Who is the most profitable person in 2023?It's the "madman" Musk.
Recently, Forbes announced the 10 richest people with the most wealth growth this year, and Musk ranked first in the world with an increase of 108.4 billion US dollars, which is converted to more than 770 billion yuan!
Musk's current net worth has reached 254.9 billion US dollars, or about 1 yuan82 trillion yuan.
Not long ago, foreign media reported that Musk has been in charge of Twitter for more than a year, and Twitter's income has been nearly halved, because Musk's various "mouths" have offended Twitter's Party A.
But Musk didn't care, and reprimanded the Disney boss in public, saying: "Get out of you, don't try to kidnap me with money!".”
Just when the madman's unabashed mouth made Twitter's future look uncertain, Lao Ma liked to mention the most profitable person of the year, and it seems that Twitter's business really has little impact on his wealth.
If you put the hardest words, you will make the most money!The madman Musk is "running wild" on the road to making money in a way that "does not speak of martial arts".
Musk's wealth has skyrocketed, first of all, thanks to Tesla. Since the beginning of this year, Tesla's stock price has soared, and the company's market value has also risen.
At its peak, Tesla's market capitalization exceeded the $1 trillion mark, which also put Musk back to the position of the world's richest man.
In fact, as early as 2021, Musk became the richest man in the world because of the explosion of Tesla's stock price, when Lao Ma's net worth reached an astonishing $300 billion.
He also set a record: the first person in the world to be worth more than $300 billion.
However, in the second year, Tesla's stock price fell rapidly, and Lao Ma's net worth also followed.
This allowed Musk to set another record: the first person in the world to lose more than $200 billion in 1 year.
It can be seen that Lao Ma and Tesla have long been deeply bound, and if you want to know if Lao Ma has made money in the future, just look at Tesla's stock price.
In addition to Tesla, Musk also has a money printing machine that has also started to turn this year, and that is SpaceX.
According to the Financial Associated Press, not long ago, it was rumored that SpaceX will be priced at $97 per share, with a valuation of nearly $180 billion.
Although it has not yet been listed, this valuation has made it one of the most "expensive" unicorns in the world.
At the same time, Musk also announced that SpaceX's Starlink business has broken even and is on track to become profitable by the end of 2023.
This undoubtedly makes the capital market have more high hopes for SpaceX, and the future "money" is unlimited.
Don't look at Musk's mouth, he sprays this and that all day long, but his strategic vision and ideas are definitely the top in the world.
When we exclaim that the old horse is crazy about making money, we also need to think about a question, what did Musk do right?
In my opinion, the main reason for Lao Ma's success is his fanatical pursuit of technology.
Everyone knows that science and technology are the primary productive forces, but science and technology also need massive investment.
Especially in the contemporary society with the explosion of science and technology, there are more and more subdivisions of science and technology, and research and development are getting deeper and deeper.
Therefore, we see that in high-tech fields such as aerospace, research and exploration are basically led by the state, and ordinary private companies can take some small orders at most, and it is impossible to play the leading role.
However, Musk is different, he wants to be the protagonist of scientific and technological research and development, and he does not hesitate to gamble everything for this.
For example, when he was working on SpaceX's Falcon rocket, he bet all his net worth and almost bankrupted himself, until the last experimental launch was successful, and Lao Ma did not have "wealth to zero".
But before he engaged in rockets, Lao Ma had already been rich and free, and in the eyes of outsiders, there was no need for him to force himself so hard.
The reason why Musk dares to do this, to put it bluntly, still believes in that sentence, technology is the primary productive force.
In the contemporary society has made a breakthrough in science and technology, a large amount of capital will follow, and Lao Ma can use capital to further break through, as long as such a positive cycle is formed, then the wealth skyrocketing is a matter of course.
Having said all this, what does Musk have for us?
First of all, the two fields in which Lao Ma has made achievements belong to the traditional manufacturing industry, whether it is automobiles or rockets, they are industries that have been born for about a century.
Why can the traditional manufacturing industry still have such an amazing explosive power?It is also because of its long birth time and wide application, so it has a huge market foundation.
As long as breakthroughs are made in this field and newer and iterative technologies are obtained, then massive demand will follow.
That's why we often say that manufacturing is the foundation of the country and the foundation of the economy, and this sentence is not wrong at all.
Secondly, in recent years, we have made many major breakthroughs in the field of science and technology, but there is still a long way to go in terms of civilian transformation.
R&D of science and technology is not that it does not eat the fireworks of the world, on the contrary, the huge driving force of capital for science and technology should be paid attention to.
Many people always have some negative impressions when they mention capital, but in fact, behind every great progress of human beings, it is inseparable from the powerful thrust of capital.
Thirdly, perhaps our innovation should be more focused, especially our Internet companies, which have made amazing achievements in the past, and have also made "volume" a theme in the industry.
And as the track gradually becomes crowded, the volume of Internet companies gradually becomes a little tasteless, and more and more enterprises invest massive resources in the service industry track and fight into a red sea, such as takeaway, community vegetable sales, etc.
Of course, I'm not saying that innovations such as take-out and grocery sales are useless, but these innovations have also brought great convenience to our lives.
It's just that a huge amount of resources are invested in such a track, isn't it also a waste in a sense?
Therefore, when we envy and praise Musk, we are also looking forward to our own Musk appearing as soon as possible, and I believe that day should not be far away.
