Resolution Criteria

A trillionaire is defined as an individual with a net worth of $1 trillion or more. This market resolves YES if Elon Musk's net worth reaches $1 trillion USD or higher at any point before July 1, 2026. Resolution will be determined by tracking his net worth through major wealth indices including the Bloomberg Billionaires Index (https://www.bloomberg.com/billionaires/) and Forbes Real Time Billionaires list (https://www.forbes.com/real-time-billionaires/). The market resolves NO if his net worth remains below $1 trillion through June 30, 2026.

Background

As of January 2026, Elon Musk is the wealthiest person in the world with an estimated net worth of $690 billion according to Bloomberg and $788 billion according to Forbes, primarily from his ownership stakes in SpaceX and Tesla. According to Forbes, he became the first person to achieve $500 billion in October 2025 and $600 billion in mid-December 2025. Musk's largest source of wealth is his $366 billion stake in SpaceX, which is currently valued at $800 billion, and in 2026 its valuation could climb to $1.5 trillion in a potential mega IPO. In November, shareholders approved a new pay package for Musk that could make him the world's first trillionaire if he succeeds in increasing Tesla's market cap to $8.5 trillion while hitting a series of financial and operational goals.

Considerations

A potential SpaceX IPO, which could value the space company at $1.5 trillion, would bring Musk closer to the $1 trillion wealth threshold. However, the timeline for a SpaceX IPO remains uncertain. Additionally, Musk's net worth is highly volatile and dependent on stock price movements in Tesla and valuations of private companies like SpaceX and xAI, which can fluctuate significantly based on market conditions and company performance.
