The milestone lasted 49 days.By July 31, SpaceX shares had corrected sharply below their <a href="https://www.thestreet.com/crypto/markets/tesla-sends-a-quiet-but-powerful-message-on-bitcoin" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">IPO price, touching</a> $132.15 as an intraday low earlier this month.Musk's net worth has pulled back to approximately $800 billion according to Bloomberg's Billionaires Index, a loss of roughly $200 billion from the peak.
