BAKU – Elon Musk’s net worth soared by a staggering USD26 billion after Donald Trump’s recent victory in the US presidential election, ignited by a rally in Tesla shares, India Today reported.

The single-day jump has elevated Musk’s fortune to USD290 billion, bringing him closer to an unprecedented USD300-billion mark.

Just this year, Musk’s net worth has increased by USD60 billion.

The boost came as Tesla’s shares climbed 14.75 percent to USD288.53 during after-hours trading, with Trump’s pro-business policies seen as a favorable backdrop for Tesla and Musk’s ventures.
