My question is can Elon musk sustain this new found financial spot for how long? We have seen bill gate coming back to this spot from time to time and occupying it for a longer time. Now that Elon musk is said being the richest in the world , is he going to keep to this status longer or we are yet going to hear another story of selling off assets because Elon musk is now known as a public stage man Grin

So what do you think?

Well, I think they will be exchanging places in the top 10 Richest People in the World. I mean all of them, those who specialize in modern technologies, Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Ellison, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, anyone of them can take first place at one point. Or, they can be replaced by guys like them, technological innovators, but hardly by old-timers like Warren Buffett and Bernard Arnault. And I don't mean their age. I mean their state of mind.

I do understand that the top 10 do change place all the time but I have to say that Elon and Jeff reached to a different level. Yes there is a good chance that other rich people could eventually pass them as well one day but I do not think that they are going to do that anytime soon.

Jeff Bezos owns amazon which is growing constantly and there is a chance that they could be the richest company in the world and pass apple whereas apple doesn't have that much owners which is the problem with that. I understand that Elon musk is not really big company owner because Tesla is a huge company but not in the running for being the richest company in the world but he owns a bigger portion of it. So I believe those two will be changing hands and the others will not be able to pass them just yet.
