Industrialist Elon Musk said Wednesday that instead of further tightening monetary settings, the Federal Reserve should “immediately” lower interest rates or risk a “severe recession” in the U.S. economy.

Musk made the remarks in a post on Twitter, responding to a comment made by Tesmanian co-founder Vincent Yu, who predicted a “real economic recession” next year.
