Is Inflation America's Biggest Threat? Key Takeaways from Musk and Trump’s Discussion!
Will Donald Trump "MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN"?
In a recent interview between Elon Musk and former President Donald Trump, they discussed various issues but notably avoided any mention of Bitcoin or cryptocurrency, which surprised many in the crypto community.
The interview took place on Musk’s X platform, which faced some technical difficulties, including a DDoS attack, causing delays. Despite this, the conversation continued, focusing on inflation, the economy, and possible government reforms.
DDoS Attack on X Platform
Before the interview, Musk's platform, X, was hit by a DDoS attack, despite earlier testing. The platform experienced heavy traffic, with 8 million listeners tuning in, which caused delays. However, the interview eventually proceeded without further issues.
Concerns About Inflation and the Economy
Musk and Trump both expressed concerns about the U.S. economy, particularly inflation. Trump criticized the Biden administration, saying inflation has "decimated" the American people and stressed the need to lower prices. Musk also pointed out that external forces, like the EU Commission, are trying to enforce censorship, which could have broader economic consequences.
Criticism of Government Agencies
Trump and Musk also discussed problems within federal agencies like the FDA and the Department of Education. Trump criticized the FDA's slow drug approval process, calling it overly bureaucratic. He mentioned his support for the "right to try" law, which allows patients to access unapproved drugs. Musk agreed, noting that the FDA’s procedures are too lengthy and complicated.
Musk’s Proposal for a Government Efficiency Commission
Musk proposed the creation of a "government efficiency commission" and expressed his willingness to be involved.
"I’d be happy to help out on such a commission — I’d love if it were formed," Musk said.
Trump acknowledged the idea. This proposal indicates Musk’s growing involvement with Trump, especially as tensions with the Biden administration have increased, particularly in areas like electric vehicles and cryptocurrency regulation.
Looking Ahead: Musk's Potential Role in Government
Musk's suggestion for a government efficiency commission reflects his growing interest in shaping public policy, particularly in a potential Trump administration. This move comes after his advisory roles during Trump’s first term, which he left following Trump’s withdrawal from the Paris Climate Accord. As the 2024 elections approach, Musk's influence in political and economic matters seems likely to expand.
