In the past two days, a piece of news about Musk has attracted my attention in the overwhelming news of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
This news from Russian social media Telegram says that Musk, the world's richest man, is a popular candidate for the 2024 US presidential election, and he seems to be more popular than Biden and Trump .
To be honest, although this news is a bit abrupt, there are still possibilities.
At present, Trump will almost certainly run for the next presidential election. Although he lost in the 2020 general election, he is still the "most resourceful, experienced and most popular Republican people in the United States today.
As Trump's old opponent, Biden is almost impossible for him to run for the next president. At present, there is no candidate for the "Donkey Party" who is expected to be influential in the United States. If Musk ends up as an independent candidate, the 2024 election is likely to become a duo of him and Trump.
Although Musk has no experience in politics, he often expresses his opinions on social topics and recently criticized the Biden administration. He said:
"The real president is the person who controls the teleprompter, and the road to power is the road to the teleprompter."
( To be honest, I don't understand the meaning of this sentence very much, it is an allusion to "Deep" State”?)
Musk believes that the Biden administration has done very little. In comparison, former President Trump’s team is more efficient. Moreover, it is precisely because the Biden administration issued “much more money than before” that the highest inflation rate in the United States has emerged in 40 years. The principle of is very simple. The core of the economy is to "produce products and services", rather than "print money".
It seems that the new world's richest man seems to be a supporter of Trump, but in fact, Musk's philosophy is still very different from Trump.
Musk, known as Iron Man in the martial arts world, also called him " Little Ma Ge ".
At the beginning of 2020, his personal wealth was less than US$30 billion, ranking dozens of in the global rich list.
But that year, Brother Ma miraculously rose and climbed to the position of the world's top rich man in a very short time.
According to statistics from Forbes , at the end of 2020, Musk's net assets reached nearly US$137 billion, an increase of more than five times in just one year, becoming the third richest person on the planet.
By the end of 2021, Musk's wealth rose again, approaching a year, with net assets reaching US$265.4 billion, replacing Amazon founder Bezos and becoming the new world's richest man.
At that time, most Wall Street fund managers thought that he was just a flash in the pan because although Musk had a lot of gimmicks, only Tesla is the only one who really makes money, and its revenue is far from comparable to Amazon.
However, surprisingly, on April 5, 2022, Musk once again topped Forbes with a net worth of US$219 billion.
It seems that investors value Musk's possible prospects more than real revenue.
In the minds of many people, Musk is the chosen one and the pioneer in leading mankind to the sea of stars.
Since 2001, Musk began to propose his immigration to Mars plan . He said:
"I am willing to die on Mars , not just hit and die."
Many people think that it is just a fantasy and there is no feasibility at all. Unexpectedly, just the next year, Musk's spaceX company was established.
The story of later is already familiar to everyone. This company has become a legend in the aerospace field, and more and more people are beginning to believe that immigration to Mars is not an unrealistic dream.
Then there are Tesla, brain-computer interface ( human brain interacts with computers through neural fiber technology) and other awesome projects.
Then, because he couldn't stand the traffic jam, he set up the "The Boring Company" to dig a tunnel and built a high-speed car passage from his home to the company.
Musk almost turned all the awesomeness he had ever blown into reality.
Recently, he bought the famous social media for 44 billion US dollars, as if as long as he wanted to do it, there was nothing he could not accomplish.
When Tesla's stock rose wildly, almost everyone was absolutely incredible. Even Musk himself said:
"I think the price of Tesla stock may be a bit high now."
But there is no way. Everyone believes that he can turn stones into gold. From its listing in 2010 to 2019, Tesla's market value has increased by more than 200 times, but none of it itself has been profitable all year long. This can only be described as magic.
Think about it, what would it be like if Musk announced his candidacy for president?
