Elon Musk revisited an interview conducted after the 2024 election during which he disclosed receiving alarming threats from Democrats attempting to compel him to shut down X, the social media platform that contributed to Donald Trump’s success.

Liberals are still in shock over the extent of ‘first buddy’ Musk’s powerful position within the federal government, and he’s leaning into it.

Musk is leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and helping Trump slash the federal workforce and overhaul Washington.

Speaking with Tucker Carlson on November 6, the head of Tesla and SpaceX highlighted that his social media platform, acquired and revamped in 2022, serves as the primary platform where individuals can access the ‘truth.’

The interview that Musk referred to was shared on X on Monday through an account affiliated with a Tesla Owners club in Silicon Valley, which has now amassed a significant following and primarily shares content supportive of Elon Musk.

The billionaire reposted the clip to his account on President’s Day.

It’s curious timing as Musk finds himself embroiled in a scandal after MAGA influencer Ashley St. Clair, 26, came forward on Friday to claim she secretly gave birth to his 13th child.

He even removed a post from X by St. Clair after she publicly accused him of ignoring her attempts to get in contact with him.

‘Musk was very funny. He was smart. He was very down to Earth. It started with X interactions and he slid into my DMs. I think it was a meme,’ St. Clair detailed how the back and forth soon blossomed into a clandestine romance to the New York Post.

‘I was told to keep it secret. I was being asked to keep it a secret forever,’ she admitted while declining to provide proof of Musk’s paternity.

However, she turned bitter after Elon apparently started ignoring her attempts to get in communication. 

‘Elon, we have been trying to communicate for the past several days and you have not responded,’ St. Clair wrote on X, taking aim at Musk’s alleged lack of engagement on the matter.

‘When are you going to reply to us instead of publicly responding to smears from an individual who just posted photos of me in underwear at 15 years old?’

Within the hour, St. Clair’s biting response was removed from X, Musk’s platform.

Musk has still not directly commented yet on the claims.

But he did post to X on Monday morning a four-hour podcast episode about the Mongols where he praised its leader Genghis Kahn, who was known for having multiple wives and so many children that there are thoughts most of Asia has some of his lineage.

‘For some reason, I find the history of Genghis Kahn particularly interesting,’ the father-of-12 wrote on X.

He also continued to post his usual content, including the months-old interview with Carlson.

The former Fox News host suggested that threats began coming out against Musk because he refused to bend to liberal pressure to censor or regulate X in the same way it was when it was still Twitter under Jack Dorsey.

‘X played a pivotal role not just in this election but in keeping the country alive,’ Carlson credited.

Musk replied: ‘X is the one place where you can find out the truth.’

‘The only place,’ the former Fox News host countered, to which Musk agreed: ‘Yeah.’ 

Carlson asked: ‘So how much pressure has there been on you to shut it down – to censor it?’

‘Well, apart from the multiple Democrats saying that I should go – they want to put me in jail, take away all the government contracts from my companies, nationalize my companies, deport me as an illegal and have me arrested because I’m apparently Putin’s best friend. Nothing, besides those things,’ the X CEO sarcastically quipped.

Ever since the 2024 election win, Musk has been inseparable for Trump and became known as the ‘first buddy’ to the president once he took office last month.

Musk was appointed to lead DOGE and in his role has already helped shut down USAID, cut billions in government contracts including at the Department of Education and National Institutes of Health and forced thousands of federal workers back to the office full-time.

He also sparked the firing of four top financial officials at FEMA after revealing the agency paid $59 million to luxury New York City hotels to house illegal immigrants – funds that DHS clawed-backed this month.

In the clip of a sit-down with Carlson, Musk specifically called out liberal MSNBC host Rachel Maddow for being a ‘crazy fascist’ who wants him stripped from leaving his companies that made him a billionaire.

‘Rachel Maddow is a crazy person,’ Musk claimed. ‘You know, she’s just a frothing-at-the-mouth, crazy fascist, basically. Dressed as – sort of pretending to be a liberal.’

‘imagine if she was in charge of, actually in a position of power. How crazy would that be?’ he added.

Carlson claimed: ‘Well many people would die.’

‘Yes,’ Musk concurred.

The interview was posted to X on Monday by an account dedicated to a Tesla Owners club in Silicon Valley that has now become highly-followed and mostly posts pro-Elon Musk content.
