  • This $143 trillion figure equals 85% of all wealth Americans have accumulated, highlighting the severe financial burden on every household, averaging $1.1 million.
  • Elon Musk commented on federal deficits, stating that "if the ship of America sinks, we all sink with it," relating this to concerns about Social Security's obligations being a major factor in the national debt.
