After a brief stint as the wealthiest person on the planet, Tesla billionaire, Elon Musk is again the second-richest person in the world after his fortune fell by nearly $14 billion in one day.

Shares of his electric-vehicle maker, Tesla, fell by nearly 8% on Monday, pushing Musk’s net worth down by $13.5 billion, to $176.2 billion. After briefly overtaking Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos as the world’s richest person last Friday, Musk has again fallen to the second spot, according to Forbes’ estimates.

He is now about $6 billion behind Bezos, who has a net worth of $182.1 billion. Shares of Amazon fell by more than 2% on Monday, lowering Bezos’ net worth by $3.6 billion.
