Sagar和Crystal：我们讨论了埃隆·马斯克对社会保障的批评，以及他的观点如何影响特朗普政府的政策方向。马斯克认为社会保障是一个庞氏骗局，其未来义务远超税收收入，并主张对富人征收更多社会保障税以解决问题。然而，他的观点与特朗普政府的减税政策相矛盾，这引发了人们对政府财政稳定性的担忧。我们还分析了马斯克的无政府资本主义意识形态，以及他对政府私有化的主张如何影响他的社会保障观点。
Elon Musk：我认为社会保障是一个庞氏骗局。人们缴纳的社会保障税款立即被支出，而未来的义务却远远超过税收收入。这导致国家债务远高于人们的预期。此外，由于人们寿命延长和出生率下降，退休人口的增加使得社会保障的财务问题在未来会变得更糟。解决这个问题的方法是提高富人的社会保障税税率上限。
