I had guessed that Musk’s net worth would double in the next four years — which would be something like $700 billion.

Elon Musk’s net worth has climbed by more than $200 billion in 2024, a massive increase in the same year that the world’s richest person spent at least $277 million backing Donald Trump and other Republican candidates. — Washington Post, Dec 15, 2024

Leaves him at $442 billion now. Just another 50% to hit that $700 billion. 🎯

$277 million to get $200 billion? As Lawrence Lessig highlighted so well in Rebublic Lost — political grift has a very high ROI. 💸
