Elon Musk - SpaceX Tesla CEO, Elon Musk, is set to become the first trillionaire in the world, according to a forecast made by Morgan Stanley - an investment firm. However, contrary to public sentiment, Elon Musk's future trillionaire status won't be coming from his Tesla electric cars, but from SpaceX, his space exploration startup. SpaceX was founded by Elon Musk in 2002, with the aim of sending humans to space at a much cheaper cost, and they are doing just as a seat that formerly cost $80 million on Soyuz spacecraft has crashed to about $58 million on SpaceX rockets. It is worthy to note that the value of Elon Musk's Tesla Car company is about 30 times the current value of SpaceX, and that is where the future comes to play.
