Larry Summers: ‘Trump's hoarding of Bitcoin assets is a “crazy idea”’

Larry Summers criticized Donald Trump's proposed plan to create a U.S. bitcoin reserve, calling it "crazy" and suggesting it would only serve special interest campaign donors.

Additionally, Summers commented on Elon Musk's pledge to reduce government spending by $2 trillion, pointing out that the total federal payroll isn't near that amount and noting the difficulty of major budget changes due to defense and elderly support commitments.
