Comparing Musks' Money to the Average American's
You know how a $1 bill feels inconsequential? For Elon Musk, $3,393,900 feels the same way.
The average American earns $28.82 per hour. Musk? A cool $70,673,077.
Musk earns about $19,631 per second. The average American has to work nearly 5.5 months to earn that much.
Americans are struggling to buy homes, which currently have an average value of $369,147, per Zillow. Elon Musk's annual income would let him purchase 1,091 of them.
Most Americans spend $11 to $30 to dine out in 2024, per U.S. Food. Say the average is $25 per person this year. That's about equivalent to Musk buying Chipotle Mexican Grill and Texas Roadhouse at their current market capitalizations, with enough money left over to treat the entire populations of New York and California to dinner.
If you face an unexpected emergency expense, you might have to dip into your savings to cover it. The average American family had $62,410 transactions accounts in 2022, the most recent year for which Federal Reserve data is available. Musk could find himself in a bind, too. After all, big money can bring big money problems. But Musk has roughly $129.92 billion worth of Tesla stock he can cash in — or, more likely, borrow against, to avoid paying capital gains tax.

Let's Throw Tesla Into the Mix
Of course, no Elon Musk wealth comparison is complete without a Tesla example. At a starting price of $99,990, the Cyberbeast is a major splurge for the average American. Musk, on the other hand, would have to fund the entire Texas state budget for two years to feel the same pinch, according to The Texas Tribune.

Sticker Mule partners with xAI to deploy Grok to 370 employees and millions of customers
Sticker Mule partners with xAI to deploy Grok to 370 employees and millions of customers AMSTERDAM, N.Y., Aug. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sticker Mule will bring Grok to 370 employees and millions of customers worldwide. Implementation begins in August with Grok being deployed across all departments including engineering, marketing, finance, support and manufacturing. 'Everyone with an email at Sticker Mule is getting Grok, including many front line factory employees,' said Sticker Mule CEO, Anthony Constantino. 'We wanted to be among the first to implement Grok company-wide as we most trust xAI's capabilities.' The company will also begin implementing Grok-powered customer support and utilize Grok as its business brain to enhance decision-making. 'AI is going to beat up pure software businesses, but it will help innovators that sell physical products like Sticker Mule,' Constantino said. 'AI can't manufacture, but it will help innovators, like Sticker Mule, to reach feature parity with incumbent software platforms.' Sticker Mule recently entered the e-commerce market by launching Stores which has already helped sellers earn nearly $200,000 while in beta. Constantino expects AI to accelerate development of Stores and position it to challenge incumbents like Shopify. To supplement Stores, the company is also building a suite of business tools to further help its sellers including Give, an automated online giveaway platform, that was launched recently. Give automates giveaways to help sellers grow their Email and SMS marketing lists. Sticker Mule is also soon to release Notify, a full blown Email and SMS marketing platform that's in beta testing and other tools will follow. 'We believe, with xAI, we can likely double sales with minimal staff growth which will enable us to significantly improve compensation for our team and store sellers,' said Constantino. About Sticker Mule Sticker Mule is the best way to buy and sell custom merchandise, including stickers, t-shirts, magnets, buttons, labels, packaging, keychains, temporary tattoos, and an award-winning hot sauce. Founded in 2010, today we are powered by 1,200+ people in 30+ countries, with factories in New York, South Carolina and Italy.

Morgan Stanley Upgrades PT on NVIDIA from $170 to $200, Keeps Overweight Rating
NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) is one of the top stocks that Grok recommended. On July 30, Morgan Stanley upgraded the price target on NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) from $170 to $200, keeping its Overweight rating on the stock. Joseph Moore from Morgan Stanley reiterated his rating on NVDA with a price increase as the analyst sees further gains in the coming months, driven by the AI strength, as the supply and demand continue to soar. Moore mentioned that the planned Blackwell ramp for both processors and connectivity in the second half of 2025 will fuel the next phase of growth for Nvidia. Moore's bullish call arrives ahead of Nvidia's earnings release scheduled on August 27. Wall Street expects NVDA to post earnings per share of $1 and quarterly revenue of around $45.68 billion. The analyst believes that the supply bottlenecks will continue to set the pace for growth and accelerate the momentum for earnings revisions. NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) is a full-stack computing infrastructure company. The company is leading the AI revolution with accelerated computing to help solve the challenging computational problems. While we acknowledge the potential of NVDA as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.
