00:00Elon Musk is about to become the world's first trillionaire.

00:03That's over $1 trillion in net worth.

00:05And the crazy part, most countries on Earth are worth less than him.

00:10Right now, Musk already owns around $273 billion through Tesla.

00:15But SpaceX could soon push his fortune past $1.1 trillion.

00:20To understand how massive that is, if you spent $1 million every hour nonstop,

00:25it would still take more than 100 years to spend $1 trillion.

00:30His wealth could soon be bigger than the entire economy of Singapore,

00:35all the property in Houston, and even every new car sold in America last year.

00:41Combine Jeff Bezos, Larry Page, Sergey Brin, and Larry Ellison still wouldn't be worth more than Musk.

00:50But here's the important part.

00:52Most of his money is tied to Tesla and SpaceX stock.

00:55So if those companies fall, his fortune could drop fast.

00:59Still, the trillionaire era is officially here.
