Elon Musk Net Worth Tumbles With Bitcoin Value

The now second richest man in the world, Elon Musk, has experienced a decline in his total net worth following a comment he made that Bitcoin value is too high and too fast.

Elon Musk’s net worth plunged by $15.2 billion in the last 24 hours to N183 billion, according to the latest data from Bloomberg.

The former world’s richest man has grown his net worth by $13.6 billion in 2021 alone. This represents an over 61 percent decline from over $20 billion gain posted last week.

In early February, the value of Tesla and Bitcoin rose substantially immediately Tesla announced it invested $1.5 billion in Bitcoin.

Cryptocurrency-focused investors jumped on Tesla stocks because of its exposure to Bitcoin, these same investors have started dumping the company’s stocks following Musk’s comments.

Tesla stocks dropped by $66.80 or 8.55 percent to $714.50 per share.

While Bitcoin valued plunged by over 17 percent from $58,000 to $47,226.88 with market value declining from $1 trillion to $880.11 billion.
