Elon Musk has reportedly become the first person ever to reach a net worth of $500 billion, driven by a strong comeback in Tesla’s stock and the rising value of his other ventures, including SpaceX and xAI.Musk’s fortune crossed the half-trillion mark around 3:30 p.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday, reaching $500.1 billion by 4:15 p.m.,&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/mattdurot/2025/10/01/elon-musk-just-became-the-first-person-ever-worth-500-billion/">Forbes’ billionaires index showed</a>. That puts him roughly $150 billion ahead of Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison, who ranks second on the list with $350.7 billion.His fortune crossed $100 billion by the end of 2020, doubled that a year later, and reached $400 billion the following year before surpassing $500 billion this week. At this rate, Forbes believes he could be the first person ever to hit a trillion dollars by 2033, when Tesla’s massive $1 trillion pay deal starts to kick in.<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/TSLA">Tesla shares</a> jumped nearly 4% on Wednesday, adding about $9.3 billion to Musk’s net worth. The stock has almost doubled since April, when Musk stepped back from his role in President Donald Trump’s quasi-government agency, the Department of Government Efficiency, to refocus on Tesla. His 12.4% stake as of Sept.15 in the automaker is now valued at roughly $191 billion.After a rocky start to the year, Tesla’s stock has been climbing again as investors gain confidence in Musk’s renewed involvement.&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/tesla-rally-7-days-2025-peak-retail-sentiment-musk-pay-aligned-shareholders/chDcmQNR3G3">Board chair Robyn Denholm&nbsp;</a>said last month that Musk was back “front and center” at the company after several months at the White House. Soon after, he disclosed a&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/tesla-shares-surge-elon-musk-purchases-stock-first-time-since-2020/chwwIvpRdUG">$1 billion Tesla stock purchase</a>, widely seen as a strong show of faith in the company’s future as it expands from electric vehicles into AI and robotics.Still, Tesla remains one of the laggards among the “Magnificent Seven” tech giants, weighed down by soft car sales and margin pressures. To retain Musk’s focus and leadership, Tesla’s board has proposed a record-setting&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/tesla-proposes-whopping-1-trillion-pay-package-for-ceo-elon-musk/chwIJkaRdpr">$1 trillion compensation plan</a> that could give him up to 12% of the company’s stock if it reaches a market capitalization of $8.5 trillion and meets other performance targets over the next decade.“It’s not about ‘compensation,’ but about me having enough influence over Tesla to ensure safety if we build millions of robots,”&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1970538474550747463">Musk said on X in September</a>. “If I can just get kicked out in the future by activist shareholder advisory firms who don’t even own Tesla shares themselves, I’m not comfortable with that future.”Beyond Tesla, Musk’s other ventures have also added to his massive fortune. SpaceX is valued at around $400 billion, contributing roughly $168 billion to his wealth. His AI startup xAI, valued at nearly $75 billion in July and reportedly eyeing a $200 billion valuation, adds about $60 billion.Tesla’s market value is now within 10% of its all-time high, with the stock up nearly 14% year-to-date.On Stocktwits, retail sentiment was ‘bullish’ amid ‘normal’ message volume.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Elon Musk said SpaceX could account for more than 95% of the world’s payload deliveries to orbit once its Starship vehicle begins flying frequently with cargo next year.&nbsp;“Once Starship is flying frequently with real payloads next year, then SpaceX will probably deliver &gt;95% of total Earth payload to orbit, despite others, especially China, continuing to grow.

