Bloomberg reported that a private sale made by SpaceX shares increased the market cap of the company to approximately $350 billion. Musk is believed to own at least 42% of the company.
The report also noted stated that as Tesla hit a new record, Musk’s wealth went up to approximately $440 billion.
However, a different billionaire index tracked by Forbes claimed that Musk’s net worth is at about $369 billion, with Amazon founder Jeff Bezos’ net worth coming in at second place, and Oracle founder Larry Ellison at third place.
Musk has spent much of the year focused on the 2024 election.
Federal Election Commission filings show he spent nearly a quarter of $1 billion, helping elect Donald Trump to a second term as president via his pro-First Amendment and pro-Second Amendment PAC.
Trump has continuously expressed a desire to further uplift the U.S. Constitution in his incoming administration, differing from many Democrats, including failed VP candidate Tim Walz, who has suggested that certain elements of the Constitution are outdated and out of touch.
“I think all of us know the electoral college needs to go,” Walz previously said, before the Kamala Harris campaign spokespersons backtracked his statement.
