To say who the most talked-about billionaire in the world today is, Elon Musk's name definitely ranks at the top. The latest estimates show that his net worth has approached $750 billion, not far from the trillion-dollar mark.



What does this number mean? If he truly surpasses $1 trillion, Musk's personal wealth will account for nearly 3% of the US GDP. Looking at it from a historical perspective, even the former oil tycoon Rockefeller only accounted for about 2% of US GDP at his peak. In other words, Musk is rewriting the record books in the wealth rankings.

What is the key driver behind all this? Mainly the surge of SpaceX. Currently, SpaceX's valuation has reached approximately $800 billion, and Musk owns a 40% stake in the company. Even more interesting is the market's optimism about the prospects of the Starlink project and AI applications, which is continuously boosting SpaceX's valuation.

There is also a bigger imagination space—once SpaceX launches an IPO, Musk's wealth could increase by several hundred billion dollars. By then, the trillion-dollar threshold might truly be broken. As for Tesla's new compensation plan? It actually seems to be the icing on the cake for him.

Will SpaceX IPO really happen? Feels like this hype has been going on for years already. --- Trillions of dollars? Haha, the big pie is drawn so grand, but let's see if you can actually get a bite. --- Why does this number seem more elusive than Tesla's stock price? --- Here we go again, hyping Musk as the next Rockefeller? Come on, it's all just paper wealth. --- If Starlink IPO really kicks off, then I might believe it. For now, it's just a valuation game.

It's unbelievable. As soon as SpaceX went public, Musk took off. A trillion dollars is really not a dream.

Uh, I just want to ask, is SpaceX really worth 800 billion? Feels like the market is hyping a bubble.

Once SpaceX's IPO is launched, it will truly take off. Elon Musk surpassing one trillion is no longer just a dream.
