You all likely know that Elon Musk is the most comically rich man in the world, lately by a significant margin. But you may not have been aware that, at this point, even the rate at which he earns money is itself comical:
Thanks to a rental-car company that at one point went bankrupt, Elon Musk is now worth a mind-boggling $289 billion.
The personal wealth of Tesla's chief executive officer shot up by $36.2 billion on Monday, according to the Bloomberg Billionaire Index...
Tesla's valuation surged past $1 trillion on Monday, with the stock closing at a record high of $1,024.86 after Hertz HTZ, announced plans to order 100,000 Tesla vehicles and a Morgan Stanley analyst lifted his forecast on the auto maker.
Please note that when they say that Musk's fortune "shot up by $36.2 billion on Monday," they don't mean that his wealth increased by that much over the course of 24 hours (which would still be utterly insane).
In reality, that staggering increase took place over roughly six or so hours.
Yeah.
Soo... what can you really say about Elon Musk at this point?
