American billionaire Elon Musk has agreed with the assumption that by 2030 the US national debt will grow so much that "everything will go to hell." This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Kursiv Media.
Musk responded to a picture on social media X showing that in 2030 the national debt will exceed $50 trillion. "Exact schedule," he wrote. The graph marks the next four years as a period of sharp increase.
Musk's statement sparked a wide discussion online. Many users supported his concerns, while others considered the forecast too pessimistic. However, experts note that the current growth of US national debt is indeed alarming.
Currently, US national debt exceeds $35 trillion. If it continues to grow at this pace, it could reach $50 trillion by 2030, posing serious risks to the global economy. Musk has repeatedly criticized the US government for excessive spending and called for reducing the budget deficit.
Whether Musk's predictions will come true remains to be seen, but his statement has drawn attention to the problem of the growing US national debt.
