Elon Musk’s Tesla could be set to benefit massively after a lithium deposit—suspected of being the world’s largest and most strategically valuable mineral resource for renewable technologies—has been discovered in the U.S.
The Tesla founder stands as the current richest man in the world, as per Forbes, with a net worth of a staggering $416 billion. So, if anyone needs even more money, it’s certainly not him.
Alas, life’s not fair. And so Musk is set to come into even more cash after one of the largest lithium deposits ever identified has been discovered in the U.S.—lithium often referred to as ‘white gold’ due to its essential role in clean energy infrastructure and its rising commodity investment value.
Location and Geological Background:
The McDermitt Caldera is located in southeastern Oregon and northern Nevada. It measures a whopping 45 by 35 kilometers and was formed 16.4 million years ago.
In the aftermath of a catastrophic volcanic eruption—one with long-term implications for environmental diagnostics, mineral rights law, and land reclamation insurance.
