PANews reported on December 30th that Elon Musk, in response to a post, stated that almost all of his "wealth" comes from Tesla and SpaceX stock, which will only appreciate in value as the companies produce and serve more products. He emphasized that his wealth growth is based on creating real value for the public, contrasting this with politicians like Bernie Sanders who "only take." He added that all Tesla and SpaceX shareholders (including employees) can share in the returns from rising stock prices.
