Market Instability and Institutional Oversight Concerns Raised by Macquarie
What happened
Elon Musk lost $113 billion from his net worth amid current market instability. Macquarie argued that the U.S. Supreme Court is responsible for political chaos in the U.S. The firm stated that the conservative Supreme Court began eroding congressional oversight after the Great Financial Crisis of 2008, granting virtual immunity to the president.

Why it matters
Macquarie cited the U.S. slipping down Transparency International’s corruption index as evidence of weakened democratic institutions. The report links this institutional erosion to the current market volatility reflected in Musk's wealth decline.
Fed rate hikes have triggered market sell-offs, prompting some analysts to advise selling while Elon Musk enters the telecom sector.
