Elon Musk is no longer considered the richest person in the world after his Tesla stock plummeted.
Musk, 51, lost his pole position on Tuesday to the Louis Vuitton group chief Bernard Arnault after an extended slump in the value of Tesla shares, which has cost him more than $100billion this year, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
Arnault, 73, is the chairman and CEO of LVMH - the luxury goods conglomerate that parents brands such as Dior, Tiffany and Bulgari - and is now worth $170.6billion.
Musk's worth now sits at $163.1billion, according to the Bloomberg Index.

Surely that’s pretty tough for Musk to take.

Batteries sold separately cars are a toy for the unrealistic, and a virtue signal for the supercilious. He should invest in compact nuclear reactors---or fusion. LOL

Selling perfumes, jewelry and handbags can make one very rich but it's not rocket science.
What Musk does, is. I doubt he cares. Besides he's having too much fun exposing Twitter's innards.

Personally, if it was me? I can live with that. In fact, if I was 10 billion dollars less richer, I still can live with that. My humongous problem will be, how quickly can I spend that kind of money before I kick the bucket?

herein lies the great unraveling of Dem/Socialist Wealthtax schemes...
IF they were in place, Govt would now owe Musk a tax refund on the "loss" of $100Billion

Tesla and all electric cars are doomed in the long run. Musk needs to diversify

Never heard of Bernard Arnault, bet almost everyone in the world has heard of Elon Musk.

I'm not a fan of Elon Musk, but they're out to destroy him. If he's not gaming us, I hope he's ready.

Oh no! The richest man is French and his company is headquartered in Paris. How can that be? We all know that France is a socialist hell hole, just like all European countries.

Notice that most of the EVs have extreme acceleration. In short, they are hotrods. I surmise that the manufacturers do this to attract buyers. The EVs have so many problems with range and charging that getting the general public interested in buying one is going to be hard. Currently they only buy them because of the fad and the misinformation concerning "advantages" of the technology. So they're made as hotrods to attract the fast car enthusiasts. But how many of those are there? Not enough to sustain the industry. And once the fad of owning an EV fades because of the obvious dis-advantage of electric over gasoline and the hotrod-ers are sated, there will be little future left for EVs. I predict in 5 years EVs are dead. Most will be sitting as junk heaps in people drive ways and back yards.
