Elon Musk just exposed what he calls the “biggest scam” in U.S. history during his viral appearance on episode #2281 of The Joe Rogan Experience.
The focus of the conversation was government waste and abuse—and Musk had plenty to say.
Musk quickly dropped a shocker when he revealed that the government handed the Navy $12 billion to build new submarines—and not a single submarine was built.
When lawmakers asked where the money went, Navy officials shrugged and said they had no idea—a revelation Musk heard firsthand from Senator Susan Collins (R-Maine).
“There’s a case where I think Senator Collins was telling me about how she gave the Navy $12 billion for more submarines, got no extra submarines, and then held a hearing to say where the $12 billion go.
“And they were like, we don’t know. That was it. I mean, basically, stuff is so crazy. Only the federal government could get away with this level of waste,” Musk said.
