Elon Musk might become the first ever trillionaire tomorrow.
He has inspired devotees, exhilarated investors, vexed skeptics, enraged those calling for higher taxes on the rich.
Yet the making of the first 13-figure fortune has always been inevitable. forbes.com/sites/chasewithor…

Trump's new FTC pick has advocated for "country of origin" disclosure rules for over a year, so we have a good idea of what he'd push for if confirmed.
David MacNeil would be the 12th known billionaire in Trump's admin.
My profile on MacNeil for @Forbes:

The world added roughly 1 new billionaire per day in 2025.
We are, now more than ever, in our billionaire era. There are more of them than ever and they’re richer than ever.
My latest @Forbes story breaks down the math.

Ever wonder what a billionaire’s treehouse would look like? Here’s a tour of @raisingcanes founder @ToddGraves’ three-level Baton Rouge tree-home, complete with an Ewok-style swinging bridge, a disco ball and even a bathroom. My latest for @Forbes.

The exact lineup of investors taking control of TikTok U.S. is still under wraps, but the network of players is in some cases nearly half a century in the making.
More to come but for now, inside their ties to Trump and each other for @Forbes:

.@ToddGraves, our founder, is currently featured in @Forbes! His story is a reminder that passion and perseverance can create a huge impact.

This was the most fun I’ve had reporting a story. Todd graciously showed me around Baton Rouge and told me the wild story of how he became a chicken finger billionaire.
From a bad college grade to a chicken claw blood pact to hitchhiking across the Alaskan tundra.
Todd did whatever it took to make his @raisingcanes dream happen. Now it’s one of America’s hottest fast-food chains and Todd is worth $22 billion, all from chicken fingers and Cane’s Sauce. Lots of great lessons in here!

1/ New @Forbes magazine cover story—from @RashiShrivast18 and me—is our take on #CoreWeave, one of the biggest beneficiaries of the #AI boom. It's a fascinating firm built on bold bets, complex risk & no shortage of luck. Would love to hear what you think (link in comment):
