In a strange twist of stock market fate, Tesla company founder and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk just passed Amazon’s Jeff Bezos to claim the dubious title of World’s Richest Person.
According to a report from Bloomberg, this jockeying for financial positions happened when Tesla, the company named for the brilliant inventor Nikola Tesla, had a 4.8% stock bump this morning.
Musk’s worth currently sits at $188.5 billion, which is $1.5 billion more than Bezos.
One step closer to being a Bond villain.

Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
