Elon Musk Soars Past Warren Buffett on Billionaires Ranking
(Bloomberg) -- Elon Musk is now richer than Warren Buffett.The fortune of Tesla Inc.’s chief executive officer rose $6.1 billion on Friday, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, after the carmaker’s stock surged 11%. Musk is now the world’s seventh-richest person, also ahead of tech titans Larry Ellison and Sergey Brin.The 49-year-old owns about a fifth of Tesla’s outstanding stock, which comprises the bulk of his $70.5 billion fortune. His majority ownership of closely held SpaceX accounts for about $15 billion.Shares of the electric-car maker have risen 269% this year. The company’s booming valuation helped Musk land a $595 million payday, making him the highest-paid CEO in the U.S.Musk is the latest tech entrepreneur to rise above Buffett in the ranks of the world’s richest. Steve Ballmer, the former Microsoft Corp. CEO, and Google’s co-founders Larry Page and Brin also have leapfrogged the Oracle of Omaha. And Indian tycoon Mukesh Ambani surpassed Buffett this week.Mike Novogratz, the longtime money manager who now runs digital currency investor Galaxy Digital Holdings Ltd., warned that valuations of technology companies are getting way too high and that small investors should get out of the market before it crashes.“We are in irrational exuberance -- this is a bubble,” he said Friday in a Bloomberg Television interview. “The economy is grinding, slowing down, we’re lurching in and out of Covid, yet the tech market makes new highs every day. That’s a classic speculative bubble.”Surpassing Buffett may be especially sweet for Musk. In an interview in May, he told comedian Joe Rogan that he wasn’t “the biggest fan” of his fellow billionaire. “He’s trying to find out does Coke or Pepsi deserve more capital? I mean that’s kind of a boring job, if you ask me,” Musk said.Buffett has also criticized Musk, saying last year that although Musk was “a remarkable guy,” he had “room for improvement” in behaving like a CEO, singling out his tweeting habits.Buffett’s fortune dropped earlier this week when he donated $2.9 billion to charity. The 89-year-old has given away more than $37 billion of Berkshire Hathaway shares since 2006. The company’s stock performance has also underwhelmed recently.(Adds Musk comments on Buffett in eighth paragraph.)For more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2020 Bloomberg L.P.

Reuters VideosTesla appears poised for electrifying S&P 500 debut
Tesla investors, buckle your seatbelts - the red-hot stock is likely to go from the fast lane into hyper-drive. Having soared 500 percent over the past year - revving to record high after record high – there are two major upcoming events that could push the stock even higher. Tesla CEO Elon Musk reports results on July 22nd and he could cross the finish line with his fourth straight quarterly profit - something never before seen for the electric car maker. If that happens, investors are betting that will trigger another milestone....an entrance into the benchmark S&P 500 index. Fund managers who mimic the S&P 500 would then be forced to buy the stock. S&P Dow Jones - the keeper of the S&P 500 - would neither confirm nor deny plans to add Tesla to the index, but said the so-called index funds that would need to buy Tesla to replicate the S&P 500 hold at least $4.4 trillion in assets. And there are trillions of dollars more at stake from stock pickers who are judged by a how well they do compared to the S&P 500; they too may be forced to buy Tesla shares. Sounds like a one-way bet to some, but others may see it as a speed trap. Not only is Tesla one of the most beloved stocks on Wall Street it is also one of the most controversial, due in part to Musk’s sometime mercurial behavior. Investors betting against the stock have put up $19 billion - the largest-ever bet that a company's stock will fall, according to one estimate. These naysayers point out that Tesla's entrance into the S&P 500 is far from a guarantee… And while the company may grab lots of headlines, it still sells far fewer cars than its larger rivals. In addition, competitors such as Porsche and General Motors are hard at work on their own electric models, hoping to eventually dim Tesla's halo and its meteoric stock price.

Tesla appears poised to electrify S&P 500
Tesla Inc appears on the verge of joining the S&P 500, a major accomplishment for Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk that would unleash a flood of new demand for the electric car maker's shares, which have already surged 500% over the past year. With a market capitalization of about $250 billion, Tesla would be among the most valuable companies ever added to the S&P 500, larger than 95% of the index's existing components. While analysts and investors have recently become more confident of Tesla's addition, an S&P Dow Jones Indices spokeswoman declined to comment about specific changes to the index.
