Elon Musk, The First Person Ever To Lose 200 Billion Dollars!!

Elon Musk, one of the world’s richest men, became the fastest loser in 2022. He became the only person in history to ever lose $200 billion in wealth after Tesla shares dropped. Which resulted in his total wealth falling to $137 billion according to the Bloomberg Billionaire Index.

Elon Musk’s wealth is attached to Tesla, whose stock plunged 65% in 2022. It resulted in weakening demand due to competition from other established automakers. He became the only person in history to experience a direct $200 billion-dollar loss from his net worth. He has to sell lots of shares in order to cover his Twitter purchase.

Even if today’s Tesla shares are down with their business strategies, it can easily beat the competition in the near future & its own competition as well. In his current position, this loss of money will not be a problem for Elon Musk.
