BREAKING: Elon Musk has become the world's first trillionaire.
After SpaceX raised a record $75 billion in its IPO, Musk’s net worth shot up to top $1.1 trillion when the stock began trading Friday, putting him in an economic class of his own.
Combined with his holdings in electric vehicle maker Tesla, as well as other investments and assets, Musk's net worth is now estimated at about $1.1 trillion.
Musk's stake in the rocket and satellite company alone is now estimated at a staggering $690 billion, but it's also a life-changing moment for thousands of workers at the company who hold equity.
Investors who watched Musk help turn Tesla into an automotive giant are now betting he can do the same in space and artificial intelligence, as SpaceX launches the largest IPO in history.

A 21-YEAR-OLD READ ONE LINE ON THE YOUTUBE BLOG AT MIDNIGHT. BY SUNDAY HER AI-GENERATED WORLD CUP CHANNEL HAD 17.7 MILLION VIEWS
$8,400 the first weekend. 3 videos uploaded. 0 minutes of actual soccer ever watched
The sentence she read: "Official partner of the 2026 FIFA World Cup". The math she did from bed: YouTube pays $1,000-$5,000 per million views on soccer content. The algorithm is about to push the sport harder than it has ever pushed anything. The World Cup is 18 months away
She opened Claude. Asked for a viral hype-reel prompt for the 2026 World Cup. Pasted it into Picsart AI Playground. Three minutes later: a 4K cinematic reel -packed stadiums, flags, slow-motion goals, single heartbeat opening into a stadium roar
Uploaded before she fell asleep. By Sunday it had 2.1m views. The next one did 4.6m. The third cracked 11m because the algorithm had decided she ran a soccer channel now
She doesn't know the offside rule. Her group chat doesn't know she runs the channel
Still couldn't tell you which country actually hosts the final

Claude hands him a positioned outline, target audience, three pricing tiers, and the sales copy. Then he ships it
He's used the same prompt five times. Sometimes the offer was a course. Sometimes a 1:1 program. Once it was a community. Same prompt, different lives

He's 22

A SHENZHEN GIRL'S LAPTOP NOW OUTTRADES A $200K BLOOMBERG TERMINAL. THE BOT THAT RUNS ON IT WAS WRITTEN BY CLAUDE FABLE 5
$8,400 last week. 47 trades. 1% max risk per position
You're reading this on a device that could be running the same bot tonight
Five markets, three strategies. Mean reversion on S&P and Nasdaq. Momentum breakouts on Bitcoin. Trend following on gold and oil. Position sizes scaled to ATR. Hard 1% stop on every trade. A correlation filter sits on top, so it never doubles risk when assets move together
Two texts a day from Claude Cowork. 7am: what's moving. 9pm: what the bot did. That's her entire interaction with the markets
She's 24
Runs the whole thing from one MacBook against a beige wall
Introducing Claude Fable 5: a Mythos-class model that we’ve made safe for general use.
Its capabilities exceed those of any model we’ve ever made generally available.
A 23-YEAR-OLD GUY IN TOKYO IS RUNNING A COPY-TRADING BOT SCANNER FROM HIS DORM. WHICH WAS ENTIRELY WRITTEN BY CLAUDE FABLE
IT MADE $148 WHILE HE SLEPT LAST NIGHT
$4,200 net last month
350 wallets scanned per cycle
Only the ones with 55%+ win rate get copied
The bot watches on-chain prediction markets - Nvidia hitting $200 by Q2, Super Bowl 2027 winners, Oscar outcomes - and looks for traders who've been right consistently. It pulls their trade history, ranks them by win rate, and mirrors their next move automatically. If a top wallet bets $4,000 on "Nvidia closes above $200 by Q2", the bot bets $40 on the same side at the same odds
Claude Fable 5 wrote the entire scanner and filter logic in one weekend. It runs on a layer-2, costs $0.06 a day in gas, and pings him on his phone every time it closes a position
He's never placed a single bet on these markets himself
Still couldn't tell you who's playing in next year's Super Bowl
