Elon Musk breaks world record for 'worst loss of fortune,' Guinness ... (The Washington Post)

Musk, whose purchase of Twitter has put him under global scrutiny, lost his spot as the world's richest person in December when the value of Tesla plunged.

According to [Forbes](https://www.forbes.com/real-time-billionaires/#9f615a43d788), Arnaut and his family are worth $204 billion, while Musk is worth $146.5 billion. Musk has repeatedly attributed this to macroeconomic trends, including the Federal Reserve’s historically [high 2022 interest rates](https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2022/12/14/fed-rate-hike-december/?itid=lk_inline_manual_17). [Investors in Tesla](https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/12/15/elon-musk-tesla-twitter/?itid=lk_inline_manual_7), the electric-car maker Musk runs, have voiced concerns that he is spending so much time trying to right the ship at Twitter that Tesla is suffering. [Bloomberg News](https://www.bloomberg.com/billionaires/profiles/elon-r-musk/?sref=QdZWpdHd#xj4y7vzkg), SpaceX, Musk’s space manufacturing company, accounts for more than 37 percent of his net worth, and shares in the publicly traded Tesla account for about 33 percent. He suggested the company should have “consumer focus related to Tesla shift back to these core attributes of sustainability and technology” to regain value. [note to investors](https://www.barrons.com/articles/goldman-sachs-tesla-stock-twitter-51671023074) in December, Goldman Sachs analyst Mark Delaney wrote that he still believes in the “significant value” of “Tesla’s brand,” though he acknowledged it has “become more polarizing” since Musk purchased Twitter. [$44 billion purchase of Twitter](https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/12/24/elon-musk-twitter-funders/?itid=lk_inline_manual_7), where he has [laid off thousands of workers](https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/11/03/elon-musk-twitter-layoffs/?itid=lk_inline_manual_7) while wading into thorny political debates. 1, [according](https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2023-elon-musk-might-never-be-worlds-richest-person-again/?sref=QdZWpdHd) to Bloomberg News. Meanwhile, Musk has said he will [sleep at Twitter’s San Francisco office](https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-sleeping-at-twitter-hq-until-company-fixed-2022-11?r=US&IR=T) “until the org is fixed.” Still, Musk appeared to tacitly acknowledge investors’ concerns that his investment in Twitter is detracting from the value of his other projects. As Guinness notes, the man who most closely neared Musk’s personal fortune loss, Son, would see his net worth shift “by as much as $5 billion in a day” during the dot-com crash of 2000. [blog post](https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/news/2023/1/elon-musk-suffers-worst-loss-of-fortune-in-history-amid-market-madness-731988) that the previous record was set during the tech-stock crash of 2000, when Japanese billionaire Masayoshi Son, CEO of SoftBank, reportedly lost $58.6 billion.

Elon Musk And Others Warn Of Potential Auto Loan Crisis Ahead (InsideEVs)

There could be a major financial crisis coming to the auto industry thanks to the way auto loans have been handled over the past few years.

The warning came in response to a retweet of a post from Twitter account [@CarDealershipGuy](https://twitter.com/GuyDealership/status/1603794722140688384), a highly followed and well informed account claiming to be an anonymous car dealer group CEO. "That simply isn’t the case in this market.” The account went on to explain this wave of repossessions, saying that many people who took out large loans on vehicles in 2020 and 2021 are now facing significantly declining value on their purchase. Experts have noted the Fed’s monetary policy increasing the cost of car loans, just as inflation reaches its highest point in the last 40 years. “I'm now convinced that there is a massive wave of car repossessions coming in 2023." [Iewek Gnos](https://unsplash.com/photos/wLEXaqnQY08) / Unsplash) [@Musk](https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1603811376681451520) tweeted that a delicate situation with auto loans could “potentially” become “the biggest financial crisis ever,” as detailed in a report from [The Street](https://www.thestreet.com/technology/elon-musk-sounds-the-alarm-over-a-brewing-automobile-crisis).

Furthermore, ET trades at a steep discount to its historical averages as well as peers in its sector, is widely expected to hike its distribution meaningfully this year, is benefiting from an energy export boom for North America in the wake of the war in Ukraine, and is paying down debt aggressively in pursuit of a credit rating upgrade that may be in its near future.

Elon Musk sets world record with worst loss of fortune in history (CBS News)

Musk has lost about $182 billion of his net worth since November 2021, according to Forbes – but that number may be greater.

He sold another $4 billion in stock to close the gap on the deal – even though he said he was "done selling Tesla stock," according to Wedbush analysts. That, combined with the dip in Tesla share price, contributed to the decrease in his net worth. Tesla still remains the most valuable car company in the world, according to Guinness. His net worth shifted as much as $5 billion a day, but Softback bounced back and acquired several U.S. Guinness announced last week that Musk had lost about $182 billion of his net worth since November 2021, citing Forbes.
