American billionaire Ilon Musk, heading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), said that “bad people” want to kill him.
In recent weeks, in the center of criticism, due to its efforts to reduce the federal bureaucracy, Musk gave an interview to Fox News.
“When you take the money from people that they received fraudulently, it turns out that they are very upset,” he said.
Musk also noted that they want to kill him because he stops their fraud.
“They also want to harm Tesla because we are fighting with tremendous expenses and corruption in the government. And, it seems to me, these are just bad people. And bad people do bad things,” he said.
Musk emphasized that his company Tesla is peaceful.
“I have never done anything harmful. I created only useful things. I think that some madness is involved here,” the billionaire admitted.
He also noted that protests were never held against him before.
“I think, much larger forces are involved here. Who finances this? Who is coordinating? Because it is just madness. I have never seen anything like it before,” he said.
Protests for Tesla car dealerships
Since the beginning of the month, Tesla car dealerships have been protests in various regions of the United States, where Musk has been holding the post of general director (CEO). During the demonstrations, several people were detained.
In response to this, President Donald Trump, who appointed Mask as his senior adviser, expressed his support by buying a Tesla car.
Trump also stated that the acts of violence against Tesla car dealerships will be qualified as “internal terrorism”, and their participants will incur serious consequences.
