How the number was reached

Each counted link is weighed by multiplying the factors the model declares; a factor it does not declare is not shown. Every factor name below links to what that number means.

Under neighbouring settings of the same model: 0.9872 to 0.9997, a spread of 0.0125.

Half-even rounding, six places for weights and four for the probability. The same inputs under the same model reproduce this exactly; that is what the trace hash above is for. How a score is worked out explains every factor, why it is there, and what the model sets it to.

The phrase appears as an honorific in a laudatory aside, beside the plainly rhetorical 'most productive entrepreneur of all time'. It carries no valuation, date or source, so it shows the speaker used the label rather than establishing the status.
CNBC reported on 12 June 2026 that Musk became the world's first trillionaire as SpaceX began trading.

The claim is time-sensitive: Reuters documents the June 2026 milestone, while later valuation changes can move the estimate below one trillion.

None.

Qualifications

Forbes reported on 24 June 2026 that Musk had fallen back below a $1 trillion net worth.

From Elon Musk Just Lost His Trillionaire Status Read 2026-09-20 Relevance DIRECT Steps 0 Counted

Found while searching for support and recorded because it counts against the present-tense reading: the status lapsed twelve days later when SpaceX stock fell, and was regained on 29 June. 'First to reach a trillion' is settled history; 'is a trillionaire' tracks the share price, so the claim is date-sensitive.

None.

Used as a premise in

None.

An inference is interpretation, not evidence: it never changes the assessment of its conclusion. Each premise is a claim with its own evidence.

Threads

None. Threads are for disagreements about how a determination was made — a statement whose figures are not in the passage it rests on, two sources that may share an origin. Something about the world belongs in the evidence above.

Claim edges

None. Edges are stored and displayed; v0.1 does not propagate probability across them.
