The Tesla CEO just added a jaw-dropping $19 billion to his wealth, thanks to a major stock rally driven by Tesla’s game-changing rollout of robotaxi vehicles in Texas. Musk’s net worth now sits at an unbelievable $385 billion, making him the richest man in the world by a massive margin.
To put that into perspective, Bill Gates is currently worth $176 billion. That means Musk now holds more than double the wealth of Gates, the man who once topped every rich list on Earth. And even though Tesla stock is down 10 percent year-to-date, Musk’s fortune continues to soar.
What’s fueling this explosion in wealth? The buzz around autonomous vehicles. Tesla’s robotaxi testing is being seen as the future of transportation, and investors are clearly betting big on Musk’s vision. His ability to shake markets and drive innovation at lightning speed is what sets him apart from the rest of the billionaire club.
Even other major tycoons like Nike’s Phil Knight, who holds $30.5 billion, are nowhere close. Musk’s wealth now eclipses their combined fortunes. It’s not just about numbers—it’s about influence. Musk’s growing dominance in the tech and transportation industries is turning him into a one-man economic powerhouse.
With robotaxis, AI ventures, and space technology under his belt, Musk is showing no signs of slowing down. Love him or hate him, one thing’s clear—he’s not just playing the game, he’s rewriting the rules.
