- Elon Musk became the world's first trillionaire on June 12 after SpaceX debuted on the Nasdaq (opening ~$150), boosting his SpaceX stake to about $819 billion.
- Combined with his roughly $375 billion Tesla stake, his total net worth is around $1.2 trillion.
- That sum now exceeds the GDPs of countries like Taiwan, Sweden, Belgium and Argentina — a flashy comparison for conversation.
