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”

Text Shot: “We have to reduce spending to live within our means. And that necessarily involves some temporary hardship, but it will ensure long-term prosperity,” Musk stated in the call, fully endorsing the strain Trump’s policies would place on Americans. Musk’s words make it clear that the disruption is not an unintended side effect but an accepted—if not desired—outcome. The billionaire went further by responding to an X (formerly Twitter) user who anticipated a market downturn if Trump’s aggressive policies, including mass deportations and extreme deficit cuts, were enacted. The user predicted that with Trump and Musk in charge, the U.S. economy—dependent on debt and vulnerable to asset bubbles—would face a severe reaction before stabilizing under the intended austerity. Musk’s response was a simple acknowledgment: “Sounds about right.”

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.
