Elon Musk just dropped a bold prediction: double-digit GDP growth is on the way within the next 12 to 18 months. That's not exactly a quiet take.

If he's right, it could reshape the macro backdrop that crypto markets are trading on. Stronger economic growth typically fuels risk appetite, which can ripple through digital assets. We're talking about a potential tailwind for the broader market sentiment.

Now, whether this materializes or not—that's the real question traders are wrestling with. Musk's track record on timing macroeconomic calls is... mixed, to say the least. But the fact that influential voices are calling for such aggressive growth puts pressure on policy makers and keeps the narrative about economic expansion front and center.

For those watching the Fed, inflation data, and rate expectations, this adds another layer to monitor. If double-digit GDP growth actually arrives, the crypto market cycle could look very different from what we're bracing for now.

Elon Musk's way of speaking is a typical rational expectations trap—double-digit GDP growth? Just compare it with on-chain data to see what's real and what's not. The market's equilibrium of game theory is still far from that level.

Elon Musk is at it again with his mouth. Double-digit growth? Ha, I'm just waiting to see how he will deliver. This guy's accuracy in predicting macroeconomics... never mind, I won't say anything. If a double-digit GDP actually happens, us crypto folks might have to change our fate. The Fed folks must be so frustrated when they hear this.

Double-digit GDP growth? Elon Musk is back to storytelling again. I bet five bucks he's going to get called out again. --- Alright, if it really happens, that would indeed be good news for crypto, but honestly, who believes it... --- Musk's macro predictions are really unreliable, and this time is no exception. --- Wait, if it really turns out to be true, won't those of us shorting get liquidated? That's what I'm really worried about. --- So now is the time to go all in? I just want to hear what everyone thinks... --- It's the same story about economic growth, always talking about it but nothing ever happens in the end. I'm exhausted.

Musk is at it again, aiming for double-digit GDP growth? Sounds pretty good, but let's be honest about his economic forecast accuracy... If it actually happens, crypto could definitely benefit, but the key point is how many empty promises this guy has made before. The main thing is how the Fed views it; just listening to Musk's nonsense isn't enough.
