Musk could lose almost half of his $423,000,000,000 net worth if he accepts jaw-dropping offer from Russia
Elon Musk’s feud with President Donald Trump has escalated, with Musk calling Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” a “disgusting abomination” and demanding his impeachment. The rift deepened after Musk suggested Trump’s name might appear in the Epstein Files, leading to a $34 billion loss in his net worth within a day. Russian figures, including former Roscosmos head Dmitry Rogozin, have jokingly offered Musk asylum, but the financial consequences of such a move could be devastating.
If Musk were to relocate to Russia, AI estimates suggest he could lose up to half of his $423 billion fortune. Tesla and SpaceX, heavily reliant on U.S. government contracts, could face investor panic, sanctions, and contract cancellations, costing Musk over $120 billion. His other ventures, like X and Neuralink, could also suffer, with potential asset freezes and brand damage in Western markets. In total, his losses could range between $103 billion and $212 billion. With his relationship with Trump in ruins, Musk may need to tread carefully to avoid further financial fallout.
