It happened so after Tesla Inc.’s stock price shot up about 100 per cent from intraday low on 6 January this year as investors pile back into bets on riskier growth stocks amid indications of economic strength and a slower pace of Federal Reserve interest-rate increases, a report by Bloomberg said. The Twitter and Tesla CEO earlier lost the spot in December last year to Arnault after his net worth fell by over $200 billion between November and December 2022 making him the first person ever to lose such a massive wealth. His net worth slid from around $340 billion in November to $137 billion in December. It happened after a massive decline in the value of Tesla shares.
