Elon Reeve Musk (; born June 28, 1971) is a businessman known for his key roles in Tesla, Inc., SpaceX, and X, formerly Twitter (which he has owned since 2022). Since 2025, he has been a senior advisor to President Donald Trump and head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Musk is the wealthiest person in the world; as of February 2025, Forbes estimates his net worth to be US$384 billion.
Musk was born to an affluent South African family in Pretoria before immigrating to Canada, acquiring Canadian citizenship via his mother. He moved to California in 1995 to attend Stanford University, and with his brother Kimbal co-founded the software American electric vehicle and clean energy company "Tesla Motors" redirects here.

(TESS-lə or TEZ-lə) is an American multinational automotive and clean energy company. Headquartered in Austin, Texas, it designs, manufactures and sells battery electric vehicles (BEVs), stationary battery energy storage devices from home to grid-scale, solar panels and solar shingles, and related products and services. Tesla was incorporated in July 2003 by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning as Tesla Motors. Its name is a tribute to inventor and electrical engineer Nikola Tesla. In February 2004, Elon Musk led Tesla's f Elon Musk's Tesla is back in the news, with shares see-sawing to the upside once more, following the company's recent Robotaxi announcement. The rise came after the company saw shares falling after disappointing Q1 2024 delivery numbers, revealed in early April. Further speculation of the electric vehicle (EV) company scrapping plans for a cheaper $25,000 (€23,027.75) vehicle have been met with dismay from European and global Tesla fans alike. Although Musk attempted to deny the rumours, investors and clients were not convinced and shares lower. The continuing streak of losses has prompted the company to announce a new product, the Robotaxi, which is expected to be a futuristic self-driving car that would not even need a steering wheel. As expected, the announcement led to renewed excitement among buyers. That was reflected in the share price, which rose. Tesla's shares were trading at €162.0 on Tuesday. However, not everyone seems to be entirely convinced about the Robotaxi or Tesla in general. The company has been known to announce plans for extravagant products in what is seen as a bid to get investor attention, when times have been difficult. This means that both buyers and investors are constantly focused on new products, and anticipating where the company can potentially go, rather than how it might do so. This is despite the company proving time and again that it can take several years for these impressive products to ever go live. As a result, existing issues, which might be a hindrance to these ambitious plans, often go ignored for some time. However, this strategy does reduce Tesla's need to spend large amounts on other advertising and marketing avenues. Speculations of whether the Robotaxi will ever see the light of day have already started circulating, mainly due to Tesla promising fully autonomous .Tesla, Inc.
