Elon Musk's net worth has surged to $749 billion following the Delaware Supreme Court's decision to restore a controversial pay package worth $139 billion that had been voided by a lower court last year.

According to Entrepreneur, the court ruled that the previous decision was improper and inequitable to Musk, allowing him to reclaim this staggering sum. Earlier this month, Musk became the first person to surpass $600 billion in net worth, now standing nearly $500 billion ahead of the world's second-richest person, Larry Page.

Meanwhile, Musk has been embroiled in controversy, recently calling Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther a traitor to America in response to Ginther's comments regarding ICE operations in the city. Musk's remarks, made in a social media post, drew rebuke from city officials, who emphasized their focus on community safety and humanity amidst the ongoing immigration debate, as reported by Cleveland.com.
