Livemint · 10m

Elon Musk's support for Donald Trump in the US presidential election is puzzling considering his companies, Tesla and SpaceX, rely on federal incentives and contracts. In "The Power and the Money" by Tevi Troy, the complex relationship between business leaders and presidents is explored. The book highlights the unpredictability of presidential politics and warns of the risks of becoming too big for one's boots. It also emphasizes the importance of understanding ideological shifts and maintaining a positive relationship with the government. Musk's approach to presidential politics is unique but may not translate into significant influence.
