Elon Musk's pod with Rogan yesterday is mind-blowing.

They discussed:

• The chances of Musk being assassinated
• Who's really protecting the Epstein files
• Why AI could end humanity by 2030

Let me save you 3 hours — here are the 12 most important things they talked about🧵

1. The scale of government waste is worse than anyone imagined.

$1.9 billion was sent to an NGO formed just a year ago with almost no prior activity.

The US government is losing $2 trillion per year, failing its own audits.

And it gets even worse:

Treasury payments worth nearly $5 trillion annually had no categorization codes or descriptions - essentially blank, untraceable checks.

A change as simple as making payment codes mandatory could save $100 billion yearly.

And here's DOGE's most shocking discovery:

[ransomnote: There's a 54 second video clip of Musk explaining to Rogan the lack of descriptions on treasury funding which Musk described as 'blank checks']

18h
DOGE found 20M dead people marked as alive in Social Security databases.

While they weren't directly receiving payments, their "alive" status enabled fraud through disability claims, unemployment, and fake medical payments.

This is potentially the biggest scam in human history.

[ransomnote: There's a 1:02 second clip of Musk explaining that the identities of those deceased but marked as alive can then qualify for other benefits.]

2. What's really happening with immigration?

Elon believes Democratic leadership is using immigration as a voter recruitment strategy:

In swing states where elections are decided by ~20,000 votes, adding 200,000 immigrants who vote Democrat could alter the political landscape.

[ransomnote: There's a 1:14 video clip in which Musk describes Dem purchasing votes essentially and say its an attempt to destroy the country]

FEMA, designed to help Americans during disasters, was paying for luxury hotels for illegal immigrants in New York - even AFTER Trump signed an executive order to stop it.

[ransomnote: There's a 1:11 clip of Musk talking about halting the FEMA payment to luxury hotels and the NY Government sued. Even after Trump ordered these payments to stop, FEMA still 'pressed send' on 80 million dollars in payments.]

March 1, 2025

 

Fernando Cao
@thefernandocz
3. Musk had a shocking realization about X (Twitter).

If he hadn't bought the platform, Trump would have never been allowed back, Alex Jones would have remained banned, and Musk's own account could've been suspended.

The 2024 election might have had an entirely different outcome as a result.

[ransomnote: There's a 1:23 clip of Rogan asking Musk to imagine what life would have been like if he hadn't bought Twitter]

4. Musk's Mars timeline has accelerated dramatically.

SpaceX will launch several Starships to Mars by the end of next year (November/December 2025).

The goal: determine if they can successfully land intact before sending humans.

But why the urgency?

[ransomnote: There's a 1:06 clip of Musk explaining Mars mission plans]

March 1, 2025 

 

Fernando Cao
@thefernandocz
Mars missions face a fundamental time constraint. Each Earth-Mars orbital synchronization occurs every 26 months.

Musk believes we have about 15 such opportunities (roughly 30 years) to establish a self-sufficient civilization on Mars before Earth potentially faces civilization collapse.

[ransomnote: There's a 1:21 clip of Musk describing the Mars mission time frame]

March 1, 2025

 

Fernando Cao
@thefernandocz
5. The SpaceX astronaut rescue mission finally has a timeline.

The stranded astronauts who've been in space for 8 months (instead of the planned 8 days) will be rescued in ~4 weeks.

Musk revealed that Biden rejected earlier rescue offers for political reasons.

[ransomnote: There's a 1:03 clip of Musk describing the planned fligh and that SpaceX has been transfering people to the space station for about a year, and have transported 50 people so far]

March 1, 2025

 

Fernando Cao @thefernandocz

6. On AI, Musk made his most alarming prediction yet:

We'll have AI smarter than any human within a year or two.

By 2029-2030, we'll likely have AI smarter than all humans combined.

But there's a fascinating silver lining to this existential threat...

[ransomnote: There's a 1:31 clip of Musk discussing AI intelligence]

March 1, 2025

 

Fernando Cao

19h
Musk estimates that there's an 80% chance AI will benefit humanity. The other 20%? Complete annihilation.

His biggest worry isn't AI itself, but AI programmed with extremist values — Elon wants to avoid a world where AI "executes people for misgendering."

7. On the Epstein files, Musk didn't hold back.

The lack of transparency around the Epstein client list raises serious questions.

If Ghislaine Maxwell is in jail for sex trafficking, who exactly was she trafficking to?

But powerful interests are preventing disclosure...

[ransomnote: There's a 1:20 second clip of Rogan asking 'How can you put someone in jail for trafficking without ever naming to whom. Musk remarked it's 'common knowledge' and yet, where is the proof etc.]

March 1, 2025


Fernando Cao
@thefernandocz
8. SpaceX is working on a technological breakthrough that's never been achieved before.

The Starship must solve fully reusable orbital heat shields - a problem no one has solved.

The heat shield tiles are as brittle as coffee cups but must withstand both extreme cold (liquid oxygen at -330°F) and reentry heat (potentially 1000+°F).

[ransomnote: There's a 2:02 clip of Musk describing the complexity of creating the heat shield tiles.]

March 1, 2025

 

Fernando Cao
@thefernandocz
9. Government's structure makes reform nearly impossible.

Musk compared it to becoming captain of a ship where the entire crew was previously your enemy.

This explains the slow pace of promised transparency:

Even high-level appointees like Kash Patel face institutional resistance when trying to release classified information.

