The Delaware Supreme Court recently made a major reversal. They reinstated the Tesla stock option plan that was revoked last year, which is valued at $139 billion. This directly caused Elon Musk's net worth to soar to $749 billion last Friday.

It's quite outrageous. The original compensation plan in 2018 was worth $56 billion, and it was dismissed two years ago by a lower court as "ridiculous." But this time, the Supreme Court changed its stance, saying that the revocation decision in 2024 was problematic and unfair to Musk.

This move is essentially the court clearing Musk's name. The net worth figures immediately shot up. Interestingly, such large asset fluctuations still cause quite a stir in the market—after all, the amounts involved are significant.
