    Tesla employee count: 140,473

    SpaceX employee count: 13,000

    Elon Musk could transfer $1 million in stock to each of his 153,473 employees,
    which would cost him $153 billion and he would still have a net worth of $302 billion!
    He’d still be the richest man in the world and would still have $56 billion more than Jeff Bezos!

    And some of that money he has came from under-paying factory workers at his Fremont, California assembly plant. For a long time the hourly rate was $22 (not sure what it is now) but auto plants in the Midwest were paying that or better and he was paying $22 per hour in one of the highest cost of living areas in the country.

    Elon is now worth more than Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates combined.
