"What the f*** is Elon doing there?" — Reportedly by Trump, March 2025
Let’s keep it 100—Elon Musk is not Team America. He’s Team Elon. MAGA voters didn’t elect him, and they sure as hell didn’t authorize him to be the shadow president whispering ketamine fumes and Starlink contracts into Trump’s ear. Yet here we are: the richest man on Earth with Chinese factories, satellite armies, and a massive malfunctioning EV empire is holding a seat at the table while America bleeds silver and inches closer to resource subservience.
This is not how you build a Golden Age. This is how you sell it out.
A Trojan Horse in a Tesla Trenchcoat
From running DOGE to influencing tariffs, infrastructure, and defense procurement, Musk’s fingers are in every cookie jar in D.C. He’s not just consulting—he’s actively shaping policy. And yet, the one thing America desperately needs—a national silver stockpile—is nowhere on the Trump agenda. Wonder why? Musk needs silver for himself.
Musk is not just refusing to elevate silver—he’s actively undermining the need to secure it. Why? Because when silver is available, he wins. When it’s stockpiled or nationalized, his costs skyrocket and availability becomes unobtanium.
Elon’s China Problem Is America’s Silver Problem
Let’s not play dumb. Musk’s Gigafactory in Shanghai isn’t some PR stunt. It’s a pipeline to a geopolitical adversary who’s been cornering the rare earth and silver markets for years. Every ounce of silver America fails to lock down is another ounce Musk might prefer to source from China.
"He’s a great patriot. He’s paying a big price for helping us cut costs." — Trump
Except he's not. He’s finding ways of cutting costs by outsourcing manufacturing to nations that don’t have America's back. And the more embedded Musk gets in federal policy, the more likely we are to see silver follow the same path as solar panels—straight to Beijing.
Silver Is a Critical Mineral No One is Talking About
We’re talking:
- Submarines using up to 8 tons of silver per unit
- Torpedoes with 50kg each
- Starlink satellites at 6–18kg per unit
- Photovoltaics for military UAVs and off-grid bases
- Missiles, sensors, communications arrays—all silver-intensive
SILVERWARS
And that’s just existing weapons. Add in AI-driven autonomous warfare, next-gen energy infrastructure, and solar-based surveillance platforms, and silver is the new oil.
We need a national reserve. We need government purchasing. And we need mandates that secure American silver for American defense—not Elon's bottom line.
Trump’s Team Is Not Having It
Besides from Trump's team visibly being annoyed by Musk, Peter Navarro called Elon a “car assembler,” not a manufacturer. The kind of guy who ships in batteries from Japan and Taiwan while selling “American-made” stickers on Cybertrucks.

PETER NAVARRO: “Elon’s not a car manufacturer. He’s a car assembler. Batteries from China, electronics from Taiwan… The guy’s basically building PowerPoints on wheels. We want tires from Akron,…
When asked about Musk’s China ties, even Trump had to draw a line:
"Make sure he doesn’t go." — Trump, on barring Musk from a China briefing
This isn’t just inter-office beef. This is a core contradiction in Trump’s national revival plan.
How can you bring supply chains home when your biggest adviser is still chasing yuan and mineral deals in Shanghai?
The Dangers of Letting DOGE Run the Show
DOGE—the Department of Government Efficiency—is where Musk exerts the most influence. But what has DOGE done for silver?
Nothing.
DOGE has:
It’s a meme department covering for a massive power grab, one that conveniently leaves Musk’s largest mineral dependency untouched by federal authority.
Starlink and the Permanent Silver Drain
SpaceX has launched over 16,000 Starlink satellites, each burning 6 to 18 kg of silver. Most have lifespans under 7 years and will burn up during reentry—permanently destroying the silver inside.
Estimated unrecoverable silver loss: 3 to 10 million ounces so far
Projected silver lost in future launches: 3× that
If China or Russia launched a silver vaporizing satellite system, we’d be outraged. But Elon does it, and it’s called "innovation."
Silver Is the Battlefield Edge—and Elon’s Hoarding It
If Trump wants to rebuild America, if he wants to outpace China in AI, military readiness, and tech supremacy, then silver must be treated as a wartime asset. Right now, it’s being funneled into Elon’s orbital playgrounds and Shanghai supply chains. That is not MAGA.
This isn’t about hating Elon. It’s about calling out a clear and present danger to U.S. national security. You don’t let a silver-dependent, China-embedded billionaire dictate mineral policy when your enemies are stockpiling and your reserves are nonexistent.
MAGA Can’t Happen Without Silver
- No silver = no military edge.
- No silver = no clean tech sovereignty.
- No silver = dependence on adversaries.
If we let Elon’s conflicts of interest guide Trump’s mineral policy, we’re handing China the keys to the future. We must nationalize strategic silver policy, prioritize domestic mining and recycling, and build a stockpile that reflects reality—not Tesla’s profit margins.
Join the Fight to Bring Trump's Golden and Silver Age to Fruition!
- Demand Congress audit all DOGE contracts for mineral use
- Pass legislation for a Strategic Silver Reserve
- Prohibit federal partnerships with any corporation that exports silver-intensive production to China
Trump’s Golden Age is only as strong as the minerals it’s built on. It’s time for Trump to pick a side: American Silver Security, or Elon Musk’s global empire.
