Elon Musk's Net Worth Drops $600 Billion Following SpaceX Stock Decline
SpaceX (NASDAQ:SPCX) experienced a dramatic stock price drop in July 2026, falling from its post-IPO high of $225 to around $113 within weeks. This decline erased approximately half the value since its public debut and left Elon Musk's net worth down roughly $600 billion from its peak above $1.3 trillion during the IPO frenzy. The sharp correction reflects a typical pattern seen in high-profile IPOs, where initial euphoria often gives way to more realistic valuations as market fundamentals take over. The decline has raised concerns about further downward pressure ahead of insider lockup expirations next month and upcoming AI-related IPOs from Anthropic and OpenAI. Despite the significant paper loss, Musk's wealth remains largely tied to fluctuating stock values rather than liquid assets. His net worth is now estimated at around $718.8 billion by Bloomberg’s Billionaires Index.
