These strong rises in the share of "Tesla" came after the company broke a record in the delivery of electric cars in the fourth quarter exceeding 308 thousand cars, significantly exceeding the average estimates of analysts, which was at 263 thousand cars.
The company's market valuation jumped back above trillion dollars last month after falling in November and early December.
According to the U.S. Economic Journal, Musk's wealth has never been reached.
Over the past year, the world's billionaires have amassed an additional trillion dollars in stock price and valuation frenzy, and it has been a different year, especially for America's billionaires, who have turned much of their paper profits into reality, after raising stock prices in an unprecedented way.
