In a milestone that redefines the scale of personal wealth, Elon Musk has become the first trillionaire in history, propelled by SpaceX’s blockbuster Nasdaq IPO — the largest initial public offering of all time. Greek commentators noted the irony: SpaceX received over $500 million in government subsidies in its early years alone, prompting analysts to observe that “Tesla and SpaceX wouldn’t exist without the government.” Musk, looking ahead, predicted that within five years, artificial intelligence will surpass all human intellect and at least 100 million humanoid robots could be in circulation.
