Elon Musk Reclaims Trillionaire Status Amid Tesla and SpaceX Stock Gains
Elon Musk has regained his trillionaire status as of early October, with his net worth surpassing $1 trillion due to rising shares in Tesla and SpaceX. Both companies saw significant gains, with SpaceX shares up about 13% and Tesla shares rising around 6.7%. This increase widened the wealth gap between Musk and the second-richest person, Jeff Bezos. Musk first reached the trillionaire milestone in June following SpaceX's public debut but briefly lost it amid stock declines. Renewed investor optimism and strong company performance contributed to his restored valuation.
