## Resource

Elon Musk has become the world's first trillionaire after SpaceX shares soared following the company's stock market debut in New York. Andrew Peach examines what's driving the company's remarkable rise from its Starlink satellite business to the enduring appeal of the Musk brand. Also on the programme, Switzerland is preparing to vote on proposals to limit population growth. But could restricting migration come at a cost to the country's economy? And we'll assess the legacy of one of the art world's biggest names, as David Hockney dies aged 89, and ask what continues to make his work so sought after and valuable.
