With that, Elon Musk's fortune grew again – by almost $ 25.1 billion. The sharp rise in the share brought record growth not only to Tesla, but also to Musk himself. In the Billionaire Index, Musk is now listed at $ 174 billion, Business Insider reports.
That is also less than in January, at that time it was 210 billion US dollars, but he moved closer to Jeff Bezos, who is currently at 180 billion US dollars, because Amazon shares have also risen by 4 percent.
