The Daily PollELON MUSK BECAME the world’s first trillionaire during the week after investors piled into SpaceX during the biggest stock market debut in history, adding hundreds of billions of dollars to the tech billionaire’s fortune in a matter of hours.
Shares in Musk’s rocket, satellite and artificial intelligence conglomerate surged after the company raised $75 billion (€64.84 billion) in a record-breaking initial public offering on Friday, pushing Musk’s estimated net worth above $1 trillion (€864.53 billion).

A new Oxfam analysis suggested Musk may now be richer than the poorest 46% of the world, raising concerns about inequality.
