Elon Musk has done it again — and this time, he’s accelerating far ahead of the billionaire competition. The Tesla CEO just saw his net worth rocket by an astonishing $19 billion in a single day, following a dramatic stock rally tied to Tesla’s bold rollout of robotaxi vehicles in Texas.
The surge was triggered by investors’ enthusiastic reaction to the unveiling of Tesla’s autonomous fleet, which analysts are calling a game-changer for the future of transportation. With the pilot program already hitting the roads in several Texas cities, the market responded instantly — and Musk reaped the rewards.
His new estimated net worth? A staggering $385 billion, placing him firmly back at the top of the world’s richest list, and widening the gap between him and rivals like Jeff Bezos and Bernard Arnault.
While Tesla’s robotaxi project had been teased for months, few expected such an aggressive and immediate launch. The autonomous vehicles promise to redefine urban mobility, eliminating the need for drivers and introducing a new era of cost-effective, AI-powered transport.
Critics continue to question the legal and safety implications, but for now, the markets are clearly betting on Musk’s vision. Social media lit up with celebratory memes and reactions, while Tesla fans called it another masterstroke from the entrepreneur known for defying odds — and gravity.
Whether the robotaxi dream scales as smoothly as its stock price remains to be seen. But one thing is certain: Elon Musk is not just chasing the future — he’s building it, and cashing in every step of the way.
