The Trump–Elon Fallout Proves Nothing Stops The Spending Train | Weekly Roundup
from Forward Guidance · host Blockworks
This week, Felix and Tyler unpack the unraveling Trump–Elon alliance as a microcosm of fiscal denial, explore the slow death of austerity, and discuss why endless debt and political gridlock may actually be bullish. They dive deep into the brewing housing market crack, the quiet rise of crypto IPOs like Circle, and the generational shift from TradFi despair to crypto optimism. Plus, reflections on Larry Fink’s globalization rebrand, market structure flows holding up equities, and more.
