Elon Musk's Path to Becoming World's First Trillionaire Through SpaceX IPO and Tesla Growth

Dec 11, 2025 11:13 am CST

Elon Musk could potentially become the world's first trillionaire if SpaceX goes public at a $1.5 trillion valuation, potentially more than doubling his current $460.6 billion fortune. His 42% stake in SpaceX would be worth approximately $625 billion post-IPO, complementing his substantial Tesla holdings and recent twelve-figure compensation package. While challenging, Musk's path to trillionaire status is increasingly feasible through either SpaceX's rapid valuation growth or Tesla achieving ambitious performance targets.
