Elon Musk briefly became the world’s first trillionaire when SpaceX went public on June 12, boosting his fortune to an estimated $1.1 trillion.
By June 16, SpaceX’s stock soared 40% to an all‑time high, pushing Musk’s net worth to a record $1.45 trillion. However, the rally was short‑lived. As SpaceX shares fell 31% through Tuesday, coupled with new restrictions on $116 billion worth of Tesla stock, Musk’s fortune dropped to $962 billion.
The decline means Musk is no longer a trillionaire, though he remains the world’s richest person.
