Musk's Reign: Wealth, Dogecoin, and Curious Contradictions

Elon Musk sits atop the world's wealth pyramid as of September 2025. His fortune? Nearly $350 billion now. Staggering. The money keeps flowing in from Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink, and X. Nobody's even close to catching him. Billions more just this past year.

His business empire grows. Yet it's his Dogecoin connection that really fascinates me. The crypto trades around $0.27103 these days. Modest gains this week. But when Musk tweets? Magic happens. Markets move. Fundamentals seem almost irrelevant when he mentions the coin.

Kind of surprising how he handles his philanthropy, though. He's claimed Effective Altruism "closely matches" his personal giving philosophy. But looking closer? Not really. His donations feel random. Unplanned. The strategic impact-maximizing approach that EA champions isn't quite visible in his giving patterns.

Then there's that story with Mary Beth Brown. Still comes up in business conversations. She worked alongside him for 12 years. His right hand. Managed his impossible schedule across all those companies. Then it ended in 2014. Something about a compensation discussion. Not entirely clear what really happened there.

Zuckerberg, Bezos, Gates – they're all still incredibly wealthy too. But none can move markets with just a few words. Only Musk does that with Dogecoin. One tweet. That's all it takes. It's this weird intersection where extreme wealth meets tech influence meets internet culture. Only Musk lives there.
