AI-summarised brief · reviewed before publication
Elon Musk, the world's richest man and first-ever trillionaire, controls a vast business empire. His companies, including SpaceX, Tesla, and Neuralink, have grown significantly over the years. SpaceX, which went public on Friday, has merged with Musk's artificial intelligence company xAI and owns satellite communications service Starlink and social media platform X. Tesla, which Musk has led since 2008, has struggled with competition in the EV space but has rebounded. Neuralink, a brain-computer interface company, has launched clinical trials for people with spinal cord injuries and other conditions. Musk's companies have generated significant revenue, with SpaceX generating $4.4 billion in operating income last year.
