How Trump's new star' Elon Musk stands to benefit from his presidency
Briefly

Elon Musk’s presence in the Oval Office and his significant financial backing of Donald Trump signal a strategic partnership that could bolster both their interests. Musk has invested over $100 million into Trump’s campaign and has already begun witnessing returns on that investment, as Tesla shares soared by 15% following Trump’s victory announcement. This close association benefits Musk significantly, enabling potential tariff advantages for Tesla and bolstering SpaceX's government contracts.
Trump, while acknowledging Musk during his victory speech, emphasized the importance of protecting 'geniuses' in the U.S., indicating a favorable position for Musk within his administration. Musk's financial and public support for Trump's campaign suggests a mutual support system that will likely enhance his business interests, particularly in terms of government contracts and favorable policies. Analysts predict significant increases in Tesla’s market value due to Musk's strong ties with the new administration.
