Elon Musk's net worth has surged past $800 billion to $852 billion, making him the richest person in history, following the acquisition of his artificial intelligence company Xai by his rocket company SpaceX. The transaction valued the combined SpaceX-Xai entity at $1.25 trillion, adding approximately $84 billion to Elon Musk's personal fortune. Post-merger, Elon Musk owns about 43% of the combined entity, valued at $542 billion, making SpaceX his most valuable asset. Elon Musk also maintains significant holdings in Tesla, Inc., with a 12% stake worth $178 billion and stock options valued at $124 billion. This event marks a rapid ascent in Elon Musk's wealth, having crossed several milestones in recent months. SpaceX is expected to go public later in 2026, which will bring increased market scrutiny and transparency to its valuation.
