Elon Musk Net Worth Down $64 Billion In 2025 — But Tesla CEO Still Richer Than Value Of Ford, General Motors, Stellantis, Toyota Combined
The world's richest billionaire has taken a hit to his wealth in 2025. Even after a year-to-date decline for Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) stock, Elon Musk is still significantly ahead of who is in second place and worth more than several of his automotive rivals combined.
What Happened: Tesla CEO Elon Musk is the world's richest person and gets the majority of his net worth from ownership stakes in the electric vehicle company, SpaceX, xAI and other ventures.
Musk currently ranks first as the world's richest with a wealth of $369 billion according to Bloomberg.
Trending: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing —
This is significantly ahead of the billionaire in second place, Mark Zuckerberg, who is worth an estimated $245 billion.
What's also interesting is that if you look at Musk's wealth, it's worth more than several of the largest automotive companies combined.
Take this list, for example:
Stellantis NV (NYSE:STLA): $29.7 billion
Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F): $41.9 billion
General Motors Company (NYSE:GM): $47.4 billion
Toyota Motor Corporation (NYSE:TM): $238.2 billion
Add it up and it's a value of $357.2 billion. That means Musk is worth more than these four automotive companies combined, with $11.8 billion left over.Why It's Important: Musk and Tesla have dominated the electric vehicle market in the U.S. and globally.
Tesla is worth over $1 trillion, even with recent struggles with delivery figures and demand.
A recent public feud between Musk and President Donald Trump sent shares of Tesla down significantly, marking the company's biggest one-day market capitalization loss of $152 billion.
That drop also sent the wealth of Musk from $368 billion on June 4 to $335 billion on June 5.
Tesla stock and Musk's wealth have rebounded from that feud-related sell-off.
Tesla stock remains down 15.9% year-to-date.
Musk's wealth has taken a hit in 2025 with a $63.5 billion drop in his net worth over the year. This comes with Tesla stock falling, while other ventures of his such as Neuralink, xAI and SpaceX are seeing higher valuations.
Musk became the first person to have a net worth of more than $400 billion in late 2024 and he could be headed back to that figure if Tesla stock can rally on recent robotaxi news and turn positive on the year.

1 Beaten-Down Stock Down 99% That's Still Not Worth Buying
Canopy Growth has lost almost all of its market value in the past five years. The company's prospects remain dim, and its financial results are unimpressive. There's hardly any good reason to expect the stock to recover. 10 stocks we like better than Canopy Growth › Canopy Growth (NASDAQ: CGC) emerged as a leader in the cannabis industry when Canada legalized recreational, adult use of the substance in 2018. Investors had high hopes for the company and the rest of the market but, unfortunately, these hopes have now evaporated. Over the past five years, Canopy Growth has lost 99% of its value, and the company's shares now trade for under $2 apiece. Yet the stock remains unattractive. Here's why. Canopy Growth has a deep footprint in the Canadian cannabis market, encompassing both recreational and medical sectors, but the company's business extends far beyond this neighbor to the north. The pot grower has significant international operations, notably through Storz & Bickel, a subsidiary that manufactures and markets vape devices in various countries. Canopy Growth's suite of products spans dried flower, vapes, pre-rolls, oils, cannabis-infused drinks, and more. Despite having a significant worldwide footprint and a vast portfolio, the company has faced substantial headwinds. The cannabis market remains severely regulated, even in Canada, where laws are more lax. Never mind in other countries like the U.S., where the substance remains illegal at the federal level. Further, the perception that the pot market would become far more lucrative following Canada's decision to legalize weed created a bit of a gold rush, leading to stiff competition and oversupply problems in the market. Although Canopy Growth remained one of the more notable players throughout all this, that's not saying much, considering how poorly the industry has performed over the past five years. Meanwhile, the company's financial results remain horrendous. On May 30, Canopy Growth reported its financial results for the fourth quarter of its fiscal year 2025, ending on March 31. Though the company's cannabis revenue in Canada increased by 4% year over year, Canopy Growth's net revenue was 65 million Canadian dollars, down 11%, compared to the year-ago period. The pot grower's performance in international markets negatively impacted its overall performance. Elsewhere, Canopy Growth remains deeply unprofitable. Its net loss per share for the period was CA$1.43, much worse than the CA$1.03 loss per share it reported in the year-ago period. Canopy Growth tried to put a positive spin on its financial results. It pointed to its decreasing total debt by 49% during its fiscal year 2025. The pot grower continues to try to cut costs and improve profitability. Management also expects to reach positive adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) in "the near term" and to become free-cash-flow positive "over time." Bulls could point to potential long-term opportunities, as Canopy Growth has a presence in the U.S. cannabis market. If the substance does become legal at the federal level in the country, it could hit the ground running and become a leader in what would be the largest marijuana market in the world. However, investors shouldn't fall for it. Canopy Growth's goal to reach positive adjusted EBITDA in the "near term" is just hopeful enough and vague enough to be materially meaningless for the purposes of rendering its prospects more attractive. Even if it does achieve that goal, that still wouldn't make it profitable on an adjusted basis, let alone on a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis. Maybe that wouldn't be a massive issue if Canopy Growth was growing its revenue at a good clip. Plenty of companies that are reporting losses on the bottom line can be attractive investments, but there's little else going in Canopy Growth's favor to justify buying the stock right now. No one can predict when or whether pot will become legal at the federal level in the U.S. Even if it does, that might not solve the company's issues, the same way regulatory progress in Canada didn't lead to automatic success. In short, even if its stock is trading below $2 per share, Canopy Growth doesn't look like an attractive stock to buy. Investors should steer clear of the company.

