Elon Musk's Wealth Drops $16.3 Billion USD in Record Single-Day Loss

With Tuesday’s mass stock sell-off, Tesla‘s stock saw a 21.06-percent drop in value — adding more salt to the wound after its denial into the S&P 500 Index.

The 21-percent stock drop amounted to a $16.3 billion USD loss for Elon Musk, which to date is the largest single-day loss recorded on Bloomberg’s Billionaires Index (BBI). The bad news continued as fellow tech billionaire Jeff Bezos saw a wealth decrease of $7.9 billion USD.

This speedbump comes after a series of bullish news from the electric vehicle manufacture, with Musk’s wealth on a rocketship thanks to his tranche payouts.

  Two hundred children could die each day from hunger in northeastern Nigeria as a result of the ongoing conflict in the country, a humanitarian agency has warned. Up to half of all children under the age of five are acutely malnourished, international charity Save the Children said on Monday, after screening the health of boys and girls in the region between June and October in 2016. The figure could be even worse in areas that are out of reach because of insecurity, according to the report. Children are presenting in desperate conditions and facing severe malnutrition, often in combination with other life-threatening illnesses like pneumonia, malaria and diarrhoea," said Ben Foot, Save the Children country director. "For some cases this may be the second or third time they have fought malnutrition so their immune systems are already severely weakened." Violent attacks on civilians since 2009 by the armed group Boko H...

Cardi B explains why she 'drugged and robbed' men

Image
Cardi B has defended herself after a video resurfaced of her saying she drugged and robbed men who wanted to have sex with her while she worked as a stripper before finding fame. The rapper faced criticism after the three-year-old Instagram live video recirculated on social media. "Whether or not they were poor choices at the time, I did what I had to do to survive," she wrote on Tuesday. "I never claimed to be perfect or come from a perfect world." The original video was made as her career was starting to take off and was her response to someone who said she didn't deserve success because she hadn't put in any work. "Nothing was handed to me. Nothing," she said in the video, before going on to reveal that she would invite men to a hotel before drugging and robbing them. In response to the furore, she wrote on Instagram that she had been talking "about things in my past right or wrong that I felt I needed to do to make a living...
