Elon Musk started 2022 with a bang.
Tesla reported it had smashed its previous record for vehicle deliveries, spurring a rally in the electric car-maker’s shares and creating one of the biggest one-day jumps in wealth.
Musk’s fortune jumped by $33.8 billion on Monday to $304.2 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. Jeff Bezos, second on the list, has a $196 billion fortune.
Tesla’s shares rose 13.5 per cent to $1,199.78 on Monday after fourth-quarter results handily exceeded analysts’ estimates for auto deliveries.
The company’s market valuation jumped back above $1 trillion after a dip in November and early December.
