The world’s wealthiest man appears to believe that a Donald Trump presidency must crash the economy in order to benefit Americans .

Musk is one of the most prolific spenders when it comes to elections, funneling at least $132 million into campaigns to get Trump and Republicans elected this year .

Trump and Musk have proposed an Office of Government Efficiency that would perform “a complete financial and performance audit of the entire federal government”.

He has also floated an improbable idea to potentially eliminate all federal taxes and rely solely on tariffs to support the nation’s multi-trillion dollar annual budget. A group of Nobel Prize -winning economists have warned that Trump ’s economic plan will “lead to higher prices, larger deficits, and greater inequality.”.
