Elon Musk just became the world's first trillionaire.

With SpaceX
opening on the Nasdaq at $150 a share Friday, his stake in the company is worth more than $766 billion. Combined with his Tesla stake, which is worth $280 billion, Musk's net worth from both companies as of Friday is roughly $1.05 trillion.

The SpaceX IPO added more than $180 billion to Musk's fortune. He's now worth more than the next five richest billionaires in the world combined. His personal net worth is larger than the national GDPs of Taiwan, Ireland or Sweden.

Musk's coronation as the first person in history to be worth $1 trillion is likely to add fuel to the debate over wealth inequality and the rise in power and wealth of America's richest tech founders.

Someone should make an AI video of Bernie Sanders but now have him rail against billionaires and trillionaires.

I've been Thinking about your last comment since Clay & Buck brought it up a few minutes ago (whichever one's on the air today). This is an unfathomable amount of wealth. This post really isn't about policy, it's about understanding truly how much money thi is.

If Elizabeth Warren's 2% wealth tax went into effect, poor Elon would only have $1,029,000,000,000. I keep pointing people to this website: https://eattherichtextformat.github.io/1-pixel-wealth/ But I want to try another tact, so I had AI run some numbers for me. I put in my dream life.

Let's play Brewster's Millions. Pretend you're 18 and someone hands you just ONE billion dollars one one-thousandth of Elon money. And I want to spend it lavishly, but not stupidly. . Just everything I could think that me or my hypothetical family could want.

First, i invest it about as cautiously as a human being can 3.5% a year, the kind of safe, boring return that barely outruns inflation. Then I started spending.

Three homes outright ($25 to $30 million. plus a few million to furnish them): a Hill Country estate, a place on Lake Tahoe, a beach house in Florida. A dozen-plus cars ($2.5) across all three. A small plane ($5) to get around Texas. A boat for the lake. A wine cellar, a bourbon collection, golf memberships, the works. Blow out wedding with Harry Connick, Jr (for the wife). Call it all about $50 million, and now I am done with the big stuff.

Three kids private school straight through the most expensive colleges, Disney trips, every ATV and toy they could want, extravagant birthday parties. Annual trips all over the world. You fly the family first class around the world. Aggie Football suite, and any other concert or sporting event. You gamble big enough that the casino sends a personal host and comps the suite. $5 million check to charity every year, for the rest of my life. Insurance. Wife has a million a year.

Add all of that up and you're spending somewhere around $18 to $20 million a year, every year, trying my best to absolute best to enjoy it.

That conservatively-invested billion throws off about $33 million a year in interest. Even after $8 million a year in income taxes, i am still not actively spending the original billion. I'm not even even actively spending the all of the interest. Even after a lifetime of mansions, private jets, monthly parties, three thoroughly spoiled kids, and tens of millions handed to charity I would still die with more than I started. .

And that's ONE billion.

Elon has a THOUSAND of them. A thousand of the exact thing you couldn't reasonably exhaust in a lifetime of dedicated, joyful, creative spending.

Someone on this board is going to say that I am envious of his wealth. It's not envy, its the reality of a world were one many has so much more than he needs that it is almost impossible to fathom.

And that scary 2% wealth tax everyone clutches their pearls over? .The tax wouldn't slow him down enough to notice.

Go to this website. Scroll the whole way to the end. Try to fathom how much money a trillion is if a single pixel is $1,000.

https://eattherichtextformat.github.io/1-pixel-wealth/

And I didn't even get to the part were DOGE did a great job dismantling all of the regulatory agencies overseeing his companies.


I don't care! He made his money by taking on risk and creating profitable things. If he wants to give it away then that's his decision, not the government marxists. Bernie wants to confiscate 50% of all AI companies, that's theft. Besides, that tax threshold would gradually be lowered to eliminate the middle class because socialist would rather steal from creators to spend on dregs and illegals. No thanks. Pocahontas can shove her wealth tax up her lying ass.

He's also a conspiracy loon and an awful human being.

Ok, but they'll have to show how several poor people work their tails off 80+ hrs/week for decades as each make industry leading contributions in multiple industries and aren't getting their fair share to make a good case.

The people who take on the risk should absolutely reap the reward. But one has to wonder if there's even a downside risk for these AI companies. They'll be labeled too big or too important to fail and taxpayers will end up bailing them out. SpaceX and Tesla will be bailed out by the government long before Musk risks actually losing anything.

It's the classic capitalize the profit, socialize the losses. How about we capitalize both and let these companies fail when they flop.

Time to tax Musk into Bolivian to pay off aaaaaaaallll our debts

pretty sure we owe 32 trillion

so if we take all Elon's money

we only have a 31 trillion debt!!

For about 6 months and then it's back up to 32 trillion.


Y'all are about $7T short. Debt is $39T and will hit $40T this summer. We are increasing it by $1T about every 6 months.

And why would that even be relevant? Most of the conspiracies I believed in have since come true. Maybe he believed in these same historical facts.

I know a SpaceX multi millionaire. She's an unassuming data nerd, who's weekends are spent at dungeons and dragons competitions. Lives in a tiny home in Boca Chica.

This IPO is the Revenge of the Nerds. How do you not love that? And no, I don't have any SpaceX shares.

Hes an awful human because he save the Bill Of Rights and free speech by taking over and surfacing the Democrat propaganda machine, and showed that America is still the land of amazing opportunity.

People who hate America, hate Elon. Unsurprisingly.

At this point he could literally buy the next election if he wants to.

Post Trump if he decides to prop somebody up he can usher them in. I have not doubt of that.


A TOTAL of $2B was raised for the combined D/R campaigns in 2024. Musk could throw 1% of his net worth or $10B at it and he'd make it back in a day.

Everyone know I hate CEOs but...

I doff my hat to Elon Musk.

Completely self made man, came to the US with almost nothing, struggled to get a toehold and is now the first human to reach One Trillion Dollars. What an achievement. Mind-blowing and mind boggling.

you just have to buy a bigger boat

the title for the most expensive traditional superyacht goes to Eclipse. Owned by Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich, the 533-foot vessel is valued between $700 million and $1.5 billion.

Compare the works of a conservative, capitalist genius engineer to the vitriol of Bernie Sanders and Liz Warren who have accomplished nothing except making themselves rich! Or even Howard Schultz who rails against capitalists while charging $9 bucks for a bg cup of coffee. How did Howard Schultz help poor people!

Benjamin Franklin, Henry Ford, Alexander Graham Bell, Nikola Tesla, Thomas Edison - then go JP Morgan, John D Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie, Cornelius Vanderbilt, ... Musk may have a bigger impact on the world than any of them. He is only 54 years old. And we are getting to watch it all in real time.

I am trying hard to realize and appreciate what we are witnessing with this man and his work.
