The core concept of investment is to buy stocks to buy companies. To study the relative advantages and competitiveness of companies in the industry. The future development prospects of the industry, etc. The lower-risk investment method is to invest in monopolistic companies in industries that the world cannot change. Coca-Cola, Moutai, luxury brand Hermes, etc. Because the future cash flow discount can be very easy to predict, and the future development of the company can be seen more clearly. The higher risk is to invest in companies that can change the world, such as disruptive technology and new energy. The revolutionary innovation of science and technology creates brand-new industries and replaces traditional industries. You can refer to the invention of gasoline trucks in the past to replace steam engines. The invention of Internet e-commerce impacts the traditional retail industry. The current progress of new energy impacts the traditional gasoline truck industry in the near future. Will be completely replaced in the future. This investment method is similar to the philosophy of Ms. Mu Mu, and the investment philosophy of Sun Zhengyi’s Vision Fund.

Elon Musk is the richest person in the world, and he is now worth as much as Bill Gates and Warren Buffett combined! How crazy! His net worth tops $230 billion, which equals around 876000 Ferrari 488s, or 250 million iPhones or 62.5 billion Big Macs!!!
Also, he wants Bezos to know he's No.1. LOL...
Musk has added more than $60 billion to his fortune this year thanks to the strong performance of $Tesla(TSLA.US)$ as well as a recent share sale at SpaceX which valued the company at $100 billion.
He's so successful in managing the company and making investments. I believe he is the best entrepreneur and investor! Even Bill Gates &his $Microsoft(MSFT.US)$ and Buffett &his $Berkshire Hathaway-A(BRK.A.US)$ can't be comparable!
