Elon Musk’s net worth sinks to 2-year low: Report
Live MintElon Musk’s fortune continues to take a beating a week after he lost his spot as the world’s richest person. As reported by Bloomberg, Musk's net worth has tumbled $7.7 billion on Tuesday after Tesla Inc. shares had their steepest one-day loss since October. Shares of Tesla Inc fell nearly 6 percent on Tuesday after a string of brokerages cut their price targets on the electric-vehicle maker's stock, citing the risk from Elon Musk's Twitter distraction. Analysts told Reuters that investors are worried that Musk may need to sell shares further to fund Twitter and sentiment around the acquisition of the social media firm could hurt the EV maker's brand. Last week, Musk sold another $3.58 billion worth of Tesla Inc. shares, bringing the total amount he’s offloaded since late last year to almost $40 billion.
