Elon Musk has become the first person in history to surpass a net worth of $600 billion, with his wealth now estimated at $677 billion, according to Forbes.

The sharp rise in Musk’s fortune was driven mainly by the soaring value of his private space company, SpaceX.

Earlier this month, SpaceX carried out a tender offer that valued the company at $800 billion, up from $400 billion in August, according to investors cited by Forbes.

Musk owns about 42 per cent of SpaceX, and the new valuation alone added roughly $168 billion to his personal wealth.

The tender offer comes ahead of a possible SpaceX initial public offering (IPO) in 2026, which could value the company at around $1.5 trillion, according to one investor. Such a move could make Musk the world’s first trillionaire, even without gains from his other businesses.

Forbes estimates that Musk’s $336 billion stake in SpaceX is now his most valuable asset, ahead of his 12 per cent stake in Tesla, valued at about $197 billion.

His Tesla stock options from the 2018 CEO performance award, which were voided by a Delaware judge in January 2024, are currently valued at $69 billion, pending the outcome of his appeal.

Musk’s artificial intelligence company, xAI, also plays a major role in his growing fortune. The company is reportedly raising funds at a valuation of $230 billion, more than double the $113 billion valuation Musk mentioned when xAI was formed earlier this year through a merger with social media platform X.

Musk owns 53 per cent of xAI, a stake valued at about $60 billion.

With an estimated $425 billion gap between him and the world’s second-richest person, Google co-founder Larry Page, Forbes notes that Musk is now closer to $700 billion than to losing his position as the world’s richest individual.

Are these super reach guys humans at all?

You are right about Trump, but the same South Korea has doled out over $200BN in the past ten years, yet fertility rates plummeted.


Simple:
- Women are more educated and financially independent. They have realised there is more to life than just being childbearers. In every country across cultures and religions, the more educated and financially empowered the women are, the lower their fertility rates. This has been observed in the Middle East and Asian countries.
- Birth control. The very fact that women can deliberately control the number of children they want means the fertility rate will hardly rise. Combine this with financial freedom. Women can now live their lives without ever needing a man. That is the new normal.
- Testosterone rates too have dropped due to toxic pollutants, sedentary diets and lifestyle choices.
- Humans have gotten selfish. They have new hobbies, they want to travel to new places, eat new dishes, buy items for themselves, aka self-care etc. These lifestyle choices clash with raising and taking care of children.
- and many more.

Some will say it is as a result of not offering women rights, yet Niger Republic has a higher fertility rate than South Korea. In fact, feminism leads to a declining fertility rate. Nordic countries are adjudged to be "gender equal", yet fertility rates there are low. The French have off-days yet fertility rates have dropped. They say a high cost of living, yet poorer countries have higher fertility rates than wealthier ones.
