- Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Jeff Bezos have collectively lost $80 billion in net worth since the tariffs were introduced, with Musk experiencing the steepest personal wealth decline.
- Apple has been particularly affected due to its reliance on international manufacturing, with its stock price dropping approximately 30%.
