There is some exciting news recently—Elon Musk might become the first trillionaire in human history.

Here's what happened: on December 10th, Musk posted a hint on X platform suggesting that SpaceX is planning an IPO. The speculation is that this rocket company could go public in 2026. If we go by the market rumor valuation of 1.5 trillion dollars, this would be a game-changer.

Currently, Musk's net worth is 460.6 billion dollars, securing his position as the world's richest person. However, he holds about 42% of SpaceX, which is now valued at 136 billion dollars. If the company goes public at that sky-high valuation, his stake could soar to over 625 billion dollars—note that this does not include his holdings in Tesla and other companies.

Bloomberg Billionaires Index did the math: after SpaceX's IPO, Musk's total wealth could jump to 952 billion dollars, an increase of 491 billion from now, racing toward the trillion-dollar mark. Just looking at this number alone is enough to make one's scalp tingle.

Honestly, when a person's wealth reaches this magnitude, it's no longer just about money; it's more like wielding influence over future industries.
