As 2023 draws to a close, it has been a remarkable year for many, especially for billionaire Elon Musk. The Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO accomplished many things in 2023 including watching his electric vehicle company complete the first deliveries of the Cybertruck.
Here’s a look back at how several Musk-related investments performed in 2023.
