🗞️ News
TikTok Ban Delayed - Again
President Trump has signed an executive order to extend the deadline for banning TikTok in the U.S. by another 75 days. This is the second time he has temporarily blocked the 2024 law that banned TikTok on national security grounds. Trump is negotiating deals with Amazon, MrBeast, and Alexis Ohanian to buy a stake in TikTok and keep it running in the U.S.
Billion Dollar Fine
The European Union is preparing to issue major penalties against Elon Musk's social media platform X for violating the EU's new law to fight the spread of illegal content and disinformation. The penalties are expected to include a substantial fine, potentially over $1 billion, as well as demands for X to make changes to its product.
$172 Billion Lost
The world's 10 richest people, collectively worth over $2 trillion at the start of 2025, have seen a massive decline in their net worth due to the recent stock market crash. In just 3 days, these billionaires lost a combined $172 billion as stocks plunged following President Trump's announcement of new tariffs. Elon Musk was hit the hardest, losing $35 billion, while Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg saw his net worth drop by $24 billion.
That’s it for now!
