For context, after Donald Trump won his second presidential term, Musk was appointed as the head of DOGE. Since then, the Tesla CEO and his team have made consistent efforts to monitor issues related to federal spending.

I actually have to be careful that I don't push too hard on the corruption stuff because it's going to get me killed."
