Elon Musk’s wealth has reached $405.6 billion, making him the world’s richest person. Experts predict he could become the first trillionaire by 2027.
Forbes reports that Musk’s fortune comes from his companies Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI. Tesla’s success in electric vehicles and SpaceX’s advances in space exploration have driven his wealth higher.
Musk is currently the only person in what some call the “$400 billion club.” No other individual has reached this level of wealth in history.
The Tesla and SpaceX CEO could hit $1 trillion if his companies continue growing at their current rate. His ambitious plans include colonizing Mars and advancing artificial intelligence through his company xAI.
Social media users have mixed reactions to Musk’s record wealth. Some praise his innovation and business success. Others criticize the extreme concentration of money in one person.
Tesla’s dominance in the electric vehicle market has been a major factor in Musk’s rising net worth. The company’s stock price continues to climb as demand for electric cars grows worldwide.
SpaceX has also contributed significantly to his wealth. The space company has secured major contracts with NASA and private clients for satellite launches and space missions.
Musk’s AI company xAI adds to his growing business empire. The company focuses on developing artificial intelligence technology to compete with other major tech firms.
If predictions prove correct, Musk would be the first person in history to reach trillionaire status.
