Elon Musk just dropped a bombshell on the Joe Rogan Experience, confirming what many Americans have long suspected—Washington, D.C. is a cesspool of corruption, and the Democrats are the primary beneficiaries.
“I think maybe three-quarters of the graft is Democratic. I think there’s maybe 20–25% that’s Republican,” Musk revealed, exposing how the system is rigged for political elites.
“Most of the graft is going to the Democrats, but they throw some bones to the Republicans too, so then they’re in on it.”
In a shocking but unsurprising exchange, Musk and Rogan discussed the absurd wealth accumulation of members of Congress, who are somehow able to transform their modest $170,000-a-year salaries into multimillion-dollar fortunes.
Musk didn’t hold back, stating, “It’s literally impossible” for these politicians to legally amass such wealth.
The conversation inevitably turned to one of the most notorious examples of Washington corruption: former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and his husband Paul Pelosi.
It can be recalled that Paul Pelosi dumped over $500,000 worth of Visa stock just weeks before the Department of Justice slapped the financial giant with an antitrust lawsuit.
Following the lawsuit’s announcement, Visa’s stock price plummeted by 5.5%, leading to speculation about the timing of Pelosi’s stock sale.
Former President Donald Trump has publicly called for Nancy Pelosi to face prosecution over the transaction, suggesting that the sale was not coincidental.
“Nancy Pelosi sold vast amounts of Visa stock one day before the big lawsuit that we all read about a few days ago,” Trump said. “She should be prosecuted… Nancy Pelosi should be prosecuted for that.”
This incident is not isolated. The Pelosis have a history of fortuitously timed trades that have consistently outperformed the market, leading to widespread speculation about the use of nonpublic information for personal gain.
For instance, in 2023, their investment portfolio reportedly achieved a 65% return, significantly surpassing the S&P 500’s 24% gain.
Moreover, in 2022, Paul Pelosi purchased over $1 million in Nvidia call options just weeks before a congressional vote on substantial subsidies to the chip manufacturing industry, raising further eyebrows about potential conflicts of interest.
In the same year, Paul Pelosi dumped 20,000 shares of Google stock in December—a month before the Department of Justice and Merrick Garland filed their antitrust lawsuit.
Nancy Pelosi has consistently denied any wrongdoing, asserting that she does not own any stocks and has no involvement in her husband’s financial transactions.
