Elon Musk Compares Himself to the Founder of a Great World Religion
"Elon Musk compared himself to the Buddha only days after President Donald Trump said he’d like to be pope.
“DOGE is a way of life, like Buddhism,” the MAGA billionaire said during an Axios interview in which said he is taking a step back from his cost-cutting scheme. “Buddha isn’t alive anymore. You wouldn’t ask the question: ‘Who would lead Buddhism?’”"
Siddhartha Gautama, commonly referred to as the Buddha and known as the “awakened one,” was a wandering religious ascetic who lived in South Asia during the fifth century B.C. His teachings have inspired generations to live ethically and free themselves from suffering.
And Musk, 53, thinks they’re pretty similar to the gospel of his Department of Government Efficiency.
Musk has confessed that his efforts to slash the federal government haven’t been as successful as he hoped, estimating that $160 billion has been cut of his stated $2 trillion goal. DOGE was set to wrap up on July 4, 2026, but this week the DOGE supremo suggested Trump would extend it until he leaves office."
