The cancellation of plans for a budget-friendly car and a decline in vehicle deliveries triggered a downturn in Tesla’s shares, resulting in a significant dent in Musk’s wealth. Despite denying reports of Tesla’s plans, Musk’s net worth plummeted by $48.4 billion this year.
Conversely, Zuckerberg’s fortune has soared by $58.9 billion as Meta Platforms Inc. continues to surge to new heights, buoyed by strong quarterly earnings and investor excitement over its artificial intelligence endeavours.

The rivalry between Zuckerberg and Musk extends beyond wealth, with the two engaging in a public spat that has captured attention. The public spat intensified when Meta launched Threads, a social-media platform that competes with Musk’s X. The two even traded barbs last year about a possible cage fight. Musk, 52, recently revived the idea on X, saying he would fight Zuckerberg, 39, “anywhere, anytime.”
Despite the tension, the much-anticipated showdown between Zuckerberg and Musk never materialized, devolving instead into name-calling and taunts. However, their rivalry serves as a microcosm of the broader tech landscape, where innovation, competition, and ego collide.
