Telsa is one of only a handful of American corporations that have reached a $1 trillion market cap, joining the likes of Apple and Nvidia. The billionaire is the boss of SpaceX, the aerospace firm he founded in 2002.
- In 2022, the business mogul acquired Twitter for $44 billion, later renaming the social media platform X and scrapping the bird logo.

Another startup led by Musk is xAI, which, according to the Wall Street Journal, is in talks to raise funding to at a $40 billion valuation.
- Trump added that the pair will work to "slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure Federal Agencies." It will also seek to "create an entrepreneurial approach to Government never seen before," though exactly how it will function remains unclear.
