Rijkdom Musk stijgt na verkiezingen VS

By Chris Dinsdale

February 20, 2025 - Elon Musk’s companies have surged in value by $613m since the U.S. election in November. Musk’s net worth now stands at $397bn -- an increase of more than 50% -- reflecting the billionaire’s unprecedented political power.

Tesla was the biggest winner among Musk’s companies in the immediate aftermath of the election with shares peaking in December, since falling by 25% to $1.17tn. Space X, founded in 2002 by Musk, became the world’s most valuable tech startup in November, with a $350bn price tag.

Musk’s AI startup, xAI, released its Grok-3 chatbot this month, and is in advanced talks with Dell Technologies Inc. to secure more than $5bn of server capacity to train and operate its AI models.

While X (formerly Twitter) have opened talks to raise $44bn -- original purchase price -- to relieve platform’s debts.
