Elon Musk becomes world's first half-trillionaire
NEW YORK — Tesla boss Elon Musk has become the first person ever to achieve a net worth of more than $500bn (£370.9bn), as the value of the electric car company and his other businesses have risen this year.The tech magnate's net worth briefly reached $500.1bn on Wednesday afternoon New York time, before dipping slightly to just over $499bn later in the day, the Forbes' billionaires index reported.Alongside Tesla, valuations of his other ventures, including the artificial intelligence startup xAI and rocket company SpaceX, have also reportedly climbed in recent months.The milestone further cements Musk's status as the world's richest person, well ahead of rivals in the global tech sector.According to Forbes' billionaires index, Oracle founder Larry Ellison is the...

Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro at the National Assembly in Caracas on August 22, 2025
Venezuela’s Maduro says he is ready to declare state of emergency if US attacks
CARACAS — Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro says he is preparing to declare a state of emergency to protect his country in the event of an attack by the US military, amid rising tensions over the deployment of American warships to the Caribbean.In a televised address Monday, he told the country the “consultation process” had begun to declare “a state of external unrest, in accordance with the Constitution, and to protect our people, our peace, and our stability ... should Venezuela be attacked by the US empire, militarily attacked.”The address follows weeks of rising tensions following the US deployment of warships to the Caribbean Sea on what Washington insists is a mission to combat drug trafficking but Caracas believes is aimed at regime change. The US has accused Maduro of...

US President Donald Trump shakes hands with Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth
Hegseth pushes to remake the military in his preferred image
WASHINGTON — Before a captive audience of hundreds of senior military officers on Tuesday morning, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth asserted his vision for how the US military will physically look and act, and offered a stark conclusion: If you don’t agree, resign.“The sooner we have the right people, the sooner we can advance the right policies ... but if the words I’m speaking today are making your heart sink, then you should do the honorable thing and resign,” he said.The right policies, according to Hegseth, center on his broader campaign against past efforts that he has deemed “woke” aimed at promoting diversity or accommodating troops — the specifics of which were made official in 10 directives sent out to military leadership as he spoke.There will be no “fat...

Trump and Hegseth to address top US generals in unusual military gathering
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump and Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth will on Tuesday address American military top brass in person, for an unusual event at a base near Washington DC.Hundreds of military leaders, including generals and admirals stationed around the world, are expected to attend. It represents a rare gathering of so many senior personnel in one place.No official reason was publicly provided when the leaders were summoned at short notice last week, prompting a flurry of speculation. Vice-President JD Vance has sought to downplay the event.Security is extremely tight for the summit, which will take place at Marine Corps Base Quantico, a sprawling 55,000-acre facility in Virginia.Behind the stage on which Hegseth and Trump were expected to speak was a large American...

The most recent government shutdown, during Trump's first term, lasted 35 days, setting a record as the longest in American history
US shutdown looms after Trump and Democrats end meeting without a deal
WASHINGTON — The US is hurtling toward a government shutdown on Tuesday night, and there appears to be little appetite on either side of the partisan divide to avoid it.A last-ditch meeting between President Donald Trump and Democratic leaders in Congress made little progress. If anything, both sides have been digging deeper into their positions."I think we're headed to a shutdown because the Democrats won't do the right thing," Vice President JD Vance told reporters after the meeting at the White House. "You don't put a gun to the American people's head and say, 'Unless you do exactly what Senate and House Democrats want you to do, we're going to shut down your government'."Democratic Senate leader Chuck Schumer said there were still...

YouTube to pay $24.5 million to settle Trump lawsuit
NEW YORK — YouTube agreed to pay $24.5 million to settle a lawsuit filed by President Donald Trump after he was suspended by social media platforms following the January 6, 2021, insurrection.This makes Alphabet-owned YouTube the last of the three Big Tech social media companies sued by Trump — which included Meta and then Twitter, now called X — to settle over his removal from their platforms.YouTube will pay $22 million to settle the claims made by Trump to the nonprofit Trust for the National Mall, which is “dedicated to restoring, preserving, and elevating the National Mall, to support the construction of the White House State Ballroom,” according to a court document.The social media company will also pay $2.5 million to settle with other plaintiffs, such as the nonprofit...

Trump announces 100% tariff on foreign-made movies
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump said in a Truth Social post on Monday he will be imposing a 100% tariff “on any and all movies that are made outside of the United States.”Trump did not specify when or how the tariff could be enacted.If Trump follows through with his threat, it would mark the first time he’s essentially imposed a tariff on a service rather than a good.The president initially threatened a 100% tariff on foreign-produced movies in May, arguing that other countries offer tax incentives that have drawn filmmakers abroad. In his post on Monday, he singled out California, saying the state “has been particularly hard hit!”The state, meanwhile, has proposed and put in effect many tax incentives, as have other American cities.Hollywood was completely caught off guard...
