Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, spoke out about the current global meltdown on Friday, saying that the downturn is actually a good thing. The Tesla CEO also predicted that the current global recession could last up to 18 months.

Musk’s response was in response to a Twitter user who asked if he believes we are on the verge of a recession. The billionaire said yes, but added that it was a “good thing.” Musk explained his reasoning, saying, “It has been raining money on fools for too long.” Some bankruptcies need to happen.”

Also, all of the Covid stay-at-home stuff has led people to believe that you don’t need to work hard. The Tesla CEO warned of a rude awakening.

Yes, but this is actually a good thing. It has been raining money on fools for too long. Some bankruptcies need to happen.

Also, all the Covid stay-at-home stuff has tricked people into thinking that you don’t actually need to work hard. Rude awakening inbound!

Musk’s latest remarks came as World Bank chief David Malpass warned that Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine could trigger a global recession as food, energy, and fertilizer prices skyrocket. Furthermore, there are growing concerns about a recession, as the latest data released on May 18 showed that inflation in the UK economy has reached a 40-year high of 9%.
Meanwhile, the World Bank cut its global economic growth forecast for this year by nearly a full percentage point last month, to 3.2%. Fertilizer, food, and energy shortages are also affecting developing countries.

A recession is a business cycle contraction that occurs when there is a general decline in economic activity. Recessions typically occur when there is a significant decrease in spending (an adverse demand shock). A economic crisis, an external trade shock, an adverse demand shock, the bursting of an economic bubble, or a large-scale anthropogenic or natural disaster may all trigger this (e.g. a pandemic). It is defined in the United States as a significant decline in economic activity across the market that lasts more than a few months and is typically visible in real GDP, real income, employment, industrial production, and wholesale-retail sales. In the United Kingdom, it is defined as two consecutive quarters of negative economic growth.
