“影子总统”马斯克，最成功豪赌：身家一夜暴涨200亿美元（朗读版）｜E1108

▍原文

Donald Trump-backing Tesla CEO Elon Musk scored his own victory Wednesday as shares in the electric car company surged nearly 15%—adding roughly another $20 billion to the net worth of the world’s richest person.

The billionaire tech founder donated millions to a pro-Trump PAC, rallied on the former president’s behalf and swayed Americans to vote early with a $1 million-a-day sweepstakes.

His efforts paid off as Trump trounced Kamala Harris in the presidential election.