A U.S. district court judge on Monday dismissed a lawsuit filed by conservation groups that aimed to overturn a Federal Aviation Administration approval in 2022 of expanded rocket launch operations by Elon Musk's SpaceX beside a national wildlife refuge in South Texas.The organizations had claimed that lighting, noise, construction, and access closures could harm the native wildlife in the Boca Chica area on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. The region is home to animals such as ocelots, and is also a nesting site for the endangered Kemp’s Ridley sea turtles and a shorebird named piping plover.U.S. District Court Judge Carl Nichols found that, in most cases, the FAA followed the legal framework to take a ‘hard look’ at the environmental concerns before permitting the launches.The ruling clears another hurdle for SpaceX, which is looking to ramp up testing of its 400-foot-tall Starship rocket. Musk outlined last week that the company is preparing a bigger version of the rocket, which would be fully reusable next year.Last month, U.S. President Donald Trump further provided a boost to SpaceX and its peers by issuing an <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/space-x-rocket-lab-set-to-benefit-as-trump-eases-rocket-launch-restrictions/chsRIGGRda9">executive order</a> to “eliminate outdated, redundant, or overly restrictive” rules for launch and reentry vehicles.Musk, the billionaire CEO of SpaceX, had previously criticized the Biden-era FAA for “regulatory overreach.” Unlike most of its risk-averse industry peers, SpaceX follows the "fail fast, learn faster" approach, prioritizing learning from its mistakes and quickly moving on to the next test.Retail sentiment on Stocktwits about SpaceX peer <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/RKLB">Rocket Lab</a> was in the ‘bullish’ territory at the time of writing.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:720/87;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/RKLB_N_SEPT_15_JPG_c4576cde1f.webp" alt="RKLB’s Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 11:27 p.m. ET on Sept 15, 2025 | Source: Stocktwits" width="720" height="87"><figcaption>RKLB’s Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 11:27 p.m. ET on Sept 15, 2025 | Source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>The FAA had permitted SpaceX to raise the number of Starship launches in Texas from five per year to 25 earlier this year.

SpaceX launched a new Northrop Grumman cargo spacecraft to the International Space Station on Sunday evening.The mission, named NG-23, will deliver science investigations, supplies, and equipment to the ISS, according to NASA. The launch marked the debut mission of the Cygnus XL spacecraft, a larger version of the Cygnus vehicles with a payload of 11,000 pounds.The solar-powered Cygnus XL spacecraft took to the skies on board a Falcon 9 rocket at about 6.11 pm ET from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. This was the first Cygnus mission since August 2024, when NG-21 was launched. Earlier this year, NASA scrapped the NG-22 mission to the ISS after the Cygnus spacecraft was damaged while being transported to the launch site.Among the key objectives of the mission is to send materials to produce semiconductor crystals in space and equipment to develop improvements for cryogenic fuel tanks. The spacecraft will also deliver a specialized UV light system to “prevent the growth of microbe communities that form in water systems” and supplies to make pharmaceutical crystals that could treat cancer and other diseases.Retail sentiment on Stocktwits about <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/NOC">Northrup Grumman</a> was in the ‘neutral’ territory at the time of writing.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:803/93;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/NOC_Sept_14_JPG_4d2b76e668.webp" alt="NOC’s Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 9:35 p.m. ET on Sept. 14, 2025 | Source: Stocktwits" width="803" height="93"><figcaption>NOC’s Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 9:35 p.m. ET on Sept. 14, 2025 | Source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>After the spacecraft arrives near the ISS, the astronauts onboard will use the Canadarm2 robotic arm to grab the Cygnus XL vehicle on Sept. 17, before robotically installing the spacecraft to unload the cargo.The Cygnus XL spacecraft, named S.S.

EchoStar Corp. (SATS) has received notice from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) that an ongoing regulatory review concerning its 5G service obligations in the United States has officially been closed.&nbsp;The latest development follows the company's announcement on Monday of&nbsp;a definitive agreement to divest a major portion of its wireless spectrum assets to Elon Musk’s SpaceX in a strategic transaction valued at approximately $17 billion.&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SATS">EchoStar stock&nbsp;</a>traded 2% higher in Tuesday’s premarket.

The stock experienced a staggering 6,933% explosion in user message count in 24 hours.&nbsp;The FCC initially launched its review in early May, raising concerns over EchoStar’s 5G rollout commitments, as well as its use of spectrum in the 2GHz band and its request for a buildout extension filed in September 2024.&nbsp;The agency stated that the buildout and deployment requirements are crucial to ensuring both rural and urban regions have equitable access to next-generation wireless infrastructure. The agency communicated its concerns in a letter dated May 9. But in a follow-up correspondence sent on September 8, the FCC chair confirmed that the staff had been instructed to end the investigation.These include dismissing a petition from VTel that sought reconsideration, affirming that EchoStar holds exclusive terrestrial and Mobile Satellite Service (MSS) rights for the AWS-4 spectrum it currently operates under, and confirming that the company has met all associated buildout and performance obligations.EchoStar stock has gained over 252% year-to-date and over 272% in the last 12 months.&nbsp;Also See:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/apple-iphone-17-event-today-what-to-expect/chwK5GrRdtI">Apple iPhone 17 Event Today: What To Expect And Where To Watch ‘Awe Dropping’ Launch</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.
