These may be official figures, but there is absolutely no way Trump has lost 27% of his wealth. He’ll have made millions / billions on stocks, it just won’t be under his name. Putin 101.

It’s early. The donors and oligarchs will make a ton under Trump.

Trump one is very very inaccurate. It does not take into account the crypto profits his family made since inauguration since they’re harder to track (though its estimated around $1bn).

I don’t think this tells a consistent story. If Musk’s story was related to his government work, surely Trump himself would have increased his net worth too.
You could be making the point that Trump himself is doing what he thinks is right despite it hurting him financially but then the Musk line confounds that.
And the choice to be from election day instead of Inauguration day seems odd, like you used it to make a point.
So I’m just seeing data points, I assume the differences are for idiosyncratic reasons like the timing of a funding round for xAI.
