Elon Musk's Net Worth Tops $500 Billion for First Time

Elon Musk's wealth has reached a new milestone. On Wednesday, his net worth surpassed $500 billion, making him the first person to achieve this feat. This comes amidst a surge in Tesla stock and the swelling valuations of his other tech ventures.

Musk's fortune is closely tied to his stake in Tesla, the world's most valuable automaker. Tesla stock has climbed about 14% so far this year, contributing to Musk's wealth increase. Additionally, his ventures in AI and space exploration have seen their valuations soar. Musk's AI startup, xAI, and rocket company, SpaceX, are reportedly valued at $200 billion and $400 billion, respectively, after successful fundraising efforts.

Tesla's board has proposed a $1 trillion compensation plan for Musk. This plan aims to deepen his focus on the company by setting out financial and operational targets and addressing his demands for a bigger stake. The proposed compensation is the largest ever offered to a corporate executive. Musk has also shown confidence in Tesla's transition to an AI and robotics powerhouse by purchasing about $1 billion worth of Tesla shares last month.
