Reprehensible 🤬
Primarily the middle class will be affected.
I’m sure Trump and #Musk won’t feel a thing
Trump Ally #ElonMusk Warns of 'Necessary' Economic Collapse if #Trump Elected
“Elon Musk has offered a sobering preview of Donald Trump’s economic plan for America if he is re-elected, revealing that a period of intentional “temporary hardship” is on the horizon for American households.
Rather than cautioning against it, #Musk described this hardship as necessary and inevitable, supporting #Trump’s blueprint for restructuring the economy by slashing government program”

@drrjv firstly, it's not going to happen. Trump doesn't have the authority or the intelligence to gain the authority to make such a thing happen. Presidents just can't operate that way.
But more importantly, what Musk is pointing out is that the math just doesn't add up. The inevitability is mathematical, there's really no way around it.
It's as reprehensible as suggesting that somebody needs to take appropriate medications to address a health problem. Yeah, the meds might not be pleasant, but the alternative is even worse.
The math for the US government is pretty bad. Something will break. There's no option for just continuing like this.
So what do we do? Well we'll do nothing until it collapses on its own. Because without political will we will run out of runway.
Setting aside the abject silliness of the idea that the US government could run out of the dollars it issues itself, one way that the US could “balance the books” is by expropriating all of Musk’s wealth.
@volkris @drrjv musk is a grifter and a liar, so... nothing musk says or does means anything because he has no moral compass.
