    Elon Musk surpasses Jeff Bezos to become world's richest person
  • Tesla Inc. and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has surpassed Amazon boss Jeff Bezos to become the world's richest person, Bloomberg reported on Thursday.

    Reportedly, a 4.8% rally in Tesla's share price boosted Musk's fortune past Bezos's on the Bloomberg's Billionaires Index, a ranking of the world's 500 wealthiest people.

    Musk is a rival to Bezos—the owner of Blue Origin LLC—in the private space race.
