Elon Musk predicts world's biggest company may hit $100 trillion valuation in 10 years, netizens speculate

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has predicted that the valuation of the world's largest company could reach as much as $100 trillion within the next decade. If such a projection were to materialise, it would imply a market capitalisation more than 20 times larger than Nvidia's current valuation of around $4.6 trillion.

Jensen Huang-led chipmaker Nvidia currently holds the position of the most valuable company globally, with its growth driven by demand for its high-performance chips, which has become critical to the rapid expansion of Artificial Intelligence technologies across industries.

Musk made the remarks in response to an ARK Invest chart, which showed a company's market cap surpassing $3.75 trillion in 2025. The executive who posted the chart further posed a question, asking “How valuable will the biggest company be in 10 years?”, prompting speculations.

The Tesla CEO responded, saying ‘Maybe as high as $100T’, without specifying which company he was referring to, leaving the prediction open to interpretation for netizens.

One user said, “Hmm… I think you’re referring to SpaceX?”

Another person made a similar prediction, stating, “$100T in 10 years? I guess Elon is referring to Tesla. SpaceX would take 15-20 years. Tesla has a chance because of Optimus.”

An X user further asked Musk, “Which company do you think will reach a $100 trillion market cap first? Tesla, SpaceX, Nvidia, or Google?”

“$100T incoming with Optimus leading the charge! Tesla's humanoid robots will redefine abundance for humanity,” another user commented.

A person also noted its downsides, stating, “A company of that size would raise troubling questions: its CEO would preside over an incredibly powerful & influential entity. Societies & governments would inevitably become uncomfortable with so much power in the hands of unelected leaders of a private organization.”

He also expects Tesla to attain a higher market capitalization than the top five companies combined. Currently, the five largest companies in the world are Apple, Nvidia, Microsoft, Amazon, and Alphabet, which have a combined value of over $18 trillion, the report said.

Meanwhile, Reuters reported on a possible SpaceX IPO in 2026 too, saying that Musk's space company is looking to raise more than $25 billion. The move could boost the rocket-maker's valuation to more than $1 trillion.
