Lots of companies are on Elon’s Wild Ride

Elon Musk is in the news for a lot of different big numbers recently. Here are a few:

A Delaware judge again struck down Musk’s record Tesla pay package, which would currently be worth about $101.5 billion.
His rocket and satellite startup SpaceX is discussing a tender offer that would value the company at around $350 billion, making it by far the most valuable startup in the world.
Musk is asking a court to stop OpenAI from converting to a for-profit, whose valuation would have been about $157 billion.
