Musk’s losing streak began on Wednesday, as at the end of the day he had lost around $6.5 billion. The mogul stayed at number three for several hours until this morning, when fluctuations in the stock market helped him recover and return to the position he held.
However, today’s session was not in its favor, as Tesla shares fell close to 5%. Now, his net worth is $150.9 billion, while last February 17 was $191 billion.
Although this could be normal behavior for the stock market and it is very possible that it will rebound in the near future, for now he will have to give the crown to another billionaire.
