A stock split is one of those investing concepts that sounds confusing until you actually see it visually. The graphic shows exactly what happens during a stock split and why it does not change the total value of your investment. Companies use stock splits to make each share more affordable and to increase liquidity which allows more investors to participate. When a company performs a stock split it increases the number of shares available but the total value of the company stays the same. This means your overall investment does not change even though the number of shares you hold increases. The price of each share is adjusted based on the split ratio which keeps the total value equal. For example if you own one share of Amazon worth three thousand dollars and the company does a twenty for one split you end up with twenty shares worth one hundred fifty dollars each. Nothing about your total value changes because twenty shares at one hundred fifty dollars equals the same three thousand dollars. The split simply breaks the value into smaller parts. Many companies like Apple, Tesla, Amazon and Nvidia have used stock splits in the past. They often choose to split their stock once the price becomes too high for new investors who may feel priced out. A split also sends a signal of confidence because companies usually perform them when their share prices have grown significantly. Understanding stock splits helps you make smarter investing decisions. When you know that your value stays the same you avoid the confusion that comes from seeing your share count suddenly increase. You also recognize that a lower share price after a split does not mean the company is dropping in value.

Success does not have a deadline. The graphic in this post shows the ages at which some of the world’s most famous entrepreneurs became billionaires. What it proves is that wealth can be created early, late, and everywhere in between depending on timing, vision, and perseverance. Mark Zuckerberg became a billionaire at age twenty three which makes him one of the youngest on the list. Sergey Brin and Larry Page reached billionaire status at age thirty through Google. Jeff Bezos reached his billionaire milestone at age thirty five after years of building Amazon when online shopping was still a new idea. Others reached the milestone later in life. Elon Musk became a billionaire at forty one while scaling Tesla and SpaceX after many failures and setbacks. Bernard Arnault reached billionaire status at forty eight through luxury brands and long term business thinking. Some reached the milestone even later. Warren Buffett became a billionaire at age fifty six after decades of consistent investing and value based decisions. Amancio Ortega, the founder of Zara, became a billionaire at age sixty five which shows that massive wealth can still be built late in life. This list proves that there is no perfect age for success. What matters is the willingness to start, learn, take risks, and keep going. The timeline looks different for everyone but persistence always pays off somewhere along the journey. 💬 Comment “Stocks” if you want a link to see my dividend portfolio and learn how long term investing builds wealth step by step.

As part of his massive new compensation package, Musk could earn up to $1 trillion in stock options if he reaches several major milestones, and one of the biggest is deploying 1 million Optimus humanoid robots. First revealed in 2021, Optimus is built to take over dull, repetitive, or dangerous tasks – everything from factory labor to serving drinks, or even assisting in public safety. Musk says these robots could make “working optional” and eventually support Mars colonization. However, critics argue the vision is still far off. Tesla’s earliest “prototype” was just a person in a costume, and the current units still require human assistance for simple actions. Even so, with automakers like Hyundai, Rivian, and Xpeng entering the robotics race, experts say the boundary between electric vehicles and robots is quickly fading, and whoever perfects humanoid automation first could dominate a multi-trillion-dollar industry. 👉 Follow us @FutureTech for more! 🔌

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).

🚨💡 During Tesla’s Q3 Earnings Call, Elon Musk floated a game-changing idea that’s barely being talked about, transforming Tesla’s entire fleet into a giant distributed AI network. He explained that idle Teslas could act as powerful inference nodes, each with roughly 1 kilowatt of AI processing power, eliminating the need for massive data centers. With tens or even hundreds of millions of cars worldwide, Tesla could harness up to 100 gigawatts of computing power, all with built-in power and cooling. In short, Musk’s vision turns every parked Tesla into part of a global, self-powered supercomputer. #ai #artificialintelligence #aitools #aihacks #chatgpt #tech #technology

🔥👀 Elon Musk and Sam Altman have reignited their long-standing rivalry after a public dispute over a Tesla Roadster refund that Altman claims he never received despite waiting 7.5 years. Altman posted screenshots showing he paid $45,000 in 2018 to reserve a second-generation Tesla Roadster and later tried to cancel the order, only to have his refund request email bounce back. Musk swiftly replied online, accusing Altman of “leaving out Act 4,” where the refund was allegedly processed within 24 hours, and criticized him for telling a one-sided story. The Roadster, originally unveiled in 2017 as the “fastest production car ever,” still hasn’t entered production. Musk maintains the new version will include “crazy technology” and says a demo is coming soon. #ai #artificialintelligence #aitools #aihacks #chatgpt #tech #technology

😲🧠 Elon Musk predicts that within 20 years, humans could potentially upload their consciousness into humanoid robots. In a recent interview, he explained that brain–computer interfaces like Neuralink might one day digitally preserve our memories and identity. Paired with Tesla’s Optimus robot, this could allow a version of yourself to keep walking, thinking, and talking, even after your physical body is gone. While it sounds like science fiction, Musk considers it a serious step in human evolution. Neuralink is still in early testing, but rapid progress could make mind transfer a reality sooner than anticipated. #ai #artificialintelligence #aitools #aihacks #chatgpt #tech #technology
