Elon Musk’s fortune again exceeded $1 trillion, RBC, TASS, Vedomosti, iXBT, 3DNews and Kommersant reported. TASS said it rose by $30.6 billion compared with October 2, and Vedomosti, iXBT and Kommersant, all citing Forbes, gave the same figure. Kommersant said Tesla shares closed up 2.20% and SpaceX shares up 7.63% on October 5. [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 ]
Vedomosti, citing Forbes, said that on the morning of October 5 Tesla shares rose about 1% and SpaceX shares more than 5%. iXBT reported the same morning moves and said SpaceX stock reached $167 a share. 3DNews said SpaceX shares rose almost 8% to $171 after Morgan Stanley raised its price target to $300, and put Musk’s personal fortune at $1.03 trillion. [ 3 , 4 , 5 ]
The documents tie the move to Tesla’s third quarter. Vedomosti and iXBT said quarterly deliveries came in above analysts’ forecasts, adding $61 billion to the estimated value of Musk’s assets on October 2 alone. Kommersant said Tesla’s results for the quarter exceeded analysts’ expectations. [ 3 , 4 , 6 ]
RBC recalled that Musk became the first trillionaire in history on June 12 and held the status for 12 days, while iXBT dated his first trillionaire spell to June, after SpaceX’s listing on Nasdaq, and 3DNews said he lost the status before the end of that month as Tesla and SpaceX shares fell. Kommersant described the June event as SpaceX’s record initial public offering, and Vedomosti noted that in July Musk said he was a “former trillionaire” after losing $118 billion and dropping below $1 trillion. [ 1 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 ]
The outlets differ on the size of the next fortune down. Vedomosti and iXBT, citing Forbes, put Amazon founder Jeff Bezos at $371.5 billion, while Kommersant, also citing Forbes, put him at $371.1 billion and listed Larry Page at $284.3 billion and Dell Technologies head Michael Dell at $272.2 billion behind him. RBC’s second report said Musk’s fortune is almost twice that of his nearest rivals. [ 3 , 4 , 6 , 7 ]
Among other factors, Vedomosti noted SpaceX’s Starship test flight, which it said launched on September 28, lasted three hours and was described by the company as successful. 3DNews said the Pentagon put Musk among the leaders of the Project Meridian initiative, that SpaceX had earned more than $12.7 billion on defence contracts by some estimates, and that a coming Starship test flight would seek to catch the reusable booster. Vedomosti and 3DNews also reported Musk’s statements that SpaceXAI would be renamed SpaceXSI, which Vedomosti linked to the SpaceX share rise as a possible factor and tied to a call by US President Donald Trump to use the term superintelligence.

Почему это важно
Musk’s fortune is tied to Tesla and SpaceX, two globally followed companies, so the renewed trillion-dollar valuation reflects how markets priced them after Tesla’s quarterly figures and a Starship test flight. The coverage also places him far ahead of the next names on the wealth list, a gap RBC set out to quantify.

Пока неясно
- Musk’s total fortune beyond the $1 trillion threshold. TASS, Vedomosti and Kommersant give the $30.6 billion increase, and 3DNews puts the total at $1.03 trillion, but the other documents state only that it passed $1 trillion.
- How much SpaceX shares gained on October 5. Vedomosti and iXBT say more than 5% in morning trading with a $167 price, 3DNews says almost 8% to $171, and Kommersant says they closed up 7.63%; the documents describe different points in the session.
- Jeff Bezos’s fortune as second-ranked. Vedomosti and iXBT, citing Forbes, put Bezos at $371.5 billion, while Kommersant, also citing Forbes, puts him at $371.1 billion.
- The exact date and time Musk crossed the trillion-dollar threshold again. The documents state the renewed status without giving the moment it occurred.
- Musk’s Pentagon role in the Project Meridian initiative and SpaceX’s defence contract revenue of more than $12.7 billion. These appear only in 3DNews and are not corroborated by the other documents.
- Whether Musk’s statements about renaming SpaceXAI to SpaceXSI contributed to the SpaceX share rise. Vedomosti reports the renaming remarks and links them to the share move as a possible cause; 3DNews mentions the renaming without tying it to the gain.
