“The path to power is the path to the teleprompter,” Musk said in a podcast released on Monday.
“I do feel like if somebody were to accidentally lean on the teleprompter, it’s going to be like Anchorman,” said Musk, referring to the 2004 Will Ferrell Comedy where the main character, news anchor Ron Burgundy, reads anything that is written on the teleprompter.

“So it’s like the government can’t just, you know, issue checks far in excess of revenue without there being inflation, you know, velocity of money held constant,” Musk added.
“If the federal government writes checks, they never bounce. So that is effectively the creation of more dollars. And if there are more dollars created, then the increase in the goods and services across the economy, then you have inflation, again, velocity of money held constant.”
“If the government could just issue massive amounts of money and deficits didn’t matter, then, well, why don’t we just make the deficit 100 times bigger? The answer is, you can’t because it will basically turn the dollar into something that is worthless,” he continued.
