Elon Musk, the outspoken entrepreneur behind Tesla Inc. and SpaceX, is now the richest person in the world - a feat he himself finds "strange".
Elon Musk surpassed Jeff Bezos on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, a ranking of the world's 500 wealthiest people, thanks to a 4.8% rally in the electric carmaker's share price Thursday. But even as his net worth touched a staggering $188.5 billion, Mr. Musk himself was raring to go back to work.
On Thursday, a Twitter account called 'Tesla Owners of Silicon Valley' shared the news to the 49-year-old business magnate becoming the world's richest person, and earned a wry response from Mr. Musk himself.
