A provocative essay asks whether Elon Musk’s emergence as the world’s first trillionaire represents innovation triumph or economic policy failure.
Musk’s fortune surged on SpaceX’s June 12 IPO, when shares opened at 150 dollars and market capitalization exceeded two trillion dollars.
Supporters argue the wealth reflects value created through reusable rockets and satellite internet expansion.
Critics counter that extreme concentration of capital illustrates widening inequality despite technological progress.
