Musk Trump Duo: What It Means For The US And The Dollar?
With the Trump-Musk duo in action, the chances of the US gaining momentum in the global market will be the leading agenda. Trump has often been noted for tweeting the rising US debt metrics and eroding the US dollar’s prestige.
If he assumes the role of cabinet minister, he will likely create measures to restrict and protect the US economy’s economic integrity. Musk recently shared how he can chop off nearly $2 trillion worth of the US federal budget to stabilize the US economy.
“You think we can rip off this wasted $6.5 trillion Biden budget? Well, I think we can do at least $2 trillion. Yeah, yes, two trillion. At the end of the day, you’re being taxed; you’re being taxed—all government spending is taxation,” Musk shared.
In addition, Trump has already unveiled a tariff plan to protect the US dollar. The measure has been announced to prevent further harm to the USD.
