Musk, 53, who also founded SpaceX and now owns the social media platform X, has held the title of richest person in the world for some time now, having first earned the “honor” back in January 2021, when he surpassed Amazon founder Jeff Bezos to claim the top spot on the list of the world’s wealthiest individuals.
