Elon Musk, the billionaire entrepreneur, has dismissed what he calls “wrong-headed economic thinking” by suggesting there is “infinite potential” for creating jobs and businesses. Musk’s critique centers on the fallacy of a “fixed pie” in economics, where the assumption is that economic resources are limited and must be divided among the population.
In a post on X, Musk stated, “The ‘fixed pie’ fallacy is at the heart of much wrong-headed economic thinking. There is essentially infinite potential for job and company creation. Think of all the things that didn’t exist 20 or 30 years ago!”
His comments were in response to entrepreneur Joe Lonsdale’s mention of Sriram Krishnan, who has been tapped by President-elect Trump for a role in the upcoming administration. Krishnan had previously advocated for lifting the cap on green cards to unlock skilled immigration, a policy that aligns with Musk’s vision for expanding economic opportunities.
Musk’s perspective challenges the traditional economic theories which often emphasize scarcity and competition for existing resources rather than the creation of new opportunities. His argument suggests that innovation and entrepreneurship can break the mold of traditional economic constraints, fostering an environment where new jobs and businesses can be created without being limited by current market conditions.
This viewpoint was further highlighted when Musk discussed the need for merit-based immigration policies. Krishnan himself has supported skills-based criteria for green card allocation, emphasizing that the best talent should be attracted to the U.S. regardless of their country of origin. Musk’s support for such policies aligns with his belief in an economy where growth is not zero-sum but can be expansive, driven by human ingenuity and innovation.
Musk’s comments also resonate with his involvement in multiple industries where he has not only created jobs but also significantly transformed sectors like automotive, aerospace, and now social media through his various ventures like Tesla, SpaceX, and X. His approach underscores a belief in an economy where new sectors can emerge, offering new employment opportunities.
By challenging the notion of a static economic pie, Musk advocates for a dynamic economic model where growth is perpetually possible through technological advancement and entrepreneurial ventures. This perspective has sparked discussions among economists, policymakers, and the public on how to view economic development and job creation in a rapidly changing global landscape.

From the Editor: The Double Slipper Slopes
On the surface, this infinitely inclusive rhetoric sounds appealing. It removes limits to the potential for prosperity and who wouldn’t want that?
Well, actually, a lot of people wouldn’t want it for many reasons and greed isn’t one of them. This sounds very close to embracing the notion of Modern Monetary Theory in which money is uncapped and therefore even more worthless than the fiat monetary system we have in place today. And while Musk does not openly promote and would likely never overtly embrace the destructive theory, it’s an inescapable conclusion if policies were to enable his vision.
To be clear, I’m not suggesting that Musk is trying to bring about the destruction of our economy through Modern Monetary Theory any more than I would suggest that he’s calling for open borders with his idea of allowing uncapped “skilled” immigration, but both are inevitable if his ideas were to manifest in large scale.
There’s about a 90% chance that these particular ideas are simply fanciful whimsy with no attempts at practical application. Then again, there’s a small chance that he’s setting us up for the fall by being a covert shill for the Globalist Elite Cabal.
Controlling Protein Is One of the Globalists’ Primary Goals
Between the globalists, corporate interests, and our own government, the food supply is being targeted from multiple angles. It isn’t just silly regulations and misguided subsidies driving natural foods away. Bird flu, sabotaged food processing plants, mysterious deaths of entire cattle herds, arson attacks, and an incessant push to make climate change the primary consideration for all things are combining for a perfect storm to exacerbate the ongoing food crisis.
The primary target is protein. Specifically, they’re going after beef as the environmental boogeyman. They want us eating vegetable-based proteins, lab-grown meat, or even bugs instead of anything that walked the pastures of America. This is why we launched a long-term storage prepper beef company that provides high-quality food that’s shelf-stable for up to 25-years.
At Prepper All-Naturals, we believe Americans should be eating real food today and into the future regardless of what the powers-that-be demand of us. We will never use lab-grown beef. We will never allow our cattle to be injected with mRNA vaccines. We will never bow to the draconian diktats of the climate change cult.
Visit Prepper All-Naturals and use promo code “veterans25” to get 25% off plus free shipping on Ribeye, NY Strip, Tenderloin, and other high-quality cuts of beef. It’s cooked sous vide, then freeze dried and packaged with no other ingredients, just beef. Stock up for the long haul today.
