Elon Musk’s fortune has climbed back above $851 billion, restoring him to the summit of the global wealth rankings after a turbulent stretch. The recovery followed a rally of roughly 22 percent in Tesla shares from their recent lows, together with a fresh SpaceX valuation that lifted the rocket company about 30 percent.
On his strongest day of the run, Musk added an estimated $22 billion in paper wealth, among the largest single-day gains recorded this year, a swing that reflects how closely his net worth tracks two volatile assets.
Tesla’s rebound has drawn on renewed optimism over its autonomy roadmap and energy business, while SpaceX continues to attract investor demand through its Starlink network and frequent launches.
The surge has revived speculation about whether Musk could become the world’s first trillionaire, a milestone contingent on Tesla sustaining its gains and SpaceX commanding a still higher valuation.
For European investors with exposure to technology and space ventures, Musk’s trajectory illustrates how quickly concentrated fortunes expand and contract.
