Elon Musk's fortune plummets over $600B amid SpaceX and Tesla stock rout

Elon Musk's net worth has significantly decreased, falling to $684 billion from a peak of $1.33 trillion in mid-June. This decline is largely attributed to a sharp drop in SpaceX's stock price following its recent IPO, with shares tumbling 46% amid increased short interest and upcoming insider share unlocks. Additionally, Tesla's stock has fallen 17% after reporting a cash-negative quarter and announcing substantial capital expenditures for new products like Optimus robots and Cybercabs. AI
