Elon Musk has clearly peaked. What now?

Elon Musk's net worth has gotten stuck in the 400 billions. If it was going to go up higher it would have done so by now, taking into account that his team is in the white house right now.

SpaceX has also clearly peaked as they got their reusable rocket working, but beyond that there is not much else to be done in terms of technological revolution for SpaceX, and moon mining is still many decades away.

Tesla has also peaked as their vehicles aren't getting any cheaper, and they are now facing global competition in the electric vehicle market from BYD, significantly limiting their future expansion outside of the US.

The social media company X also appears to be holding on to its market share when it comes to users, and does not really have any further scope for growth, unless Elon were to actually buy tiktok.

This leaves Grok the AI, which is left attached to Tesla products and to be used on twitter. Which limits the number of users to the number of people already using Elon Musk's products and services. That is, Grok AI itself is less a product, and more an accessory to Tesla products.

Elon Musk has also been talking of opening up a video game company, but by the looks of it, it is pretty much apparent that the video gaming industry is going to be far more competitive than it was when Amazon tried to get into it.

All in all, it becomes apparent that Elon Musk's net wealth has peaked in the 400s of billions and that the market share of his companies is also soon going to peak due to the limited size of the American market, and the amount of competition from other companies in the global market. That is to say, Elon Musk and his companies have peaked, and we are unlikely to see anything else truly revolutionary come out of them. Including the robotics side of things, where the humanoid robots if they make it, would still end up being overpriced in relation to international product prices, and likely even middle income American budgets.

In conclusion:

The US is not going to lead in any further tech revolutions or new era of technological innovation or ideas. What the US is going to lead in at best is iterative improvements so for the next 30-50 years the only thing we can expect from America is improvements in products and ways of doing things that already exist but better.

This would also mean that the global market is going to continue eating up the US share of the global market, as the US market fails to add additional layers of complexity and income brackets to its own economy, due to all wealth accumulating in a few hands.

US market is reaching its peak global market share. It will not expand beyond this point, but will always be at risk of shrinking beyond this point, until one day it finally does. US economic growth will remain slower than the global economic growth, as that is the only way that the US can remain competitive in the market. Cutting costs forever until there are no more costs left to cut.

The last innovative billionaire in the US is done. It is over now. The CEO of Nvidia doesn't count, as he is currently doing more marketing than actual product to match the advertised quality. OpenAI also doesn't count because we do not have AGI yet. They can be counted if they ever manage to actually make smarter than human AI which is very likely to be never.
