Despite The Feud, Donald Trump Has Still Made Elon Musk A Lot Richer
Musk lost $27 billion on Thursday amid his ongoing feud with his former boss, but he's still much richer than he was before he endorsed Trump. Elon Musk's feud with Donald Trump is already costing him big—Musk's fortune fell by $27 billion Thursday, with Tesla's shares sinking by 14%, as the pair took to blowing up their relationship in a public back-and-forth. Yet, despite the bitter breakup, which many figured from the outset was only a matter of time, Trump has still proven to be very good for Musk. The world's richest person, Musk is still $145 billion richer than he was before endorsing Trump last July, worth $394 billion as of 4 p.m eastern Friday. He's also $129 billion richer than when Trump was elected. After Musk spent nearly $300 million to help Trump get elected last November, Tesla's market capitalization soared to an all-time high of $1.5 trillion in December, thanks to what was widely viewed as a 'Trump Bump' given Musk's nearly unprecedented access to the president. In November, Trump announced he was tapping Musk to 'pave the way for my Administration to dismantle Government Bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure Federal Agencies', which Trump described as 'Essential to the 'Save America' Movement.' But Tesla's public market valuation has since fallen by more than a third from the December peak, to around $950 billion as of 4 p.m. eastern Friday, due in large part to investors' worries about Musk being distracted by his role as head of the Department Of Government Efficiency (DOGE) he and Trump created, and a widespread backlash against his aggressive cost cutting efforts during his 130 days leading the department, which he left on May 30. (Tesla's shares rebounded slightly by nearly 4% on Friday.) Despite the recent slump, however, Tesla's stock price remains nearly 20% higher than when Musk endorsed Trump, making Musk's nearly 12% stake in the EV maker (excluding options) worth $121 billion, or $18 billion more than the day he made the endorsement. The value of Musk's Tesla options, meanwhile, is up another $6 billion, to $41 billion. (Forbes discounted the value of Musk's options by 50% last January, after a Delaware Judge voided the underlying CEO Performance Award granted to Musk in 2018. Musk has appealed the court ruling.) The sniping back and forth between Musk and Trump has spooked Tesla investors, according to Wedbush analyst Dan Ives, who explained in a note to clients yesterday that 'investors fear that this Musk/Trump battle the regulatory environment for Tesla on the autonomous front over the coming years under the Trump Administration.' As the cofounder of seven companies, Musk has insulated himself somewhat against attacks on Tesla, currently his most valuable asset. He's added some $71 billion to his net worth over the past year thanks to the rising value of SpaceX in particular. The private rocket maker was most recently valued at $350 billion in a December tender offer, nearly double its valuation from around the time of Musk's Trump endorsement last summer, undoubtedly in part based on closer ties to the Trump administration. Musk's 42% stake in SpaceX is now worth $147 billion. Still, like Tesla, SpaceX—which counts NASA among its biggest clients—is potentially subject to the whims of the head of the executive branch as well. Fortunately for Musk, he also has xAI Holdings, which he formed in April when he merged his artificial intelligence company xAI with his social media company X in a deal that valued the combined company at $113 billion. As a result of that deal, and a series of earlier funding rounds by xAI at increasingly high valuations, the value of Musk's stake in the combined companies has soared by $45 billion since July, to $66 billion. Then there's his stakes in his brain-computer interface startup Neuralink and his tunneling venture Boring Company, which Forbes estimates together add another $12 billion to Musk's fortune. So Musk should be fine no matter whatever happens during the rest of Trump's four-year term—and he has a much bigger warchest should the spat devolve into all-out war. Musk is 72 times richer than Trump, whose net worth stands at an estimated $5.5 billion. Not that it's made Musk any less resentful. 'Without me,' Musk posted on X yesterday, 'Trump would have lost the election.'
