Elon Musk becomes 1st ever trillionaire
SpaceX's IPO was reported as the world's biggest ever, valuing the company at $1.77 trillion and making founder and CEO Elon Musk the first-ever trillionaire.
More than 4,400 past and present employees were estimated to have become millionaires thanks to the move.
The reusable Falcon 9 rocket nailed its landing (again), showing how SpaceX keeps pushing what rockets can do.
