Elon Musk saw his net worth plummet by around £8 billion ($10bn) in a single day last week after sexual harassment allegations about him emerged. According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index , Musk's wealth fell to about £160bn ($201bn) late last week, down from $212bn. This is because Tesla stocks, which make up a large portion of Musk's fortune, plummeted following the claims. It has since increased slightly to £162bn ($204bn) as Tesla stock prices stabilised over the weekend. A Business Insider report claimed they obtained documents and interviews which detailed an incident between Musk and an anonymous flight attendant on a private jet in 2016. The report, which was based on claims by the flight attendant's 'friend', claims that Musk exposed his penis to the flight attendant and offered to buy her a horse in exchange for an erotic massage. Musk reportedly requested her to visit his room during the flight, where he was "completely naked" other than a "sheet … [Read more...] about Elon Musk loses £8 billion in a day following claims he offered horse for erotic massage

Elon Musk’s job ad for a “hardcore” lawyer gets trolled on Twitter
Elon Musk's tweet last Friday seeking "hardcore streetfighters" to join Tesla's litigation department has been derided and trolled with thousands of mock job applications. The Tesla and SpaceX CEO's Twitter job ad came one day after a bombshell report accused the tech mogul of sexual harassment in 2016. According to Insider , a former flight attendant and SpaceX employee alleged that Musk exposed his penis to her and offered to buy her a horse in exchange for an erotic massage. SpaceX later paid the woman $250,000 to settle her sexual misconduct accusation, Insider reported. Musk has dismissed the allegation as a "politically motivated hit piece." The world's richest man also recently made news for agreeing to buy Twitter in a $44 billion deal on April 14. A month later, he announced that the deal was "temporarily on hold" pending details over fake accounts. In the tweeted job ad for lawyers to join Tesla, Musk said, "Tesla is building a hardcore litigation … [Read more...] about Elon Musk’s job ad for a “hardcore” lawyer gets trolled on Twitter
‘We Just Need To Celebrate Having Kids’: Elon Musk Sounds Off On America’s Dwindling Birthing Rate | The Daily Wire
Billionaire and tech visionary Elon Musk sounded the alarm about America’s dwindling birth rate on Tuesday while saying that the solution is, in part, to “celebrate having kids.” Musk has warned about the world’s underpopulation in the past but focused specifically on the United States in his latest comments. The potential new owner of Twitter added that America’s birth rate has been unsustainable for half a century. “USA birth rate has been below min sustainable levels for ~50 years,” Musk tweeted. Contrary to what many think, the richer someone is, the fewer kids they have. I am a rare exception. Most people I know have zero or one kid. — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) May 24, 2022 Musk, who has eight children, also added that wealthier people tend not to have as many children. “Contrary to what many think, the richer someone is, the fewer kids they have.

Silicon Valley lashes out at Trump ban
Dave Lee Published 30 January 2017 comments Comments Share close Share page Copy link About sharing For months, Silicon Valley seemed to be heeding the advice of one of its most powerful figures, billionaire investor Peter Thiel, who said President Trump should be taken "seriously, but not literally”. But at the international arrivals gate at San Francisco airport at the weekend, things were getting very literal, very quickly. What the tech industry had feared might happen, was happening. The impact of President Trump’s immigration ban on tech companies has been immediate. And one by one, the major firms and personalities in this part of the world spoke out with a fervour some felt was long overdue. It was Google’s Sundar Pichai who really got the ball rolling. Late on Friday, he sent a memo to all employees raising his concerns and revealing that more than 100 Google … [Read more...] about Silicon Valley lashes out at Trump ban

NFT of Jack Dorsey’s first tweet struggles to sell
By Annabelle Liang Published 14 April Share close Share page Copy link About sharing The buyer of a non-fungible token (NFT) of Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey's first tweet says he "may never sell it" after receiving a series of low bids. Malaysia-based Sina Estavi has been offered just over $6,200 (£4,720), about 0.2% of the $2.9m he paid for it. Mr Estavi has compared the digital asset to Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa. The tweet, which says "just setting up my twttr," was first posted in March 2006 and was auctioned off last year by Mr Dorsey for charity. Mr Estavi bought the tweet in the form of a NFT in March 2021. NFTs have been touted as the digital answer to collectibles. However, they have no tangible form of their own, and experts have warned about risks in the market. What are NFTs?

ISIS sympathiser planned to assassinate George W Bush in Texas, FBI says
An Iraqi who entered the US two years ago allegedly plotted to kill George W Bush, even travelling to Texas to surveil the former president's home, according to an FBI search warrant affidavit obtained by NBC News. The FBI alleges that Shihab Ahmed Shihab wanted to provide material support to the Islamic State terrorist group, telling a confidential FBI source that he wanted to smuggle people into the country "to murder former President George W Bush" because he held him responsible for killing numerous Iraqis in the 2003 invasion of the country. Forbes first reported the alleged plot. NBC News was not immediately able to find a representative of Shihab, who is in custody, to comment. According to the search warrant application, the FBI is considering charges of threats against a former president, material support to ISIS and visa fraud. The FBI says Shihab entered the US legally in September 2020 and then applied for political asylum while also trying to marry a US … [Read more...] about ISIS sympathiser planned to assassinate George W Bush in Texas, FBI says
Get Woke, Go Broke: Old Navy Takes Massive Loss, Angers Customers After Going All-In On ‘Inclusivity’ Sizing | The Daily Wire
Old Navy and its parent company Gap Inc. took a massive loss after Old Navy went all-in on the so-called “body positivity” movement, offering extremely large and small clothing items. Instead of cashing in on the feminist movement and earning praise for its apparent progressivism, Old Navy was left with clothing in only the extremely large and small sizes — and unhappy customers. A lot of unhappy customers. “Analysts expect the company to report net sales of $3.44 billion, down from the $3.99 billion it reported in the same period last year,” a report from The Wall Street Journal said of a Gap Inc. report, which “showed the company’s latest quarterly results on May 26.” The bad numbers have already triggered a “management shake-up,” the report noted. “Old Navy set out to make clothes shopping more inclusive for women of all body types,” the Journal said. “It ended up with too many extra-small and extra-large items and too few of the rest, a mismatch that frustrated … [Read more...] about Get Woke, Go Broke: Old Navy Takes Massive Loss, Angers Customers After Going All-In On ‘Inclusivity’ Sizing | The Daily Wire
