Yesterday handed Elon Musk one of the largest single-day wealth gains in recorded financial history. SpaceX shares ripped from $160.95 to $192.50, and Forbes’ real-time billionaires tracker put Musk’s one-day paper gain at $164.8 billion.

Elon Musk crossed into trillionaire territory on Friday after SpaceX began trading on Nasdaq at 150150, and Bernie Sanders quickly turned the moment into a warning about wealth, power and
the gains Musk has made
since Donald Trump's election. Forbes said the jump pushed Musk's net worth above 11 trillion, making him the first person to reach that mark by its calculation.
Sanders has spent years making the case that extreme wealth concentration is not simply an economic problem but a political one. Earlier this year, he and Ro Khanna proposed a 5% annual wealth tax on 938 billionaires in the US, and he has repeatedly used public appearances and social media to argue that billionaire fortunes sit uneasily beside stagnant living standards for ordinary Americans.
Elon Musk and the Donald Trump Election Argument
Sanders made that case again on June 1212, when he posted a statement on X after Musk's fortune climbed higher. He wrote that
Musk's rise to trillionaire status
was 'not a time to celebrate. It's a call to action to take on the unprecedented income and wealth inequality …
