Billionaires In Collapse: US$ 210B Evaporate In Two Months

Trump’s second term triggers a financial earthquake, with Musk leading the losses at US$ 145B less. Tesla plunges 45% in 2025, rejected in Europe and China. Meanwhile, Bezos, Brin, Zuckerberg, and Arnault also feel the impact. Can Musk’s empire recover, or is this the beginning of its greatest downfall?

The unpredictable Trump administration began its second term with a mix of promises for economic growth and aggressive protectionist measures. The result? Instability in the markets, mass layoffs in the public sector, and a collapse in the stock prices of some of the largest companies in the world. Tesla, already facing challenges, was one of the most affected.

Musk’s automaker had already been struggling with intense competition and a loss of consumer interest. But the 15% drop in a single day, recorded on March 10, marked the company’s worst session since 2020. By the end of 2025, the devaluation reached 45%. Investors fled, and Musk saw his fortune evaporate.

The Decline Of Tesla And Global Rejection

Tesla, which once dominated the European electric vehicle market, is facing a growing boycott. The reason? Musk’s open support for far-right politicians, which has displeased consumers and investors. The result was a 70% drop in sales in Germany, one of the company’s main markets on the continent.

If Europe was a hard blow, China was the final blow. The country, Tesla’s second-largest market, saw a 49% drop in the automaker’s shipments in just one month. With the Chinese government encouraging local manufacturers and consumers losing confidence in the brand, Tesla lost ground to competitors like BYD, which continue to grow.

The Domino Effect: Other Billionaires Also Feel The Impact

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos also saw his fortune melt by US$ 31 billion. Despite trying to get closer to Trump, the e-commerce giant’s stock fell 15%, reflecting market instability.

Sergey Brin, co-founder of Google, lost US$ 23 billion. The U.S. government increased pressure on Alphabet, threatening to break up the company to reduce its dominance in the search market.

Mark Zuckerberg (Meta) and Bernard Arnault (LVMH) also felt the impacts of Trump’s policies. Meta’s stock gave back all its gains for 2025, resulting in an US$ 8 billion loss for its founder. Arnault lost US$ 5 billion due to the threat of tariffs up to 20% on European luxury goods.

In Niger, mud buildings have stood for ten generations while the world spends billions on concrete and steel, now African architects are proving at the Venice Biennale and in real projects that red earth can be the smartest and most sustainable building material of the 21st century.

Belgium will sink 23 giant concrete caissons, each weighing 22,000 tons, in the North Sea to build the world’s first artificial energy island 45 km off the coast, forming offshore electrical walls.

Dongfang breaks world record and manufactures 26 MW wind turbine in China with 137-meter blades that spin so slowly they appear stationary on the horizon.

While asphalt-covered cities in the U.S. debate where to find land for solar energy, a study shows that Walmart could generate 11.1 GW just by covering its 3,571 parking lots.

Most people believe in at least one of the 6 most common health myths, reveals a global survey with 16,000 people in 16 countries; trust in doctors plummets, use of AI explodes, and experts warn of the dangerous advance of misinformation in health.

The safest city in Brazil is located in the interior of São Paulo, 85 km from the capital, and impresses with record safety, a tradition in purple fig cultivation, neighborhoods surrounded by nature, and a high standard of quality of life.

Electric cars that promised 500 km are starting to lose up to 200 km after remote updates, and owners accuse manufacturers of “silently” locking batteries to prevent overheating.
