Elon Musk Crosses $600 Billion Fortune, Still Can’t Buy Sense or Chill
KEY POINTS
- •Elon Musk’s net worth surged past $600 billion in December 2025 after SpaceX’s valuation hit $800 billion.
- •Musk’s fortune fluctuates widely, often trading places with Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, and Larry Ellison as richest person.
- •His wealth comes mostly from Tesla and SpaceX stocks, despite controversies over his $55 billion Tesla pay package.
Elon Musk, who ascended from South Africa to Canada to Stanford dropout millionaire, now flaunts a $638 billion net worth, thanks to an $800 billion SpaceX valuation in December 2025. Musk’s rollercoaster fortunes, fueled by Tesla’s volatile stock and tweeting at President Trump, earned him wild wealth milestones including being the first billionaire over $400 billion in late 2024 and peaking at $600 billion after SpaceX’s IPO plans. Despite avoiding salary at Tesla, his mega $55 billion pay package was tossed out in January 2024 for cozy boardroom hookups. Musk’s empire ranges from selling drunk urban travel guides in ’99 to conspiracies about his government gig draining Tesla, a $44 billion Twitter flirt, and a Boring Company tunnel-digging venture probably less boring than his social media rants.
