Elon Musk surprised the world again. Now, he's not just one of the richest people on the planet — he's become the first in history to have a staggering $400 billion fortune. This is an achievement, confirmed by Bloomberg, marked a new era in the history of world capital.
The secret of takeoff: SpaceX and Tesla on top
The key moment was the increase in the value of SpaceX shares. The sale of part of the company's assets added approximately $50 billion to Musk's fortune, bringing his net worth to an incredible $439.2 billion. This makes SpaceX the most valuable private startup in the world, valued at $350 billion.
Tesla also did not stand aside. The growth of the company's shares by 65% was a powerful catalyst. Investors are betting on a future where self-driving cars and electric vehicles are becoming an integral part of our daily lives. Donald Trump's victory in the US elections has only strengthened this effect - his administration may soften regulation and remove tax breaks for electric vehicles, which, according to analysts, is beneficial for Tesla.
Trump and Musk: A New Alliance?
Trump's election to the presidency of the United States was an unexpected turn for the whole story. According to American media, Elon Musk was in Trump's inner circle. Not only as a businessman, but also as a strategist. Musk spent a lot of time at Trump's residence in Mar-a-Lago, where he actively discussed personnel issues and offered his ideas for reforming the government.
Trump himself has already announced that he is creating a new efficiency department, which will be headed by Musk and another bright billionaire, Vivek Ramaswamy. This duo, according to the idea, will introduce advanced technologies and innovations in the work of the state apparatus.
Dynamics of success
Interestingly, two years ago, Musk's fortune decreased by more than $200 billion. It seemed that this was the end of his rapid growth. But, as history has shown, every recession is just an acceleration before a new rise.
Today, Musk is not just a businessman. This is a symbol of an era where dreams of space, unmanned technologies and green energy are becoming a reality. His companies are changing the world, and he himself is becoming a figure in not only financial, but also political news.
