Elon Musk Suffers Biggest Loss of Wealth in Modern History
Elon Musk’s net worth has more than halved over the past 13 months, making it the biggest loss of wealth in modern history.
According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Musk’s net worth declined by a striking $208 billion in the past year alone–that’s roughly the same as the annual GDP of Greece.

Elon Musk Breaks Silence After Twitter Users Vote for His Resignation
After a relatively quiet day, Elon Musk sheepishly returned to Twitter on Monday evening. He had been silent for the majority of the previous 24 hours after creating a poll in which users had chosen for him to step down as the company’s CEO. Musk didn’t exactly make a public statement, but he did start his comeback by talking to Kim Dotcom, a convicted fraudster.
Twitter Users Vote in Poll for Elon Musk to Step Down
In a recent poll made by Twitter CEO, Elon Musk, Musk asked Twitter users whether or not he should step down from his role as CEO of the social media platform. The poll ended on Monday, with 57% of the 17.5 million users that engaged with the poll, having voted “yes.” The results showed that the majority of those who responded think he should step down, but whether or not he actually will is still up in the air. Musk claimed in the same poll that he would “abide by the results,” but with the poll having ended (meaning no more users can vote on it), and the majority having indicated a resounding “Yes,” there has yet to be any official announcement by either Twitter or Musk himself about the future of the company and his role with it.
Twitter Suspends Journalists Who Have Been Covering Elon Musk and the Company
On Thursday evening, Twitter suddenly suspended several high-profile journalists who cover the platform and Elon Musk, one of the richest people in the world, who acquired the company just a few months ago.

EU commissioner Vera Jourova said the EU’s new Digital Services Act requires “the respect of media freedom.” The German Foreign Office also warned Twitter that “press freedom cannot be switched on and off on a whim.”
Elon Musk’s Medical Firm Neuralink is Accused of 1,500 Animals’ Needless Deaths
Elon Musk is in the spotlight again. It seems that when the SpaceX CEO is not firing thousands of employees without notice or reinstating former president Donald Trumps Twitter account, he likes to keep himself busy with the killings of over one thousand animals—for science.
Elon Musk uses Twitter as a political weapon
When Musk first expressed interest in purchasing Twitter, there were numerous theories as to why. Given that he already owned two other influential companies focused on engineering solutions, it was unclear whether he was genuinely trying to improve a site he saw as a video game, accumulating social power and increasing the bottom line of his businesses, or simply having a laugh. These explanations may still shed light on why he acted as he did. However, it is now impossible to ignore the emerging reality that Musk regards Twitter ownership as a powerful tool for right-wing activism.
Elon Musk Restores Trump’s Twitter Account
Just a week after purchasing Twitter, Elon Musk has already laid off nearly half of the platform’s workforce, forcing the remaining employees to work in office instead of remotely, and even sign a pledge to commit to the company or quit.
