如果说英伟达的黄仁勋是商界的兔八哥，独自包揽棒球场上的所有位置，那么埃隆·马斯克就是它的阿甘正传，在离奇且影响深远的事件中心凭空现身。
If Nvidia’s Jensen Huang is the business world’s Bugs Bunny, playing every position on the baseball field by himself, Elon Musk is its Forrest Gump, materializing at the center of events both strange and consequential.
仅在过去 10 天里，马斯克就开出 10 亿美元支票助埃里森家族打造右倾媒体帝国；以巨额 SpaceX 债券发行考验市场神经；启动史上最大企业并购和史上最大慈善捐赠；并用一辆真正的飞行汽车为所有企业演示日树立新标杆。在远离华尔街的领域，他通过切断乌克兰的星链服务重塑了美国外交政策——这一举动足以说明谁在掌权，以至于特朗普总统宣称是他扭转了这一决定——并以本周期将近 4.5 亿美元的支出主导了中期选举冲刺阶段。
In just the past 10 days, Musk has cut a $1 billion check to help the Ellisons build a right-leaning media empire; tested market jitters with a gargantuan SpaceX bond offering; set in motion the largest-ever corporate merger and the largest-ever philanthropic gift; and set a new standard for all corporate demo days with an actual flying car. Further from Wall Street, he reset US foreign policy by cutting Ukraine off from Starlink — a move that says enough about who’s in charge that President Donald Trump claimed credit for reversing it — and dominated the midterm-elections homestretch with spending that will near $450 million this cycle.
在去年 DOGE 事件后的崩溃之后，许多人以为马斯克已被阉割。他输掉了对 OpenAI 的诉讼。SpaceX 宏大的 IPO 招股说明书引来投资界哄笑，而该群体通常倾向于相信离谱的承诺。但就像 X 一样，马斯克变得更强大，也更处于金融、政治和文化的中心。
After his post-DOGE meltdown last year, many had thought Musk had been neutered. He lost his lawsuit against OpenAI. SpaceX’s grandiose IPO prospectus drew titters from an investment community generally prone to believe outlandish promises. But like X, Musk has emerged stronger and more central to finance, politics, and culture.
