Elon Musk becomes the world’s first trillionaire after SpaceX’s historic IPO

techcrunch.com·Jun 12, 2026

Elon Musk has become the world's first trillionaire following SpaceX's historic IPO, which significantly boosted his net worth to over $1 trillion. The IPO, priced at $135 per share, marked a major milestone for Musk and the company, despite ongoing public criticism of Musk's actions and influence.

SpaceX's historic IPO has not only made Elon Musk the world's first trillionaire but also significantly consolidated his power within the company. With over 80% voting control, Musk can hand-select the board and limit legal challenges, positioning SpaceX to aggressively pursue what it claims is the largest addressable market in history. This underscores the potential for strategic partnerships or investments in the commercial space sector, as SpaceX's market dominance and Musk's influence could drive substantial industry shifts.
