Elon Musk set to overtake Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg to become world's third-richest person as Tesla shares soar

Image
  Tesla Inc. Chief Executive, Elon Musk is set to overtake Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg to become the world’s third-richest person. This comes after his net worth increased by more than $15 billion in extended trading following S&P Dow Jones Indices' announcement that Musk's electric carmaker company will join 500 index of leading US companies in December. Tesla, whose stock closed at $408.09, surged about 14% at 6:20 p.m. in New York, lifting Musk’s net worth to $117.5 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. His wealth has jumped $90 billion this year, the biggest gain on the ranking of the world’s 500 richest people.

The index for now shows Musk in fourth place with $102bn but it does not yet include the 12% surge that took place in extended trading after the market closed on Monday. The...

Sierra Leone vs Nigeria: Super Eagles fail to qualify for AFCON 2022 after stalemate

Image
  Nigeria failed to book a spot at the 2022 Africa Cup of Nations, following a 0-0 draw with Sierra Leone on Tuesday evening. A victory in Freetown would have seen the Super Eagles qualify with two games to spare. Earlier in the day, Lesotho and Benin Republic played out a goalless draw. A win for Gernot Rohr’s men would have taken them up to 10 points and ensure they finish in the top two positions in Group L no matter what. Nigeria still top the group with eight points, while Benin Republic are in second place with seven. Sierra Leone have three points and Lesotho are bottom with two. On Match Day 5, the Eagles are away to Benin Republic, where they can finally claim a ticket to the tournament.

Russell Simmons 2018 rape lawsuit dismissed by Judge

Image
  A rape lawsuit filed in 2018 against Russell Simmons has been dismissed by a judge for falling outside the statute of limitations.  In a decision filed last Friday, L.A. Superior Court Judge Mark Epstein dismissed the case because the suit was filed at least four years too late for an incident that allegedly took place in 1988.  According to the ruling, the statute of limitations would have expired at the latest in 2014. Last month, Epstein issued an order that gave the anonymous Jane Doe two weeks to file an opposition to Simmons’ motion that the case be dismissed for falling outside the statute of limitations. But Doe didn't file an opposition to the motion, so Epstein held his Oct. 1 order for two weeks to give her time to respond. She didn't, and on Nov. 13 he entered judgment in Simmons' favor. “Having received no response from Plaintiff during the two weeks following the entry of that minute order; it is ordered, adjudged, and decree...
