I never saw the inverse headline here when TSLA was down by 50%.

That "2025" number at the end of the title is the year, the other number is the customary balance reported at the end of the year... every year!
You seriously claim that you never see headlines like " [Billionaire name] lost $XX billion in net worth on bad [stock ticker here] trading day"?
