Google’s co-founder reaches the top by defeating Larry Page

According to reports, Elon Musk now has total assets of $852 billion (about Rs 71.5 lakh crore). Consider this as the world’s second richest person, Google owner Larry Page has $281 billion. That means Musk has $578 billion more than him. Elon Musk has now gone far ahead of everyone else in the race for wealth.

Increase in wealth by Rs 7.05 lakh crore after merger

When Musk’s two companies merged, the total value of the newly formed company became $1.25 trillion. This big deal increased Musk’s personal wealth by $84 billion (about Rs 7.05 lakh crore). If we talk about before the joining of the companies, Musk had 42% stake in SpaceX and 49% stake in XAI. But now his total stake in this new company has increased to 43%, which alone is worth $542 billion. With this, SpaceX has now become Musk’s biggest and most valuable company.

XAI’s introduction and controversy

XAI first started within the social media platform X. But by 2025, it had become so big that its value became more than ‘X’ itself. Its most famous product is a chatbot named Grok, which was recently embroiled in controversy because the wrong kind of pictures were being created through it.

What is the matter?

The investigative agencies of Europe and Britain have turned a blind eye on this. They fear that Grok is being used to make objectionable photos. Due to this pressure, in January the company has implemented strict rules regarding making and editing photos on Grok.

The rise of a new ‘super company’

Experts say that both Musk AI and the world of space are at the forefront of future technologies. Recently, his car company Tesla has also decided to invest about ₹16,000 crore ($2bn) in XAI. Musk’s plan is that XAI’s brain will help run the robots that work automatically in his factories. Musk is creating a ‘super company’ which in the coming years will work on big dreams like generating electricity in space and running data centers (computer servers) there.

Musk’s investments and Tesla pay-package

A large part of Musk’s wealth still comes from his car company Tesla. He owns a 12% stake in Tesla, which is worth about $178 billion. In addition, they also have special rights (stock options) to buy shares worth $124 billion. Not only this, the path to even bigger earnings is open for Musk in the future. If Tesla company meets its business goals in the coming time, then Musk can get more shares worth up to $1 trillion as bonus in the next 10 years.

New property records

Elon Musk’s wealth has increased rapidly in the last four months. He crossed the huge wealth figures of $500 billion, $600 billion and $700 billion in a very short period of time. There were two main reasons behind his progress – first, the increase in the price of his company SpaceX and second, the decision of an American court, which gave Musk back the shares worth billions of dollars received from the Tesla company.

future plans

Musk’s dream is not just to earn money, but he wants to take technology to a new height. From the year 2026, their Starship rocket will start sending the world’s most powerful internet satellites (V3 Starlink) into space, which will provide 20 times better internet than the old rockets. Musk believes that with the help of Starship, 200 tons of goods can be transported into space every hour. Additionally, they will also launch satellites that will connect directly to your mobile, so that your phone will have full network no matter where you are in the world.

Space will meet the power needs of AI data center

Musk believes that it is difficult to meet the huge power needs of AI companies on Earth, the solution of which can be found only in space. Their immediate focus is on launching AI satellites from Earth, so that in future data centers can be built in space. He believes that this technology will later turn into reality his dream of building a base on the Moon and establishing a human settlement on Mars.
