ELON MUSK BECOMES WORLD'S FIRST TRILLIONAIRE.


After SpaceX raised a record $75 billion in its IPO, Musk’s net worth shot up to top $1.1 trillion when the stock began trading Friday, putting him in an economic class of his own.

Combined with his holdings in electric vehicle maker Tesla, as well as other investments and assets, Musk's net worth is now estimated at about $1.1 trillion.

Musk's stake in the rocket and satellite company alone is now estimated at a staggering $690 billion, but it's also a life-changing moment for thousands of workers at the company who hold equity.

Investors who watched Musk help turn Tesla into an automotive giant are now betting he can do the same in space and artificial intelligence, as SpaceX launches the largest IPO in history.

IF MY MAN EARNS 5K, HE SHOULD GIVE ME AT LEAST 3K; THE DAY HE ASKS ME FOR MONEY, HE'LL NEVER HEAR FROM ME AGAIN" - TOKE

Image
Media personality Toke Makinwa has said she has never been in a relationship where a man asked her for money, adding that she considers it a deal breaker if a partner ever does. Speaking during a recent episode of her podcast, Toke Moments, which featured reality TV star Mercy Eke, Makinwa reflected on conversations about women being asked to financially support their partners. She said she often wonders why she has never had such an experience. “When I hear women say these things, I sit down and I ask myself, why don’t men ask me for money? Men don’t ask me for money.” She jokingly suggested that perhaps the way she presents herself or shares her own challenges discourages men from asking her for financial assistance. “Maybe there is something on my head. Maybe because before you ask me, I’m already giving you all my problems? As soon as you say how are you? Today I have a headache.’ Maybe that’s why.” Makinwa maintained that even the men she had dated who were not financi...

MONEY WON'T MATTER IN 2036. IT WOULD BECOME IRRELEVANT IN THE FUTURE - BILLIONAIRE ELON MUSK DECLARES

Image
Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk has predicted that money could become irrelevant by 2036 as artificial intelligence and robots become capable of producing more goods and services than humans could ever consume. Speaking during an interview with The Economist, Musk declared, “Money won’t matter in 2036.” When interviewer Zanny Minton Beddoes questioned the prediction, Musk explained, “What do you want money for? You want money for goods and services, right? You want money for obviously food, housing, transport, entertainment.” He argued that once AI and robots make those essentials abundantly available, “If the robots and AI are providing more goods and services than any human could possibly consume, what do you need money for in that case?” On concerns about millions of people losing their jobs to AI, Musk suggested governments could directly support citizens financially. “I think the Treasury should just simply issue people cheques,” he said. When Beddoes warned that pr...

WHY YOU MUST NEVER PUT YOUR BROTHER OR YOUR FATHER AS YOUR NEXT OF KIN - PASTOR SARAH OMYAKWU

Image
Pastor Sarah Omyakwu has advised married couples to prioritize their spouses and children when choosing a next of kin, saying they should be regarded as the immediate family. Speaking during a sermon, she said, “Men, you don’t put next of kin as your brother or your father, because your brother is not going to take care of your children. He will take care of his children first before your children.” She stressed that a man’s wife and children should come first, adding, “Your people are your wife and your children first. They are your next of kin, not your mother, not your father, not your brother.” Addressing married women, Pastor Omakwu said the same principle applies to them, stating, “The same thing with your wife. Wife, your husband is the next of kin, and not your sister or your family.” She further not to list both their spouse and sibling as joint next of kin on official workplace documents, citing organisations such as the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) ...

Former adult film star Deyci Alejandra Omana Ortiz, popularly known as Amaranta Hank during her time in the adult movi industry, has been sworn in as a senator in Colombia after winning election on a platform focused on protecting the rights of adult-content creators.

A former journalist, she entered the adult entertainment industry in 2017 before leaving two years later to pursue a career in politics. Elected in March from Colombia’s Norte de Santander region, Ortiz says one of her top priorities is securing legal and social protections for people working in the adult entertainment industry, arguing they are often exploited and denied basic rights. In a campaign video, she said, “These women have been unprotected by the state because, due to misinformation, prejudice and double standards, no one has declared to regulate it.” Responding to critics who questioned her suit...

CAN OPPOSES N50,000 FINE FOR PREACHING IN COMMERCIAL BUSES, SAYS IT VIOLATES NIGERIANS CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS, URGES TINUBU TO REJECT BILL

Image
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), South-West zone, has rejected the proposed ban on preaching inside commercial vehicles, warning that the measure could violate Nigerians’ constitutional rights. The reaction follows the passage of the Federal Road Safety Corps (Amendment) Bill, 2026, by the Senate. The bill proposes a ₦50,000 fine for anyone convicted of hawking, trading or preaching inside commercial vehicles. It also prescribes a ₦50,000 fine, six months’ imprisonment, or both for motorists who refuse to cooperate with FRSC officials during roadside breath tests conducted on reasonable suspicion. In a statement by its South-West Chairman, Bishop Barnabas Akinsanya, CAN expressed “serious concerns” over the bill, “particularly the provision prescribing sanctions for preaching in commercial buses and the outright prohibition of hawking in such vehicles.” The association said, “While government has a constitutional responsibility to ensure public safety, it also ha...

U.S LAWMAKER JOHN JAMES TELLS NIGERIA TO FREE NNAMDI KANU OR RISK LOSING AMERICAN AID

Image
A United States Congressman, John James, has called on the Nigerian government to either release the detained leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, or face possible cuts in US financial support. Speaking during a plenary session of the US House of Representatives, James urged lawmakers to back H.Res. 1321, a resolution he introduced seeking a fresh trial for Kanu in line with Nigeria’s Constitution and international human rights standards. The Michigan lawmaker alleged that Kanu’s prosecution was part of a broader pattern of persecution against Christians in Nigeria. “Since 2019, tens of thousands of Christians in Nigeria have been sla¥ghtered as part of a sustained pattern of religiously motivated v+olence by Islamist jihadists ignored or enabled by the Nigerian government,” he said. James further claimed extremist groups such as Boko Haram had operated without meaningful resistance from Nigerian authorities, describing Kanu as “a courag...
