The likelihood of a recession is "getting close to 50-50."

"Barring an unforeseeable event, the economy should grow even better in 2025 than it did in 2023 and 2024."

"The threat of a recession is real."

"Contrary to popular perception, the US is at greater risk of a recession than it was in early 2022."

Will the US Go into Recession in 2025?

Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, as well as a senior advisor to U.S. President Donald Trump, told CBS News that he was "disappointed" by the large amount of spending in the "One Big Beautiful Bill" legislation Trump has promoted and the Republican-led U.S. Congress is attempting to pass.

In the interview, scheduled to air in full June 1, Musk explains how he believes the bill "undermines" the work he did with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) by increasing the U.S. budget deficit, but said he was "thrilled" about certain parts of it. Musk recently stepped away from his role with DOGE, which claimed to have saved $160 billion through cutting 11 federal agencies and eliminating 250,000 federal jobs.

The legislation faces hurdles in the Senate, where fiscal hawks, including Republican Sens. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin and Rick Scott of Florida, have called for deeper spending cuts and expressed opposition to the current version. Under budget reconciliation, the GOP needs just 51 votes to pass the bill.

Musk and others are free to disagree with the president and his bill. But they can't ignore the record amount of mandatory savings included in it, not to mention the economic growth it will spark in order to offset initial deficit increases. Passing this bill will be a major victory for Republicans.

There should be far more concern surrounding this bill, especially given the objections from Elon Musk and several GOP members — even as Trump and others push aggressively for its passage. Regardless of how much DOGE has saved American taxpayers, the numbers show this bill will have the opposite effect on America's budget.

There's a 57% chance that Musk will cease to be an advisor to Trump and face public criticism from Trump before 2026, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
