Elon Musk is a trillionaire again—and he’d still be the richest person on the planet even if he gave everyone $90

Elon Musk is a trillionaire again following a surge in SpaceX stock. He’s the richest person in the world by a landslide—and even if he were to give everyone in the world a chunk of his fortune, he’d still top the billionaires list. 

SpaceX shares rose nearly 8% on Monday. Morgan Stanley analysts even called the stock “cheap” at the day’s prices, emphasizing the potential of future AI product releases, progress on the launch vehicle Starship, and new neocloud contracts. 

And as Musk owns around 4.76 billion shares of SpaceX—including another 1.3 billion shares of unvested restricted stock—his net worth shot up from $976.9 billion to $1.04 trillion afterward. 

Now, the 55-year-old entrepreneur is so much richer than the rest of the world that even if he generously shared the spoils of his fortune, he’d still be the wealthiest by a mile. 

There are roughly 8.3 billion people on earth, meaning that if Musk gave away $89.40 to everyone, he’d still hold a $298 billion net worth—around $1 billion higher than Google cofounder Larry Page, who is the second richest person in the world. 

That means he could buy everyone on the planet a pair of Apple........
