Elon Musk is always in the news, with topics ranging from discussions on the name of Musk’s son to the genius creator’s love of memes. However, today marks a particularly historic day for Elon Musk, as he has officially become the world’s richest man.
Musk surpassed Microsoft Founder Bill Gates to become the second richest man in the world last November, and while the visionary behind SpaceX and Tesla was on track to surpass Jeff Bezos later this year, Musk has already taken the top slot. Officially crowned richest man in the world upon seeing his net worth hit $190 billion, Tesla’s official account tweeted out a congratulatory message to Musk. Replying in typical Elon Musk fashion, a brief and hilarious message followed.
Simply saying “how strange” and following up with “well, back to work,” Musk shrugging off the news could not fit with his personality any better. On Musk’s Twitter, jokes are a common occurrence, with the billionaire just as likely to poke fun at Cyberpunk 2077 as he is to share news regarding a ground-breaking invention.
Still, there is no denying that Musk’s new status is impressive. With so much of his life left to live, Elon Musk could easily become the world’s first trillionaire, as plenty more advancements are sure to come for both Tesla and SpaceX. Having created everything from the Cybertruck to the Starlink Sattelites that spooked Ninja, there is no telling what Musk has in store for his companies and humanity as a whole.
While Musk’s $190 billion net worth is truly mind-blowing, he still has a long way to go before he passes the biggest loan shark in video games. Back in April, it was discovered that Animal Crossing’s Tom Nook is more than four times richer than Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos — the man whom Musk just surpassed to set the record. While Musk is well on the way to surpassing Tom Nook one day, the bell-loving raccoon will remain a good bit richer for the next several years, as his pockets become deeper with every new player that Animal Crossing: New Horizons gets.
While Musk’s massive fortune will surely be discussed for the next several days, it should not be long before the business magnate is talked about for some other reason. Hopefully, Musk’s next stint is the news proves just as entertaining as his conversation regarding Torbjorn from Overwatch.
