The richest man on the planet has launched the world's biggest IPO ever. After the pricing of the SpaceX IPO was finalized yesterday, shares of the rocket-and-AI giant were traded on the NASDAQ for the first time today.

Shares opened approximately 11% higher on the first day of trading, touching $150. These ingredients make for the biggest IPO of all time. And for the greatest wealth in the hands of a single person: Elon Musk is, on paper at least, the first trillionaire in world history.
