Is Trump Secretly Making Elon Musk Richer?

What if I told you that Elon Musk just made over $90 billion—yes, billion—with a single political bet?

Sounds crazy, right? But it’s true.
Musk’s massive donation to Donald Trump’s campaign wasn’t just about politics. It was a calculated business move—one that’s already paying off big time.
By the end of this article, you’ll see exactly how Musk is leveraging Trump’s policies to supercharge Tesla, SpaceX, and his personal fortune—and why some believe he’s about to become the richest person in history.
Let’s break it down.

Musk’s Political Pivot: From Beef to Backer

Musk has never been one to blindly follow political norms. In fact, just a few years ago, he was publicly beefing with Trump over climate policies.
But now? He’s one of Trump’s biggest financial backers—to the tune of over $100 million.
So… what changed?
Simple: Money. Power. Influence.
Here’s what we’ll break down:
✅ How Trump’s election instantly added billions to Musk’s net worth.
✅ The hidden deals behind Musk’s donations.
✅ Why Tesla and SpaceX stand to profit massively from Trump’s policies.
✅ And the real reason Musk is playing this political game.
Stick around, because what you’re about to read is mind-blowing.

The $100 Million “Investment”

Officially, he gave $74.95 million to the America PAC—a political action committee he created to support Trump. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
Reports suggest his total contributions are well over $100 million if you include “dark money” donations—anonymous political funding that isn’t publicly disclosed.
But Musk isn’t stupid. He’s not just throwing money away.
This wasn’t a donation—it was an investment.
And boy, has it already paid off.

The $90 Billion Windfall (So Far)

Since Trump won the election on November 5th, Tesla’s stock has shot up by 40%.
Musk owns about 715 million Tesla shares, so that price jump alone added $72.3 billion to his net worth.
And it’s not just Tesla.
SpaceX—Musk’s other billion-dollar baby—has also exploded in value.
Before the election, SpaceX was valued at $210 billion. Now? $255 billion. That’s a 21% jump—adding another $18.9 billion to Musk’s fortune.
So just by betting on Trump, Musk has raked in over $90 billion in a matter of months.
Not bad for a guy who once said, “I prefer to stay out of politics.”

Why Wall Street Loves Trump for Musk

Now, why is Wall Street suddenly bullish on Musk’s companies?
Simple: Trump’s policies directly benefit them.
Let’s start with corporate taxes.
Trump wants to slash corporate tax rates from 21% to 15%—but only for companies manufacturing in the U.S.
Guess which two companies massively manufacture in America?
✅ Tesla—with factories in California, Texas, New York, and Nevada.
✅ SpaceX—building rockets in Texas, Washington, and Florida.
Lower taxes = bigger profits = higher stock prices = Musk getting even richer.
But here’s where it gets even more interesting.

The EV Twist: Hurting Competitors, Helping Tesla

Ironically, one of Trump’s biggest proposals might actually help Tesla by hurting its competition.
Trump has hinted at removing electric vehicle tax credits—which sounds bad for Tesla, right?
Not exactly.
See, Tesla already sells EVs profitably. But its competitors—Ford, GM, and Rivian? They rely on those tax credits to make their EVs affordable.
So if Trump kills those credits, Tesla keeps selling cars, while other automakers struggle to compete.
It’s a brutal move—but one that could give Musk an even bigger stranglehold on the EV market.

Beyond Money: Influence & Deregulation

But Musk isn’t just benefiting from Trump’s tax cuts—he’s also getting a seat at the table.
SpaceX has long been at war with the FAA over launch approvals. Musk has even publicly complained that government red tape is slowing down progress.
Well, guess what?
Trump is now pushing for massive deregulation in industries like aerospace and self-driving cars—two areas where Musk wants fewer government restrictions.
Translation?
🚀 SpaceX launches could get faster and cheaper.
🚗 Tesla’s Full Self-Driving tech could get approved nationwide, quicker.
And that’s not all.
There’s even speculation that Musk could play a role in diplomatic negotiations with China.
Why?
Because Musk already has strong ties with the Chinese government—and Trump may use that to his advantage.
If that happens, Musk’s global influence will reach insane levels.

The Bottom Line

So, let’s put it all together.
Musk invests $100 million in Trump’s campaign.
Tesla’s stock skyrockets, adding $72.3 billion to his fortune.
SpaceX gets a $45 billion valuation boost.
Trump’s tax cuts, deregulation, and EV policies all benefit Musk’s companies.
Musk’s government influence expands, potentially impacting self-driving cars, space travel, and even China relations.
At this point, it’s not even a debate—Trump isn’t just helping Musk.
He’s making him filthy rich.
