A fresh online controversy began after a Somali TikTok creator, identified by the username Dowza.z, made a disturbing remark during a livestream that quickly spread across social media. During the live video, the creator spoke in both Somali and English while reacting to recent comments made by Elon Musk about alleged fraud involving Somali-run businesses in Minnesota.
While discussing Musk, the TikTok creator said in English, “I wouldn’t worry too much about him, he about to die.” The statement immediately drew attention. Many viewers interpreted the comment as a direct threat toward Musk, while others said it could have been exaggerated speech made in anger. Despite the debate, the wording caused strong reactions online.
Shortly after the clip went viral, the TikTok account associated with Dowza.z was deleted. This made it difficult to verify the full context of the livestream or clarify the intent behind the statement. However, by that time, the clip had already circulated widely and gained significant traction across platforms.
The livestream focused heavily on Musk’s criticism of alleged fraud cases in Minnesota. These cases involve government programs and have drawn national attention. The emotional tone of the livestream appeared linked to frustration over Musk’s comments and the broader discussion surrounding the investigations.
Elon Musk Responds as Political Voices Join In
Elon Musk responded to the viral clip on his social media platform X. In a brief but forceful post, he wrote, “Then it is war.” The statement quickly spread and intensified the situation. Many users viewed Musk’s response as confirmation that he took the livestream comment as a serious threat.
Supporters of Musk reacted strongly. Some called for increased protection for him. A popular X account, DogeDesigner, posted, “Protect Elon Musk at all costs.” Another well-known account, Libs of TikTok, claimed the creator had mocked Americans and appeared to threaten Musk’s life.
Political figures also weighed in. Republican Senator Mike Lee of Utah called for the TikTok creator to be deported immediately. However, there is no verified information about the creator’s location or citizenship status. No official agency has confirmed whether the comment is being treated as a legal threat.
The incident remained largely confined to online reactions and statements. There has been no public confirmation from law enforcement regarding any investigation tied directly to the livestream comment. Still, the exchange fueled heated debate and drew attention from both supporters and critics of Musk.
Minnesota Fraud Cases Form the Backdrop
The controversy unfolded amid heightened scrutiny of large-scale fraud cases in Minnesota. One of the most significant cases is known as “Feeding Our Future.” Authorities have charged at least 77 people in connection with the case, which involves an alleged $250 million scheme. Investigators say the fraud exploited pandemic-era child nutrition programs by submitting false meal claims.
Another investigation involves Minnesota’s Housing Stability Services Program, which operates under Medicaid. This program was designed to help vulnerable residents with housing-related services. Officials allege that some participants submitted fraudulent claims to receive payments improperly.
These cases have sparked political reactions at the national level. U.S. President Donald Trump announced plans to end Temporary Protected Status for Somali migrants in Minnesota. At the same time, the Department of Homeland Security has stepped up enforcement actions against individuals accused of participating in fraud schemes.
Elon Musk has been outspoken about these developments. In a recent post, he said the fraud uncovered in Minnesota is “one of the many” such cases. He stated that while leading the Department of Government Efficiency under President Trump, his team discovered hundreds of fraud schemes across government programs. He added that federal funds sent to states as block grants were especially vulnerable to misuse.
The livestream remark, Musk’s response, and the ongoing fraud investigations together created a tense online moment, drawing attention from political figures, social media users, and the wider public.
