Elon Musk worried about national debt after planting his face between Trump's butt cheeks

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Elon Musk does not often sound like a fiscal policy analyst. But in a Fox News interview that has been recirculating widely as the US approaches another deficit milestone, he made a comparison that is hard to ignore.

He compared the country to a person heading for bankruptcy. And the numbers now being reported by federal budget watchdogs suggest the comparison may not be as hyperbolic as it first sounds.

"A country is no different from a person," Musk said in a Fox Business interview. "If a country overspends and doesn't spend wisely, just like a person, the country will go bankrupt."

He went further, saying the problem was personal for him.

Because you were personally responsible for part of it you Ketamine addled moron.

1. Elmo wants everyone to work harder and to tighten their belts so that he

can continue receiving tax cuts and all that welfare through government contracts.

2. "A country is no different from a person,"

Except that minor fact that the Country literally prints money

[mr715]

15. And the other minor fact that

a country is nothing like a person.

3. Johnny Bucks

No doubt about it, that's why I printed off 30 Million Johnny Bucks just the other day to pay my bills and buy stuff with. Should work just fine.

4. He's only "worried" about it because Republicans might be kicked to the curb in November

Otherwise he couldn't give a rats ass about it.

13. It's a prelude to the usual "Two Santa Claus" theory that the Rethugs always enact when the Dems get in power.

Run the deficit up as fast and hard as you can when the Rethuglicans are in charge and then scream about the deficit (that they caused) when the Dems take over. What have these deficits gotten us besides huge interest payments and richer rich people?

Just a reminder that Democrats have been cleaning up Rethuglican messes since 1933.

5. This DOGEbag needs to be stuffed

This fucker stole from us and is worried about this?

Karma couldn't come any quicker

[no_hypocrisy]

6. Really Elon? After all the trillions of dollars you saved by slashing the

Federal Government?

18. He and his dodgy team mostly went after the agencies

that were investigating him and t. Now all that money he's saved the government is going straight into his, ts, and all the other rebuke drifters pockets.

7. Well the $10B we just 'saved' by dropping the IRS lawsuit is the first drop put back in the bucket.

Disgorge more of that grift, voluntarily, NOW, before it's too late to stop the avalanche of corruption and theft charges coming in November.

8. If Elon and his shit companies paid their fair share

it might not be so much of an issue.

That also goes for the rest of the billionaire/parasite class of assholes he's a part of.

9. Send him to Mars

Grant him his wish now.

[Shipwack]

10. NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!

No!

A country is not like a person. Economically they are different. Countries don’t die. That is why there is a field of study called “macroeconomics “.

The stupid, it hurts…

[mzmolly]

12. Countries also serve their

respective public.

How is that guy a billionaire?

[mzmolly]

11. If a person (or country) brings in more money, that is a solution

to budgetary issues as well, Elon.

Tax that greedy drug addled billionaire!

[Bobstandard]

14. The two Santa Clause theory reappears!

It’s a pearly but Elon is priming the pump.

Republicans are in power. National debt is a good thing. The US can never go bankrupt because we can print money. Print money and people can go to work, oligarchs can make money, the country is strong. Don’t worry, run up the debt!

Democrats come to power? The national debt is out of control! Fix it! Reduce spending dammit! It’s the only way! We wouldn’t be in this mess if Biden, Obama, DEI, AOC!!!

[JHB]

16. Well, then it's time to raise taxes the people who've been making out like bandits for the last 45 years

Especially people who've been collecting and selling people's personal information without real consent, not to mention who train their AIs with stolen intellectual property (without permission nor payment to the rightsholder). Y'know, guys like Elon.

[Johonny]

17. Doge cost the US more money than it saved

So, yeah, fuck this guy.
