Elon Musk has become a trillionaire again

The fortune of Elon Musk exceeded $ 1 trillion due to the growth in the value of shares of SpaceX and Tesla. According to Forbes, for one trading day on October 5, he became richer by $ 30.6 billion.

Now Musk is well ahead of Jeff Bezos, whose fortune is estimated at $ 371.1 billion. Next on the list are Google co-founder Larry Page ($ 284.3 billion) and the head of Dell Technologies Michael Dell ($ 272.2 billion).

Musk became the world's first trillionaire in June after SpaceX's record IPO, but then lost that status due to the company's falling share price. The new growth largely helped ensure Tesla’s third-quarter financial results exceeded analysts’ expectations.

On October 5, Tesla shares closed up 2.20% and SpaceX 7.63%.
