ELON: OUR NATIONAL DEBT IS A DISASTER

“What really matters is that government spending is not far in excess of government revenue. 

That's a fundamental issue that we have where we have a deficit of $X trillion and we have interest payments that now exceed the entire budget of the military. 

In fact, that was a big wake-up call for me was when the amount of money that we pay in national debt interest exceeded the Defense Department budget. 

And the Defense Department budget is very big and interest is higher than that and climbing. 

That's a disaster.”
