However, Musk remains the world’s richest person. According to some financial experts, his recent acquisition of Twitter has impacted Tesla’s stock to suffer.
Musk’s net worth has now dropped by over $74 billion.
Analyst Garrett Nelson, CFRA Research told Forbes, “There are growing concerns that Twitter is turning into more of a distraction for Musk than most anticipated before the deal closing.”
