It goes without saying that Donald Trump’s governance, in association with Elon Musk’s ideas, could have significant repercussions not just on the U.S. economy but also on the global financial landscape.
Effective governance requires a balanced approach. The primary goal should be to build investor confidence, ensure consistency in decision-making, and implement policies that promote long-term stability. However, Trump has demonstrated a pattern of making impulsive decisions, only to later retract or delay their implementation. Such unpredictability frustrates investors, contributing to the volatility of financial markets—one of the reasons why the NASDAQ has suffered setbacks.
Even if the stock market experiences short-term recoveries, another unpredictable announcement from Trump could trigger further declines. Over the next few years, the market is likely to behave like a flickering light—neither entirely bullish nor bearish, but erratic, with sudden rises and falls occurring over short intervals.
Elon Musk is often praised as one of the most intelligent minds in the world. However, intelligence alone does not equate to sound economic leadership. Just as an individual’s wealth does not necessarily reflect their ability to manage national finances, steering a country’s economy requires exceptional maneuvering skills, strategic foresight, and calculated decision-making.
If Tesla shares had shown resilience while the rest of the market struggled, it could have reinforced the argument that Musk is a financial genius. However, that has not been the case. Investor confidence in Tesla has been severely shaken, leaving many regretting their decisions as share values have fluctuated unpredictably.
When a businessman like Musk enters the political arena, an inevitable conflict of interest arises between his corporate ambitions and public responsibilities. As an advisor to national policies, Musk’s economic influence risks exacerbating market instability rather than alleviating it.
Moreover, Musk has drawn both admiration and criticism from various political groups, including Republicans, Democrats, and neutral observers. His divisive influence raises concerns about the direction in which he is steering national policy.
From a personal and business standpoint, Musk must consider the risks of aligning too closely with Trump. It is imperative for him to protect his businesses, public image, and long-term legacy. Distancing himself from Trump’s unpredictability would likely be the wiser course of action.
On the other hand, Trump should not assume that he is reshaping the nation solely through his policies. Managing a country’s economy is akin to piloting an aircraft mid-flight—it requires precision, stability, and meticulous planning to prevent catastrophe.
A successful economic transition should be seamless, much like the way the U.S. dollar maintains its dominance in global markets. However, for such stability to be sustained, corporate confidence and economic rationality must prevail. Unfortunately, Trump’s current approach seems to be undermining these crucial factors.
His leadership style leans more toward a capitalistic dictatorship rather than the principles of a democratic economy—an approach that may ultimately pose risks to long-term economic stability.
