Mr Musk is chief executive and the largest shareholder in Tesla, with a reported stake of about 14%.
He completed a $44bn takeover of social network Twitter in October.
According to Forbes, Mr Musk is now worth about $178bn (£152bn).

Tesla has also been hit by recalls, as well as government probes of crashes and its autopilot feature.
