Musk is arguably best known as the CEO of Tesla, which he was an early investor in. He has since built Tesla into a major force in the auto industry.
Tesla is one of only a handful of American corporations that have reached a $1 trillion market cap, joining the likes of Apple and Nvidia.
As well as being CEO, Musk is often listed as Tesla’s “Technoking,” a role he created in 2021, and is a director of the company. He was chairman for around a decade until 2018.
According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Musk, the world’s richest person, saw his wealth boosted to $335 billion on Monday after Tesla stock jumped 9%. Investors have poured into the automaker in the past week, expecting it to benefit from a Trump win after Musk established close ties with him.
Tesla produces and sells several electric-vehicle models — including Model S, Model 3, Model X, and Model Y — and solar-energy storage and generation products.
Tesla employed just over 140,000 people as of December 31, 2023, its most recent annual report said.
