Musk Becomes World's First Trillionaire

About this episode

Elon Musk becomes the world's first trillionaire following SpaceX's IPO.

Elon Musk just became the world’s first trillionaire after SpaceX’s historic IPO sent its valuation soaring to $2.2 trillion — making Musk’s stake alone worth a cool trillion. The stock jumped 11% in early trading, hitting $150 from its $135 IPO price, prompting SpaceX to celebrate with a rocket emoji on X. Musk, who founded SpaceX in 2002, transformed space travel with reusable rockets and Starlink, while his wealth also stems from Tesla, Neuralink, The Boring Company, and X. Now ranked sixth most valuable U.S. company, SpaceX’s journey from a risky startup to a global giant was hailed by Musk himself — who admitted he once doubted it would survive.
