The founder of Tesla and SpaceX, Elon Musk was exactly The Flash when he officially became the richest individual in the world with a total wealth of 195 billion!
"How strange", Musk uploaded a tweet after the announcement from the Twitter account @teslaownersSV
Bloomberg Billionaires Index records show Musk surpassed the wealth of Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos worth $ 185 billion with profits received through Tesla's share price soaring since November last year.
The two individuals have long been seen competing closely, again Bezos also owns the same spacecraft company, Blue Origin as owned by Musk and once ‘scrambled’ to get part of NASA properties before the victory in favor of SpaceX.
Only two months ago this individual managed to surpass Bill Gates' fortune after Tesla managed to make a profit of almost 500%, five days after overtaking Mark Zuckerberg!
There is no denying that Tesla shares have doubled in profit over the past year with Musk's efforts to increase sales of its electric vehicles, especially Model 3 sedans and Model Y SUVs that have attracted the attention of fans.
His stock has continued to grow especially since he signed a 10-year compensation package with Tesla in 2018 by giving the company a large number of preferred stocks each time he set a new record, with the first level profit he received earlier this year was around $ 800 million!
Musk had previously reportedly sold all five of his houses after vowing not to own any assets through his tweet on Twitter in May 2020.
It is impossible for Musk to be where he is now if Tesla is sold to Apple around 2017-2018 as revealed last December.
