    It’s actually worse than than because winning the election has been a big windfall for Elmo to the tune of $70 billion: https://www.cnbc.com/2024/11/11/elon-musk-is-70-billion-richer-since-trump-victory-due-to-tesla-surge.html

    It’s more like he got a 34,900% return on investment. If you include the $44 billion he “spent” on Twitter that brings the ROI down to a still impressive 58%, outperforming pretty much any market or fund.

    They really are good businessmen, but the foxes are now in control of the hen house. Good luck everyone else!

        Yes, that is unfortunately the measure capitalism uses to judge success. Something something invisible hand I guess.
