On Monday, Eastern Time, the stock price of SpaceX soared by 7.6%, reaching its highest level since mid-June, pushing Musk's net worth back over $1 trillion (Note from IT: The current exchange rate is approximately 6.71 trillion yuan), an increase of $30.6 billion (approximately 205.337 billion yuan) from last Friday.
This solidifies Musk's position as the world's richest person, with Amazon founder Jeff Bezos ranking far behind in second place with a net worth of $371.5 billion (approximately 2.49 trillion yuan at current exchange rates).
Elon Musk previously became the world's first trillionaire in June after the initial listing of SpaceX on NASDAQ. However, just a few days later, as the stock prices of SpaceX and Tesla declined, he lost this title.
With the rise in the stock prices of SpaceX and Tesla, his net worth has recently approached the threshold of a trillionaire. Last week, Tesla's delivery volume for the third quarter exceeded analysts' expectations, adding $61 billion (approximately 409.332 billion yuan at current exchange rates) to Musk's net worth alone on Friday. On Monday morning Eastern Time, Tesla's stock price continued to rise, with an increase of over 1%; meanwhile, the stock price of SpaceX saw an even more significant gain of over 5% on Monday morning, allowing Musk to reclaim the title of trillionaire.
Last week, Elon Musk ( Musk ) appeared at the White House alongside Trump and other leaders in the artificial intelligence industry, where the U.S. President unveiled a new “agreement” on artificial intelligence. This document proposed several guiding principles aimed at promoting the responsible development of artificial intelligence. However, Trump claimed that the agreement only had “moral binding force”; the entire text consisted of about 300 words and did not establish any substantial constraints or detailed regulatory rules for the industry. Last week, Trump also signed an executive order requiring the U.S. government to refer to artificial intelligence as “superintelligence” from now on. Musk expressed his support for this, posting on the X platform on Sunday, “Let’s stop calling it [the previous term] anymore,” and suggested that the term “superintelligence” was “better.” This billionaire, worth trillions of dollars, also stated on X that a subsidiary of [company name], which operates the chatbot [bot name], would be renamed to [new name]. However, as of Monday morning, it seems that the company has not yet taken any formal action to complete the brand rename.
Just a few days before Musk's personal net worth increased, his ex-girlfriend Xie Feng Zilis ( Shivon Zilis ) revealed on social media on Friday that she had ended their relationship. She wrote in her post: "Without any warning, I had to go from being deeply in love to letting go within a week. It's hard to accept, but sometimes that's just how life is." Zilis and Musk have four children together. Zilis herself works at Neuralink under Musk, and in May of this year, she testified in court: before they became lovers, they were merely friends and colleagues; initially, Musk donated sperm to Zilis, and with the help of in vitro fertilization technology, she gave birth to their first two children.
