Elon Musk becomes trillionaire again, exceeds combined wealth of next 3 billionaires
Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, has once again saw his net worth topped US$1 trillion as stocks of his companies SpaceX and Tesla surged.
Forbes recently estimated Elon Musk's net worth at an astounding $1 trillion, marking a significant increase of $30.6 billion from the previous trading day. This surge solidifies Musk's position as the world's wealthiest individual, surpassing the combined fortune of the next three billionaires - Jeff Bezos, Larry Page, and Michael Dell.
Musk first achieved the trillion-dollar milestone in June, following a record-breaking initial public offering for SpaceX, but lost that status when the company's shares fell amid valuation concerns. However, recent rallies in both Tesla and SpaceX stock prices have brought Musk's wealth back to the trillion-dollar range. Tesla's third-quarter deliveries surpassed analysts' expectations, contributing to a $61 billion increase in Musk's wealth on Friday alone.
The company's shares rose over 1% on Monday morning, while SpaceX shares climbed more than 5%. Musk hinted at potential rebranding for SpaceX's AI subsidiary, but no formal changes have been implemented yet. This news arrives as U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing government references to AI as "super intelligence."
The documentary "Musk" will soon attract attention when it premieres in theaters, debuting in New York and Los Angeles before a nationwide release on October 16.
