What’s Next for Elon Musk’s Net Worth?
Musk’s net worth is expected to continue growing as Tesla and SpaceX achieve new milestones. Some potential factors that could contribute to Musk’s increasing wealth include:
- Tesla’s move to shift FSD from a one-time purchase to a subscription
- Tesla’s plans to halt production of some vehicle models to prioritize Optimus Bot manufacturing
- The potential for a SpaceX IPO in 2026, which could value the company at $1.5 trillion or higher
- Musk’s new pay package, which could award him up to nearly $1 trillion in additional Tesla shares if the company hits certain milestones
If Tesla is able to hit some of the milestones lined up in the pay package, Musk could become a trillionaire in 2026. With SpaceX and xAI set to merge, there is still the potential for a SpaceX IPO in 2026, which could take Musk’s wealth even higher.
