In my opinion, trillionaires are not ethical since they don’t donate to real charities. Recently, Elon Musk became the world’s first trillionaire. He has a net worth of $780 billion and the wealthiest person in human history. He is wealthy because of his ownership of massive companies like Tesla and SpaceX. Even though Tesla didn’t make Elon Musk a trillionaire, it was the rockets that made him rich.

According to DOGO News, “This historic milestone was driven by the stock market debut of Musk’s aerospace company, SpaceX. Trading under the ticker symbol SPCX, the stock was priced at $135 per share.” A strong investor demand sent the price soaring nearly 20 percent on its first day, which made the SpaceX market value worth more than 2 trillion dollars. The share has risen up to 2.5 trillion dollars on July 17, 2026. Elon Musk still owns 42 percent of SpaceX, and the stock listing added hundreds and billions to Elon Musk’s profit.

Elon Musk is now worth 1.3 trillion dollars. It took decades for Elon Musk to be where he is right now. Before his success, he was just a kid in South Africa who was interested in computers and video games. He sold a few games and got a degree in 1992. After he graduated, He moved to California and started a software company which was later sold in 1999. making him a multi-millionaire. Instead of keeping the money, he invested in companies in 2002 and later built large companies like Space X and Tesla.
