Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, is no longer the wealthiest man in the world. At Monday’s end, according to Forbes, he turned over that position to Bernard Arnault, chairman, and CEO of LVMH.
The value of Tesla shares has more than halved this year, partly because of a sell-off that escalated after Musk’s $44 billion purchase of Twitter. Shares ended the day down nearly 6.3%.
The rapid surge in Tesla’s share price, which soared more than 1,000% in two years, was the driving force behind Musk’s riches, mostly related to the company’s stock.
