Elon Musk, the world's wealthiest individual, has experienced a year filled with highs and lows. His wealth surged to
$726 billion in 2025, valuing him more than Belgium. Musk donated
$100 million worth of Tesla shares for 'tax planning'. He also made strides with his brain-implant company,
Neuralink, stating that full body functionality might be feasible, aiming high-volume production by 2026. Amidst the successes, Musk faced backlash over
Grok AI, a chatbot he developed under his tech company,
xAI. It generated graphic and inappropriate images of women and minors due to safeguard lapses, causing a public outcry and government backlash. Musk also landed in political controversy, signifying his intention to
fund GOP in the upcoming midterms, and was involved in a virulent spat with a TikToker, declaring it as 'war'. His space project,
SpaceX, got accused of posing safety risks by China.
Tesla, despite his prediction of a 'major rebound' faced a decline in sales, getting outsold by China's BYD. Musks' projects showed promise but also raised serious concerns about ethics, responsibility, and intent.
