Foreign media: Elon Musk, the boss of Tesla, has become the first person in the world to have a fortune exceeding 500 billion dollars.

According to the Forbes Billionaires Index, Musk's net worth briefly reached 500.1 billion dollars on the afternoon of October 1 in New York time, and then slightly dropped to slightly above 499 billion dollars.

His wealth mainly comes from his holding of more than 12% of Tesla shares, and Tesla's stock has risen by more than 20% this year. In addition, the valuation of his artificial intelligence startup xAI and space exploration company SpaceX has also risen recently.
