SpaceX Stock Up 37% in Five Days: Elon Musk's Net Worth Nears $900B After $73B One-Day Gain

SpaceX shares (Nasdaq: SPCX) rose again on Wednesday, extending a rebound that has lifted the stock by around a third since it touched an all-time low a week earlier. Forbes put Elon Musk's fortune at $889.9B at the close, up $63.7B on the day and within touching distance of $900B.

Both of those figures are real. So is the part that tends to fall out of the retelling. The stock is climbing off its own floor rather than breaking new ground. Shares still trade roughly 39% below the $225.64 they reached on 16 June, four days after the largest initial public offering (IPO) in history.
