - On Starbase, Musk describes it as an inspirational city and a rocket factory by the Rio Grande on a sandbar; Starbase is legally incorporated as a city with tax-exempt status, a milestone akin to Disney World as a company town. He notes Cape Canaveral proximity and recalls visiting Disney World multiple times with his kids; Space Mountain is his favorite ride but could use an upgrade. - On fashion, Musk laments that styles have not evolved much since 2010–2015 and argues for more distinctive, era-defining fashion—suggesting higher collars, bolder silhouettes, and more personality in wardrobe. - Conspiracy theories: Musk says he hasn’t seen evidence of aliens; he does confirm that Neil Armstrong and others walked on the Moon and jokes that they even played golf there. He notes there is gravity on the Moon (one-sixth) and that there is no atmosphere. - The biggest misconception about Musk: the general belief that he is a difficult boss; he counters with praise for the mission-driven loyalty of his employees and characterizes his workplaces as highly inspirational. - On Starbase’s origin, he reveals the desire to create something inspirational and notes Starbase’s proximity to Disney World as part of the branding and cultural context. - For a hypothetical dinner party, Musk names Shakespeare, Ben Franklin, and Nikola Tesla, and envisions a grand 12-course meal; he jokes about possibly including a tiny cheeseburger as one course. - Closing note: the episode wraps with thanks and a tease for the next installment.

Donald Trump recently announced the formation of a new Department of Government Efficiency, or Doge, led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy. However, it's important to note that only Congress can establish federal departments. Trump's move appears to promote Dogecoin, a cryptocurrency he supports, which has seen a significant rise recently. Musk and Ramaswamy plan to cut $500 billion from the federal budget and reduce the federal workforce by 95%, arguing that many employees are unnecessary due to anticipated deregulations. This could lead to unregulated financial markets and environmental concerns, as well as impacts on healthcare access.

Elon Musk faced a setback when Donald Trump announced a non-existent position for him, sharing the press release with Vivek Ramaswami. Musk and Ramaswami are set to lead the fictional Department of Government Efficiency, which lacks any formal structure or funding. This role, intended to drive government reform, is unlikely to grant Musk significant power or an office in the West Wing. The announcement suggests they will conclude their work by July 4, 2026, with skepticism about their ability to eliminate government waste, a challenge Trump himself couldn't tackle during his presidency. Given Trump's history of high turnover in his administration, the prospects for Musk and Ramaswami's collaboration appear grim, with Ramaswami likely hoping for Musk to leave so he can take the lead in this imaginary department.

Are you on my side? Trump wants us all to bow to him, but we want him in jail. Also, Musk wants to rescue these government gremlins from working underground.

The speaker discusses Matt Van Swal's summary of the "Doge situation," claiming Doge is one of the most popular government initiatives ever. According to the summary, 73% of Americans support cutting government waste, and Trump brought in "the smartest man on earth" to do it. However, the left allegedly destroyed Elon Musk for his involvement, and the GOP won't vote on it. Elon Musk responded to the post with "did my best." The speaker expresses frustration that Congress will not codify the savings, despite Musk's efforts. The speaker notes Marjorie Taylor Greene is trying to get it codified. The speaker believes Congress thwarting the effort is a tragedy.

The speaker was asked if they would get rid of the Tesla and Starlink service at the White House. The speaker responded no, stating they may move the Tesla around a little bit, but that Starlink is a good service. When asked where they would move the Tesla, the speaker said they have a lot of locations. The speaker was then asked if they ever saw Elon Musk get physical with the treasury secretary. The speaker responded no, stating they had an argument, but didn't see any physicality. The speaker was then asked about a New York Times report alleging that Elon Musk was blurring the lines between recreational use of drugs and medicinal use towards the end of his time in the White House, and whether the speaker thought Musk ever had drugs at the White House. The speaker responded that they didn't know, and hoped not, wishing Musk well and stating they had a good relationship.

I work for the Treasury, reviewing investments into the US for national security risks. Recently, Doge gained access to the Treasury to cut waste, but people are resisting. They're an easy target because there are people who don't do much, and we should be getting rid of them. What Elon is doing feels like government-sanctioned harassment, and everyone in my office is worried about being fired. No one knows what Doge wants to do with the system or why they need access to certain information. When you give people access, it creates vulnerabilities. They could take that information and give it to someone they shouldn't. There's a class of people in this country who care more about money, and Elon is showing that what he cares about is money.

Mister President, what do you think about the Democrats' criticism of the staff reductions by Elon Musk and Doge, claiming it's an unlawful power grab? Have you restricted Musk in any way? We haven't discussed much. He has a capable team that knows what they're doing. They ask questions and can quickly identify issues. I've directed him to explore areas like education and military, where they're uncovering significant fraud and waste. I identify targets for investigation, and while there may be areas we won't touch, I believe everything is worth examining. As a government, we need to be transparent, and I'm willing to take action if necessary.

I work for the Treasury, reviewing investments into the U.S. for national security risks, like we initially did with TikTok. My team monitors agreements with companies to ensure they address identified problems. Recently, Doge gained access to the Treasury to cut waste, and I admit we're an easy target. Some colleagues don't do much, and we should get rid of them. What Elon is doing feels like government-sanctioned harassment. Everyone in my office is worried about being fired. There's a class of people who care more about money than the country. Doge shouldn't have access to the Treasury due to national security risks. It's weird; no one knows what they want to do with the system or why they need access to sensitive information. Someone with access could give that information away, even if they're American.

Mister President, what do you think about the Democrats' criticism regarding staff reductions by Elon Musk and Doge, claiming it's an unlawful power grab? Have you instructed Musk on what he cannot do? We haven't discussed specifics much. Musk has a capable team that knows what they're doing. They ask questions and can identify issues quickly. I've directed him to explore areas like education and military, where they've uncovered significant fraud and waste. While I may target specific areas, I believe there are many opportunities for improvement. As a government, we must remain open and transparent. If necessary, I can step in personally.

Governor Waltz stated he frequently checks Tesla stock to give himself a boost during the day. One speaker questioned how Americans should view politicians who take pride in the downfall of an American car company. Another speaker responded that Governor Waltz is living a sad existence after his devastating defeat on November 5.

I just spoke with some Republican members who are frustrated with Musk's involvement in political discussions. They are upset about his threats on X regarding primaries and feel he shouldn't interfere in the processes of elected officials. It's important to remember that Musk is not an elected representative; despite his wealth, he has no mandate from the public.

Here's what's happening with Doge: Despite claiming maximum transparency, there's confusion about who's in charge and what they're doing, especially with federal job losses. The White House says Elon Musk isn't the Doge administrator but oversees it for President Trump. Trump calls Musk a "patriot," whether "employee" or "consultant," but dodges concerns about conflicts of interest with Musk's companies, despite them working with agencies that regulate or contract with his companies. Trump claims he wouldn't allow conflicts of interest, stating Musk can't partake in areas where conflicts exist. There's contradiction, since a White House official says Musk only advises Trump, while Musk implies he's making decisions. Trump addressed speculation about a divide, saying Musk told him people are "trying to drive us apart," but that the public "sees what's happening."
