As Elon Musk is poised to become the world's first trillionaire, Oxfam has released a new report, 'The Birth of the Trillionaire,' focusing on Tesla's impact on the wealth gap in the U.S., arguing that it is a key factor in Musk's soaring fortune. On February 4, 2026, Forbes' real-time billionaire list showed Musk's net worth had reached $852 billion, making him the world's first individual to surpass the $800 billion mark. His wealth growth primarily stems from the merger of SpaceX and xAI, with the combined entity valued at $1.25 trillion. Musk holds a 43% stake, corresponding to a value of $542 billion. Additionally, his 12% stake and options in Tesla are worth over $300 billion. Combined with assets like Neuralink and the X platform, his wealth has reached new heights. The Oxfam report notes that the wealth of the world's richest individuals is growing far faster than expected, predicting that at least five trillionaires will emerge within a decade, with Musk likely to be among them.