Trump's Bill Would End EV Subsidies: Is Rivian in Trouble?
Rivian is prepared to grow sales significantly regardless of tax incentives. But eliminating tax incentives could have an odd effect on Rivian's competitiveness. 10 stocks we like better than Rivian Automotive › Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ: RIVN) has a very promising future. Starting in early 2026, management expects to start production of three new affordable electric vehicles (EVs). Making affordable EVs priced under $50,000 is a huge milestone for an automaker. When Tesla released its affordable Model Y and Model 3 vehicles, sales boomed. Today, those two vehicles account for more than 90% of Tesla's auto sales. Some recent news, however, could be a giant blow to Rivian's growth plans. President Donald Trump's new bill proposes cutting federal EV tax credits, which would make electric vehicles $4,000 to $7,500 more expensive to buyers. How much will Rivian suffer? The answer might surprise you. Many investors are looking over electric car stocks to find the next Tesla. It's a worthy mission. Tesla shares have risen 23,000% in value since 2010. What's the key to spotting the next Tesla? Look for companies that can launch affordable models priced under $50,000. As mentioned, reaching this milestone creates a gigantic growth catalyst, making the automakers' models affordable to tens of millions of new buyers. Right now, Rivian is right on track. After releasing two luxury models with premium price tags -- very similar to what Tesla achieved with its Model S and Model X vehicles -- Rivian is preparing to start production of three new affordable models: the R2, R3, and R3X. Production is slated to begin in early 2026, but I'm not expecting full production of all three models until 2027 or 2028. Still, there's no doubt that Rivian is prepared to hit its biggest growth milestone in years. With $4.7 billion in cash on the books, plus a deal with Volkswagen that could deliver several more billion dollars in capital, Rivian looks like it has the means to get these vehicles to market. That will allow sales to surge, and also provide significantly more operational leverage, likely improving profit margins. Regardless of whether the EV tax credits are eliminated, Rivian has the capital to reach this growth catalyst, meaning sales growth should be expected whatever the future brings. Right now, Rivian's vehicles are priced between $70,000 and $100,000 depending on the exact package. If the company can price three new vehicles under the $50,000 mark, that makes its lineup significantly more affordable even without a tax incentive. In fact, eliminating the EV tax credit could end up helping Rivian long-term. It should be stressed that Trump's bill to eliminate EV tax credits is only a bill right now. It has a long way yet to becoming law. But if these eliminations are put into place, expect EV demand to drop over the near term. EVs are already struggling to maintain cost competitiveness versus gas or diesel engines. Adding $4,000 to $7,500 to the final cost should eliminate many potential buyers, especially those seeking long-term cost savings. Rivian also generates "free" income by selling automotive regulatory credits -- a major factor in the company achieving positive gross margins in recent quarters. Like Tesla, however, most of these credits are earned by state programs like California's, making them unlikely to be cut anytime soon. The important thing to note here is that most North American automakers don't yet have an affordable electric vehicle on the market, though most are trying. Consider Lucid Group, which aims to release several new mass market vehicles over the coming years. The company has less than $2 billion in cash on the balance sheet, and will almost certainly need more capital to get these cars to market. If its existing luxury models become even more expensive, that could lower demand and access to capital, making it harder for the company to actually get its affordable models to market. It's very possible the company could face severe financial uncertainty should these tax incentives be eliminated. Rivian, meanwhile, is already profitable on a gross margin basis, unlike Lucid, though it does partially rely on federal automotive regulatory credits to achieve this.. It's also much further along in the development of its affordable models than Lucid, making it much more likely it actually gets these models to market. If other competitors struggle financially due to lower EV tax incentives, it's possible Rivian could gain long-term. However, it should be noted that over the short term, Rivian should take a direct demand hit. The result is a mixed bag for Rivian. Demand would fall near-term due to higher costs for consumers. But a lessening of competition and investment by peers like Lucid Group could open up more long-term market share.
