  • Elon Musk is keen on auditing the Federal Reserve, the independent agency that makes critical decisions on interest rates that reverberate throughout the US economy.

Elon Musk has publicly called for an audit of the Federal Reserve, sparking a debate on the implications and feasibility of such an action. The article from MSN discusses Musk's critique of the Fed's operations, particularly focusing on its monetary policies and the lack of transparency.

Critics argue that while an audit could potentially increase transparency, it might also politicize the Fed's decisions, potentially undermining its independence. Proponents, including Musk, believe that greater oversight could lead to more accountable and effective monetary policy. The piece also touches on historical precedents of Fed audits, the current legal framework surrounding the Fed's operations, and the potential economic consequences of such an audit.
