This has been a huge week for Elon Musk: First, the Tesla stock rally, in reaction to a good earnings report, made him billions of dollars richer (at least on paper). Then, Musk continued his full-throated campaign for Donald Trump with a marquee appearance at Madison Square Garden, leading chants of “USA!” to adoring fans amid a rally that featured the most racially inflammatory language yet of the Republican’s campaign. To discuss these developments, host David Papadopoulus is joined by Bloomberg reporter Esha Day, Bloomberg Businessweek senior writer Max Chafkin and Elon Musk reporter Dana Hull.
