Elon Musk has offered a sobering preview of Donald Trump's economic plan for America if he is re-elected, revealing that a period of intentional "temporary hardship" is on the horizon for American households.
Elon Musk Makes Shocking Confession on His Plans After Trump Victory

... Elon Musk admitted that he knows that Donald Trump's policies would crash the economy if he's elected president, but thinks that the price is worth it.
The tech CEO and social media mogul on Monday evening replied to a post on X from right-wing influencer FischerKing64, who posted about how Trump's plans for mass deportations of immigrants combined with Musk's plans as a White House adviser to cut federal spending would initially crash the economy, before creating a "sounder footing."
Musk replied, "Sounds about right." ...
OK, my first question is along the lines of ...
If Mr Musk seems to admit that mass deportations would crash the economy that seems to be so dependent upon immigrant labor, what is Mr Musk's plan forward?
Has he even thought that far ahead?
Here's what Elon's co-chair of the prospective Trump administration's "Department of Government Efficiency" had to say about America's future at Trump's MSG rally on Sunday:
Cantor Fitzgerald chairman and CEO Howard Lutnick came out and spoke of how his firm was decimated on September 11 when a plane struck just below their offices in the World Trade Center, how they'd given lots of money to the families, and then he finally provided a clear answer to that nine-year-old question: When, exactly, was America great?www.publicnotice.co
The Gilded Age.
The crowd was a bit miffed when Lutnick extolled the virtues of the "turn-of-the-century" economy, and they didn't rouse much when he explained he was referring to 1900. They perked up a bit when he explained this meant "no income tax," though it was more of a smattering of cheers.
"All we had was tariffs!" he explained, probably expecting more of a roar, "and we had so much money that we had the greatest businessmen of America get together to try to figure out how to spend it!" Near-silence. "That's who we were then."
And there it was. We should return to the days when all the money flowed into a handful of pockets, when the Carnegies and Rockefellers got to make all the rules, and the way that billionaires like Lutnick will seek to do that is by getting Trump in there to abolish the income tax--as if any of them pay their fair share as it is. This was Reaganomics on anarcho-capitalist steroids, and the fairly frosty reception it got in the arena was a reminder of how much more effective Trump's economic populism has been for Republicans, even if he ended up signing the same old tax-cut-for-rich-people once elected.
Yep, can't wait until they MAGA like that again!
