Elon Musk surpasses Bill Gates to become the world’s second-richest person as Tesla’s market cap inches closer to $500 billion

The billionaire Tesla CEO Elon Musk has now leapfrogged Bill Gates to grab the world’s second-richest ranking.

Musk’s net worth swelled by more than $7.2 billion on November 23, driven by another surge in the Tesla share price.

In January 2020, he ranked 35th, but the tremendous rise in Tesla’s share price has helped him gain ground and surpass other billionaires in the world.

Since the beginning of this year, the members of the Bloomberg Index have collectively gained 23% — or $1.3 trillion.

That this guy and his company are steadily building their market share should get any third world country still dependent on oil very worried. It simply shows the future of green energy is upon us and oil days are ended.

And he's going to be the richest man on the planet once he's done constructing his city on Mars.

Some clowns will come here and say it's grace, when he clearly doesn't believe in a god.
Meanwhile, while Elon Musk is making huge impact in the world, some group of clowns are hell bent on the world ending so that they can fly into the sky and wear white robes all their life.

The reward for hard work is success. But then the amount of money these billionaires have is stupendously outrageous. Their children up to the 10th and 11th generation cannot finish it. Incredible!
