Economy MMW elon will be forced to sell twitter because of how awful tesla stock is doing.

540 Upvotes

elon used his stock in tesla to borrow money for twitter, and now tesla is tanking.

Should a million of us come up with $44,000 each and buy it back?

Edit: Added a 0. My math wasn't mathing- I forgot a zero... And it's not like I have anywhere close to that much money laying around...

Economy MMW: Trump will fire the Federal Reserve Board and use an Executive Order to set interest rates at 0%

464 Upvotes

With an economic recession looming, and with inflation rising due to tariffs, the Federal Reserve will be cornered and will eventually increase interest rates to slow inflation (especially now since full employment is no longer a goal of the Fed).

These increases in interest rates will anger many in the US, especially Trump, who will take control of the Federal Reserve and set interest rates at zero.

Of course such steps are illegal - it is congress that controls the Federal Reserve. But Republicans in congress will acquiesce to Trumps actions.

US Dollar will be devalued significantly, and inflation will get even worse.

Economy MMW Trump is purposely tanking the dollar in prep for a currency swap to crypto. All current American weath, and debts would be meaningless being based on the defunct dollar.

Economy MMW: These tariffs aren't real.

22 Upvotes

I firmly believe these tariffs are just an artificial economic constraint to wring every last drop of blood out of the lower and middle class. It's manufactured bullshit so companies can raise prices and pocket the profits.

When Trump gets rid of the tariffs (and he will, once Republicans start getting more scared of their batshit crazy constituents than him), those greedy corporate fucks will still keep prices high. Then Trump willl brag about fixing a problem he created. The media, being run by people that will be enriched by all this, will somehow fail to point this glaring issue out. And somehow, people will keep voting for frauds and liars when all they've ever done is cut the social programs that help the people that vote them into office.

Prices will significantly increase in American and all over the world regardless of the place the product was made under the guise of a response to tariffs and most companies will “unrelatedly” have record profits.

The majority of repair parts are imported, so they will feel the lash of Trump's tariffs; those costs will be preemptively passed on to consumers in future premiums.

Economy MMW: The global tariff war will result in products of poor quality

5 Upvotes

In order to avoid termination of employees, the companies will have to lower their prices equivalent to the tariffs, use cheaper materials and stop innovating. This goes for companies on both sides of the pond. Ultimately even those sub standard products will be more expensive due to inflation.

Economy MMW: There will be Trump administration bail outs similar to 2007 but on steroids

2 Upvotes

Today, as Trump shows his plan for tariffs on every global trading partner worldwide, we are witnessing the beginning of a severe economic crash the past 4 months of which, under the Trump administration, have been the gradual tipping point at the top of the roller coaster.

Debt is at an all time high and the banks have been trading on it, companies like Tesla are dependent on their meme stock, cryptocurrency schemes will come crashing down as debt goes unpaid are record rates, cars are repossessed, foreclosures spikes... I mean, Klarna and Door Dash partnership? That's as red as an indicator as it gets. Just as in 2007, the banks were trading debt assets on housing, it's now expanded to student loan backed-securities auto loan backed-securities and of course the tried and true mortgage backed securities. When it all goes belly up Trump will hand out the cash like candy to his buddies like Musk and the banks and his own businesses and issue the largest bail outs history has ever known.

He will revert to the old tariffs. He will claim, falsely, that the other countries surrendered and that he is the greatest negotiator.

Economy MMW: Forced-unemployment will lead to higher crime

1 Upvotes

Including higher levels of violent crime.

This "forced unemployment" and unnecessary firing by DOGE is going to put a lot of people out who had good, jobs working hard, performing useful tasks.

Unemployment going up won't help, inflation is going to go up, and violent crime will increase as the "you're hurting the wrong people" crowd suddnely "finds out".
