💡 Elon Musk changes strategy: is it the end of millions for politics?
Elon Musk is (again) making headlines. But this time, it’s neither for a rocket nor a tweet. During the Qatar Economic Forum, the head of Tesla and SpaceX announced plans to significantly reduce his political spending.
Why this turnaround? What is behind this repositioning? And above all, what are the consequences for his companies — and the tech world?
📉 Why is Elon Musk cutting his political spending now?
Several reasons:
- 📉 Negative impact on Tesla: His positions have caused fluctuations in the image (and value) of his brands.
- 🧨 Political controversies: His controversial endorsements have sparked strong reactions, particularly after his support for Trump.
- 📊 More demanding market: By 2025, investors want stability, not controversies.
- 🔄 Need for refocusing: Musk wants to get back to basics: innovation.
⚡ What this changes for Tesla, SpaceX & Co
| Company | Key projects relaunched | Expected impact |
|---|---|---|
| Tesla | New electric models | + sales, better image |
| SpaceX | Launches + Starlink | Satellite domination |
| Neuralink | Brain-machine interface | Revolution in health |
