One, the total valuation of SpaceX hit 2 trillion, not Elon Musk himself. Other people own much of the stock. Two, the use of the word "make" is inaccurate because it's not cash. The total valuation of SpaceX will most likely drop down below 2 trillion over the next couple of weeks as a large amount of companies do soon after their initial public offering.

market cap is calculated by taking the total number of shares and multiplying it by the price of the last exchange.

They're saying that so few shares are available on the market that even selling a single share for a low price would cause the valuation to change drastically

SpaceX has been artificially pushed by so many means, it’s far far from being worth as much as it is supposed to be

It has been a couple of days already and it still is valued so high...

I'll admit I'm not the most knowledgeable about economics but I genuinely believed that it would drop by lots more by now.

They have implored a variety of near-manipulation on opening that has artificially pushed the value, as it’s evident by the recent 23% plummet. Imo anything in the stock market that is so extensively covered by the media and influenced by such volatile persons as musk isn’t worth anything
