Elon Musk worried about national debt after planting his face between Trump's butt cheeks [View all]

Elon Musk does not often sound like a fiscal policy analyst. But in a Fox News interview that has been recirculating widely as the US approaches another deficit milestone, he made a comparison that is hard to ignore.

He compared the country to a person heading for bankruptcy. And the numbers now being reported by federal budget watchdogs suggest the comparison may not be as hyperbolic as it first sounds.

"A country is no different from a person," Musk said in a Fox Business interview. "If a country overspends and doesn't spend wisely, just like a person, the country will go bankrupt."

He went further, saying the problem was personal for him.
