- Multiple tallies now place his fortune above $600 billion, with some reports estimating roughly $677 billion, reflecting differing valuation methods for private stakes.
- Forbes ranks Larry Page second at $252.6 billion, leaving Musk ahead by roughly $400 billion.
- Tesla remains a major contributor through Musk’s roughly 12% stake and a shareholder-approved compensation plan that could grant up to $1 trillion in stock if targets are met.
- Musk’s AI startup xAI is in advanced talks to raise $15 billion at a $230 billion valuation, and Forbes says a $1.5 trillion SpaceX IPO could make him a trillionaire as soon as 2026.
