Elon Musk believes the 'biggest threat’ to US citizens is…
Tesla CEO Elon Musk
Elon Musk has once again sparked buzz on the social media, this time by reacting to a post about the dangers of rising the US government debt. A recent Twitter post by author Scott Adams said, “Biggest threat to the citizens of the United States is uncontrolled government spending creating ruinous debt.” The Tesla and SpaceX CEO quoted the post, resharing it with two American flag emojis. While Elon Musk didn’t add any words to his post, his use of emojis of American flags seemed to signal agreement with the concerns raised by Scott Adams in his post. The billionaire has often spoken against excessive government interference and is currently leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to reduce federal spending and what he terms as: Waste, fraud and abuse. The original Twitter post claimed that America is already on the edge of a major debt crisis and suggested that DOGE could be a possible solution. “We are already looking into the abyss on debt. There is no time to dawdle. The only possible solution is DOGE, which is making progress,” the post said.

“The main goal of Democrats is to stop DOGE. No one has asked a prominent Democrat or a Tesla demonstrator to explain that position,” it further added.
Elon Musk, as mentioned above, is currently leading DOGE to uncover millions in what he deems ‘wasteful’ government spending. DOGE was established by US President Donald Trump through an executive order on January 20. Earlier this week, a Politico report said that Trump has informed his Cabinet and close associates that Musk would soon step down from his government role. The report also mentioned that the president and the billionaire had recently agreed that Musk would refocus on his business ventures. While Trump somewhat confirmed in an interview earlier this week that Elon Musk would be stepping away from government matters, he disputed the specifics of how the report described it.Refuting the report, Musk responded to it with the comments ‘Yeah, fake news’.Recently, Elon Musk clashed with Trump's trade advisor Peter Navarro over tariffs, defending Tesla’s manufacturing. Musk fired back on X, citing data showing Tesla dominates the top spots on the American-Made Index.
