Elon Musk appeared in a new episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience” on Friday.
Musk and host Joe Rogan, both well -known supporters of President Donald Trump, held a wide interview that covered many of the hottest topics of the year, including Doge, he and Musk’s Alleged Nazi sails.
While it is not the first time of CEO and Tesla on the show, much has changed since its last November appearance, which came shortly before the US election.
Here you have a closer look at five of the main moments from the episode.
1. Duplicating in the pigeon
Rogan and Musk are understood to have passed a large part of the interview by discussing the Government Efficiency Department.
The head agency Musk has made the title after the title in recent weeks after continuing to hit the US government in its effort to cut costs.
The US Agency for International Development (USAID) – the government agency responsible for foreign aid – entered for special criticism, with Musk questioning the effectiveness of its work.
He said that while the agency did some good, “90, 95%” of its work was not.
“It may be the type of things where you type of Ebola fund prevention, but it turns out that in fact, you are funding a new Ebola lab,” he said, adding: “They claim to be the prevention of Ebola, but it is the creation of Ebola.”
He told Rogan that Doge had continued to fund things that “seem to be legal”, but that the government should not send money to taxpayers to “suspicious enterprises abroad”.
The Director General of Spacex also touched on changes in Treasury Department payment systems.
Doge has requested to implement new reporting requests for government payments at the exit and make the payment categorization codes mandatory.
“There must be an explanation,” he told Rogan. “We are not judging the quality of the explanation, but there must be some explanations for what this payment is for nothing above. This is a radical change in the system that is being implemented now.”
“My assumption is that it probably saves $ 100 billion a year,” he added.
2. Social security is a ‘ponzi scheme’
Musk also removed the great social security criticism, the pension and disability benefit program, calling it “the largest Ponzi scheme of all time”.
“Basically, people are living longer than expected, and there are fewer babies who have been born, so you have more retired and long -lived people and receive retirement payments,” Musk said.
“Have you ever seen the debt time?” He went on. “It has our debt today, but then there is our future obligations. So when you look at future social security obligations, the current national debt is twice what people think is due to future obligations.”
A report from the trusted Social and Medicare Board last year revealed that the program would be able to pay full benefits for the next 11 years.
“However bad the financial situation is now for the federal government, it will be much worse in the future,” Musk added.
The billionaire has long announced the risks associated with the decline in birth levels, saying in 2022 that it was “the greatest risk that civilization faces so far”.
3. ‘I’m not Nazi’
The interview also addressed that the widespread Musk received charges after allegations that he made a Nazi greeting last month.
As he spoke in front of the crowd at the trump’s inauguration celebration in January, Musk made a gesture that made many ask if he had intended to make a fascist greeting.
“Hopefully, people realize that I’m not Nazi,” Musk said, adding: “Now I can never tell things diagonally.”
He also called the portrayal of Legacy Media for the incident “Coordinated Propaganda”.
4. He
Another theme presented by Rogan was, perhaps inevitably, artificial intelligence.
The Pairift began things discussing Openai-Firma Musk joined in 2015 and has been in the heart of his long quarrel with CEO Sam Altman-Mus Musm again criticizing the company’s efforts to become a lucrative business.
Musk later said he thought he could have a role in the government, though he did not expand to what he could perform.
However, Musk added that he would worry if he would become a “super -oppressive nanny that is all -powerful”.
“That would be a deplorable result,” he said.
Hitting a more positive note, the billionaire also told Rogan that he thought he had “just a 20% chance of annihilation” with him.
“The probability of a good result is like 80%,” he said, adding that he still thought he would be smarter than humans and that technology would pose an existential danger.
At the beginning of this month, the beginning of that of Musk Xai released Grok 3 chatbot, which he followed as “the smartest on earth”.
Three Xai employees recently told Business Insider that the firm planned to hire thousands this year to help Grok’s training.
5. Safety Cleaning ‘All-Acquisi’
Elsewhere in the interview, Rogan asked Musk if he believed there was a secret program that included protection contractors aimed at developing “advanced push systems” for drones.
Musk said he did not believe that senior defense companies such as Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin and Boeing had developed such systems, claiming that he had “the equivalent of a comprehensive transition from a security clearance” and that he did not think they were hiding from him.
“Spacex has the most advanced missile technology in the world. I think I would know,” he said. “For the best of my knowledge, there is no super advanced pushing technology.”
