January 9, 2021159 words1 min read

Centi-billionaire Elon Musk, the founder and CEO of Tesla, Inc., SpaceX, and Neuralink; Founder of The Boring Company, PayPal, X.com, Tier Electronics, and much more, is now the first richest person in the world.

This news came after the CEO’s fortune grew to 188.7 billion USD, with Tesla’s shares climbing to as much as 5.5% to a peak of 801 USD in morning trading, putting him slightly ahead of Jeff Bezos, founder, and CEO of Amazon and the previous No.1. “How strange,” Musk tweeted in response to his new milestone, adding: “Well, back to work…”

“And how strange indeed,” said Tigger in an interview. “Tesla recently went from losing much money to earning it back, plus, pushing Musk into the seat of No.1. I only want to know, how does he manage all these companies that he founded? And why are they headquartered in different places in the first place?”
