The index was seen reaching that level by the first half of next year by 26% of participants, with 11% saying it would happen in the second half and the remainder estimating 2027 or later.

Musk lost $34 billion in net worth as Tesla stock tanked amid Trump online war
Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, lost $34 billion in net worth on Thursday after his company's stock plummeted in response to the online fight he got in with President Donald Trump. Over the last week, some Tesla stock investors had begun pulling their investments as Musk insulted Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill' and made a swift exit from his 'special government employee' position. But, investors acted much more quickly while witnessing the two men engage in a back-and-forth on their respective social media platforms. Trump claimed he asked 'crazy' Musk to leave his administration. Musk took credit for Trump's election win. Trump threatened to pull Musk's government contracts. Musk accused Trump of being named in the 'Epstein files.' Down the stock went, ending the day at a 14 percent loss – equating to a $34 billion valuation for Musk. While many claim to have anticipated the online feud, it's a long way away from Musk jumping for joy onstage at Trump's rallies or the duo's Oval Office press conferences. The cracks started to appear in their relationship after the tech mogul refused to stand by and praise Trump's spending bill, which he has characterized as disastrous for the government. Musk's Thursday loss is part of the 33 percent decline Tesla's stock has seen since Inauguration Day. Although the stock had significant gains after the election, much of that has been wiped out by growing criticisms of Musk's role in the government, DOGE, and now his exit. Musk is still the world's richest man, but a $34 billion drop in net worth is still notable given it's the second-largest loss of the 500 wealthiest people on the planet recorded by the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. 'The only bigger one: his own wipeout in November 2021,' Bloomberg reported. But the tech entrepreneur still has plenty of other endeavors to drive his wealth, including SpaceX, one of the world's most valuable private startups, according to Bloomberg, Neuralink and xAI. As the dust settles from the powerful individuals' fight, it's still unclear what path forward Musk and his subsidiaries will take now that Trump has bashed Tesla's climate-conscious mission and threatened to revoke Musk's critical government contracts.

Elon Musk suffers one of the largest wealth losses ever as Trump feud escalates
Tesla CEO Elon Musk's fallout with President Donald Trump on Thursday resulted in the second-largest wealth loss ever, according to the Bloomberg Billionaire Index. The feud started earlier this week when Musk harshly criticized Trump's 'big, beautiful bill,' but it escalated when the president fired back during a White House meeting on Thursday and accused his former adviser of only opposing the legislation because it would eliminate electric vehicle tax credits. Musk's very public response on his social media platform X included accusing Trump of 'ingratitude' and claiming that his name appeared in the so-called 'Epstein files.' Trump eventually threatened to cancel Musk's federal contracts, writing on Truth Social: "The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elon's Governmental Subsidies and Contracts." At the end of it all, Musk's wealth had suffered an estimated $34 billion hit, according to Bloomberg, just shy of the largest single-day wealth loss, which was also suffered by Musk in November 2021. Despite the massive loss, Musk remains the world's wealthiest person, with an estimated $334.5 billion fortune. Tesla, Musk's electric vehicle company, closed the day down 14.3%, representing an almost $150 billion loss in market value. From Musk's perspective, the damage might not be done, according to Bloomberg. 'As big of a loss as Musk took on Thursday, it might not encompass the full hit to his wealth since it doesn't reflect any damage to the value of his private enterprises — an increasingly important source of his net worth,' the outlet reported.
