Musk's comment came during a Fox News He appeared with Sean Hannity on Tuesday night.
“I think it's really a shock to me that there's this level of hatred and violence from the left,” he said. “I've always been thought of as the left as a party of sympathy, a party of compassion, but they're burning cars, fire distributors, they're firing bullets at dealers, they're destroying Tesla. Tesla is a peaceful company.
“I think there's a lot of power in the workplace too. So who's adjusting the funds and who's adjusting it because it's crazy. I've never seen anything like this,” he continued.
“When you take people, the money they receive fraudulently, they're very upset. And they basically want to kill me because I'm stopping their scams.
Meanwhile, Doge claims it has found $115 billion in waste, fraud and abuse within the federal government.
This figure comes from a combination of cancellation of contract leases and suspension of fraudulent payments, which also cancels subsidies.
The largest savings reportedly come from the General Services Department, Education Department and Environmental Protection Department.
Doge has also discovered a large number of suspicious taxpayer dollars that are attracting attention from USAID. It focuses on foreign aid programs while citizen debt exceeds $36 trillion.
“We have so much higher costs on our debt, so only interest payments on our debt exceed the entire military budget,” Musk said. “And it was just out of control. That's why the country was bankrupt.”
“The country is not different from people,” Musk added. “If a country spends too much and isn't doing it wisely, like a person, it will go bankrupt.”
