Elon Musk loses $113B as Tesla and SpaceX shares tumble post-midterms

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Elon Musk's net worth experienced a significant decline of approximately $113 billion in a two-day period following the midterm elections. This drop was primarily attributed to a sell-off in Tesla and SpaceX shares, which fell by 3.3% and 3.8% respectively. Investors are concerned that the new Democratic-controlled Congress may increase scrutiny on Musk's companies due to his political donations and past actions, potentially impacting federal contracts and business operations.
