Summary

Elon Musk became a trillionaire after SpaceX’s estimated value reached about $1.77 trillion during its initial public offering (IPO). His wealth mainly comes from stocks in companies like SpaceX and Tesla, not cash, and this milestone shows the huge financial power he now has as an individual.
