Tesla Is Worth One Trillion Dollars!

Donald Trump’s election has made many unhappy and just as many happy, including Tesla shareholders.

Tesla has joined the very exclusive club of tech companies valued at over a thousand billion dollars, or one trillion, following Donald Trump’s victory in the U.S. presidential election. The stock price soared to over $320 per share, specifically $321.22 at the time of writing this article. We’re talking about a 31% increase since the results were announced!

If you haven’t kept up with the news in recent weeks, we confirm that this rise has nothing to do with any pro-electric vehicle stance by Donald Trump. He is a strong advocate of large engines and fossil fuels. Climate change is the least of his concerns, as evidenced by his desire to withdraw the United States from the Paris Agreement as soon as he gets his beloved Oval Office back.

Elon Musk and Tesla Playing with Fire

While all the American celebrities lined up behind his rival Kamala Harris, one man made the gamble of supporting Trump even though their views on the future of automobiles are at least as opposed as a XXL Burger with hormone beef and a Salad of Tofu and Chia Seeds. If you haven’t guessed who this man is, it is none other than Elon Musk.

This support cost the entrepreneur nearly $150 million, but it’s a drop in the bucket compared to what it has brought him in return. A risky bet, but a winning one. It’s now a question of how the new president plans to reward his BFF, who was invited to the very first official photo alongside his family! Maybe a little help with the circulation permissions for Robotaxi? That would be the least, and it falls within his prerogatives. We also know that a small political post in the president’s close circle wouldn’t be unwelcome to Musk.
