Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk believes the US can solve its record national debt problem only with the help of AI and robots. According to him, the Earth's economy could grow a millionfold, and money would come to be measured in power, mass, and energy. The US national debt, according to the Treasury Department, has approached $40.4 trillion.
Javlon TursunovElon Musk, on The Builders podcast with Walter Isaacson, said that the problem of the growing US national debt can only be solved with the help of AI and robots, since cutting spending is politically unfeasible. He suggested that Donald Trump could change the situation by making fighting the deficit a priority, but in Musk's view, the president avoids unpopular measures.
Javlon TursunovAccording to the US Treasury Department, on October 19, 2026, the national debt reached $40.396 trillion — almost $400 billion more than when the $40 trillion mark was first crossed on August 19. Growth since late August was about 1%. Analysts suggest the debt could exceed $50 trillion by 2030, and the Congressional Budget Office projects a further increase in the debt burden by 2036.
