Tesla

Tesla’s growing EV narrative has helped the company reach new heights. Recently, the firm even gained the prestigious S&P 500. And, with that, Elon Musk has also entered the risk of being one of the richest people in the world.

Moreover, they are also into home, wearables, and accessories, markets that generated around $12.9 billion in revenue recently.

The future of big tech
