Elon Musk has once again sparked conversation on social media, this time by reacting to a post about the dangers of rising US government debt . A recent X post by author Scott Adams said that the “biggest threat to the citizens of the United States is uncontrolled government spending creating ruinous debt.” The Tesla and SpaceX CEO quoted the post, resharing it with two American flag emojis. While Musk didn’t add any words to his post, his use of American flags seemed to signal agreement with the concerns raised. The billionaire has often spoken against excessive government interference and is currently leading the Department of Government Efficiency ( DOGE ) to reduce federal spending waste, fraud and abuse.
The original X post claimed that the country is already on the edge of a major debt crisis and suggested that DOGE could be a possible solution. “We are already looking into the abyss on debt. There is no time to dawdle. The only possible solution is DOGE, which is making progress,” the post stated.
“The main goal of Democrats is to stop DOGE. No one has asked a prominent Democrat or a Tesla demonstrator to explain that position,” it further added.
Elon Musk, as mentioned above, is currently leading DOGE to uncover millions in what he deems ‘wasteful’ government spending. DOGE was established by US President Donald Trump through an executive order on January 20. Recently, a Politico report said that Trump has informed his Cabinet and close associates that Musk would soon step down from his government role. The report also stated that the president and the billionaire had recently agreed that Musk would shift his focus back to his businesses. While Trump kinda confirmed in an interview earlier this week that Elon Musk will be leaving the government, but not the way that the report claimed.
Refuting the report, Musk responded to it with the comments ‘Yeah, fake news’.
