During his address, Caudle referenced ongoing global conflicts, citing the destruction in Gaza and the war in Ukraine as evidence of the world's violent state. "Fact of the matter is, we live in a world that is violent. You don't believe me, all you have to do is turn on the television set this afternoon and you'll see Gaza, where every building has been leveled by bombs, and then shooting and killing," he declared. "Children bleeding out. All you have to do is look at what's going on in the Ukraine, and it's the same thing."

 

The pastor then shifted his focus to the domestic situation, expressing his concern that the U.S. could soon experience similar chaos. "In this nation, I'm worried that we are on the verge of bloodshed. This is an attempt to take us back to a day that we do not want to go and we will not go. Therefore, there will be conflict," he warned.

 

Turning his attention to Elon Musk, Caudle accused the billionaire, whom he described as acting as a special government employee, of attempting to manipulate the U.S. Treasury through DOGE. He alleged that Musk was seeking to "force" his way into federal financial institutions to steal personal data and Social Security benefits from American citizens.

 

"No one likes violence, but sometimes violence is necessary. When Elon Musk forces his way into the U.S. Treasury and threatens to steal your personal information and your Social Security check, there is a possibility of violence," Caudle asserted. "Sometimes the devil will act so ugly that you have no other choice but to get violent and fight."

 

Musk, known for his outspoken nature on social media, quickly responded to Caudle’s comments. In a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Monday, the billionaire wrote, "This tells me that he is trying to hide MASSIVE fraud."

 

The pastor’s remarks sparked a wave of backlash online, with many criticizing his call to violence. One social media user condemned Caudle, writing, "This is all a lie and he claims to be a pastor. Shame on him and anyone who believes these lies without taking the time to learn the truth. I’m suspicious he’s getting money."

 

Another user echoed similar sentiments, stating, "A ‘pastor’ calling for conflict and violence from the pulpit is absolutely non-Christian behavior."

As the controversy continues to unfold, Caudle’s statements have fueled debate over the role of religious leaders in political discourse and the potential consequences of incendiary rhetoric.
