Trump and Musk's Public Feud and Its Implications
Recent news highlights a public falling out between Donald Trump and Elon Musk, marked by mutual criticism and potential market consequences. This apparent feud stems from disagreements over policy and accusations of being misled.
The Public Exchange
-
Musk publicly stated his support for Trump's impeachment and claimed Trump wouldn't have won the election without his help.
-
Trump responded by expressing disappointment in Musk, criticizing his stance on electric cars, and threatening to terminate government contracts with Musk's companies.
-
The dispute has even touched upon the "Big Pretty Act," with both figures reportedly urging the public to contact Congress and reject the bill.
Potential Motivations Behind Musk's Displeasure
Speculation suggests Musk's frustration arises from feeling manipulated by Trump regarding efforts to address the US debt crisis. He may believe Trump used him to target the Democratic Party rather than genuinely pursuing open and transparent solutions. This perceived deception could be the core of Musk's anger.
Impact on Tesla's Stock Price
The public spat between Trump and Musk has had a tangible impact on the market. Tesla's stock price reportedly experienced a significant drop (14 points) following the news of the conflict.
The US Debt Crisis and Bitcoin's Role
The analysis suggests that Musk's involvement in addressing the US debt crisis is now compromised.
-
The US debt issue is expected to worsen, with increasing reliance on issuing new debt to cover existing obligations.
-
This cycle can lead to a supply and demand imbalance and potentially unsustainable interest rates.
-
Some propose that Bitcoin could potentially mitigate this issue, although the global stablecoin market may not be large enough to have a meaningful effect.
Historical Trends in US Debt Growth
Data indicates that both Republican (Bush, Trump) and Democratic (Obama, Biden) presidencies have contributed significantly to the growth of US debt, with approximately equal increases during their respective terms. The current political environment incentivizes passing the problem of the debt to future administrations.
Dalia's Warning
Big Brother Dalia warned the US debt issue is almost irreversible. Because the government has to issue more new debt in order to pay off the existing debt.
Trump's Potential Response to Criticism ("TACKLE")
The increasing criticism of Trump, particularly the term "TACKLE" (suggesting he'll admit defeat), may provoke a more aggressive approach to policy. This could involve increased trade wars with foreign nations and actions against domestic technology companies perceived as aligned with the Democratic Party. Recent actions by the US Justice Department, such as the lawsuit against Google, may be indicative of this trend.
