The idea of becoming the world's first trillionaire has long seemed like science fiction. But according to a recent analysis by The Wall Street Journal, that milestone may no longer be far away for Elon Musk. The 54-year-old entrepreneur, best known for leading Tesla, SpaceX and several other high-profile ventures, is now estimated to be worth around $970 billion. If SpaceX proceeds with a future initial public offering (IPO) and valuations continue to rise, Musk could become the first person in history to cross the $1 trillion mark.
