This year alone, Musk&#8217;s net worth has increased by more than $55.3 billion, largely due to the success of Tesla, which makes up 71 percent of his wealth. In December, Musk lost his top spot to Bernard Arnault after a year of setbacks, including a $138 billion loss in wealth after his purchase of Twitter. <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Despite a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/elon-musk-gets-great-news-beats-out-bezos-gates-and-zuckerberg-for-prestigious-title-rank\/\" title=\"Elon Musk wins prestigious title, surpasses Bezos, Gates, and Zuckerberg.\">transnational left-wing conspiracy<\/a> to destroy him, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/elonmusk?\">@ElonMusk<\/a> reclaims spot as world\u2019s richest man <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/nwIhrWj11X\">https:\/\/t.co\/nwIhrWj11X<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/FoxBusiness?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#FoxBusiness<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Tom Fitton (@TomFitton) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TomFitton\/status\/1664682303379865604?\">June 2, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>However, Musk&#8217;s return to the top has been overshadowed by a new controversy.
