Bill Gates had Microsoft
Jeff Bezos has Amazon
Sam Walton had Walmart - and the Walton family is the today the richest family in the world
With such large stakes in these companies, their net worth grew with the company.
Elon Musk has large stakes in all of his companies. He owns just under 20% of Tesla and around 50% of SpaceX. These are companies looking to disrupt multiple, very important and large industries:
- Automotive
- Energy Storage
- Energy Production
- Battery Technology
- Rocket Technology
- Internet Connectivity
and so much more. Companies like AT&T and Verizon, and Toyota are worth over $200B each. If Tesla and SpaceX can dominate some of the above industries, perhaps it, too can become a multi-hundred billion dollar corporation.
This would also mean Elon Musk's large percent ownership in these companies would turn him into the richest person in the world.
Who knows?
