Elon Musk Loses Trillionaire Status As His Net Worth Drops To $957B by TruthU87(op): 6:15pm On Jun 25

Elon Musk became the first trillionaire in world history when SpaceX went public on June 12, boosting his fortune to an estimated $1.1 trillion. Then as the rocket maker’s stock soared by 40% to its all-time high during the trading day on June 16, Musk’s net worth briefly peaked at a record $1.45 trillion, before SpaceX’s stock sank by 31% through Tuesday. Thanks to that slump, and new restrictions on $116 billion of Musk’s Tesla stock, the world’s richest person is no longer a trillionaire. He’s worth an estimated $962 billion as of the end of the day Tuesday.

Last Tuesday, Musk gave up $7.1 billion of his Tesla stock to cover the exercise price on all of the Tesla stock options he received as part of his 2018 CEO performance award, which was voided by a Delaware judge in 2024 and restored by the Delaware Supreme Court in 2025. After the latter ruling, Tesla and Musk entered into a new agreement in April that turned Musk’s options into restricted stock upon exercise that he will forfeit unless he remains at Tesla through January 2028 as CEO or “an executive officer responsible for the Company’s product development or operations.”

I don't think Elon gives a rat's ass about Trillionaire status. All he needs if he cared, is to sell X (Twitter) and balance up.

Only newbies didn’t know that spaceX stock was a pump and dump!

Elon is not a scientist or Engineer but the best marketer the world has ever seen. The moment you know that fact and current world trends, you start to have an idea about his game plan.

My forecast, he will go lower on paper and fools will pay the price. But on real figures, he is already a trillionaire

That, to me is a very little and inconsequential setback. He'll recover and get back up before the year ones out.

He will loose more. His companies are overvalued. While Tesla is the world's leading EV producer, it doesn't even rank among the top 10 vehicle manufacturers in the world. The company currently has a market cap of 200 billion dollars.

I understand that SpaceX has huge potentials. That intrinsic value is what drives its market worth into trillions but investors are begining to see into the hype.

Mind you, Elon still hasn't paid the banks for the money he borrowed to buy twitter. He doesn't have it. He and his companies are coasting on vibes. The moment he dares sell any stock, the share price of X will collapse. He knows this and that's why he quickly forced himself to associate with Donald Trump.

Funny. X is a part of his net worth. Selling it MAY raise cash for him but won't increase his net worth.

What's this one saying? Do you think his net worth is determined solely by the cash he has? Isn't X part of his net worth? If X is valued at $100 billion in the assessment of his wealth, what difference would it make even if he convert it into cash by selling it?

The word “con-man” is a perfect definition of Musk. I always told my bro Musk is a cheat, you can't hit such landmark without cheats.
