The Biggest Gains Come After Year 10 ⏳ Everyone wants to double their money now. But real wealth in stocks doesn’t work that way. Amazon, Google, Tesla… all looked like “just okay” companies in their first 10 years. The real magic—96% of their total value—came after that. Why? Because compounding takes time. The early years are quiet. The late years are explosive. But most investors don’t wait long enough. They sell after 2 years of “meh” returns… Right before the rocket takes off. So what’s the lesson? If you’ve done the work and picked a great business—give it time. Holding through the boring years is what separates average investors from wealthy ones. 📈 In long-term investing, patience isn’t just a virtue—it’s a weapon. 🔥 Follow @masteringwealth & @goodstudent_investing for the best investing content on Instagram 🔥 Source & credits: NFX, 2022 📝Note: Post includes opinions, not investment advice. . . #investing101 #investingstrategy #stockmarkets #msft #aapl #applestock #dividends #tsla #teslastock #dividendgrowthstocks #microsoft #billgates #dividendinvesting #investingeducation #stockstowatch #stockstobuy #stockstohold #stockmarketnews #stockmarket #hustle #nyse #nasdaq #investing101 #stocks #stockstotrade #intelligentinvesting #elonmusk #stevejobs

President Trump is slapping 25% tariffs on all cars imported to the United States, including from our immediate North American neighbors. He’s also placed a 25% tariff on certain parts used to build cars. It’s a decision that will likely supercharge the cost of new and used cars, but it’s also a gift to Tesla, the company run by Elon Musk, his biggest financial supporter in the presidential election. The new tariff regime comes at an auspicious time for Tesla. The company is dealing with the fallout of Musk’s promotion of far-right ideology and his involvement with the unpopular Department of Government Efficiency, which has sparked protests around the world. Tesla has recently relied on promotions and price cuts to boost sales, and yet it still sold fewer EVs in 2024 than it did in 2023 and is off to a rough start in 2025.

Elon Musk’s AI startup, xAI, has acquired his social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, he announced in a post on X Friday. “xAI has acquired X in an all-stock transaction. The combination values xAI at $80 billion and X at $33 billion ($45B less $12B debt),” Musk said in the post. “xAI and X’s futures are intertwined. Today, we officially take the step to combine the data, models, compute, distribution and talent.” The acquisition places X — the highly influential social media platform Musk purchased in 2022 under its former name, Twitter — firmly under the umbrella of Musk’s AI startup, which he founded in 2023 to compete with OpenAI. While xAI’s products, including its AI chatbot Grok, were tightly integrated into the X platform before this deal, Friday’s acquisition further combines two of Musk’s most high-profile companies. Musk — who also leads Tesla, SpaceX, and Neuralink — notes in his post that this deal values X at $33 billion (lowered from an enterprise value of $45 billion due to the company’s $12 billion in debt).

Elon Musk – who is worth over $260 billion and donated over $100 million to a pro-Trump super PAC – is now poised to be the incoming president’s most influential political and business adviser. Trump promised Musk the position as head of a new Department of Government Efficiency during a September appearance at the Economic Club of New York. Musk has nicknamed the not-yet-formed department DOGE, a nod to his meme cryptocurrency, causing the coin to jump in market capitalization over 6% in the last 24 hours. Trump promised Musk the position as head of a new Department of Government Efficiency during a September appearance at the Economic Club of New York. The role could give the billionaire executive the power to recommend deep cuts to what he thinks of as a “vast federal bureaucracy…holding back America in a big way.” Read more on what Trump’s win might mean for Elon Musk at the link in the bio 👆 Article by Rebecca Bellan and Aria Alamalhodaei Image Credits: Getty Images #TechCrunch #technews #artificialintelligence #AI #ElonMusk #Tesla #X

Elon Musk – the billionaire CEO of Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI, and the owner of The Boring Company, Neuralink, and X – took a sharp swing to the right this election to support president-elect Donald Trump, using his vast wealth, influence, and megaphone on X to influence the outcome of the election. Musk’s support came in spite of Trump’s anti-EV stance and climate change skepticism, and it’s a pivot from the executive’s relationship with Trump years ago.

President-elect Donald Trump announced that Elon Musk will co-lead the Department of Government Efficiency, the acronym of which spells out DOGE, Musk’s favorite cryptocurrency. The CEO of Tesla, SpaceX, xAI, and owner of X, Neuralink, and The Boring Company, will lead the department alongside biotech entrepreneur and former presidential hopeful, Vivek Ramaswamy, to pave the way for Trump’s administration to “dismantle Government Bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure Federal Agencies.” Notably, DOGE will “provide advice and guidance from outside of Government,” which suggests it will not be an official government agency that requires legislative approvals and funding. Rather, DOGE will partner with the White House and Office of Management & Budget, according to the press release.

*DJ Khaled voice* Another one. Tesla’s Cybertruck is facing its sixth recall since its launch a year ago. The recall affects 2,431 units, including certain 2024 Cybertrucks built between November 6, 2023 and July 30, 2024. A report from Tesla found that those trucks are or were equipped with a faulty drive inverter. “If the inverter stops producing torque, the driver loses the ability to apply torque to the vehicle using the accelerator pedal resulting in a loss of propulsion, which may increase the risk of a collision,” reads Tesla’s report. In October, Tesla recalled 27,185 Cybertrucks due to a delay in the rearview camera image that could impair driver visibility. Unlike that recall, which required an over-the-air update, Tesla will need to physically replace the recalled drive inverter, which the EV-maker said it would do free of charge. Other Cybertruck recalls this year include one in April due to a sticky accelerator pedal, and another in June to fix potentially loose trim pieces and defective windshield wipers.

🐕 DOGE 🐕 President-elect Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that one of his top donors, Elon Musk, will co-lead the newly created Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE. It’s a not-even-thinly-veiled nod to the popular Doge meme, depicting a cute Shiba Inu, which is also the inspiration behind the meme cryptocurrency Dogecoin. The commission, which will advise Trump, isn’t an actual government department — those have to be affirmed by Congress. But Musk seems to have successfully turned a joke he made on X in August into an actual advisory role in the Trump administration. Musk has been a known proponent of the Doge meme for years.
