☆ The jobs most vulnerable under the next Trump administration
▼ + stars: | 2024-12-09 | by ( Elisabeth Buchwald | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +6 min

New York CNN —President-elect Donald Trump campaigned on the promise to create more American jobs and protect existing ones. For example, higher tariffs could help boost American manufacturing jobs if more businesses decide they want their goods made domestically to avoid the added cost of importing. That’s because, in response to being subjected to higher tariffs, impacted nations would likely impose comparable tariffs on American goods, he said. That could significantly raise American businesses’ costs while also reducing demand for their goods. Many American companies experienced this during Trump’s first term as China responded with tit-for-tat tariffs on American imports.

CNN —Elon Musk has long been known for his competitive spirit — and for his list of rivals. That could come in the form of starting or dropping government investigations, creating or weakening regulations, and awarding government contracts to the benefit of Musk’s companies. OpenAI called Musk’s claims “incoherent” and “frivolous.” And Musk dropped the suit after OpenAI published several of Musk’s emails from OpenAI’s early days. Musk and Ramaswamy’s DOGE effort has an expiration date in 2026, but some who know Musk wonder if his relationship with Trump will sour sooner than that. But until then, Musk said the best way for him to be lobbied is on X, his social media platform.

Or, maybe the whole market has a new expectation of stocks — and, stocks are delivering on those expectations and then some. Maybe that's why it is up more than 900% for the year. Maybe that's why it is now a roughly $140 billion company. With so many other opportunities to raise money — such as private equity and venture capital firms trying to get in — the stock market almost doesn't matter.
