Elon Musk’s Net Worth Soars Past $800B Following SpaceX-xAI Merger
Elon Musk’s fortune has surged beyond $800 billion after SpaceX acquired xAI in a landmark $1.25 trillion deal. The merger, which boosted Musk’s wealth by approximately $84 billion, solidifies his position as the world’s wealthiest individual, leaving other billionaires far behind.
The combined valuation of SpaceX and xAI stands at $1.25 trillion, with SpaceX contributing $1 trillion and xAI adding $250 billion. Musk owns 43% of the merged entity, worth roughly $542 billion. His stakes in Tesla—12% of the company valued at $178 billion and stock options worth $124 billion—further underscore the growing dominance of private-company valuations in his portfolio.
Prior to the merger, Musk held 42% of SpaceX, valued at $336 billion, and a 49% stake in xAI worth $122 billion. The deal narrows the valuation gap between SpaceX and Tesla, signaling a strategic shift in Musk’s asset allocation.
