Elon Musk, Bill Ackman voice support for Trump after attack

Tesla (TSLA) CEO Elon Musk and billionaire hedge-fund manager Bill Ackman, among other business leaders, have taken to X (formerly Twitter) to express support for former President Donald Trump following his assassination attempt on Saturday. Puck News founding partner William Cohan joins Catalysts to discuss the political implications surrounding the corporate world's endorsements after this past weekend's events.
Cohan suggests this public show of support was likely a strategic move by the CEOs, allowing them to "declare their support for Trump without being attacked for it on social media." He notes that this "unfortunate incident" provided them with a "cover" to voice their backing.
Regarding the election outlook, Cohan says: "At this moment, I think the combination of Biden's poor debate performance, his subsequent attempts to rectify that, and this horrible incident over the weekend... most people at this point seem to be resigned to the fact that Trump is going to win. There's going to be a second Trump administration, and there's not much Biden can do about it, unfortunately."

yahoo is rubbish

Agreed! Complete garbage

Yahoo is owned by NSA ie verizon, verizon company is run by the NSA. Anything anti Democrat gets censored by "Yahoo"

[@micmousebg]

When the 'independent' 'expert' repeatedly says 'unfortunately', when commenting that Trump is gaining chances to win.

[@EnglishAbundance]

A billionaire supporting another billionaire... It's an investment for Elon Musk. If Donald Trump wins, Elon Musk will be awarded hundreds of millions of American taxpayer-funded government contracts and subsidies. Corruption.

[@tpassmedia]

@@micmousebg I was wondering if they claim to be “impartial” or not as a news source because I noticed that too and usually don’t tune into them. Not looking for another biased news source.

Yes. It's very obvious where William Cohen's allegiance lies.

[@diamondlion47]

@@oo7-ro6bu Idk, Republican presidents caused 10 of the last 11 recessions for one, they also have about half the GDP growth and much fewer jobs created, also Biden got us through Covid with strong economic growth and defeated the inflation spike from supply chain shut down and energy/food increase from Ukraine. I can go on but those are some of the key reasons.

[@GöktürkOraloğlu-g3u]

The best course of action if you lack market knowledge is to ask a consultant or investing coach for guidance or ass:stance. Speaking with an expert helped me stay afloat and grow my portfolio to about 65% since June, even though i know it sounds obvious or generic. I believe that is the most effective way to enter the business at the moment.

[@EgeBaturalp-e2v]

that's the more reason I prefer my day to day investment decisions being guided by an advisor seeing that their entire skillset is built around going long and short at the same time both employing risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying off risk as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, coupled with the exclusive information/analysis they have, it's near impossible to not out-perform, been using my advisor for over 2years+

[@BerkayTuğluk-h5k]

I've been considering but haven't been proactive. Can you recommend your advisor? Could really use some assistance.

[@EgeBaturalp-e2v]

"Nicole Anastasia Plumlee" is the licensed advisor I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with to set up an appointment.

[@BerkayTuğluk-h5k]

I looked up her name online and found her page. I emailed and made an appointment to talk with her. Thanks for the tip
