Elon Musk loses trillionaire status as SpaceX share price falls

techJul 3, 202625408

Elon Musk lost his trillionaire status Wednesday after SpaceX shares fell 6.2 percent and cut his net worth by $59 billion to $994.1 billion, Forbes reports. Musk holds 4.8 billion SpaceX shares and 350 million stock options with an $8.40 exercise price, and the decline reversed a nearly 12 percent gain across the prior three trading sessions. Musk’s net worth briefly peaked at $1.45 trillion a week after SpaceX’s IPO, a rally that has since erased more than $300 billion of his wealth. Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives began coverage of SpaceX, calling it “one of the most differentiated assets within the tech market” and setting a $190 price target. Forbes notes Forbes removed $116 billion of Musk’s restricted Tesla stock last week after Tesla replaced Musk’s 2018 CEO performance award with a new award that vests only if he remains in a senior leadership role through January 2028. Mark Zuckerberg’s net worth rose $19.1 billion to $212.6 billion as Meta shares jumped more than 10 percent following a Bloomberg report about Meta building cloud AI infrastructure.

The Elon Musk business turducken continues to grow. He’s hid the failing Twitter/X business in xAI, bundled the unprofitable xAI into SpaceX and now it looks like the next step is to shove SpaceX and Tesla together into a super meme stock. Really annoyed my 401(K) will have this nonsense in it.
