In the latest issue of Fortune magazine, American technology giant Elon Musk was selected as the most powerful person in the business world in 2024. The founder of Tesla, SpaceX and X platform has topped the list with his significant influence in business, technology and social media, ahead of many technology and business giants. Following closely behind are several business leaders, including Nvidia CEO Huang Renxun, Microsoft's Satya Nadella, Berkshire Hathaway's Warren Buffett, and JPMorgan Chase's Jamie Dimon.

Fortune magazine pointed out that these selected business powerful people have a common characteristic: their decisions and behaviors have a wide impact on others around the world, especially in the fields of technology and economy.

Musk's business territory and huge influence

Musk is not only the number one on Fortune's list of the most powerful business leaders, but also the richest person in the world. The companies he controls include Tesla, the world's leading electric car company, SpaceX, a private space exploration company, and social platform X. In addition, he also owns emerging artificial intelligence company xAI and Neuralink, which focuses on brain nerve technology. His business territory spans multiple cutting-edge technology fields and has become an important force influencing the development of the global economy and technology.

It is worth noting that Musk's wealth has increased by billions of dollars recently due to the surge in Tesla's stock price. Tesla's market value exceeded $1 trillion last week, and its stock price continued to rise, allowing Musk's assets to continue to expand. This wealth growth is inseparable from Musk's innovation in the business and technology fields and his social media influence.

Crossing into politics: Musk's influence extends to election support

In addition to his position in the business and technology fields, Musk's influence in the political field is also becoming increasingly significant. Recently, the US political arena has once again focused on Musk's activities, especially during the election, when his support for Republican candidate Trump through his personal influence has attracted much attention. To support Trump's campaign, Musk founded a super political action committee called "America PAC" and donated $118 million to it for election activities. This not only makes Musk a key force in the election, but also allows him to demonstrate strong appeal in politics.

Musk also personally participated in some campaign activities, especially hosting several town hall meetings in the key swing state of Pennsylvania to help promote voter turnout. Trump specifically mentioned Musk's contribution in his victory speech, calling him a "rising star", indicating that Musk may gain more roles and influence on the political stage in the future. Trump also hinted that he hopes Musk will serve as a leader of a group focused on cutting government spending in the new government.

The intersection of business and politics: How Musk affects the global landscape

This inclusion in Fortune's list of the most powerful business leaders is both a recognition of Musk's business achievements and a reflection of his unique role in global affairs. As a widely influential technology tycoon, Musk's words and deeds have transcended the business world itself. He not only leads the trend in technological innovation, but also guides public opinion through his strong social media influence and even exerts influence on political decisions.

Musk's possible involvement in future U.S. policies, especially his potential role in cutting government spending, further deepens the presence of business leaders in political and economic affairs. The combination of technological development, innovative economy and political influence that he advocates not only represents the strong rise of an individual, but also marks the trend of modern business leaders gradually crossing over to the political field.

Social media and the global influence of technology giants

Under Musk's leadership, Tesla and SpaceX not only changed people's views on electric vehicles and space exploration, but also promoted global industrial upgrading through practical actions. After he took over the X platform, he used this platform to exert influence, from product promotion to political activities, which could be widely spread in a short period of time and have a far-reaching impact. This diversified influence makes Musk a leader among many technology leaders and also makes him an irreplaceable image in the hearts of the global public.

At the same time, as Musk has shown, technology giants around the world also influence global affairs through their voices on technological innovation and social media platforms. Apple's Cook, Microsoft's Nadella, Nvidia's Huang Renxun, and Meta's Zuckerberg are also shaping and leading the world's technology and business trends. Together with Musk, they form the most influential lineup of business leaders in the world today.

Deep integration of business, technology and politics

In the future, as the global economic and political landscape changes, business leaders like Musk will increasingly get involved in political and social issues. This not only means that companies need to continue to invest in business innovation, but also need to find new roles in social responsibility and global governance. Musk has crossed the business and political circles in his unique way, injecting new impetus into the development of global technology and opening a new chapter in the influence of modern technology giants on the political landscape.

The rise of Elon Musk is not only a symbol of personal wealth, but also a deep involvement of modern business leaders in global affairs. With the rise of more technology giants in the future, the interaction between the global economy, technology and politics will become closer. Under this trend, the movements of business leaders such as Musk will continue to influence the world and promote new trends in technology and social development.
