The decline coincided with a wider tech sector wipe‑out, sending both companies’ shares sharply lower. As a result, Musk’s net worth fell to a level $113 billion lower than a week earlier, according to multiple reports.
TradingView quantified the $456 billion market‑value erosion, while 24/7 Wall St. and Yahoo Finance both reported the near‑$80 billion hit to Musk’s wealth in the same trading session. Fortune framed the event with the Japanese proverb “the nail that sticks out gets hammered first” and noted the cumulative $113 billion reduction across Musk’s holdings.
The reported figures vary because some outlets concentrate on the immediate daily swing, while others aggregate broader declines and express them in different currencies.
