> He's basically the world's first trillionaire.

What?




Latest figures put him around $270 billion USD. That's mainly based on him owning ~20% of tesla. Whose market cap is around a trillion.

That figure doesn't include spacex/starlink, boring company, etc.

Spacex has gross revenues in the billions, 12,000 employees. Not to mention... ISS basically is Russian or Spacex launches to get there and back. With Ukraine... that makes Spacex the only option? What's the intrinsic value there?

What valuation would you give SpaceX? Their only real competitor right now is Russia and people dislike them.


His Tesla stake is worth ~190bn and the rest of his estimated net worth is comprised of SpaceX etc. Not sure why you think that is his Tesla equity only.

Lets say you're right. How did you come to a $80 billion valuation for spacex? The last valuation in 2021 was $100 billion. So spacex has lost value in your eyes? Starlink has happened since. Ukraine happened since.


It's not my estimate, wherever you sourced your 270bn figure for his net worth will explain their reasoning.
