Are either in even the same ballpark as the SoftBank guy? Didn’t he light something like $40b on fire one year?


It depends on how we're counting, but Musk is down over $100 billion in the last year: https://www.cnn.com/2022/12/07/business/elon-musk-wealth/ind...


Actually I was wrong, it was 70 billion, and it was 22 years ago:

As of December 2022, Son ranks 67th on the Forbes list of The World's Billionaires 2022,[10] despite having the distinction of losing the most money in history (approximately $70bn during the dot com crash of 2000).[11]

That’s $121b inflation adjusted


Sounds like Elon has one week to become a record-holder.
