Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has surpassed a net worth of $440 billion, breaking records as the richest person in the world. This increase follows a significant rise in Tesla’s stock price and a major investment in SpaceX, which now values the company at approximately $350 billion. Musk’s financial surge is also linked to his political involvement, having donated over $270 million to support Donald Trump in the recent presidential campaign, raising concerns about potential conflicts of interest with the incoming administration.
