Currently, in the online public opinion arena, both Trump and Musk are quite controversial, with many people angrily blaming them, even using harsh words. Under their influence, the market seems to be a tangled mess, turning into what many see as a 'monkey market,' with fluctuating trends full of uncertainties.
However, we cannot simply define them as 'fools' just because of the market fluctuations they caused. Before entering politics, Trump was already an influential figure in the business world, and he demonstrated extraordinary disruptive abilities in the political arena. With his own strength, he stirred the pot in just eight years, successfully weakening the opposing forces within the Republican Party and gaining the upper hand twice in the power struggles of the White House, enough to prove his means and strategies in the political field.
Musk, the legendary figure from Silicon Valley, is a true business giant. The companies he leads are flourishing in multiple key areas, from the vast exploration and development of space to the manufacturing of new energy vehicles on land, from energy innovation to social media operations, and cutting-edge brain-machine technology research, weaving together a vast commercial empire that has long resonated globally.
In fact, we often become easily misled by appearances, becoming small roles in this complex chess game. How could Trump and Musk not understand the situation? They are simply trying to find a way to save the American economy from different perspectives.
Trump deeply feels the weakness of the American real economy, the severe waste of resources, and the heavy pressure that immigration issues bring to national development; Musk also sees problems such as overconsumption in the American economic model. They both harbor the ideal of revitalizing America, attempting to 'diagnose' the American economy in their own ways and prescribe a 'treatment plan.'
The various strategies they proposed will indeed have a significant impact on the market in the short term. The traders on Wall Street see through it clearly; they have their own calculations in mind when facing the fluctuations brought by these policies. First, using policies such as establishing efficiency committees to help save expenses, building border walls to prevent illegal immigration, and increasing tariffs to adjust income and expenditure, acts like detonating a policy 'nuclear bomb,' quickly completing debt clearance and disrupting the inherent patterns of the global supply chain; then using tax cuts and other policies to encourage entrepreneurship and factory establishment, various policies combined, are like reservoirs trying to regulate labor market and inflation issues.
When the market goes through a cleansing wave, and the bears scour for residual profits amidst what seems to be a wasteland, the White House timely opens the 'floodgate' for interest rate cuts, guiding capital back and reconstructing the harvesting cycle of the dollar tide, further controlling the global economic situation.
Therefore, the more people blame and scold them now, when the policy dividends become apparent, the speed at which people change their attitudes to seize the opportunity may exceed imagination, as they all cater to it. Behind this lies the brilliance of the top-level designers' careful layout, truly worthy of being called a calculated economic art.
