Musk lost $27 billion in a single day, but still remains the world's richest man

According to the real-time rich list of Forbes, Elon Musk recently experienced the darkest day in his personal wealth history, with his net worth shrinking by about $27 billion in one day. Despite the huge asset withdrawal, Musk still ranks as the world's richest man, and the latest estimated net worth is still as high as $388 billion.

The founder of Tesla and SpaceX has frequently appeared in global financial headlines in recent years, and his wealth is closely related to market performance. The shrinkage of assets this time is mainly attributed to the sharp drop in Tesla's stock price. As an important pillar of Musk's personal wealth, Tesla's fluctuations are directly reflected in its net worth.

However, even with the huge evaporation, Musk's wealth is still far ahead of other rich people. The second place is Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, whose net worth is $236.3 billion, and there is still a gap of more than $150 billion between him and Musk. In contrast, the net worth of the current US President Donald Trump is $5.4 billion, ranking 689th on the Forbes Global Billionaires List.

It is worth noting that Musk has recently increased his investment in artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency, and his xAI valuation has exceeded $100 billion. At the same time, he continues to integrate AI and payment services on the X platform to promote a wider range of technology layout. Despite the sharp fluctuations in personal wealth in the short term, Musk's influence on technology and capital markets cannot be underestimated.

Market analysts pointed out that the changes in the wealth of the super-rich themselves also reflect the sharp fluctuations in the valuation of current high-tech companies. In the future economic and financial changes, Musk's movements will continue to be the focus of global investors.
