Middle East war wipes out 500 million barrels of oil in seven weeks; supply chain recovery may take months to years
More than 500 million barrels have been removed from global oil supply in about seven weeks due to the impact of the Trump-Iran war, causing losses worth more than $50 billion in crude value. The shock, which began in late February and continues, is disrupting prices, storage and trade flows. Attention remains on the Strait of Hormuz, where traffic has partly resumed, though markets still watch for a possible renewed closure.

He described it as more generous than basic income, providing enough for a prosperous life beyond basic expenses. Musk also said AI and robotics would create far more goods and services than growth in the money supply, so there would be no inflation. Analysts and academics offered differing views on job losses, wages and retraining.
