  • Elon Musk has recently returned to the coveted top spot as the richest man in the world.

    The Telsa mogul has had a busy year in the eye of the media following his recent take over Twitter and high-profile efforts to further SpaceX’s achievements in the far reaches of Earth’s atmosphere.

    He’s reached a massive net worth of $192billion (154bn) according to Bloomberg Billionaires tally, leapfrogging LVMH CEO Bernard Arnault.

    The owner of around 13% of Tesla’s lauded stock, Musk caused a dip in his crazy cash cache when he bought Twitter last year.

    While no stranger to great big stacks of cash, Musk is also no stranger to great big Twitter spats, great big headlines and controversies.

    A man who is rarely out of the press for long, Musk’s return to the top spot of the global rich list is a familiar sight after years of rolling with the big boys.

    With that in mind, take a look at some of the weirdest and wildest moments in the maverick’s career.
