Elon Musk lost his 'trillionaire' status after shares of SpaceX and Tesla fell following SpaceX's IPO, with Forbes listing his net worth at $970.2 billion at Wednesday's market close. SpaceX's record-breaking IPO had briefly vaulted Musk above one trillion dollars, but a sharp sell off erased more than $150 billion from his fortune in a single day and Tesla's declines compounded the drop. The reversal matters because swings in publicly traded equity directly reshape Musk's paper wealth, investor confidence in his companies, and the financial leverage that underpins his control over major technology ventures.
