Elon Musk Becomes First Person Worth Over $800 Billion After SpaceXxAI Deal

The surge reflects SpaceX’s purchase of xAI at about a $1.25 trillion combined valuation.

Overview

  • Forbes-based estimates put Musk’s net worth at roughly $852 billion after the consolidation, crossing the $800 billion threshold for the first time.
  • SpaceX acquired or merged with Musk’s AI firm xAI, with the combined business valued near $1.25 trillion and the deal adding about $84 billion to his fortune.
  • Musk’s stake in the merged entity is about 43%—valued around $542 billion—after holding roughly 42% of SpaceX and 49% of xAI before the transaction.
  • SpaceX is now the single largest asset in Musk’s portfolio, surpassing his sizable Tesla holdings and option awards in estimated value.
  • Questions about internal valuations are expected to face market scrutiny when SpaceX pursues a public listing later this year, according to multiple reports.
