Musk says AI and robots could solve US debt before bankruptcy

Elon Musk says on X that the US government cannot fix its own deficit, even after DOGE, so he sees only two outcomes: global bankruptcy or robot-driven growth fast enough to make the debt manageable.

In the post, he argues that productivity gains from robots would let people see the benefits of capitalism directly, unlike slow growth that goes unnoticed. The post gives no figures, timeline, or policy proposals, and no independent source supports the claim.
