[Elon Musk: AI and robotics are the only solutions to the U.S. national debt problem; cutting government spending alone won't work] Odaily Planet Daily News - Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk stated in the preview of biographer Walter Isaacson's new podcast 'The Builders' that cutting government spending cannot fundamentally solve the U.S. fiscal deficit issue. AI and robotics are the only solutions to the U.S. national debt problem. Reflecting on his experience leading the U.S. Government Efficiency Office, Musk pointed out that Trump, Congress, and the judicial system all lack genuine willingness to reduce government spending. He admitted that he had previously spent too much time on government affairs and, if given the chance to choose again, would shorten his official tenure to one or two months instead of four months and shift his focus back to the AI field earlier. The U.S. Congressional Budget Office estimates that the federal fiscal deficit will reach $1.9 trillion in the 2026 fiscal year and further expand to $3.1 trillion by 2036. (Cailian Press)
