Elon Musk addresses threats to his life and Tesla from ‘bad people’ over controversial reform

The richest person in the world, Elon Musk, has claimed that “bad people” wanted to assassinate him due to Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) reforms.

According to AA, the tech gaint on Tuesday, March 18, 2025, said that people wanted to kill him and destroy his electronic vehicle company Tesla over because DOGE efforts are stopping them from fraud and corruption.

Speaking to Fox News, he told Sean Hannity, “It turns out when you take away people’s, you know, the money that they’re receiving fraudulently, they get very upset.”

“And they basically want to kill me because I’m stopping their fraud, and they want to hurt Tesla because we’re stopping the terrible waste and corruption in the government. And, well, I guess they’re bad people. Bad people do bad things,” he added.

Talking about Tesla, he said that it is a “peaceful company” that has never done anything harmful, asserting that he has also only done productive things. “So there’s some kind of mental illness thing going on because this doesn’t make any sense.”

Notably, Musk and Tesla have been facing backlash in the recent week due to DOGE head’s aggressive push to reduce the federal bureaucracy.
