Just a couple of days ago we reported that Tesla CEO Elon Musk was among the top three richest people
No. 2
So, if last week Musk was ranked thirdplace in the ranking of the rich, then he has already moved to second place. His fortune has grown to $128 billion, causing Elon Musk to overtake former silver medalist Bill Gates. Now only Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos is richer than him in the entire world. But he has $182 billion, so his competitors are far from him.

For comparison, back in January Musk was only 35th in this ranking.
What's wrong with Tesla?
The growth of Musk's fortune is associated with the growth of Tesla shares.Today, after the opening of the stock exchange, the company's market capitalization exceeded $500 billion. Quotes exceeded $527.48 per share and at their peak were $540.4. This was influenced by joining the S&P 500 stock index, which is due to take place on December 21. In addition, last week Morgan Stanley also upgraded Tesla's rating, recommending buying its shares for the first time in many years.
