Elon Musk Sparks Controversy, Wealth Surges to New High
Elon Musk, the world's wealthiest individual, has sparked debate by criticizing UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on social media. Meanwhile, Musk's fortune continues to surge, reaching a new peak.
Musk took to Twitter to lambaste Sunak, describing him as an 'empty-headed actor'. He also claimed that people around the Prime Minister dictate what he should say. This remark has drawn criticism from both sides of the political spectrum.
In stark contrast to the controversy, Musk's fortune has continued to grow at an astonishing pace. His company's stocks surged by 4% in a single trading session, adding approximately $9.3 billion to his already staggering net worth. This latest increase comes hot on the heels of Musk becoming the first person in history to reach a net worth of $500 billion.
While Musk's comments have sparked debate, his financial success shows no signs of slowing down. As for the UK, the government will likely have to navigate the diplomatic implications of Musk's remarks. Meanwhile, in Russia, a new ranking of the country's wealthiest businessmen has been published.
