Jack Dorsey is warning Americans of hyperinflation.
The Twitter CEO took to his own platform on Friday to deliver the ominous warning:
Hyperinflation is going to change everything,” Dorsey said.
“It’s coming.”
He added later that it would happen in the US soon, and then the world.
This comes as consumer price inflation sits at a 30-year high in the United States.
Some economic experts previously predicted that hyperinflation would hit the US back in March of this year, just as the economy started to get going again following the lockdons of 2020.

Others have chimed in on the situation as well:
Joe Biden sits at the center of this mess, as the economy has suffered greatly during the course of his administration.
