Elon Musk has achieved the status of the wealthiest person ever, with his net worth surpassing $334 billion.

This increase is largely attributed to a 40% rise in Tesla's stock after the last election, influenced by political elements such as President-elect Donald Trump's pro-business policies.

Musk, a strong supporter of Trump, contributed over $100 million to his campaign and was named chair of the newly established 'Department of Government Efficiency' (DOGE), alongside Vivek Ramaswamy.

Wall Street expects potential benefits from deregulation for Tesla, especially concerning their Full Self-Driving technology.

Moreover, Musk's fortune benefits from his substantial holdings in xAI and SpaceX, with his 42% stake in SpaceX alone valued at $88 billion.

An upcoming funding round for SpaceX may increase its valuation by an additional $18 billion.

Despite these advancements, Tesla shares are still 14% below their peak in late 2021, while the S&P 500 has grown by 27% since that time.

Musk's strategic involvement across different industries underscores his capacity to capitalize on his enterprises for wealth building, offering lessons to be learned from his approach, independent of personal views on his tactics.
