Bloomberg reported that a private sale made by SpaceX shares increased the market cap of the company to approximately $350 billion. Musk is believed to own at least 42% of the company.

The report also noted stated that as Tesla hit a new record, Musk’s wealth rose to approximately $440 billion.

However, a different billionaire index tracked by Forbes claimed that Musk’s net worth is at about $369 billion, with Amazon founder Jeff Bezos’ net worth coming in at second place, and Oracle founder Larry Ellison at third place.

Musk has spent much of the year focused on the 2024 election.

Federal Election Commission filings show he spent nearly a quarter of $1 billion helping Donald Trump’s campaign via his pro-First Amendment and pro-Second Amendment PAC, America PAC.

“America PAC was created to support these key values: Secure Borders, Sensible Spending, Safe Cities, Fair Justice System, Free Speech, [and] Self-Protection,” according to the PAC’s website.

Trump has continuously expressed a desire to further uplift these efforts in his incoming administration.
