Elon Musk on U.S. Recession and Inflation

Commenting on whether the U.S. economy is in a recession, Musk said:

We probably are in a recession and that recession will get worse but these things pass and then there will be boom times again … It’ll probably be some tough going for, I don’t know, ein Jahr, maybe 12-18 Monate.

He added that 12 zu 18 months is roughly the amount of time for a correction to happen. Recession fears have escalated recently as the Federal Reserve tightens monetary policy to help cool down inflation.

Musk explained that in his opinion, recessions are not necessarily a bad thing, emphasizing that he’s been through a few of them in his time at public companies. “What tends to happen is, if you have a boom that goes on for too long, you get misallocation of capital — it starts raining money on fools, basically,” he described.

Noting that the rising prices resulted from money printing, the Tesla boss said:

The honest reason for inflation is that the government printed a zillion more money than it had … This is not like, du weißt, super complicated.

Musk added that countries like Venezuela had already been down the same path.

The Tesla executive is currently in the middle of a takeover bid to buy Twitter Inc. He offered the social media giant about $44 billion which Twitter has accepted. jedoch, the deal is now on hold.

Musk has also indicated that he may seek a lower price for Twitter, stating that there could be at least four times more fake accounts than what the company has said. meinte er: “You can’t pay the same price for something that is much worse than they claimed.”
