Tesla's latest financial report has garnered widespread attention globally. This report is considered Tesla's worst performance since 2019, and the company's co-founder and CEO, billionaire Elon Musk, experienced a significant reduction in his wealth, amounting to billions of dollars. Tesla has always been closely watched, hailed as a leading company in the electric vehicle sector and one of the world's most valuable automakers. However, the recent financial report revealed that the company's performance fell short of market expectations, causing concern among investors and analysts.

In this financial report, Tesla's third-quarter gross profit margin dropped to 17.9%, marking a new low in four years. Additionally, the company's operating profit margin also fell to 7.6%, the lowest level since the first quarter of 2021. These data indicate serious challenges in Tesla's profitability, and some analysts are beginning to question whether the company can sustain its previous rapid growth. Tesla's stock price was also affected by the disappointing financial performance. The stock price fell for two consecutive days within a week, accumulating a 14.1% decrease, causing the company's market value to evaporate by billions of dollars. This also resulted in a significant wealth loss for Tesla's CEO Elon Musk.

Elon Musk has consistently been one of the world's wealthiest individuals, but the poor performance of this financial report led to a reduction of approximately $161 billion in his personal wealth. Although he still possesses roughly $209.6 billion in wealth, this loss amounts to several billion dollars. Musk admitted during a post-report conference call that Tesla faces numerous challenges, especially considering that a high-interest-rate environment might reduce people's interest in buying electric vehicles. He noted that car buyers are typically more concerned about monthly payments, and high-interest rates might make car purchases more expensive and difficult.

Musk's primary focus appears to be on the cryptocurrency business and high-tech ventures.

Musk doesn't care about his net worth at all; his focus is on outer space, and he has set his sights on Mars and the Moon.
