Musk

Elon Musk's fortune soared by $19 billion in a single day, making him the world’s richest person once again. The trigger? Tesla officially launched its long-awaited robotaxi service in Austin, Texas.

A Revolution for $4.20 a Ride
Tesla began operating its autonomous ride-hailing service on Sunday with a flat rate of $4.20 per trip. While each ride is still accompanied by a safety operator, the announcement alone caused investor excitement — Tesla stock jumped 8%, hitting an intraday high of 11%.
As a result, Musk’s net worth climbed to $385 billion, putting him well ahead of Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos. Musk called the rollout “the culmination of a decade of hard work,” praising Tesla’s AI and chip design teams.

Analysts Urge Caution
Despite the market’s enthusiasm, some analysts are urging caution. UBS raised its Tesla price target but still maintained a “sell” rating, warning that much of the robotaxi optimism might already be priced in.
Experts also highlight several technical and logistical challenges, such as sensor limitations, complex road scenarios, and inadequate infrastructure.

U.S. Regulators Launch Safety Probe
Meanwhile, U.S. safety regulators are already investigating. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is reviewing videos allegedly showing Tesla robotaxis veering out of lanes or speeding.
NHTSA has requested documentation from Tesla, especially about how these self-driving cars perform in poor weather, at complex intersections, and regarding passenger age restrictions.
Tesla stated that its safety reports are confidential and should not be made public. However, the agency is reviewing Tesla's submissions. It’s not the first time either — since October, NHTSA has been probing crashes involving Tesla’s autonomous vehicles in low visibility conditions, including one fatal incident.

On June 17, 2025, Elon Musk sounded a fresh alarm on the state of the U.S. economy, warning that if America continues to ignore its mounting debt, the country could face a very real fiscal crisis.

“If current trends continue, all tax revenue will go toward paying interest—and there’ll be nothing left to run the government.” – Elon Musk, via X

📈 The Debt Problem
As of mid-2025, the U.S. national debt exceeds $36 trillion, with interest payments nearing $1 trillion per year.

Interest now consumes about 25% of federal revenue—a historic high.
In January 2025, the debt ceiling was suspended again, allowing unrestricted borrowing to continue.
A chart Musk reposted shows the steep and continuous rise in U.S. debt, raising fears that the country is spiraling into a trap where debt feeds more debt, creating an unsustainable cycle.

💣 The Fiscal Cliff Ahead
The U.S. faces a twofold dilemma:
1. It cannot default, because the government can technically print more dollars via the Federal Reserve.
2. But if it keeps printing to pay off debt, it risks hyperinflation, weakening the dollar and threatening economic stability.

The real danger, according to Musk, is not just economic but functional: the government may soon be unable to fund defense, infrastructure, healthcare, or social programs if debt service eats up the entire budget.

🧮 Is Musk Overreacting?
While some critics accuse Musk of alarmism, economic analysts agree the debt trajectory is concerning:
The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projects U.S. debt-to-GDP to surpass 130% by 2033.
By 2050, interest payments alone may become the largest federal expenditure, surpassing defense and Social Security.

🧠 Musk’s Solution: Government Efficiency (DOGE)
Musk had previously proposed a controversial program called DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency), aiming to eliminate wasteful spending and automate public systems. However:
Official savings were limited—just $160 billion, while productivity losses may have offset most gains.
Critics labeled the plan “ideological” and “reckless,” while some allies called it “a bold attempt to modernize government.”

⚖️ Political Fallout
The situation has created intense friction between Musk and political figures:
Musk blasted Trump’s recent “One Big Beautiful Bill,” which adds over $2.4 trillion to the deficit, calling it a “disgusting abomination.”
Trump responded by suggesting Musk was "out of his lane,” fueling further debate over who should shape fiscal policy.

🔮 What’s Next?
Economists and policymakers are now faced with urgent questions:
● Should taxes be raised, especially on corporations and high-income earners?
● Can entitlement reform reduce long-term liabilities?
● Is it time to impose a hard debt cap or create an independent fiscal oversight board?

🧾 Final Thought
Musk's message is clear: the U.S. is fast approaching a point where its financial obligations may overwhelm its ability to function as a nation. Whether you agree with him or not, his warning is prompting renewed calls for transparency, reform, and fiscal responsibility—before it's too late.
