Elon Musk Makes History as the Richest Person Ever
Renowned tech entrepreneur and innovator Elon Musk has made history once again. According to the American business magazine Forbes, Musk’s current net worth has reached a staggering $340 billion, making him the richest individual in recorded history.
Experts reveal that in just the past 20 days, Musk’s wealth has grown by $70 billion—an amount greater than the annual GDP of many countries, including Myanmar. With this financial surge, Musk has surpassed all other billionaires, including second-ranked Larry Page, whom he now leads by nearly $80 billion.
According to Forbes, the rapid increase in Musk’s wealth can be attributed primarily to the soaring market valuation and share prices of his key companies:
- xAI, Musk’s artificial intelligence company, is now valued at $50 billion, with Musk owning 60% of it.
- SpaceX is valued at $210 billion, where Musk holds a 42% stake.
- In Tesla, Musk owns 13%, and the company’s share price recently jumped 3.8% in a single day, reaching its highest level in three years.
Analysts believe that the recent victory of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump played a key role in Musk’s financial ascent. Prior to the election, Musk reportedly invested $200 million into Trump’s campaign, which in turn boosted investor confidence in the tech and aerospace sectors.
According to international media reports, the Trump administration has also nominated Elon Musk as the Chairman of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOJ)—further strengthening his political and administrative influence.
Elon Musk is no longer just a billionaire entrepreneur—he has become the most influential figure in modern business and technology. From space exploration and electric vehicles to artificial intelligence, Musk is playing a leading role in shaping the future of the world.
Economists say the global economy has never seen a figure quite like him—someone who blends innovation, political influence, and massive wealth on such a scale.
