According to Musk, we’re on a high-speed train to “Dollar Worth Nothing-ville.” And if that doesn’t scare you, consider this: Uncle Sam spent $1.1265 trillion just on interest payments in 2024, nearly a quarter of its revenue.

According to Bloomberg, the number of people worth over $100 billion rose to 16 this year. Aside from Elon Musk, three others had net worths that increased by at least $70 billion. Mark Zuckerberg’s rose $85 billion to $231 billion.
