{"content":"His fortune has recently soared past $485 billion, with some estimates nearing $499 billion as of October 2025.
📊 Musk’s Meteoric Rise
Elon Musk’s wealth now surpasses the GDP of most nations and the market capitalization of all but 18 publicly listed companies. His massive fortune stems from:
• Tesla: Still dominating the EV market, with a valuation swinging between $700B and $1.5T this year.
• SpaceX: Now valued at $350B, it’s Musk’s most valuable asset, and his 42% stake has outpaced even his Tesla holdings.
• xAI and X (formerly Twitter): Musk’s ventures into AI and social media are rapidly gaining traction, positioning xAI as a potential rival to OpenAI and Google DeepMind.
💥 In early October, Musk briefly became the first individual in history to reach a $500 billion net worth, according to Forbes. Analysts suggest that if this growth trend continues, he could be on track to become the world’s first trillionaire by 2033.
📉 A Wild Financial Ride
Despite his staggering wealth, Musk’s fortune remains highly volatile. A downturn in Tesla’s stock earlier this year wiped out about $150 billion, bringing his net worth down to $330B at one point. Most of his wealth is tied up in company shares, leaving little in liquid assets.
🔥 From launching rockets and advancing robotics to pushing the frontiers of AI, Musk’s vast empire continues to redefine modern wealth and innovation.#","images":[],"tags":[],"tradingPairs":[],"quotearticleid":0}
