  • It is almost like our glorious leader does not know what he is doing.

    • The "Magnificent Seven" cohort — once the stars of this bull market — led the declines Monday as investors dumped the group for perceived safer plays. Tesla tumbled 13%, heading for its worst day since 2020

      Having been first listed on the Forbes Billionaires List in 2012,[4] around 75% of Musk's wealth was derived from Tesla stock in November 2020

      In terms of out-of-pocket costs for the Trump presidency, Musk is paying considerably more in terms of stock losses than in the ~$300 million he donated to the campaign.

      As shares of Tesla Inc. lose ground, the company's chairman and presidential adviser Elon Musk is losing big.

      Forbes, which maintains a real-time billionaire wealth tracking tool, estimates the 53-year-old was worth $342.4 billion as of the close of business Thursday, down a whopping $121.2 billion from its all-time high of $464 billion, set Dec. 17. He's still the richest person in the world, however.

      That's not just due to Trump being re-elected and Musk's very public role there, but it sure doesn't help.

    • They make money when stocks go down when they short them.

      So pretty sure he knows what he is doing.
