Musk's Gain: How Trump's Return Could Boost Musk's Empire

Elon Musk's support for Donald Trump's 2024 presidential campaign didn't go unnoticed. Now, with Trump back in the White House, Musk could see big benefits. Experts warn of a tricky "quid pro quo" relationship that could slash regulations and redirect government funds. Musk's companies, like Tesla and SpaceX, might win big. But at what cost?Trump's administration could lead to fewer rules for electric vehicles, which might hurt newer carmakers but help Tesla. Plus, his tariff plans could help or hurt Tesla's supply chain. SpaceX might land more government contracts, and Neuralink could face less scrutiny. X, the platform Musk owns, might also get a free pass. This relationship raises eyebrows. Experts say it's a potential conflict of interest. But how much will this matter? Only time will tell if Musk's big political bet pays off.
