The Tesla owners' page tweeted saying that Musk is now the richest person in the world.

On his own page, Elon Musk wrote "Btw, critical feedback is always super appreciated, as well as ways to donate money that really make a difference (way harder than it seems)."

As of Thursday, January 7, he took the spot of the richest person in the world from Jeff Bazos, having lept above his net worth by $1.5 billion. 

Musk holds Canadian citizenship and his mother was actually born in Saskatchewan.
