1 in the world again in 2 months
Pay attention to the announcement of the entry-level model on the ‘Investor Day’
Tesla CEO Elon Musk beat Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy (LVMH) Chairman Bernard Arnault and recaptured the world’s richest person in about two months.
As of 4:00 p.m. on the 27th (local time), Tesla stock price rose to $207.63 (about 275,000 won), according to Bloomberg News, Musk’s net worth was tallied at $187.1 billion (247.8 trillion won). It exceeded Chairman Arnault’s $ 185.3 billion (245.4 trillion won).
Most of Musk’s assets are stakes such as Tesla and SpaceX, which peaked at $340 billion (450.3 trillion won) on November 4, 2021. At the time, he competed with Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos for the position of the world’s richest man, and from September 2021 he kept the world’s richest person.
However, Tesla’s stock price plummeted by 65% in the past year and Musk’s wealth plummeted as he sold his stake in Tesla worth $40 billion to finance the acquisition of Twitter. On December 14 last year, Musk’s net worth shrank to $164 billion (217.2 trillion won), and he lost his place as the number one sign to Arnault, who has $171 billion (226.5 trillion won).
However, this year, Tesla’s share price soared thanks to the anticipation of sales growth following the anticipation of overselling and the electric vehicle cut policy. As of the 27th, it was 207.63 dollars (275,000 won), almost doubled compared to last January 3 (108.10 dollars, about 143,000 won), which was the lowest point this year.
Attention is also focusing on whether Musk will announce plans to launch a’half price Tesla’ at the’Investor Day’ event held on the 1st. According to Reuters, Musk plans to unveil Tesla’s long-term blueprint, ‘Master Plan 3’, at the event. The market is paying attention to whether Musk will introduce a low-cost electric car at the level of $ 25,000 (33 million won), predicting that Musk will disclose Tesla’s factory expansion and facility investment plans.
