Elon Musk is on pace to become the world’s first trillionaire by 2027, according to a new report from a group that tracks wealth.

He was also the world’s richest person, with $251bn, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, as the academy’s 2024 Trillion Dollar Club report began circulating on Friday.
