Tesla is a big help for Musk to become the richest man in the world. However, as Musk continues to sell Tesla shares, 50% of investors predict Musk will lose the title of richest person by the end of 2023.
Tesla stock hit a record high last year, helping Elon Musk take the top spot. A recent survey showed that 68% of investors believe Elon Musk will continue to sell Tesla shares in the future. Since November last year, Elon Musk has sold more than 15 million shares of Tesla stock, with a cumulative cash out of nearly $25 billion.
