Elon Musk may be closer to becoming the world’s first trillionaire than many realize, and SpaceX could be the vehicle that gets him there.
Based on current valuations, Musk’s holdings in Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink, and The Boring Company are worth roughly $980.8 billion. That’s just $19.2 billion short of the coveted 13-digit milestone.
The real story, however, is SpaceX. At its reported IPO price of $135 per share, the company commands a staggering $1.77 trillion valuation, placing it among the world’s most valuable assets from day one. Musk’s 4.76 billion shares are worth around $642 billion, making SpaceX the crown jewel of his business empire. Tesla, meanwhile, contributes another $328.8 billion to his fortune, while Neuralink and The Boring Company add an estimated $10 billion combined.
What makes the trillion-dollar question especially intriguing is how little SpaceX needs to move. Every $1 increase in the stock adds roughly $4.76 billion to Musk’s net worth. In other words, a modest post-IPO pop could be enough to push him past the trillion-dollar threshold before Wall Street has finished its first cup of coffee.
And the race may not stop there. If investor enthusiasm for SpaceX continues after its market debut, Musk could sail well beyond the trillion-dollar mark.
At a $1.77 trillion valuation, SpaceX would debut as the world’s 10th-largest asset by market capitalization. Tesla, meanwhile, currently ranks 12th, giving Musk ownership stakes in two of the world’s most valuable companies.
A strong first day of trading could push SpaceX even higher up the rankings. Companies such as Broadcom, TSMC, and Amazon may find themselves looking over their shoulders if Wall Street decides SpaceX deserves a bigger premium.
