Elon Musk is still the richest man in the world, but his fortune has shrunk considerably in the last two days. It turns out that the owner of X suffered a loss of around US$ 22 billion, the equivalent of R$ 132 billion, in just 24 hours.
The reason was Tesla's terrible results, which have plummeted on the stock exchange in recent days due to Musk's closeness to far-right politicians. The main losses came from Europe, with a 70% drop in consumer demand for the automaker's cars. Next came China, where the company also suffered a 49% drop in sales.
In the midst of investor uncertainty, Elon gave an interview to the Fox Business channel, but it was equally disastrous, where he confusingly admitted that he is reconciling his position at the Department of Government Efficiency with his duties at Tesla, leaving the market in disbelief at his ability to manage the business.
What is Elon Musk's fortune?
Even with the fall in his fortune, Elon Musk still has a wide lead at the top of the world's richest men, with a net worth of US$ 325 billion, around US$ 110 billion more than second place, Jeff Bezos (founder of Amazon), who has “only” US$ 215 billion. The data comes from Forbes magazine.
