Elon Musk's reckless tweet just cost him 7billion—and
handed
China 7billion—and handed China 22 billion opportunity.
In classic Musk fashion, he fired off a baseless accusation linking Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim to organized crime. Within minutes, Slim axed all Starlink deals across Latin America. An hour later, he redirected $22 billion in future projects—originally slated for SpaceX—to Chinese and European rivals.
Beyond the immediate financial hit, Musk lost his key partner in 25 countries, while the U.S. watched China expand its influence. One impulsive tweet, billions in losses, and a major strategic blunder—all before lunch.
When billionaires tweet first and think later, the stakes are far higher than they realize.
