Elon Musk is a mission-driven individual—always has been. It would be stupid to assume he’s motivated by personal financial gain. While wealth is a byproduct of his work, it is not the goal.

Some people argue that Elon is using his involvement with DOGE and government connections for self-enrichment. Yet, those same people also claim that Tesla’s stock decline—causing his net worth to drop by over $160 billion—is due to these very actions and political involvement. So which is it?

If Elon's primary goal were wealth accumulation, he could just start another company. xAI was founded less than 24 months ago and is already valued at $75 billion. He doesn’t need DOGE or political ties to grow his fortune.

Elon uses his wealth as a tool to achieve his goals and advance his missions. Every company he has founded operates with a mission statement focused on improving people's lives.

His work on DOGE is just over a month in—still in the early stages. Mistakes are expected in such as fast past environment, but they will be identified and corrected over time. In the long run, I believe people will look back with appreciation for the positive impact he has made—not just in business but also in government. Short term pain for long term gain.
