(NASDAQ:TSLA) and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has shared that his net worth is directly tied to the total market capitalization of his enterprises.\nIn a post on the social media platform X on Friday, user Antonio Linares shared that the billionaire’s net worth equalled “~1% of global GDP.” The user did not provide additional details or data in the post.\nAnother user, @Thomas_Sergeant, predicted that Musk would be worth “3 to 5%” of the global GDP “within the next 8-10 years.” He added that Musk’s current net worth was approximately 0.68%.\nResponding to the speculations, the CEO shared his take on the matter. “My \"net worth\" will just track SpaceX+Tesla market cap,” Musk said in his response. Implying bullish sentiments toward the growth of his enterprises, Musk then said that his net worth would equal “whatever” percentage of the global GDP SpaceX and Tesla would make up for in the future.\nThe comments follow an analysis by Forbes, which outlined that the billionaire was worth more than over 693 other billionaires in the publication’s 2026 Billionaires list. Musk is currently worth over $839 billion and ranks first in the global list of billionaires.\nIt’s worth noting that Musk’s net worth is up $497 billion compared to last year, when he was worth around $342 billion. The uptick in his wealth represents an increase of 145%.\nCheck out more of Benzinga’s Future Of Mobility coverage by following this link.\nPhoto courtesy: Mijansk786 on Shutterstock.com\nTo add Benzinga News as your preferred source on Google, click here.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"tenantId":"TBGLOBAL","deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.36.2","shortVersion":"4.36.2","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2619870458","isCrawlerRequest":true}
