特朗普的再次当选可能让埃隆·马斯克成为最大受益者。马斯克的社交媒体平台X正寻求以440亿美元的估值从投资者那里融资，这与马斯克收购该公司（前身为Twitter）的价格相同。尽管X在马斯克接手后收入大幅下降，但在特朗普当选后，情况似乎有所好转。马斯克对特朗普的支持以及他被任命监督政府效率部门，都为他的公司带来了巨大利益。广告商开始回归X平台，投资者也成功出售了债务。这使得X能够以最初“高价”的估值寻求资金，并整合金融交易和人工智能技术。

🤝马斯克支持特朗普并成立政治行动委员会，在特朗普当选后，马斯克被任命监督政府效率部门，这使他对联邦支出拥有了重要影响力。

🚀马斯克的公司，包括特斯拉和SpaceX，多年来获得了数十亿美元的政府资助。他与特朗普总统的密切关系正在使他的企业受益，而不仅仅是政府合同。

📣在马斯克接管X后，由于内容问题和马斯克本人的一些争议性言论，该平台上的广告商大量流失。然而，大选之后，一些广告商已经表示要回归。苹果等知名品牌已经开始在X上投放广告，这是多年来的首次。

💸X的一些投资者一直在努力出售他们的债务，但最近却成功了。《彭博社》报道说，有些人能够以“不低于面值的折扣”出售数十亿美元的债务，这意味着他们很可能收回了大部分甚至全部的投资。

Elon Musk may be the biggest beneficiary of Donald Trump's re-election, surpassing even Trump himself.

According to a new report from Bloomberg, Musk's social media platform X is currently looking to raise money from investors at a valuation of $44 billion. If that number sounds familiar, it's because that's precisely what Musk paid for the company formerly known as Twitter when he acquired it in October 2022.

In the years since Musk took over and rebranded the entire platform as X, its revenue has plummeted by nearly half of what it made as Twitter. That's billions of dollars in lost revenue.

Musk, alongside his financial backers, now seems to have overpaid for the company. One investor, Fidelity, calculated in September of last year that its investment had lost 79 percent of its value compared to when Musk acquired it.

However, the U.S. presidential election changed the game. Musk threw his support behind Trump, establishing a PAC to back the Republican candidate with hundreds of millions of dollars. That investment paid off when Trump won. Now, Trump has appointed Musk to oversee the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), granting him significant influence over federal spending.

Musk's companies, including Tesla and SpaceX, have secured billions of dollars in government funding over the years. However, his close relationship with President Trump is now benefiting his businesses in ways beyond government contracts.

Since Musk took over X, the platform has seen a significant loss in advertisers due to content issues and some of Musk's own controversial statements. Nevertheless, after the election, some advertisers have signaled their return. While it's unclear how much they'll spend compared to previous campaigns, notable brands like Apple have begun running ads on X for the first time in years.

Additionally, some investors in Musk's X, who were struggling to sell off their debt, recently found success. Bloomberg reports that some were able to offload billions of dollars of this debt at "no discount to face value," meaning they likely got back most if not all of what they put in.

With X preparing to enable financial transactions on the platform and integrate Musk's AI company, xAI, and its Grok chatbot, the company is now seeking funds at the same $44 billion valuation Musk originally "overpaid." Thanks to Trump's election, Musk is now in a stronger position to raise the necessary capital.
