Elon Musk Shares Post Advocating for the Abolition of the Federal Reserve

Elon Musk recently echoed a call to dismantle the Federal Reserve Bank in the United States by sharing a post from Utah Senator Mike Lee, who has argued for increased executive control over monetary policy and the elimination of the central bank.

In his message, Lee pointed to Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell’s recent statement that he would not step down even if requested by President-Elect Donald Trump. According to Lee, this stance exemplifies a misalignment with constitutional principles, which he argued place the executive branch under presidential authority. “The Executive Branch should be under the direction of the president. That’s how the Constitution was designed. The Federal Reserve is one of many examples of how we’ve deviated from the Constitution in that regard. Yet another reason why we should end the Fed,” Lee stated.

Lee’s proposal to abolish the Federal Reserve aligns with a broader movement among advocates of “sound money” and Bitcoin as a hedge against currency inflation. These proponents contend that centrally controlled fiat currencies are susceptible to inflation and depreciation, which, in their view, harms long-term economic stability.

With U.S. national debt now exceeding $35 trillion, Bitcoin has increasingly gained traction as a potential safeguard against the inflationary effects of sustained Federal Reserve policies. Lawmakers, financial leaders, and individual investors alike are showing interest in the cryptocurrency as a defense against devaluation of the U.S. dollar.

Florida’s Chief Financial Officer, Jimmy Patronis, has even proposed allocating a portion of the state’s pension funds into Bitcoin to help protect citizens’ purchasing power. Patronis is one of several officials advocating for measures to counter the effects of the dollar’s depreciation on state finances.

In July 2024, Senator Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming introduced the Bitcoin Strategic Reserve bill in Congress, citing inflation and the diminishing purchasing power of the dollar as driving forces behind her initiative.

President-Elect Donald Trump, set to take office in January 2025, has also hinted at a national Bitcoin reserve. At the Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville, he suggested that Bitcoin could play a role in managing the national debt, fueling speculation about a future shift in U.S. monetary policy.
