Honestly, the political stuff in 2025 was a mixed bag for Musk's wallet. I remember watching Tesla stock drop 8% in one day after he endorsed that controversial tariff bill, then bounce back when he walked it back. What's interesting is how his political activities affected different parts of his empire differently: Tesla: Some short-term volatility but overall stable SpaceX: Definitely benefited from defense contracts xAI: Gained regulatory advantages Social media ventures: More polarized user baseThe key thing most people miss is that Musk's political involvement gives him access - he can directly influence policies that affect his businesses. That kind of access is worth billions, even if it creates occasional headlines that spook investors. According to Bloomberg's analysis, the net effect was probably positive overall, but it's hard to quantify exactly how much.

As someone following neurotech closely, Neuralink's contribution to Musk's net worth is currently modest but has incredible growth potential. The company's valuation has been climbing steadily as they hit clinical milestones: 2023: $5 billion valuation after initial animal testing success 2024: $12 billion after FDA approval for limited human trials 2025*: $18 billion after promising early human resultsMusk likely owns 40-60% given his founding stake and continued involvement. So we're talking about $7-11 billion currently. What's interesting is that this valuation assumes future success - the current revenue is minimal since they're still in R&D phase. If Neuralink can successfully treat conditions like paralysis or severe depression, this could easily become a $100+ billion company, making it a much more significant part of his wealth portfolio. But for now, it's dwarfed by Tesla and SpaceX.

If you're tired of seeing Elon Musk content flooding your Twitter feed, there are several effective ways to clean it up. The most straightforward method is to mute Elon Musk - this means you won't see his tweets in your timeline, but you can still visit his profile if you want. Just go to his profile, click the three dots, and select "Mute @elonmusk". You can also mute keywords like "Tesla", "SpaceX", or "Musk" if you want to reduce related content too. Another option is to carefully curate who you follow - accounts that constantly retweet or quote-tweet Musk will keep bringing him into your feed. The algorithm also learns from your engagement, so avoid clicking on Musk-related content if you want to see less of it. It might take a few days for the changes to fully take effect, but you should notice significantly reduced Musk content.
