Elon Musk has become the richest man in the world. The founders of Tesla and SpaceX are worth more than Jeff Bezos (Jeff Bezos) and are currently worth $188.5 billion. This is about $1.5 billion more than Bezos’ current estimated wealth.

When Tesla shares rose 4.8%, Musk became the world’s richest man. This is the first time an individual has surpassed Bezos’ wealth title since October 2017. Both are also direct competitors: Musk and SpaceX; and Bezos, Blue Origin LLC. In 2020, when the stock price rose by 743%, Tesla became the most profitable automaker in the world, and Musk achieved great financial success. Bezos also saw a surge in online shopping last year due to the COVID-1

9 pandemic caused by the Amazon pandemic. He also achieved amazing success in Amazon’s profits, but he also lost a lot of wealth-he and his wife McKenzie Scott (MacKenzie Scott) divorced, which cost him about a quarter of his shares in Amazon and a small amount of donations, such as when he donated $680 million to help fight the epidemic. In addition, Musk showed no signs of slowing down, Tesla’s production of innovative vehicles was stable, and SpaceX continued to complete historic space missions.
