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.

The Domino Effect: Other Billionaires Also Feel The Impact

Engineers want to carve through Africa with a giant canal to bring water from the world’s second-largest river to a dying lake on the edge of the Sahara Desert that has already lost 90% of its water.

A giant brown band visible from space, approximately 8,850 kilometers long, connected Africa to America in the Atlantic Ocean, and satellites revealed that it is neither land nor pollution, but the largest accumulation of seaweed in the world, which broke records in 2025.

Workers were opening a modern road in Dover when they found, 6 meters below the asphalt, a 3,500-year-old boat made of stitched oak and plant fibers.

Instead of burning or burying old tires, an American city is transforming about 2,000 of them into the street itself, paving its first sections with a quieter and more durable rubber asphalt.

In just one cast, fishermen are surprised to capture 14,096 mullets in Bombinhas and close a historic season with 58,000 fish; scene recorded in the Santa Catarina paradise marks the last day of the 2026 season.

Consumers eat six times more chicken than in the 1960s, global meat supply quadruples in 60 years, and FAO report reveals the invisible cost on the plate: livestock could drive 80% of the increase in agricultural emissions over the next decade.

Motorcyclist sees excavator arriving at the edge of a river in Bosnia, calls neighbors in minutes and turns a hydroelectric project into a resistance lasting more than 10 years with five expired concessions.

Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter will come together in a mini alignment of planets that reaches its peak this Friday (06/12) and can be seen with the naked eye shortly after sunset in Brazil, depending on the weather forecast.

China sends ship to the bottom of the Pacific, finds rare minerals on the ocean floor, extracts 90 kg of basalt from the depths, and tests an unprecedented 10,000-meter system that performs a kind of “tomography” of the Earth beneath the sea.

For the first time in a thousand years, the two main faults in Southern California would be under maximum tension at the same time, according to a model from the University of Bern, an alignment that in the past preceded joint ruptures, although the study does not establish any date.

CO₂ from ethanol still escapes into the atmosphere, but São Paulo is preparing a R$ 30 million project to create the first Brazilian unit dedicated to sugarcane capable of storing carbon underground.
