To become the first ever trillionaire is quite a feat. One way he has done it; his companies do not pay dividends. I have made upwards of $20,000 trading Tesla shares over the years. I finally divested in Elon Musk operations because he never pays dividends.
I have been waiting for a SpaceX IPO for years. But I can no longer stomach Elon Musk.
Also like Donald Trump he uses speculation to control share prices.
Will SpaceX be the first Elon Musk owned business to pay a dividend?
The other thing I divested from is that the annual votes by investors at Tesla are non-binding. He does whatever he wants – with board approval. Elon Musk is clearly dictatorial.
And then he has zero social grace, but wants to be a part of everything; like the Belfast Riots.
Add to the list; Starlink’s emerging role as a war monger and proprietor – when you consider Berlfast and Elon Musk increasing role in political interference. And Yes he is riding on Donald Trumps coattails: “In Ukraine, Starlink evolved from a humanitarian tool into the backbone of military command and control. By early 2026, the system supported approximately 66,700 terminals, funded largely by the U.S. Department of Defense and allied nations”.
Previously, for example, Musk refused to activate Starlink in Ukraine to enable an attack in Crimea. Command and ultimate control. Just what we need more of in the world, from an AI sponsor.

[I was kicked off Twitter for insignificant reasons, but it is barely worth a mention. Both Twitter and X are havens for propaganda, and experiments in social behavioral control. Like Reddit, the site has no value to me. Reddit is a free survey site – as in not paid for your opinion. No company mentioned within the brackets has any value – to me.]
