About Me

Elon Musk cofounded seven companies, including electric car maker Tesla, rocket producer SpaceX and artificial intelligence startup xAI. He owns about 12% of Tesla, which he first backed in 2004, and which he's led as CEO since 2008. In 2024, a Delaware judge voided Musk's 2018 deal to receive options equaling an additional 9% of Tesla. Forbes has discounted the options by 50% pending Musk's appeal. SpaceX, founded in 2002, is worth $800 billion based on a private tender offer in December 2025. Musk owns an estimated 42% stake. Musk bought Twitter in a $44 billion (enterprise value) deal in 2022. He merged it with xAI in March in a deal valuing the combined company at around $125 billion including debt. Musk also founded tunneling startup The Boring Company and brain implant outfit Neuralink. The two startups have raised around $2 billion from private investors combined.
