On November 6 local time, Donald Trump secured the 2024 U.S. presidential election, beginning his second term. He also became the first president to leave the White House and return after more than 120 years since Grover Cleveland in 1892. If anyone was happiest about Trump's win, it was Elon Musk. In a recent photo shared, Musk stood with the Trump family, holding the X child and smiling broadly, seemingly having integrated into the family. Musk put in a lot of effort and money to help Trump successfully get elected president. Reports indicate that he spent over $130 million (approximately 930 million yuan) to support Trump, making him one of the top-tier donors in this election cycle. "He is a person with personality. He is a special person. He is a super genius." Trump also expressed his gratitude for this benefactor's assistance, mentioning Musk specifically at a rally: "We must protect our geniuses. We don't have that many (geniuses)." Now, Tesla's stock price has soared. The stock jumped 15% in U.S. trading, as investors hoped to profit from Trump's return to the White House. Musk also released a chart early Wednesday morning, claiming it showed record high usage of his social network X. Already the world's richest person, Musk oversees a business empire made up of six companies, several of which have complex connections with the U.S. federal government. For example, SpaceX has become an increasingly important partner for NASA and the U.S. Department of Defense, with contracts worth billions of dollars. Tesla has bet its financial future on developing self-driving robot taxis, a high-risk venture facing severe regulatory hurdles. So when Trump takes office, Musk, as a loyal supporter, is sure to gain some benefits. Back in August at a rally, Trump announced: "I support electric vehicles. You know, I have to support them because Elon supports me very strongly, Elon. So I have no choice." However, as a political novice, is Musk really just 'gambling' on Trump to expand his business empire? It's important to note that if Trump loses, the Democratic Party will not let him off the hook. In response, Musk actually provided a true answer in an interview. "Before this election, I never participated in politics. The reason I am participating so actively this time is that if we do not elect Trump, I think America will lose its two-party system." "Let me explain, there are only 6 to 7 swing states in America now, and the vote margins in these states are very small, only about 10,000 to 20,000 votes apart." "What the Democrats are doing now is bringing in a large number of illegal immigrants to swing states, turning them blue (supporting the Democratic Party). Once these swing states turn blue, there will be no real elections in America. Because only the Democratic Party will remain." "Clearly, the Democrats will continue to operate this way, constantly bringing illegal immigrants into swing states, which will accumulate over time, making each subsequent election increasingly unfair." "If Trump does not win this time, America will not have fair elections." Clearly, Musk has focused on Trump's policies regarding illegal immigration. It's worth noting that during Trump's presidency, his immigration policies were known for being strict and restrictive, taking an unprecedented hardline approach to immigration management. Upon reflection, Musk's words make some sense. It seems that although Musk is an entrepreneur, he is very concerned about America's future. Of course, his 'gamble' also involves his own interests. Now that the dust has settled, it remains to be seen what benefits Trump will offer this biggest 'financial backer.'
