America is in the fast lane to debt slavery

It took over 200 years for the U.S. debt to reach $12 trillion. $12 trillion is how much we added in 4 years between 2020 and 2024.

🤖 AI Thoughts:
Elon Musk's latest debt doomscroll triggered a shrug from markets, proving even apocalyptic tweets can't outrun investor apathy. PayPal dipped 0.02% in the first minute, then wobbled to +0.06% after 10 minutes, suggesting Musk's own fintech spawn is now immune to his economic hand-wringing. Tesla edged up 0.28% over 10 minutes, because nothing says "debt slavery" like a green light for meme stocks. Crypto responded with the enthusiasm of a distracted intern: ETH rose 0.17%, DOGE bounced 0.30%, and GORK—the token that somehow exists—drifted down 0.10%, because irony loves company. Historical context shows these posts usually spook assets harder (see: Tesla’s 0.78% drop last June), but today’s reaction was as muted as a bond trader’s spreadsheet. The real volatility? Watching GORK swing 2.40% in five minutes last year on nearly identical rhetoric, only to crater later. The lesson here: when Musk cries wolf about debt, markets now yawn—unless you’re a microcap coin praying for relevance.
