Donald Trump's victory in the presidency has led to a surge in stocks for certain businesses, many of which have been controversial. Let's start with Donald Trump's own business, Trump Media & Technology Group. Its stock crashed as the election results were coming in, but it rebounded strongly once Trump's victory was confirmed. Crypto stocks also performed well, with Bitcoin hitting a record high. Trump has been supportive of cryptocurrencies, and his campaign even accepted donations in crypto.

Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, is another big winner. Tesla's stock has risen significantly since Trump's win. Musk had publicly supported Trump, and there are rumors that Musk might have a role in the new administration. Private prison companies like GEO Group and CoreCivic also saw their stock prices jump. This is likely because Trump has promised to increase deportations, which would require more detention facilities.

Overall, the stock market seems to be bullish on Trump's win. The dollar, U. S. Treasury bonds, and the S&P 500 are all up. However, not everyone is optimistic. Even Elon Musk has warned that Trump's policies could harm the economy.

It's important to think about why these businesses are profiting. Some, like private prisons, raise ethical concerns. It's also worth considering how long this market optimism will last.
