Elon Musk lost his trillionaire status on Tuesday after a sharp sell-off in global technology stocks erased billions from his fortune.

The decline hit Musk's holdings, including electric-car maker Tesla and the privately valued space company SpaceX. Highly valued technology shares fell as investors trimmed their appetite for risk.

The pullback is seen as part of a broader market correction following a recent artificial-intelligence-driven rally. Analysts said volatility could persist in the coming days as markets reassess stretched valuations.
