Elon Musk Was the First Person To Have a Net Worth of $400 Billion: What Could It Mean for Tesla Stock?
Elon Musk's business ventures have turned him into the wealthiest person on the planet. He was also the first person to reach a net worth of $400 billion, though his net worth has since fallen to about $342 billion, per the Forbes Billionaires List. Although Musk has many companies, none of them have impacted his wealth more than Tesla. The electric vehicle (EV) maker is tapping into autonomous vehicles and artificial intelligence (AI) to achieve long-term revenue growth, and these catalysts are part of the reason Tesla is worth approximately $1 trillion. Read Next: Find Out: Read on for more details about how Musk and his wealth could affect Tesla stock going forward. Musk Is Heavily Invested in Tesla Although Musk has many ventures, Tesla is the most significant portion of his wealth. This bodes well for Tesla investors since Musk has to maintain Tesla's value to maintain his wealth and fund other ventures. If Tesla crashed, Musk's fortune would take a big dip, and that could hinder his ability to start additional ventures and fund his existing ones. Even though it may look like Musk isn't fully focused on Tesla from time to time, especially with his recent entrance into politics, it is a vital piece of his wealth. Musk, like any billionaire, likely strives to increase his wealth to the best of his ability, and most people share that goal. Other ventures could serve him well, but Tesla is the foundation. Cybercabs and Optimus represent two of Tesla's moonshot opportunities. Musk made EVs popular, and with his leadership, he could also make cybercabs and humanoid robots mainstream. That could make for plenty of happy shareholders. Check Out: Musk Still Has Other Companies Musk still has a bunch of other companies, such as SpaceX, xAI, X, Neuralink and The Boring Company, that contribute to his wealth as well. Each of these companies will grab some of Musk's attention, and he may turn to smaller ventures for outsize gains. For instance, it's likely easier to turn a $10 billion company into a $100 billion company than it is to turn Tesla from a $1 trillion company to a $10 trillion company. Some investors have praised Musk's ability to generate meaningful growth for Tesla while focusing on other ventures. However, other investors may wish that he exclusively focused on Tesla. Musk's ventures, however, could also be great news for Tesla, as they could possibly give him more assets that he could use to drive more innovation and demand for Tesla, potentially resulting in a higher stock price. Musk Remains the Pulse of Tesla Stock Few stocks can command valuations as high as Tesla's, but few companies have leaders like Musk. The tech billionaire remains the linchpin that decides Tesla's fate. His entrance into politics, for example, caused the stock a lot of volatility this year. It's down over 15% for the year as of July 17. Some investors still remain bullish on Tesla, while others are more cautious after its significant drop this year. Although short-term noise can drive plenty of price movement, many investors remain committed due to Musk's leadership and the company's exciting opportunities.

Uber, Lucid partner on new robotaxi service, taking on Waymo and Tesla
Uber (UBER) is betting big on robotaxis, with pure-play electric vehicle maker Lucid (LCID) as its partner. The two companies, along with autonomous tech firm Nuro ( announced on Thursday morning a 'next-generation premium global robotaxi program' exclusively for the Uber platform. The new robotaxi program would outfit the Lucid Gravity SUV with Nuros Driver Level 4 autonomous software, deployed on Uber's platform and fleet management systems. Uber says the goal is to deploy 20,000 or more Lucid EVs equipped with the Nuro Driver over the next six years. The Lucid EVs will be owned and operated by Uber or its third-party fleet partners, and the service is expected to launch next year in a 'major US city.' A Lucid robotaxi prototype using Nuro software is already being tested at Nuro's Las Vegas proving grounds. As part of the deal, Uber said it will invest $300 million in Lucid, and a similar 'multi-hundred-million dollar" investment in Nuro. 'We're thrilled to partner with Nuro and Lucid on this new robotaxi program, purpose-built just for the Uber platform, to safely bring the magic of autonomous driving to more people across the world,' Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said in a statement. 'This investment from Uber further validates Lucid's fully redundant zonal architecture and highly capable platform as ideal for autonomous vehicles,' Lucid interim CEO Marc Winterhoff said. 'This is the start of our path to extend our innovation and technology leadership into this multi-trillion-dollar market.' The Uber-Lucid-Nuro robotaxi program is the latest bet on robotaxi services in the US, following Waymo's leadership in the space as the only true operator. Uber has also partnered with Alphabet's (GOOG) Waymo in deployments in Austin and Atlanta. And just this week, Tesla (TSLA) expanded its robotaxi testing in Austin, and Musk said the company would expand testing to the San Francisco Bay Area. However, reports suggest those applications for those state permits have not been submitted. Uber once had its own robotaxi operations, but the company pulled its efforts following a high-profile accident in Tempe, Arizona, in 2018. As for Lucid, the California-based company announced a strong second quarter of deliveries, with the new Lucid Gravity SUV arriving in showrooms. Lucid's goal to deliver 20,000 Air sedans and Gravity SUVs in 2025 seems ambitious, but the orders coming from Uber will help meet that goal, assuming Lucid and ramp up Gravity production. Uber and Lucid, respectively, are Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund's (PIF) top holdings, which may shed some light on why the companies are partnering up. Per PIF's latest 13F statement, noting the fund's holdings as of March 31, the fund owns a $5.31 billion stake in Uber and a $4.29 billion stake in Lucid, though PIF's stake in Lucid makes it the majority owner.

