Jakarta- Last year, Elon Musk was the richest man of all time with a fortune of over USD 300 billion. However, this year, his wealth has decreased drastically, up to thousands of trillions.
According to Forbes calculations, Elon Musk's wealth this year has fallen by more than USD 100 billion or in the range of Rp. 1,500 trillion. As a percentage, 35% of his wealth disappeared to now become USD 209.4 billion.
Even though a lot of his wealth has disappeared, the captain of SpaceX and Tesla is still the richest man in the world, but of course if the downward trend continues, he could lose his status. In October alone, his fortune was cut by USD 28 billion.
So, what caused the man born in South Africa to lose so much wealth? As quoted by detikINET from Futurism, Thursday (27/10/2022) there are several factors, for example the decline in Tesla's stock price, investors saving money for fear of recession and so on.
It's also possible that investors are worried that Elon Musk will be caught off guard by buying Twitter. Had wanted to resign, Elon Musk agreed to buy Twitter at a price according to the offer of USD 44 billion. In fact, he just came to Twitter's headquarters in San Francisco.
One of Elon Musk's biggest obstacles to locking the deal is holding on to the financing he promised about six months ago. A group of banks, including Morgan Stanley and Bank of America, earlier this year agreed to lend $12.5 billion of the money Musk needs to buy Twitter and make it private.
Equity investors, including Oracle Corp co-founder Larry Ellison and Saudi Arabia's Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, will pour $7.1 billion into Elon Musk.

Jakarta- Tahun silam, Elon Musk adalah manusia terkaya sepanjang masa dengan kekayaan melesat di atas USD 300 miliar. Akan tetapi tahun ini, hartanya itu menurun sangat drastis, hingga ribuan triliun.
Menurut perhitungan Forbes, kekayaan Elon Musk tahun ini sudah anjlok lebih dari USD 100 miliar atau di kisaran Rp 1.500 triliun. Secara persentase, 35% kekayaannya lenyap hingga kini menjadi USD 209,4 miliar.
Walau banyak hartanya amblas, nakhoda SpaceX dan Tesla ini masih manusia paling kaya di dunia, akan tetapi tentu jika tren penurunan itu berlanjut, dia bisa kehilangan statusnya. Pada Oktober ini saja, kekayaannya terpangkas USD 28 miliar.
Jadi, apa penyebab pria kelahiran Afrika Selatan itu kehilangan begitu banyak harta? Seperti dikutip detikINET dari Futurism, Kamis (27/10/2022) ada beberapa faktor, misalnya turunnya harga saham Tesla, investor menyimpan uang karena takut terhadap resesi dan lain sebagainya.
Mungkin juga investor cemas Elon Musk akan tersita perhatiannya dengan pembelian Twitter. Sempat mau mundur, Elon Musk setuju membeli Twitter dengan harga sesuai penawaran yakni USD 44 miliar. Bahkan baru saja dia datang ke kantor pusat Twitter di San Francisco.
Salah satu hambatan terbesar Elon Musk Musk untuk mengunci kesepakatan adalah mempertahankan pembiayaan yang dijanjikan sekitar enam bulan lalu. Sekelompok bank, termasuk Morgan Stanley dan Bank of America, awal tahun ini setuju meminjamkan USD 12,5 miliar dari uang yang dibutuhkan Musk untuk membeli Twitter dan menjadikannya privat.
Investor ekuitas, termasuk co-founder Oracle Corp Larry Ellison dan Pangeran Arab Saudi, Alwaleed bin Talal, akan mengucurkan USD 7,1 miliar untuk Elon Musk.
