Elon Musk just dropped a bombshell on the Joe Rogan Experience, confirming what many Americans have long suspected—Washington, D.C. is a cesspool of corruption, and the Democrats are the primary beneficiaries.
“I think maybe three-quarters of the graft is Democratic. I think there’s maybe 20–25% that’s Republican,” Musk revealed, exposing how the system is rigged for political elites.
“Most of the graft is going to the Democrats, but they throw some bones to the Republicans too, so then they’re in on it.”
In a shocking but unsurprising exchange, Musk and Rogan discussed the absurd wealth accumulation of members of Congress, who are somehow able to transform their modest $170,000-a-year salaries into multimillion-dollar fortunes.
Musk didn’t hold back, stating, “It’s literally impossible” for these politicians to legally amass such wealth.
(…) Perhaps the most chilling part of the conversation was Musk’s admission that speaking out against the corruption machine could be a death sentence.
Joe Rogan:
Well, especially if it’s legal, and it currently is. You’d be silly not to do it. If you’re part of a group of people that’s passing a bill, and you know this bill is going to get passed, you know the votes are there, and you know it’s going to affect this industry and this particular manufacturer, and you can buy stock…
Elon Musk:
It’s more than just insider trading. The insider trading—the stock portfolio stuff—is quite trackable, but it’s a lot more than that.
Joe Rogan:
The way they’re acquiring wealth?
Elon Musk:
Correct.
Joe Rogan:
And what other methods?
Elon Musk:
I mean, this is really going to get me assassinated. I’m not lengthening my lifespan by explaining this stuff, to say the least. I mean, I was supposed to go back to D.C.—how am I going to survive? This broker is going to kill me for sure. In fact, I do think I actually have to be careful that 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. That’s the issue.
