Elon Musk has experienced a significant financial and reputational downturn during the first 100 days of President Trump’s second term. His net worth has decreased by over $150 billion, dropping from nearly $480 billion to approximately $335 billion, primarily due to a sharp decline in Tesla’s stock value .Business Insider
Tesla’s challenges include a 13% year-over-year drop in vehicle deliveries and a 20% decrease in auto revenue. The average price of used Tesla vehicles has fallen by 10%, with the Cybertruck experiencing a 50% price decline.
