If a tech giant, who is also a leading figure in cryptocurrency, publicly stands against a bill aimed at preventing a U.S. government shutdown and claims it is 'the biggest pork barrel legislation ever,' what would you think? Would you find this situation a bit interesting? Indeed, this scene recently played out in reality, with the main character being the well-known Musk, and the 'Department of Government Efficiency' (DOGE) he leads also making its mark in this storm.
Musk has posted over twenty messages on social media, fully criticizing this temporary funding bill. He ridiculed the bill for being lengthy and filled with unnecessary expenditures, and directly urged congressional members to vote against it. Even more astonishingly, he threatened that any legislator supporting this bill should be voted out in two years. This move has truly taken everyone by surprise!

The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) announced three consecutive temporary pauses in interest rate hikes at the September, November, and December FOMC meetings, leading the market to believe that the most aggressive interest rate hike cycle in decades has come to an end.
However, Mark Spitznagel, founder of the "black swan" hedge fund Universa Investments, who is good at profiting from the tail risks of market cycles, sounded the alarm, saying that the United States is in the "largest credit bubble in human history" and that a market crash is imminent. (Spitznagel is a disciple of Nassim Nicholas Taleb, author of the 2007 best-selling financial book "Black Swan") In fact, not only Spitznagel, but also some other Wall Street financial institutions have expressed concerns about the credit and debt problems in the United States.
