Elon Musk is no longer the worlds richest person after Tesla Inc. shares slid 8.6 per cent on Monday, wiping US$15.2 billion from his net worth. Teslas decline was fueled in part by Musks comments over the weekend that the prices of Bitcoin and smaller rival Ether do seem high. His message -- via his favored medium of Twitter -- came two weeks after Tesla announced it has added US$1.5 billion in Bitcoin to its balance sheet. Musk also tweeted earlier Monday that the companys Model Y Standard Range SUV would still be available off the menu, backing up reports from electric vehicle news site Electrek that the model had been removed from its online configurator. Musk drops to second on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index of the worlds 500 richest people with a net worth of US$183.4 billion. Amazon.com Inc. founder Jeff Bezos reclaimed the top spot even as his fortune fell by US$3.7 billion to US$186.3 billion.

How do we know he didnt say that to lower Bitcoin and buy more?
That was my first thought. Then I thought, why would TSLA need bitcoin as a means of finance?

This had nothing to do with the broad tech growth stock sell off which Tesla is obviously part of.

From what I remember reading, which I have zero source or proof of, is that he was left money from a wealthy family member. But he also had a rough/abusive childhood, which is why he's...odd.

Cash only goes down in value. So Tesla joined the growing list of companies that are converting a little cash into Bitcoin for this reason.

He doesn't care. He's just flexing on you peasants, especially those who lost money actually affect their life. Like he's so rich and influential a tweet can affect prices like that and since crypto doesn't have regulation or whatever he can manipulate prices as he wants and he's just doing it for the lulz and laughing at people whose life actually affected by that.

he is trying to lower the price so more people have a chance to buy it. and that's also why he's telegraphing Dogecoin. he does want Dogecoin to be a real thing. accepted as payment for Tesla autonomous driving/charging, Starlink, etc. you'll see.

so he's telegraphing these moves to anyone who is paying attention. as a hint of what to do.

agree. he's basically saying dogecoin is 5-6 cents. if it goes up to 25, thats more than youll ever make from btc in the next decade.

much better to be sitting on much doge when it really explodes one day.

yes. And at the scale of what his companies will do on moon and mars, being able to use doge because its a meme and he loves memes...would give it a market cap considerably larger than what BTCs currently is.

that being said BTC isnt going anywhere. It may just slow down a bit relative to doge
