- In early 2024, a Delaware judge voided Musk's 2018 deal to receive options equaling an additional 9% of Tesla. Forbes has discounted the options by 50% pending Musk's appeal.

- Musk owns an estimated 54% of xAI, which he founded in 2023. Private investors valued the company at a reported $50 billion in November 2024.
- Musk, who says he's worried about population collapse, has 11 children with three women, including triplets and two sets of twins.
- As a kid in South Africa, Musk taught himself to code; he sold his first game, Blastar, for about $500.
