The owner of US electric car maker Tesla, Elon Musk, lost the title of the world’s richest person after his company’s shares fell 8.6% this week.

Musk, 49, has fallen to second place on Bloomberg’s list of the world’s richest billionaires.
Musk’s fortune was set at $ 183.4 billion, while last January he owned nearly $ 210 billion.
On the other hand, the founder of the company ‘Amazon’, Jeff Bezos, recovered the top of the richest in the world, although his fortune also fell by 1.7 billion dollars, reaching 186.3 billion dollars, this Monday, as reported ‘ Sky News’.
The two American businessmen have been at the helm since the beginning of the year.
Musk’s fortune jumped dramatically after the value of his company, SpaceX, rose by $ 850 million earlier this month. The value of the company specializing in the space industry was estimated at 74,000 million dollars.
Tesla shares have declined in value, after it recently stated that the value of the digital currency Bitcoin appears to be high.
On Tuesday, the value of Tesla shares fell 6 percent on the money market.
The comments came just two weeks after the company bought $ 1.5 billion worth of Bitcoin, and the coin soared.
Bitcoin fell from its peak of $ 58,000 on Sunday to around $ 45,000 on Tuesday.
Despite Bitcoin’s recent crash, the coin is still more than 500 percent higher than its price over the past year.
