How Elon Musk became the world's first trillionaire
Technology entrepreneur Elon Musk, who heads SpaceX, Tesla
and X (formerly Twitter), has become the world's first trillionaire.
A trillion dollars is one thousand billion dollars. A number
followed by 12 zeros is one trillion. Which can be called one lakh crore in
Bengali.
Musk has been the richest person in the world for some time,
or at least close to that position.
According to Forbes, in October 2025, he became the first
person to achieve a net worth of half a trillion dollars (500 billion).
A month later, Tesla shareholders approved a record
compensation package for him, which was said to be worth up to a trillion
dollars.
But in June 2026, Musk's net worth went from billions to
trillions after his rocket maker and satellite operator SpaceX - which also
owns X, Grock and Starlink - went public.
But he is not only known for his vast wealth. As the head of
SpaceX, he has used his social media platform to express his views on a variety
of issues, from current affairs to the future of humanity.
In recent years, his involvement in politics has increased.
This includes helping Donald Trump win the 2024 US presidential election, which
has also caused discontent among some investors. But he is not only known for
his vast wealth. As the head of SpaceX, he has used his social media platform
to express his views on a variety of issues, from current affairs to the future
of humanity.
He has also faced criticism from heads of government and
politicians for his views and how X is influencing public opinion and
discussion.
