Even with $850 billion to his name, Elon Musk admits ‘money can’t buy happiness.’ But billionaire Mark Cuban says it’s not so simple

Elon Musk’s net worth surged to $852 billion this week—a record high set into motion by the merger of two of his companies, SpaceX and xAI, ahead of a highly anticipated IPO later this year. But even with more wealth to his name than anyone in history, Musk doesn’t seem convinced that the number in his bank account translates into personal fulfillment. 

“Whoever said ‘money can’t buy happiness’ really knew what they were talking about,” Musk wrote this week on X, a post that’s garnered over 96 million views.
