Tesla CEO welcomed the prospect of an economic correction, saying that companies that represent 'value destroyers' need to die特斯拉首席執行官表示期待看到經濟調整的前景，稱代表“價值破壞者”的公司需要死亡

Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who has gained even more notoriety amid his purchase of Twitter and who has previously predicted an economic recession, claimed that the upcoming recession is "actually a good thing," a necessary "rude awakening" after a lax attitude from the COVID-19 pandemic.特斯拉首席執行官埃隆·馬斯克因收購推特而變得更加臭名昭著，他之前曾預測經濟衰退，聲稱即将到來的衰退“實際上是一件好事”，在新冠肺炎疫情造成的松懈态度後，這是一個必要的“猛然醒悟”。

A Twitter user asked Musk, "Do you still think we're approaching a recession?"一位推特用戶問馬斯克：“你仍然認為我們正在接近經濟衰退嗎？”

"Yes, but this is actually a good thing," the Tesla CEO responded. "It has been raining money on fools for too long. Some bankruptcies need to happen."“是的，但這實際上是一件好事，”特斯拉首席執行官回應道。“把錢花在傻瓜身上已經太久了。一些破産需要發生。”

"Also, all the Covid stay-at-home stuff has tricked people into thinking that you don’t actually need to work hard," he added, referring to the increasing number of workers working from home during and after the pandemic, and potentially referencing the lax attitude as a result of checks from COVID-19 relief bills. "Rude awakening inbound!"“此外，所有新冠居家辦公的事情都欺騙了人們，讓他們認為你實際上不需要努力工作，”他補充說，他指的是在新冠疫情期間和之後越來越多的員工在家工作，并可能指的是由于新冠肺炎救濟法案的支票而導緻的松懈态度。“猛然醒悟！”

"Based on past experience, about 12 to 18 months," Musk responded. "Companies that are inherently negative cash flow (ie value destroyers) need to die, so that they stop consuming resources."“根據過去的經驗，大約12到18個月，”馬斯克回應說。“本質上是負現金流的公司（即價值破壞者）需要死亡，這樣他們才能停止消耗資源。”

BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager, warned this week that the Federal Reserve's move to increase interest rates to offset record inflation may trigger a recession.全球最大的資産管理公司貝萊德本周警告稱，美聯儲為抵消創紀錄的通脹而采取的加息舉措可能引發經濟衰退。

"The Fed's hawkish pivot has raised the risk that markets see rates staying in restrictive territory," BlackRock said in a research note. "The year-to-date selloff partly reflects this, yet we see no clear catalyst for a rebound. If they hike interest rates too much, they risk triggering a recession. If they tighten not enough, the risk becomes runaway inflation. It's tough to see a perfect outcome."“美聯儲的鷹派轉向增加了市場認為利率保持在限制性區間的風險，”貝萊德在一份研究報告中表示。年初至今的抛售在一定程度上反映了這一點，但我們沒有看到明顯的反彈催化劑。如果他們加息太多，就有引發經濟衰退的風險。如果他們收緊得不夠，風險就會變成失控的通脹。很難看到一個完美的結果。
