Elon Musk, the ‘super genius’ behind Trump's election win, set to face pros and cons under 47th US president

Hindustan Times  

Elon Musk, the owner of SpaceX, Tesla, and social networking platform X, has become the focus of attention with Donald Trump's US presidency. He went him to label him as a “super genius”, adding that “We have to protect our geniuses.” Musk contributed at least $119 million to Trump's campaign, making him a significant player in the US presidential election. In premarket trade on Wednesday, shares of Musk's electric vehicle manufacturer, Tesla, surged 12% as investors bet that Trump's victory would also benefit Musk's largest public holding. Daniel Ives, tech analyst at Wedbush Securities, stated that Trump may approve Musk's vision of fully autonomous cars and a fleet of so-called “robotaxis” that can provide rides without a driver on board, CNN reported.
