Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI founder hits historic milestone as stock surge boosts his fortune beyond half a trillion dollars.
Elon Musk, the billionaire entrepreneur behind Tesla, SpaceX, and social media platform X, has officially become the first person in history to amass a net worth of $500 billion.
According to Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Musk’s wealth briefly peaked at half a trillion dollars following a strong rebound in Tesla’s stock, which jumped nearly 14% this year.
The surge comes months after Musk resigned from his controversial short-term government role under Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and returned full-time to his companies.
Musk’s wealth is tied across multiple ventures including Neuralink, xAI, and SpaceX making him the single most valuable private individual in modern history. Analysts predict he could become the world’s first trillionaire within the decade.
To put it in perspective, Musk’s wealth now exceeds the GDP of Norway, is 35 times greater than all English Premier League clubs combined, and could theoretically buy the White House 1,250 times over, based on Zillow’s valuation.
While competitors like Science Corporation continue to make strides in neurotechnology, Musk’s dominance in artificial intelligence, space travel, and electric vehicles places him far ahead in the global innovation race.
