For years, Jeff Bezos, the founder and CEO of Amazon, and Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, have been the two richest people in the world, with Bezos long leading the way and being considered the man who could became the first trillionaire in the world. However, for now, in first place stands Elon Musk.
Shares of Elon Musk's company, Tesla, rose as the Democrat-controlled U.S. Senate raised hopes that it would launch a "green agenda." Tesla is a company with electric vehicles and clean energy, based in Palo Alto, California. Tesla products include electric cars, battery power storage, solar panels and related products and services.
A 4.8% rise in Tesla's stock price was enough to push Musk to the top of the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, which tracks daily changes for the world's 500 richest people. The 49-year-old entrepreneur net worth reached $ 186 billion on Wednesday, making him $ 1.5 billion richer than Bezos, who had held the top spot since October 2017.
Following the news, Elon Musk reacted on Twitter saying "how strange" and "ok, we're back to work". Musk has said he intends to use half of his fortune to "help problems on Earth" and "half to help create a city on Mars to ensure survival (of all species) in the event that Earth is hit. from a meteor or World War III happens and we destroy ourselves.
Musk, who owns a 20% stake in Tesla, was the 35th richest person in the world at the beginning of 2020. He also owns the rocket company SpaceX, which is transporting astronauts to the International Space Station in a agreement with NASA.
