It lasted eight days. On June 12, 2026, Elon Musk became the first human being in recorded history to accumulate a net worth exceeding one trillion dollars, lifted there by the initial public offering of SpaceX, the rocket company he founded in 2002 with the stated intention of making humanity a multi-planetary species. By June 24, he was no longer a trillionaire. His net worth had fallen to approximately $946 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. The milestone came and went faster than some news cycles.
