Tarlov Left Speechless After Musk Torches Her Government Claims [WATCH]
SHARE

Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, faced a pointed question from Jessica Tarlov, the sole left-leaning panelist on Fox News’ “The Five,” regarding his role with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and the subsidies his companies receive from the government.

Tarlov, attempting to corner Musk with a line of questioning that echoed Democrat talking points, inquired about the intersection of government contracts, regulatory scrutiny, and the financial support Tesla receives.

Tarlov began by claiming that her family is a big fan of Tesla, as if it provided context for her line of questioning, and then pivoted to a more accusatory tone.

“You’ve been making cuts to a lot of the agencies that have open investigations and regulatory battles with your companies. At the same time, you continue to get billions in government contracts. Tesla gets billions in subsidies. How do you explain that to the American people?”

Elon Musk Called This Financial News ‘Terrifying’

Musk, unfazed, quickly responded by pushing back on the suggestion of any wrongdoing. Musk stated:

“Well, everything that DOGE does is an open book.”

This reinforced his stance on transparency and the accessibility of information. “I think [we’re] the most transparent organization in government ever. Every single DOGE action is listed on the doge.gov website. It’s also listed on the X handle. So if anyone has a concern about any one of those actions, they can bring that up; they can raise that.”

Rather than sidestepping the question, Musk took the opportunity to emphasize the importance of transparency and accountability in government dealings. He also acknowledged that mistakes can happen, but stressed the importance of correcting them promptly.

“I do wanna say, sometimes we make a mistake. Nobody bats a thousand,” Musk admitted. “We will, at times, make a mistake, and if we make a mistake, we’ll act very quickly to correct it.”

Musk also pointed out the level of scrutiny he operates under, explaining that the intense public and media attention makes it nearly impossible to engage in any nefarious activity.

“I am under such an extreme spotlight, so much scrutiny, that it is literally impossible for me to get away with anything nefarious. And obviously, nor do I wish to.”

This response effectively defused Tarlov’s attempt to trap him, turning the moment into an opportunity to underscore his commitment to transparency. Musk further emphasized the level of accountability he holds himself and his organization to.

“We have radical transparency,” he said. “Often people are not willing to admit they make mistakes, but we are. But we want to emphasize we fix them quickly, and we’re trying to do the right thing for the American taxpayer, for the American people. And I think history will be the judge that what we’ve done here and what we’re doing is a very good thing for the strength and future of America.”

Musk’s response highlighted not only his leadership at DOGE but also his broader commitment to accountability. By focusing on transparency and the rapid correction of mistakes, Musk turned Tarlov’s question into a lesson on responsible governance, leaving her with little to counter his points.

The exchange also highlighted an ongoing frustration on the left, where accusations against Musk and his companies are often framed without considering key facts.

For instance, the government contracts Tesla has received were authorized under President Joe Biden’s administration, not President Donald Trump’s, a fact that many on the left choose to overlook.

Additionally, Musk’s SpaceX has revolutionized the space industry by making space travel more affordable and accessible.

Despite SpaceX’s success and its role in rescuing astronauts from the International Space Station—an effort that came after the Biden administration left them stranded—left-wing critics continue to weaponize government contracts for political purposes.

This ongoing hypocrisy illustrates the left’s relentless attempts to undermine Musk’s contributions to American innovation and progress.

Musk’s response serves as a reminder that, despite political opposition and frequent scrutiny, his commitment to transparency and improving American industries remains unwavering.

As he continues to lead companies that shape the future of space exploration and sustainable energy, Musk’s focus on accountability and the American people’s best interests will likely continue to make him a target for political attacks—yet his response on Wednesday shows he’s not backing down anytime soon.
