Elon Musk Surpasses $831.1โข Trillion, Becomes First โHuman to Reach Such Wealth
San Francisco, CA – October 5, โค2025 – Elon Musk has achieved a historic โmilestone,โค becoming the first person in the world โtoโข surpass a net worth of IDR 8,311 trillionโ (approximately $539.7 billion USD), according to recent reports from โForbes.โ This surge โin wealthโค is primarily driven โby the performance of his โขelectricโ vehicle company, Tesla, alongside โcontributions โคfrom his space explorationโข firm,โค SpaceX, and artificial intelligence start-up, xAI.
Musk briefly ceded the title of world’s richest person earlier this week to Oracle founder Larry Ellison, whose wealth increased following โaโค significant jump in Oracle’s shareโ price fueled by โคpromising developments in cloud โinfrastructureโข and artificial intelligence. However, a rebound โขin Tesla’s stock quicklyโ restored musk to the โtop spot.Ellison currently holds the second โposition with an estimated wealth of around $350.7 billion (approximately IDR 5,830 trillion).
The resurgenceโข in Tesla’s value is attributed โtoโฃ renewed investor confidence stemming from Musk’s stated intention to dedicate more time to his business ventures. Previously, Musk faced criticism regarding his involvement withโ theโค Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) under the administrationโฃ of President Donald Trump. โค
According to the Forbesโ billionaire index, as โฃof Wednesday, September 10, 2025, Ellison โhadโ temporarily overtaken Musk โคas the world’s wealthiestโ individual. Oracle shares hadโ risen more thanโค 40 percent due to positive outlooks for its cloud โคinfrastructure โคbusiness and AI-related deals. though, this lead proved โขshort-lived as Tesla sharesโฃ afterward experienced gains.
