Elon Musk Targets $4 Billion Daily Government Waste, Criticizes NGOs and Woke Mind Virus, Advocates Meritocracy

Elon Musk has reiterated his commitment to combating government waste and fraud, stating that his goal is to reduce $4 billion in daily waste and fraud, a target he claims is being met. He attributes the backlash and hostility he faces to his efforts in eliminating corruption and inefficiency, emphasizing that without former President Donald Trump, these efforts would not be possible. Musk has also intensified his criticism of government-funded non-governmental organizations (NGOs), labeling them as potential sources of fraud. In addition to his anti-corruption stance, Musk has strongly criticized what he terms the "woke mind virus," which he describes as a societal focus on identity factors such as gender and race over merit and skills.

He advocates for a return to meritocracy, where job performance and skill are paramount regardless of gender, race, or beliefs. Musk compares the "woke mind virus" to a form of religion that fills a void left by the decline of traditional religion in secular society. He has expressed determination to eradicate this mindset, asserting that principles matter more than money. Musk also claims that his efforts to stop fraud have made him a target, with adversaries wanting to harm him and Tesla due to the impact on government waste and corruption.
