Elon Musk, the man behind Tesla Inc and SpaceX, has surpassed Amazon's Jeff Bezos to become the richest person in the world. A 4.8% rally in Musk's share price on Thursday is what led to him crossing Amazon founder Jeff Bezos on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
While sharing this news on social media, a Twitter account by the name of 'Tesla Owners of Silicon Valley' wrote, "@elonmusk is now the richest person in the world at $190 billion."

Musk wrote, "How strange", followed by "Well, back to work ..."
