Deutsche Bank: Musk's government appointment will have disastrous consequences for the economy
ChainCatcher news, according to Jinshi reports, Trump will appoint Musk (along with Ramaswamy) to lead the new Office of Government Efficiency. Musk announced during the campaign that he would cut U.S. federal spending by $2 trillion (nearly one-third). Ulrich Leuchtmann, head of foreign exchange and commodity research at Deutsche Bank, pointed out that this would have catastrophic consequences for the U.S. economy: "Musk does not believe in gradual and cautious approaches. I do not believe he can take a wise step.Some may say that their suggestions would only be suggestions, with the president and Congress in front during actual implementation. But if the suggestions are not going to be implemented, then why establish such an agency? The president would appear indecisive, which is exactly what Trump does not want to see.Using a radical austerity plan to create a bullish argument for the dollar is very clever, as it will significantly reduce the capital needs of the U.S. Treasury, thereby lowering the capital needs of the entire economy. U.S. government bonds will become scarce and expensive again. However, I believe that the dollar may initially be influenced by the inevitable expansionary monetary policy response."
