Summary
Elon Musk, currently worth $696 billion, is on track to become the world's first trillionaire when SpaceX goes public. The article explores how to visualize a trillion dollars using charts and graphics, noting that references to "trillion" were historically rare before increasing after WWII. It also highlights that AI rivals OpenAI and Anthropic, each valued around $900 billion, suggest trillion-dollar valuations could become a new standard.
