- Elon Musk regained trillionaire status as SpaceX's valuation recovered from a post-IPO slump, adding $61 billion to his personal wealth
- SpaceX stock surge is the single driver of Musk's rebound, with Bloomberg framing the move as the company "clawing back" losses from its IPO-era downturn
- Fortune calculates Musk's lead is so large that he would still rank as the world's richest person even if he gave every person on the planet $90, underscoring the unprecedented scale of his fortune
Why it matters: Musk's $61 billion SpaceX-driven gain reclaims the trillionaire title after the post-IPO slump, and the Fortune math — that he'd remain world's richest after handing every person $90 — quantifies the gap between Musk and the rest of the billionaire class.
