Tesla (TSLA)

Musk has built several successful businesses, but none are as synonymous with his name as Tesla.

With a net worth of $428 billion, according to Bloomberg, Musk is currently the richest person in the world, and Tesla equity remains his largest asset.

While Tesla’s stock is known for its volatility, the company remains a behemoth in the automotive industry. With a market cap of approximately $1.27 trillion, Tesla is more than 10 times the size of Ford and General Motors combined.

In 2024, Tesla produced 1,773,443 EVs and delivered 1,789,226 EVs. While both figures declined from 2023, Wall Street still sees potential upside in Tesla shares.

For instance, Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives has an ‘outperform’ rating on Tesla and a price target of $550 — roughly 35% above where the stock sits as of Jan. 29.

Cryptocurrency

Musk has long been one of the most influential voices in cryptocurrency.

In 2021, he made his stance clear: “I’m a supporter of bitcoin and the idea of cryptocurrency in general.”

At the time, he revealed that aside from Tesla and SpaceX, he personally owned Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Dogecoin (DOGE).

Musk’s words often move markets, with his comments sometimes triggering sharp price swings in the crypto space. However, he has been transparent about his intentions.

“If the price of bitcoin goes down, I lose money. I might pump, but I don’t dump,” Musk stated. “I definitely do not believe in getting the price high and selling, or anything like that. I would like to see Bitcoin succeed.”

Bitcoin, the world’s largest cryptocurrency, has gained significant momentum since then, soaring past $100,000. One reason it attracts crypto enthusiasts is its built-in scarcity. Unlike fiat currencies, Bitcoin can’t be printed at will by central banks. Instead, its supply is capped at 21 million by mathematical algorithms.

For those looking to gain exposure to cryptocurrencies, platforms like Robinhood Crypto allow users to buy and sell crypto with as little as $1 without any trading fees or commissions.

Robinhood Crypto has the lowest trading cost on average in the U.S. — meaning you could get up to 3.6% more crypto compared to trading on other platforms.

Real estate

In a March 2022 discussion on X about inflation, Elon Musk offered a straightforward piece of advice: “As a general principle, for those looking for advice from this thread, it is generally better to own physical things like a home or stock in companies you think make good products, than dollars when inflation is high.”

His suggestion came at a critical moment, as inflation in the U.S. was surging, with the consumer price index (CPI) hitting a 40-year high of 9.1% year-over-year in June 2022.

Musk had a point — real estate has long been considered a reliable hedge against inflation. When inflation rises, property values often increase as well, reflecting the higher costs of materials, labor and land. At the same time, rental income tends to go up, providing landlords with a revenue stream that adjusts with inflation.

These days, you don’t need to buy a property outright to invest in real estate. For instance, platforms like First National Realty Partners (FNRP) allow accredited investors to own shares in institutional-quality, grocery-anchored properties without the hassle of finding and managing deals themselves.

FNRP properties are leased to national brands like Whole Foods, CVS, Kroger, and Walmart, which provide essential goods to their communities.
