    Tesla CEO Elon Musk on Wednesday became the first person in history to achieve a net worth of nearly $500 billion, propelled by a rebound in the EV company’s shares and surging valuations of the tech entrepreneur’s other startups. Musk’s net worth stood at $499.5 billion as of 3:55 p.m. E.T., according to Forbes’ billionaires index. Tesla stock has been driving the increase in Musk’s net worth. The shares have risen more than 14% so far this year and climbed nearly 4% on Wednesday, adding more than $7 billion to his net worth.
