- SpaceX made its Wall Street debut with a soaring stock performance that made Elon Musk the first person in the world to reach a net worth of $1 trillion
- US stocks rose broadly on the same day, boosted by easing oil prices and investor enthusiasm around SpaceX's blockbuster market entry
Why it matters: SpaceX's debut minted Elon Musk as the first trillionaire in history — a wealth threshold no individual had previously crossed — while the accompanying broad market rise alongside easing oil gave investors a rare day of cross-sector gains tied to a single company's IPO.
