Shortest answer is always money. The richest man got much richer and plans to get richer yet after this.

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. 

The bulk of the increase, more than $170 billion, has come since Election Day.
