How much is Musk's trillion dollars actually worth, and what else is possible with it, including 200 trips to the moon?
Elon Musk has become the world's first trillionaire or millionaire, shortly after the US rocket manufacturer SpaceX launched its journey on the stock market.
It was once unthinkable that just one person could have such a huge amount of wealth.
Until Friday, the figure of 'trillion' or one trillion dollars was only heard in the case of the GDP (gross domestic product) or huge debt of a few large economies in the world. In addition, this number has been used in the total value of some of the world's largest companies listed on the stock market in the last decade.
Musk received this new title in the continuation of the way the wealth of the world's richest people is increasing by leaps and bounds.
New members are joining the club of billionaires or centenarians every year. Again, some of these centenarians are getting richer. Among them are top figures in the technology sector as well as famous stars. However, at the same time, it has become difficult for ordinary people around the world to meet their daily living expenses. As a result, many see the first person to become a trillionaire as the most worrying example of the disparity between the rich and the poor.
The number one lakh crore or one trillion is difficult for people to easily imagine. 1 lakh crore dollars is 1 thousand times more than 1 billion (1 billion crore). And 1 million (1 million) is 1 million or 1 million times more than 1 million. To write 1 trillion, you have to put 1 followed by 12 zeros (1,000,000,000,000).
Incidentally, if Elon Musk's one lakh crore (one trillion) dollars were converted into Bangladeshi taka, it would be such a huge number, which is beyond ordinary calculation. Currently (as of June 2026), the exchange rate of one US dollar is about 123 taka. At this rate, one lakh crore dollars is equal to 123 lakh crore (123 trillion) taka! In simple words and in the domestic number calculation method, this is 123,000,000,000,000 taka.
According to the US magazine Forbes, Musk's total wealth has reached $1.1 trillion after SpaceX's impressive debut on the stock market yesterday. Most of his wealth is in the form of shares or stocks in various companies.
Here are some examples to understand what can be done with this $1 trillion:
Going to the moon and back more than 200 times
