Uničenje bogastva Elona Muska je postalo zgodovinsko.
The CEO of Tesla, SpaceX and Twitter is worth $137 billion, according to the Bloomberg indeks Bloomberg, good enough for second place on the list of the world’s richest behind LVMH Chairman Bernard Arnault. But at its peak in November 2021, Musk’s net worth was $340 billion.
That makes Musk the first person ever to lose $200 billion in wealth, Bloomberg je poročal prejšnji teden.
The bulk of Musk’s wealth is tied up in Tesla, whose delnice so leta 65 padle za 2022 %. Demand for Teslas weakened as competition in electric vehicles from established automakers surged last year. The company missed its growth targets and scaled back production in China. Its fourth-quarter deliveries, napovedal ponedeljek, missed Wall Street’s estimates.
Dokazi o upadu zanimanja kupcev avtomobilov za Tesle so postali očitni prejšnji mesec, potem ko je podjetje objavilo redko prodajo v želji po čiščenju zalog. Tesla je ponudila dva popusta za kupce, ki bodo prevzeli vozilo pred koncem leta, sprva je ponudila popust v višini 3,750 $, nato pa podvojila rabat na 7,500 $, pri čemer sta ostala dva tedna do leta 2022.
Investors were rattled by the rebates, sending the stock plunging 37% in December.
Critics have long questioned whether Tesla was ever worth the trillion-dollar valuation it had at the start of 2022. At its peak, Tesla was worth more than the 12 largest automakers on the planet combined, despite having a fraction of their sales. Tesla ended the year worth $386 billion — still much larger than its automaker rivals but far smaller than the tech titans — Apple, Microsoft, Google and Amazon — with which it was being compared a year ago.
Musk’s $44 billion purchase of Twitter hasn’t helped Tesla’s stock or Musk’s personal wealth, either. Musk, Tesla’s largest shareholder, has sold $23 billion worth of Tesla shares since his interest in Twitter became public in April.
Njegovo nenehno tvitanje in vse bolj nepredvidljivo vedenje, zlasti po prevzemu položaja izvršnega direktorja pri Twitterju, je razjezilo vlagatelje Tesle, ki želijo, da Musk posveti več pozornosti njegovemu bistveno večjemu in vrednejšemu podjetju. Musk se je branil pred kritiki in rekel, da ni zamudil večjega srečanja Tesle, odkar je prevzel odgovornost za Twitter.
Tesline delnice se lahko povrnejo in Musk bi lahko znova postal najbogatejša oseba na svetu. Toda Muskov sloves genija je leta 2022 utrpel resno škodo – skoraj toliko kot njegovo osebno bogastvo.
