Opinion: If Musk doesn't help, the US government may shut down

Yang Yuting, chief economist of ANZ Bank Greater China, mentioned at the 2025 China Chief Economist Forum Annual Meeting that the US public debt has reached 36 trillion, exceeding the 31.4 trillion limit. "In the past two years, the debt has increased by 2 trillion US dollars each year. Unless Musk can really help him reduce the US deficit and reduce the US debt, I think it is very likely that the US federal government will shut down, which will also bring a certain degree of blow to the US economy."
