Unfortunately, Congress will never, I think, change its ways until they're forced to by some sort of crisis, which I think is your point about eventually will be in a debt crisis, and then Congress will finally see the wisdom and they'll finally appreciate what Ellen did.View on YouTube
As of November 30, 2025, the United States has not experienced a singular, acute debt or fiscal crisis of the kind typically described as a break-point event (e.g., default, failed Treasury auctions, sudden loss of market access). There are ongoing concerns about high federal debt and deficits, but nothing that is widely characterized as a distinct crisis that clearly forced Congress into a new structural regime on spending/appropriations.
Likewise, there is no evidence that Congress has, in the wake of such a crisis, broadly recognized and praised Elon Musk’s deficit-cutting efforts via Doge (Dogecoin) or any Doge-linked fiscal mechanism; no such mechanism has been adopted in U.S. fiscal policy, and there has been no wave of congressional credit to Musk along those lines.
However, Sacks’s prediction is explicitly framed as eventual (no time bound) and depends on future political and economic developments that may still occur after November 30, 2025. Because:
- The hypothesized crisis has not occurred in a clearly recognizable form yet, and
- There is no specified deadline by which it must occur,
we cannot say the prediction is wrong; it simply has not had enough time to be tested. Thus the correct status, as of now, is “inconclusive (too early)”.
