Some time ago, when the election battle was in full swing, the well-known right-wing host Tucker Carlson once asked Musk: What will happen if Trump loses the election?

Musk smiled, but revealed a hint of helplessness: "Then I'm done. How long do you think my sentence will be? I don't know if I can still see my children."

Now, with With Trump entering the White House for the second time, Musk, a gambling entrepreneur, has also ushered in his "spring" for .

Trump announced that Musk will lead the newly established "Government Efficiency Department". This news undoubtedly makes Musk the biggest winner of this political gamble.

However, his ambitions go far beyond that.

Government Efficiency Department, this department sounds full of "efficiency", is actually the product of the joint vision of Musk and Trump.

aims to "restructure" federal agencies by cutting government regulations and waste.

Although it is unclear how this department will operate, Musk will undoubtedly use this position to "clear the way" for his business empire.

After Trump won the election, Tesla stock price soared to US$350, a new high in two and a half years.

Musk’s net worth has also risen accordingly, reaching 335 billion US dollars.

And he will undoubtedly use this political advantage to continue to promote Tesla's development.

He may lobby Trump to continue the electric car tax credit policy, to encourage American users to buy electric cars.

At the same time, Tesla will also use its leading advantage in the electric vehicle market to release more affordable entry-level electric vehicles, and mass-produce the existing cybertruck to continue to dominate the market.

In addition, Musk may also use Trump’s political power to influence federal automobile safety enforcement, and will “protect” Tesla’s autonomous driving technology.

spacex, another of Musk’s “aces,” has received at least $15.4 billion in contracts from the U.S. government over the past decade.

With Trump coming to power, spacex will undoubtedly usher in more development opportunities.

Previously, SpaceX had a tense relationship with the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration), and was fined many times due to launch issues.

But with Trump taking office, this situation may change.

faa's supervision may become more relaxed, "loosening restrictions" for SpaceX's rocket launches.

At the same time, the leadership of the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) will also usher in a change, which is undoubtedly a major benefit for SpaceX’s Starlink satellite project.

Musk’s brain chip company neuralink may also benefit from the establishment of the Department of Government Efficiency.

Musk has repeatedly criticized the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration)'s lengthy approval process for new drugs and medical devices.

Now that he has more political influence, will undoubtedly speed up the approval process of neuralink products.

However, Musk’s political ambitions go far beyond that.

He posted a meme of himself "holding a sink in the President's Office" on the

He also "unexpectedly appeared" during Trump's phone call with Zelensky and had a brief conversation with Zelensky.

These actions reveal his desire for the political stage.

Musk even began to imitate Trump's "ruling by push", posting messages on the x platform to support Florida Senator Rick Scott as Senate President, and inviting the public to recommend Trump cabinet candidates.

He also expressed support for the president’s idea of ​​​​intervening in Fed policy, which is in sharp contrast to Fed Chairman Powell’s public attitude towards Trump.

But entering the government sector is also a double-edged sword for Musk.

He needs to learn "interest exchange" and "compromise" with different power agencies and politicians.

At the same time, this also means that he may need to keep a certain distance from Tesla and SpaceX, which will undoubtedly have an impact on the market value of these two companies.

So, can the world’s richest man, who is best at “multi-threading” work, become the world’s richest man and become a successful politician at the same time?

This is undoubtedly a question worth thinking about.