[ransomnote: There's a 56 second clip of Musk saying he thinks Patel and Bondi are great, but they just got there, and they are in a hostile environment. He thinks we should give them a little slack there and says it's like you're the captain of a ship and everyone around you was until now, your mortal enemy.]

10. Musk fears assassination.

Two separate incidents involved people traveling to Austin to kill him before his political involvement.

Now with mainstream media portraying him as a "Nazi," he believes the risk has risen.

He's careful about how hard he pushes on corruption.

[ransomnote: There's a 1:42 clip in which Rogan asks Musk about what his experience has been like with so much at stake/responsibility. Musk says 'stressful'. Rogan says 'These are real enemies' and Musk says there are posts on Reddit not just saying they want to kill him, but that they want to desecrate his corpse. Musk describes the hate his receiving as an 'anti-body' response and mentions them calling him a Nazi, and then justifying killing him because he's a Nazi. Musk asks why did the Trump shooter try to kill the President.]

March 1, 2025

 

Fernando Cao
@thefernandocz
11. The Trump assassination attempt mysteries remain troubling.

The shooter's house was "professionally scrubbed" with no cutlery or personal items.

He had five phones at age 20, and his digital footprint was almost completely erased.

Strange.

[ransomnote: There's a clip of Rogan and Musk wondering about the assasin - Rogan notes that there was evidence that a cell phone had been tracked leaving the FBI and visiting the shooter's home prior to the attempt. Musk notes the same of Epstein phone records - saying they were precise enough to tell which path a person walked along on Epstein's island. ]

March 1, 2025

@thefernandocz
12. Musk believes our future requires becoming multiplanetary.

For the first time in Earth's 4.5 billion year history, we can extend consciousness beyond our home planet.

This window may not stay open long - civilization could collapse from war, natural disaster, or simply population decline.

Mars is our insurance policy.

[ransomnote: There's a 1:16 clip of Musk explaining Mars as a strategy]

Official US govt portrait of Nigerian Wally Adeyomo, Biden’s US Treasury hire.
Adeyomo is an experienced Democrat and more than proved his worth.
<>he was Biden’s US Treasury hire,
<>Adeyemo abruptly quit Treasury when Trump came in.
<>Ademeyo refused to handover documents chronicling his Treasury activities
<>he quit Treasury leaving $4.7 trillion in unidentified Treasury payments.
<>the Nigerian once headed Obama’s “Foundation” which made Obama “a billionaire.”
<>probably why Obama wont discuss his Foundation finances.

In addition to the huge problems that Musk discussed regarding the astronomical DeepState corruption, there are two other problems which seriously prevent Trump, his administration, and succeeding administrations from cleaning up the federal government:

1. Getting people (including educating students) to recognize that what has occurred is not simply corruption, but treason against the United States of America.

2. The willingness and abililty to bring the traitors to trial and conviction, and the willingness and ability to carry out the sentence on those convicted. Part of this ability will be to deal with the traitorous Demonicrat and RINOcrat judges that have been placed in the federal court system to stop any attempt to bring Justice to the guilty (including themselves).

Musk’s Mars timeline has accelerated dramatically. SpaceX will launch several Starships to Mars by the end of next year (November/December 2025).


Not sure about sending ships to Mars next year, since 15 refuelings are needed just to get to the moon. And the refueling concept for StarShip exists only on paper, and any attempt will be multiple StarShips Flights down the road. ( Refueling is needed because StarShip is massively heavy, not light composite as are other rockets ).


StarShip Flight 8 Monday March 3, 4 CT.

I may watch it, I may not. Thanks for the summary.

One thing. This

“Mars is our insurance policy.”

is lunacy. The only way humans can survive a Mars trip is with a major leap in propulsion technology and either transporting the hardware necessary for boring underground habitats or the ability to manufacture both the hardware and materials required for underground habitat construction.

Assuming, of course, that a source of fresh water is found and secured.

Beyond all that, it’s either fantasy or a suicide mission.

I respect what Musk is trying to do here on Earth, nothing more, besides innovation and vision (not lunacy...presuming that our government isn’t already in possession of such technology).

Mars will never be able to support human life long term and en mass.

As brilliant as Musk is, I cannot believe he does not see this.

The obstacles to life on Mars for long term en mass are just too great.

Like living on the sun will never be possible. Only difference is degree.

Yeah - put me down for saying this.

The 20 million dead people are also on voter rolls. Along with how many millions of illegals. Once this is all cleaned up, the left will be proven to be about 25% of this country and every state will be red without voter fraud.

Musk wants to go to Mars. O’Neill wanted to build an orbiting space cylinder. Why not do both?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/O%27Neill_cylinder

An O’Neill cylinder (also called an O’Neill colony, or Island Three) is a space settlement concept proposed by American physicist Gerard K. O’Neill in his 1976 book The High Frontier: Human Colonies in Space.

O’Neill proposed the colonization of space for the 21st century, using materials extracted from the Moon and later from asteroids.

Artist’s depiction of a pair of O’Neill cylinders

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Spacecolony1.jpg

Interior view, showing alternating land and window segments
An O’Neill cylinder would consist of two counter-rotating cylinders. The cylinders would rotate in opposite directions to cancel any gyroscopic effects that would otherwise make it difficult to keep them aimed toward the Sun.

Each would be 6.4 kilometers (4 mi) or 8.0 kilometers (5 mi) in diameter and 32 kilometers (20 mi) long, connected at each end by a rod via a bearing system. Their rotation would provide artificial gravity.
