How Elon Musk liked Nigerian man's post
It all started when Dr Farouk replied to one of Elon Musk’s witty posts on X. The Tesla and SpaceX boss had clapped back at critics in a hilarious thread, replying with a simple but funny correction: “*trillioniare”.
Dr Farouk, clearly amused, dropped a comment praising Musk’s sense of humour:
“Elon Musk is just very funny. He has to come correct them 😂😂”
Elon Musk apparently saw the comment and hit the like button. This was a moment that turned an ordinary Monday into a memorable one for the Nigerian dentist.

Elon Musk rewrites billionaire history
Earlier, Legit.ng had reported that Elon Musk’s net worth continues to increase at an unprecedented pace, bringing him closer to being worth $1 trillion.
New data shows he is now nearly $500 billion richer than Google co-founder Larry Page, the world’s second-richest man.
The surge was driven by SpaceX’s rising valuation, speculation about a possible public offering, and the re-granting of Tesla stock options.
