Simply has this feeling that Musk is causing fear so that potential disastrous telsa performance would seem "normal", at the expense of retail investors.

The billionaire thus suggests an increase of 0.25 percentage point.\"Drop 0.25%,\" Musk tweeted on Sept.14.The tycoon, who is also involved with three other companies -- SpaceX, Neuralink and Boring Co. -- made the suggestion after a Twitter user asked him what the Fed should do as it balances between fighting inflation and avoiding catastrophe for the economy.Early Signs of Deflation?It all started with a tweet from Ark Investment Management's Cathie Wood warning of early signs of deflation.

It is characterized by a continuous fall in the general level of prices. It can encourage households to postpone their purchasing decisions as they wait for further price declines, economists say. The consequences can be devastating as overall consumption slumps. Then, companies that can no longer sell their products reduce production and investment.Above all, deflation can cause borrowers' financial situation to deteriorate. That's because the real, or inflation-adjusted, cost of debt increases because loan repayments generally aren't indexed to inflation. So companies are less able to invest and households are less able to buy necessities and consume.Instances of deflation are rare in rich countries.
