We’ll see. I doubt many more people will be buying a brand new Tesla as long as he heads the company. Xitter is still deep in debt and has competition from DJT himself. I can see Truth Social maybe buying out X as part of some quid pro quo. SpaceX will likely be the only big winner here.
You’re not being creative enough ;-) All Fed vehicle fleets will have to be Tesla within a short timeframe. And regulations limiting the rollout of self-driving vehicles in any way will be gutted. Also massive tariffs will apply to all imported EVs. Rural broadband contracts will all go to Starlink. Truth Social may or may not get merged with X, but regulations and regulators in that space will be gutted. All Fed infrastructure projects will all of a sudden require the Boring Company for some reason. A.I. regulations will always come out in Elon’s favour. FDA will be gutted and Neuralink will get fast tracked. NASA will be severely neutered and SpaceX will step in to fill the void where ever possible. NASA will be gradually reduced to a consultation / supporting role until it's no longer required. Missions will stear away from pure research and towards those with a clear profit motive like mining, space tourism and comms. Fun times ahead!
