opinions on how much it would affect inflation vary.
Inflation has ALWAYS been an M2/GDP calculation and this would not affect M2. Do Christmas bonus checks affect inflation? Not materially, because it doesn’t increase M2.
you know what increases M2? Printing 100s of billions of dollars to fund foreign wars and green energy grifts with nothing behind it.
This would be a re-distribution of existing money from government agencies to tax-paying citizens.
all that said I’d much rather see it go to taking down some debt.
From what Musk said they're proposal is that 20% would be cash returns to tax payers while 20% would go against the debt with the rest going towards balancing the budget.
They want to continue proof of concept and take that to the bond markets basically to get rates to decline. I'd bet with adults in charge that could happen which would further help to balance the budget as the cost on interest goes down.
As you said, this is essentially a tax return. It's only inflationary if they borrow to fund it.
I worry that there are a lot of spinning plates in the economy currently and just one coming down could cause a lot of others to drop. Inflation and the job market are both looming. That could derail a lot of this.

There's an argument that it won't be inflationary as your just swapping G for C.
Maybe they can fire up the old Arthur Anderson brand.

Perhaps you’re out of touch hero Crockett shouldn’t say out loud that $5000 won’t help anyone.
It’s the perfect statement for how out of touch you on the far Left are with reality.
Smart explanation 👌
