Is this a financial hallucination? @elonmusk was not even in the world’s top ten richest people until 2020. Now he is the world’s first trillionaire.
It is absurd, but not fake.
This was not some slow, stately climb through the billionaire league table. Musk crashed into the top ten during Covid, rode the Tesla mania, fell back when markets turned, then launched into another universe as SpaceX was marked at a much higher valuation.
As others have pointed out to me, this wasn't luck. This was 24 years of SpaceX history being priced in by public markets, helped a bit by the addition of an AI business.
That is the story in this animation. These are shares, private valuations, collateral, market mood and a huge wager on the future, all compressed into one ridiculous number: $1.3 trillion as of today.
Once the financial system agrees to treat paper wealth as real, it becomes real enough. It can be borrowed against. It can be pledged. It can buy control, influence and time. It can decide which companies get funded, which technologies get built and which version of the future attracts capital.
That is the mad part. Musk’s fortune is both real and ridiculous at the same time.
Real, because markets, banks and investors have endorsed it.
Ridiculous, because a large part of it can move violently when sentiment changes, a rocket explodes, Tesla rerates, or investors decide the future is worth a different price.
This feels like a chart about modern wealth becoming stranger, faster and more detached from anything most people would recognise as money.
What do you think?

@Eyaaaad And here ladies and gentlemen is why direction is better than speed. It will end in premium tears, but it will all burn up anyway. The eternal regret...maann.
First look at a dude getting eaten by a whale in ‘WHALEFALL’.
The film follows a scuba diver who must escape a sperm whale's tummy before his oxygen runs out.
The quite mornings with the birds, the bread seller passing through house to house with the fresh hot ovens, the queue for hajia's koko down the street, the peace and quiet generally
@askghmedia There was a time FanMilk used to consider these vendors partners. They developed campaigns and products around them and how to ease their stress. Well at least the slides looked like they cared.
@xghana_ Perbaps they thought if they requested earlier the government would have involved the migrants. So a thought over meat and beer on a tuesday afternoon occured.
It’s making sense now 🤝
They are not asking much. They just want a share South Africa GDP

@Joshua_Ariza lol, i doubt most people understand that they haven't done anything unique except borrow the next person's idea. We have to be sincere with ourselves.
