Bloomberg stated that Musk's wealth increased by 96.6 billion US dollars, or the equivalent of IDR 1,449 trillion, in the last six months, or since January 2023.

Elon Musk is also consistently the richest person in the World, according to both Forbes and Bloomberg. Even so, Musk has also stepped down, to be precise, at the end of 2022, according to Forbes.

In fact, according to Forbes, Musk's wealth had plummeted so that the title of the richest person in the World had to be handed over to someone else. At that time, Musk was in second place as the richest person in the World.
