How Much Does the Tech Mogul Make Every Day?

Let's go, follow me!

Damn it, every time I open the internet, I come across Elon Musk. Whether it's his ridiculous tweets, his scandals, or selling smoke as "revolutionary innovations." This guy is always seeking the spotlight. The same goes for his obscene fortune. It's no wonder that one of the most searched questions is how much cash this character makes a day. And believe me, the answer is going to make you nauseous.

But before talking about figures, who is this guy really? How has he amassed so much wealth while the rest of us survive on crumbs?

The Megalomaniac Behind the Empire

Elon is not just any billionaire. He leads Tesla, controls SpaceX, and has his claws in Neuralink, The Boring Company, and now xAI. Oh, and let's not forget that he bought Twitter for 44 billion to turn it into his personal megaphone.

His fortune does not come solely from one company or some lucky investment. He is involved in multiple industries, selling futuristic dreams while exploiting thousands of workers. That explains why his wealth is so volatile and obscenely large.

Where Did All This Money Come From?

His story begins in the 90s with Zip2, a kind of online city guide that sold for $307 million, pocketing $22 million. Then came X.com, which transformed into PayPal and when eBay bought it for $1.5 billion, he netted $180 million.

Instead of settling down like any normal person would, he reinvested almost everything into Tesla, SpaceX, and SolarCity. A move that has made him one of the richest guys in modern history while his employees struggle to unionize.

Your Current Fortune: An Insult to Humanity

As of April 2025, this guy has amassed about 220 billion dollars. 220 billion! This figure constantly changes according to the whims of the stock market, especially with Tesla's shares. To give you an idea, his wealth went from "only" 27 billion in 2020 to over 300 billion in 2021, while millions lost their jobs during the pandemic.

What We Earn While We Sleep

Now the good part: with his current 220 billion, this guy "earns" about 602 million A DAY. Yes, you read that right. While you struggle to make ends meet, he brings in more than half a billion daily, depending on the market.

It's an approximate estimate and does not reflect cash income, but damn, who cares? The amount is just obscene.

Your Money Is Not Like Ours

The important thing is that your wealth exists mainly on paper. You do not have mountains of cash ( although you could have them ). Your money is in Tesla stocks, shares in SpaceX, and other companies. This means that when the stocks fall, your net worth can plummet by billions overnight.

In fact, towards the end of 2022 and again in 2024, his fortune decreased significantly because Tesla's stocks suffered. But of course, he quickly recovered while ordinary people continued to struggle.

How Does This Guy Charge?

There was a time when he supposedly did not receive a salary from Tesla. In 2018, the company designed a package that granted him stock options upon reaching certain goals. These were very ambitious targets, such as achieving specific revenues or increasing market capitalization.

He achieved many of these goals, unlocking billions in options. This "performance-based" pay structure is a big reason why his wealth has skyrocketed in recent years. So technically, he doesn't earn a daily salary, but billions for "performance". What a shame.

Your Weekly and Monthly Earnings Are an Insult

Let's see more shocking figures:

• Per week: about 4.2 billion
• Per month: approximately 18 billion

This surpasses the GDP of many countries. Do you think it's fair?

Is He Really the Richest?

Elon and Jeff Bezos have been competing for the title of the richest for years, with Bernard Arnault (head of LVMH) occasionally joining the race.

In early 2025, Musk ranks first or second, depending on that day's stock fluctuations. But even if he isn't always number one, he remains in that exclusive club of 200,000+ million, a place that only a few privileged have accessed while millions go hungry.

What Do You Do With So Much Money?

Despite being absurdly wealthy, Musk claims not to live a luxurious lifestyle. He states that he sold his houses to live in a small prefab home near SpaceX. He has publicly said that he wants to "die on Mars" ( but not by crashing ).

However, it spends enormous amounts on projects such as:

• Colonize Mars ( while the Earth burns )
• Build humanoid robots ( that will replace workers )
• Develop brain-computer interfaces ( Mind control? )
• Dig tunnels for cars ( instead of public transport )
• Train AI models ( for what, I wonder )

In summary, reinvest in elitist technology instead of solving real problems like poverty or climate change.

This is the world we live in: a single man accumulates 600 million a day while thousands die from lack of basic resources. Do you still believe the system works?
