Elon Musk Becomes The World’s First Trillionaire
I think that it is unethical for Elon Musk to be a trillionaire since he once had to borrow money from a friend to keep working. Also, Elon was the founder of SpaceX and the first three takeoffs failed.
Elon’s fortune collapsed in 2022 because of a downturn in US technology stocks. Also, it fell much more in the early 2025, because of investor concerns over his role in the Trump administration accompanied by a slump in Tesla’s share price.
Elon Musk became a trillionaire on June 12, 2026. He got a sudden boost of money when SpaceX and xAI merged together. The massive public debut skyrocketed his net worth to an estimated $1.1 trillion overnight.
During the first SpaceX take off in 2006, a fuel leak caused engine fire seconds after take off, destroying the rocket. The second flight in 2007 was also a failure because large vibrations caused the second stage to shut down prematurely, preventing the rocket from reaching orbit. Flight 3 in 2008 was also a failure because a timing issue caused the first and second stages to collide during separation.
I think he should not keep the money for himself because many people are starving and poor, so he could donate some money to them. Also, many people just cannot find a good job, so if Tesla or SpaceX need more workers he could offer a job. He could make some homes for the homeless people and donate to charities. He should do that because people may starve or die.
