    About this figure

    This is the latest published estimate, shown with its date; the Sources page names who publishes it. It is not a bank balance. Calculate now replaces it with our estimate: this reading, moved by what his Tesla and SpaceX shares have done since. How that works.

    Owned by SpaceXxAI

    SpaceX acquired xAI in February 2026, so its value sits inside the SpaceX line and is never added a second time.

    A tunnelling company. Published estimates count a stake here while placing the bulk of the fortune in SpaceX and Tesla.

    How rich is Elon Musk?

    The answers below explain what a number like that does and does not mean.

    How much is Elon Musk worth today?

    The figure at the top of this page is the most recent Forbes estimate we have checked, shown with the date Forbes gave it and the date we read it. Calculate now swaps it for our estimate, the same reading moved by Tesla and SpaceX share prices since, and labels it as ours.

    Is net worth the same as money in the bank?

    No. Net worth is the estimated value of what someone owns, less what they owe. Most of this figure is company shares. Selling on that scale would move the price and trigger tax, and part of his Tesla holding is restricted until January 2028.

    Parody illustration. Not Elon Musk and not his words.
    How do Tesla and SpaceX affect his wealth?

    Both are listed, so the value of his shares moves with each share price during market hours. A company's market value is the worth of the whole company, not of his part of it.

    Why do net worth estimates disagree?

    Publishers use different share counts, different dates, different treatment of options and debt, and different valuations for private companies. Printing a figure to the last dollar removes none of that.

    How Calculate now works

    It starts from the Forbes reading and adds what his Tesla and SpaceX holdings have gained or lost since the close on 6 October 2026. Nothing else moves, so the figure changes only when a price does.

    Where the prices come from

    Your browser asks Robinhood for Tesla and SpaceX prices, which it quotes through the night on weekdays. If that fails it asks CoinGecko for tokens that track the two shares and trade at any hour, and labels them as token prices. If neither answers, it uses the latest close on our record. Every figure says which one it used and when.

    Which shares are counted

    Tesla: the 413,152,109 shares in his trust. The 286,428,773 restricted shares from his 2018 options are left out, as Forbes leaves them out, and so is the 2025 award, which has not vested.

    SpaceX: the 4,766,475,230 shares his trusts hold and his 350,000,000 options, which gain or lose a dollar for every dollar the share moves. The 1,302,072,285 restricted shares that have not vested are left out. Both counts come from his SEC filings.

    The method in full

    Land a booster

    Fly a falling booster onto a drone ship at dusk: steer it over the deck, light the engine late and land it upright. For when the numbers get heavy.

    Paper wealth, real life

    One typographic print about keeping big numbers in proportion. Orders are not open yet.

    Every number should have a source

    The rules this site holds itself to.

    Evidence before estimates

    A holding enters our count only with a dated filing behind it. Where evidence is missing, the line stays empty and says so.

    Uncertainty stays visible

    Private stakes and debts cannot be observed day to day. Dates, ranges and stale prices are shown beside the figure, never hidden under it.

    Independent by design

    This site is unofficial and has no connection to Elon Musk or his companies. Sponsors, the game and the print never touch the figures.

    Read the methodology

    Bring it home

    Steer the booster over the drone ship, light the engine late and touch down upright under 5 m/s. The physics are simplified; the proportions are real.
