Elon Musk exposes Soros ‘grift’ to secure billions in federal funding for NGOs

March 1, 2025 | | Print Article

Elon Musk’s latest appearance with Joe Rogan didn’t pull punches on George Soros, dark money and the “alternate reality” of corporate media.

Surprising no one, the efforts of the Department of Government Efficiency to expose waste, fraud and abuse had garnered intense, coordinated pushback from the establishment which included politicians, pundits and union allies. During his latest sit down for “The Joe Rogan Experience,” the world’s richest man called out blatant biases and the infamous spooky dude’s ability to “leverage” the government like a “grafting machine.”

“George Soros is like a system hacker…He is a genius at arbitrage,” Musk said at one point of the Open Society Foundations founder. “He figured out that you could leverage a small amount of money to create a nonprofit, then lobby the politicians to send a ton of money to that nonprofit so you can take what might be a $10 million donation…and leverage it into a $1 billion NGO.”

“Then the government continues to fund that every year, and it will have a nice sounding name like ‘The Institute for Peace’  or something like that, but really it’s a grafting machine,” ripped the SpaceX CEO.

The corruption callout came in the wake of revelations that the Soros-backed non-governmental organization Indivisible had been coordinating outrage over DOGE efforts, including targeting GOP town halls and phone banks.

“We refuse to let them hide,” read the NGO’s website that detailed when congressmen were expected to be returning to their home districts. “Every Republican must feel the heat for their complicity in the Trump-Musk coup. Every Democrat must know that we’ve got their backs when they fight back.”

Of course, the concern over billionaire influence remained fixated on those backing the GOP and strayed from covering Soros or BlackRock CEO Larry Fink’s involvement behind the scenes on the left.

Musk spoke to the bias evident in corporate media coverage when he told Rogan, “The media is incredibly partisan.”

“Almost all the media is left shifted. It’s kinda weird, if you talk to somebody who gets all their information from, like what I call legacy media, they’re living in a different world than if they are listening to your podcast or getting news from X,” he went on, even referring to The Associated Press as “Associated Propaganda.”

“It’s like they ‘re living in an alternate reality,” said the adviser to President Donald Trump.

Adding emphasis to his point that corporate media was not to be trusted, Musk shared a meme featuring Will Ferrell as Ron Burgundy, the main character of the “Anchorman” films, that highlighted reporting demonizing the president after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had been called out for his disrespect during an Oval Office appearance.

“We have lied about everything,” stated the post. “However the Ukraine coverage is all true.”

The conversation also included Musk making light of some of the attacks that had been leveled against him as the billionaire and Rogan laughed over accusations that hand gesture somehow made him a “Nazi.”
