Tesla, with shares set to close at $ 408.09, an increase of about 14 percent, bringing Musk’s net worth to $ 117.5 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. His fortune has grown by $ 90 billion this year, the largest increase in the ranking of the 500 richest people in the world.
Tesla will join the S&P 500 on December 21, 2020 after months of speculation and a temporary setback. Tesla was not included in the index basket in September, despite meeting the criteria because it was not selected by the S&P Dow Jones ‘Index Committee’ when it analyzed on the basis of quantity and quality. Also, companies wanting to meet the target must report 4 consecutive quarters of interest determined by US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).
Tesla recently reported earnings for the fifth consecutive quarter, with third-quarter revenue of $ 8.77 billion. Additionally, the company also said it delivered 139,300 vehicles in the third quarter, a record number.
Over the weekend, Musk posted on Twitter that he “probably” had Covid-19 and had “mild cold” symptoms. That same day, four astronauts were launched to the International Space Station aboard a spacecraft developed by the Musk Corporation for Space Exploration Technologies.