T-Mobile Takes Friday Night 5G Lights to a Whole. New. Level: More Winners, More Ways to Win and $4M in Total Prizes Up for Grabs
The Un-carrier's nationwide competition to level the playing field for small towns returns with Patrick Mahomes and Rob Gronkowski rallying high schools to share their stories for a chance to win a game-changing football field makeover BELLEVUE, Wash., July 17, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) today announced the return of Friday Night 5G Lights, the game-changing competition turning high school football into a nationwide celebration of hometown pride. Last season, nearly 1,750 high schools from all 50 states brought unmatched energy and creativity, rallying their communities and the nation. Magenta was everywhere — football jerseys, signs and even hair — as small towns nationwide repped T-Mobile and showed off their school spirit on and off the field. Students called on celebrities like Jennifer Garner, Jamie Lee Curtis and Matthew McConaughey to hype up their schools. Entire towns packed stands, cheering their hearts out. Millions of votes poured in. In the small town of Inola, Oklahoma, home to less than 2,000 people, students at Inola High School hustled so hard, they called every other school in the state (that's over 1,700!) and even traveled to Oklahoma City to drum up support, ultimately winning the grand prize. After a wildly successful debut, the 2025 season promises to be even bigger, with more winners, more prizes and more chances for small towns to shine on a national stage. "Last year, we saw what happens when small towns get the spotlight they deserve, and the response blew us away," said Jon Freier, President, T-Mobile Consumer Group. "So this year, we're turning it up. We're shining a bigger spotlight with Friday Night 5G Lights so more communities can share what makes them special and get the support they need to bring their vision to life." This year's competition is putting over $4 million in total prizes on the line: 450 schools will win $5,000 through weekly $5K Fridays giveaways. 25 finalists will each score $25,000 for their football programs. 1 lucky finalist will win "Fan Favorite" as voted on by T-Mobile employees to receive an extra $25,000. 1 grand prize winner will receive a $1 million football field upgrade, a renovated weight room from Gronk Fitness, a consultation with stadium experience experts, an all-expense-paid trip to the SEC Championship Game for select school officials and students and a tailgate party revealing the finalized upgrades in 2026. Whew! Beyond the competition, T-Mobile customers can get in on the action and score a Friday Night 5G Lights water bottle on July 29 and a stadium bag on Aug. 26 through T-Mobile Tuesdays. Super Bowl Legends Champion the Competition To help make this year's competition even louder and prouder, three-time Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes is joining the fun alongside returning ambassador Rob "Gronk" Gronkowski, as well as top college athletes and high school football heroes. "Growing up in a small town in Texas, I know what high school football means to these communities and how much love the players, parents and fans have for the game," said Mahomes. "This competition is all about recognizing that heart and giving these communities the kind of support they deserve." "Friday nights are about so much more than just football to small towns. They're about community, tradition and pride," said Gronkowski, four-time Super Bowl champ. "We saw so much passion and dedication last year with Friday Night 5G Lights, that we knew we had to take things further this time around. The energy is electric, and I can't wait to see what these schools do." How to Get in the Game High schools in U.S. towns with populations under 150,000 are eligible to apply. Authorized school officials, including teachers, coaches or administrators can submit an entry on behalf of their school at Submissions must include a short story or essay about why their school deserves an Un-carrier-style transformation for their football field.

Any school that signs up will automatically be entered for a chance to win $5,000 in our "$5K Fridays" sweepstakes running each week of the application period, with 100 winners selected in Week 1 and 50 winners in each of the following seven weeks.
