Intro

Welcome to another insightful Market Mondays clip! In this dynamic conversation, Rashad Bilal, Ian Dunlap, and Troy Millings dive deep into Elon Musk's approach to investing and building wealth, discussing why the world's richest person chooses to focus on his own companies instead of diversifying into the stock market. The group reflects on Musk's revelation that, if he were to invest in stocks, his picks would be Google and Nvidia—two giants poised to lead the future of AI and data infrastructure. Ian Dunlap explains the strategy behind wealth building by creating assets and driving GDP, highlighting how building something revolutionary like SpaceX or Tesla yields far greater returns than typical investments. Troy Millings brings another layer by examining the synergy forming between tech titans like Google, Nvidia, and Elon Musk’s companies, especially with innovations like data centers in space powered by solar energy. The conversation pivots to practical advice for content creators and entrepreneurs, emphasizing the importance of investing in the platforms they use—namely Google (YouTube), Meta (Instagram, Facebook), and Apple (the originator of podcasting). The hosts also walk through historical returns for major tech ETFs and stocks, showing that even “safe” investments like QQQ, SPY, and XLY have brought substantial growth over the past decade. The group reiterates the critical role technology plays in driving the economy forward, pointing out how companies with strong net margins (like Google, Microsoft, Apple, Meta) outperform most others. Finally, Rashad Bilal and the team discuss common misconceptions around tech, media, and stock classifications, explaining how businesses with tech components can achieve far higher valuations and why understanding how money moves—even in music and media—can be transformative.
