Elon Musk is on track to become the world\u2019s first trillionaire by 2027, according to a new global wealth report.<\/p>\n

Musk, 53, is currently the richest person in the world, with a net worth of $251bn (\u00a3191bn), according to Bloomberg\u2019s Billionaires Index.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

However, according to Informa Connect Academy\u2019s findings, his wealth has been growing at an average rate of 110% a year.<\/p>\n

It means that \u2013 providing his wealth continues to grow at the same rate \u2013 he could reach the trillionaire mark within the next three years, according to the findings.<\/p>\n

The same report \u2013 the 2024 Trillion Dollar Club \u2013 puts Musk\u2019s electric car business Tesla at a market value of $669.3bn (\u00a3509.7bn).<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Its growth rate is also exceedingly high \u2013 173.3% per year according to Informa Connect Academy \u2013 which means the business alone could exceed $1tn (\u00a30.76tn) by next year.<\/p>\n

Unsurprisingly, the top two richest companies valued by the growth report were Microsoft ($3.4tn or \u00a32.6tn) and Apple ($3.3tn or \u00a32.5tn).<\/p>\n

The two tech giants reached the trillion-dollar mark in 2019 and 2018 respectively.<\/p>\n

Informa Connect Academy estimated Indian business conglomerate founder Gautam Adani as being the second closest to becoming a trillionaire.<\/p>\n

With an annual growth rate of 123%, he is said to reach the milestone by 2028.<\/p>\n

Jensen Huang, chief executive of tech firm Nvidia, and Indonesian energy and mining mogul Prajogo Pangestu are also predicted to become trillionaires by 2028, according to their current trajectories.<\/p>\n

Repeated controversies<\/strong><\/p>\n

Musk\u2019s other businesses include spacecraft manufacturer SpaceX, neurotechnology firm Neuralink, and The Boring Company \u2013 formerly a subsidiary of SpaceX but now its own tunnel construction company.<\/p>\n

Since the multi-billionaire bought Twitter for around $44bn (\u00a333.5bn) in late-2022, soon rebranding it X, he has repeatedly caused controversy<\/strong>, including apologising for endorsing an antisemitic conspiracy theory and telling advertisers who had left the platform to \u201cf**k off\u201d.<\/p>\n

Most recently, a feud with Brazil\u2019s Supreme Court has seen X banned in the country<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

He also interviewed former President Donald Trump<\/strong> live on the platform after declaring his support for his bid for re-election.<\/p>\n

This week, Musk posted on his X account to say that a Tucker Carlson interview with podcaster Darryl Cooper was \u201cvery interesting\u201d and \u201cworth watching\u201d.<\/p>\n

In the interview, Cooper, another right-wing media figure, made false claims about the Holocaust, saying the Nazis didn\u2019t intend to murder so many people and instead suggested they didn\u2019t have the resources to care for them.<\/p>\n

The White House condemned the interview, describing the comments as \u201cdisgusting\u201d and a \u201csadistic insult to all Americans\u201d and \u201cto the memory of the over six million Jews who were genocidally murdered by Adolf Hitler\u201d.<\/p>\n

Musk later deleted the post.<\/p>\n

He has also taken issue with Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, branding him \u201cTwo Tier Keir<\/strong>\u201c<\/strong> during the recent UK riots and accusing him of endorsing so-called \u201ctwo-tier policing\u201d.<\/p>\n

Sir Keir responded by criticising \u201csocial media companies and those who run them\u201d of \u201cwhipping up violent disorder online\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
