Elon Musk Exposes the “Biggest Scam Ever” “I thought it would be bad, but I did not think it would be as bad as this.” 🧵 THREAD

Elon Musk just exposed what he calls the “biggest scam” in U.S. history during his viral appearance on episode #2281 of The Joe Rogan Experience. The focus of the conversation was government waste and abuse—and Musk had plenty to say. Musk quickly dropped a shocker when he revealed that the government handed the Navy $12 billion to build new submarines—and not a single submarine was built. When lawmakers asked where the money went, Navy officials shrugged and said they had no idea—a revelation Musk heard firsthand from Senator Susan Collins (R-Maine). “There’s a case where I think Senator Collins was telling me about how she gave the Navy $12 billion for more submarines, got no extra submarines, and then held a hearing to say where the $12 billion go. “And they were like, we don’t know. That was it. I mean, basically, stuff is so crazy. Only the federal government could get away with this level of waste,” Musk said.

In another eye-opening moment, Musk concluded that the government could save $100 billion a year just by forcing agencies to explain what their payments are actually for. He mentioned how the current system allows the government to send payments with no categorization code, no description, and no explanation—essentially handing out blank checks with zero accountability. Musk compared this to public companies, saying that if a corporation tried the same thing, it would be delisted immediately, and its executives would “be thrown in prison.”

Musk and Rogan extended their outrage to the National Security Agency (NSA), saying they were alarmed to learn that over 100 intelligence staffers spent taxpayer time turning government servers into porn chat rooms instead of protecting the country.

“Your tax dollars at work,” Musk mocked. “That’s not what they should be talking about at all. Supposed to be protecting the country.”

Musk tore apart the “threat to democracy” slogan—calling it a cover for “threat to bureaucracy”—before exposing what he called the “biggest scam ever.”

Biggest scam ever

And that scam is the government’s use of taxpayer-funded NGOs as a loophole to funnel billions of dollars into shadowy, unaccountable organizations—doing things that would be illegal if carried out directly by the government itself.

Musk declared that the term NGO is actually an “oxymoron” because these so-called nongovernmental organizations are funded directly by the government. “The whole NGO thing is a nightmare. And it’s a misnomer because if you have a government-funded nongovernmental organization, you’re simply a government-funded organization. It’s an oxymoron,” Musk explained.

Popular X user and data scientist Jennica Pounds, better known as @DataRepublican, recently blew the lid off an NGO claiming to promote “democracy.” She revealed in a NewsNation exclusive how this particular NGO received $17 million—and “the only thing they did with $17 million was make a terrible muppet show.” “That’s (explicit word)!” she exclaimed.

The NGO, co-founded by Norm Eisen, calls itself the “States United Democracy Center,” and all they could manage to pull off with that $17 million was about 200 views per episode of their knockoff muppet show—something that looked more like a $17,000 production. “They got money, and they did something with that. It was just awful. Jim Henson would roll in his grave. And it was weird because all the videos have less than 200 views,” @DataRepublican explained. “They didn’t even try to promote them with ads or anything. So where did the $17 million go?” She asked.

DataRepublican also recently unmasked the “Uniparty” as a group of NGOs partially funded by your tax dollars. And the one thing they all have in common is that they claim to promote “democracy.” According to her investigation, seven NGOs, heavily backed by USAID and the U.S. State Department, act as the Uniparty’s enforcement arm—pushing propaganda under the guise of “protecting democracy.”

@DataRepublican These groups have shifted their mission from spreading democracy abroad to protecting their own power—redefining “democracy” to mean themselves. Or, as Musk puts it, a threat to “democracy” really means a threat to the bureaucracy.

🧵THE UNIPARTY UNMASKED – They Believe They Are “Democracy” The seven NGOs in the chart below, in my view, represent the Uniparty. Each of these organizations receives substantial financial support from USAID or the Department of State. Around 2019, the phrase “democracy in danger” began to dominate public discourse, amplified by the media. This was odd—after all, the U.S. is a democracy (or more precisely, a constitutional republic). But as I traced the influence of these NGOs, a pattern emerged: they are controlled by establishment politicians, they play a major role in shaping political narratives worldwide, and their core mission is always framed as “protecting democracy.” Originally, these NGOs were created to support U.S. democratic efforts abroad—many of them emerging during the Cold War to combat the spread of communism. But with the fall of the Soviet Union, their original purpose faded. Instead of dissolving, they redefined their mission. Now, they have positioned themselves as the guardians of democracy itself. This shift explains why Trump’s re-election was framed as a "threat to democracy." To these NGOs, “democracy” means themselves. Their survival depends on maintaining that role, and any challenge to their authority is perceived as a direct attack on democracy itself.

@DataRepublican During today’s conversation, Rogan asked Musk what he expected to uncover when he first launched DOGE to expose government waste. Musk replied, “I thought it would be bad, but I did not think it would be as bad as this.” Watch the full episode below: youtube.com/watch?v=sSOxPJ…

10 Shocking Stories the Media Buried Today #10 - Persuasion expert bets his career on the COVID response being a full-blown psyop. JOE ROGAN: “Do you think that someone sat in a room and that people discussed the best ways to get people to comply?” CHASE HUGHES: “Yes. Oh, yes. I would bet my career because it was executed following textbook protocol.” Hughes explained that the key sign of a psyop is “if the opinion that’s coming out needs people to be silenced.” “So if you can’t question it—if you’re supposed to just go along, it’s a psyop,” Hughes reiterated. During COVID, terms like “disinformation” and “misinformation” flooded the airwaves, but those terms were often weaponized to discredit voices and opinions the government didn’t like. Doctors like Jay Bhattacharya and Martin Kulldorff, respected scientists at Stanford and Harvard, were silenced simply for challenging lockdowns through the Great Barrington Declaration. “And it was openly discussed in emails,” Rogan pointed out. “That’s what’s really crazy. They talked about the strategy of silencing these people, and then you had the actual government itself contacting Twitter, trying to get people removed, which is wild.” They even went as far as to write headlines like “Mocking anti-vaxxers’ COVID deaths is ghoulish, yes — but may be necessary” (LA Times). “My hope is that people have learned from this past four years and that this is an eye-opener,” Rogan said.
