And, incidentally, he’s the richest man in the galaxy, too. The irony is strong. Musk’s grandfather, Josh Haldeman, was the national leader of Technocracy, Inc. in Canada in the 1930s and 1940s. He had no fortune to speak of and no technical expertise. Now his grandson is the pioneer of the modern technology that is capturing the world for Technocracy, earning him the title (in my opinion) of Arch-Technocrat, and he has self-funded his rise to power. Now there is no stopping him. What is wrong with this picture? Does anyone get the idea that there is a demonic power behind him? ⁃ Patrick Wood, Editor.
Devil’s head, upside-down cross.
The market rally has since helped him restore his trillionaire status, a milestone he first acquired in June when Musk’s SpaceX officially went public in a historic IPO. As the rocket and artificial intelligence company blockbuster secured a near $2.2 trillion market cap with its Nasdaq debut, its CEO’s fortune was boosted by $188 billion at the time, briefly making Musk worth a record $1.2 trillion.
At one point during the June 16 trading day, Musk’s net worth even briefly hit its whopping all-time high of $1.45 trillion. However, a subsequent SpaceX stock slump, the world’s richest person lost his trillionaire badge, according to Forbes’ estimates at the time.
This Monday, however, as he again became the sole resident of the trillionaire club, his net worth hit $1 trillion–still below his one-time, short-lived net worth peak in June. The sudden jump in the figure accounted for a $30.6 billion rise over Friday, the last day the stock market was open.
Net worth gap between world’s top richest people explodes
The staggering fortune jump especially blew wide open the net worth between him and the world’s second-richest person, Jeff Bezos.The Amazon founder now sits at a distant No. 2 spot with a net worth of $371.5 billion, according to Forbes.
According to the Forbes’ Real-Time Billionaires list, last updated at 9:50 pm EDT, October 5, Musk’s net worth was still $1 trillion, while Bezos’ estimated fortune slumped slightly to $371.1 billion. This creates a more than $620 billion net worth gap between the world’s No. 1 and No. 2 wealthiest people.
What fuelled Elon Musk’s re-entry into the trillionaire world?
Though already a spotlight-magnet, the now-trillioniare tech mogul is set to occupy the media headlines in a different light due to the forthcoming release of an eponymously-titled documentary in US theatres on October 16. The docu-film “Musk” is expected to dig deeper into the “controversial” tag, often associated with the Tesla chief executive.
He recently also made prominent news for making his Trump administration comeback, even if in a limited capacity, over a year after giving up his special government employee status as the former head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). During an event at Quantico, US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth announced that Musk had been enlisted to co-head Project Meridian. The new initiative will help the Pentagon determine which weapons and technology could boost US warfare in the future.
The tech trillionaire was also spotted at back-to-back events at the White House. First at the state dinner hosting Chinese leader Xi Jinping and then a luncheon with Trump and several other tech leaders amid the rise in mainstream focus on AI safety concerns.
Despite all headline-making buzz, his net worth boost was ultimately directly tied to his business empire’s stock rally.
On Monday morning (US time), Tesla’s stock price continues to climb more than 1%, while SpaceX’s stock price went up by more than 5% to a share price of $167 as of 10:30 am EDT, according to Forbes.
These respective gains came after Musk said Sunday that SpaceXAI would be renamed “SpaceXSI,” in line with President Trump’s rebrand of AI to “super intelligence.”
Moreover, the rocket-maker has even been enjoying a slew of successful launches, including four crew members of NASA’s SpaceX Crew-13 taking off Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida for a science expedition aboard the International Space Station. Another mission involved Starship and Super Heavy megarocket reaching orbit for the first time on September 28.
Meanwhile, on the Tesla side, the US electric-vehicle giant’s stock developments succeeded the company posting 486,532 third-quarter deliveries, surpassing expectations. The recent figure release has sparked hope for the automaker potentially parting ways with declining sales, something it has suffered from for the past two straight years.
The latest wave of right-wing governments have learned to love Zionism—even as most residents feel the opposite. Support for Israel is a low-cost way of signaling fealty to Washington & especially the Trump administration… Zionist outreach has built a religious infrastructure for pro-Israel politics
Au Mondial de l'auto de Paris, plus d'un tiers des constructeurs automobiles présents sont chinois. Ces marques représentent, aujourd'hui, 10 % des ventes dans l'Union européenne (UE).

The Houthis (Ansar Allah) on October 12 released footage they said showed their fighters clearing Saudi-backed forces from the remaining areas of Jabal Habashi district, the al-Birin Triangle and the Yafrus junction in Yemen’s southwestern Taiz province.
The footage showed close-range fighting, surprise attacks and fighters advancing into opposing positions and trenches. It also depicted the use of automatic rifles, sniper rifles, machine guns and 82 mm and 120 mm mortars, alongside the capture of several fighters, weapons and military vehicles.
The Houthi military media said the group’s fighters had driven Saudi-backed forces from the three locations and secured the areas.
Pressure on Saudi-backed forces around Taiz continues to intensify, with fighting on multiple fronts and reported Houthi movements toward the city’s western approaches.
The recent advances tightened the encirclement of government-aligned positions and restricted their movement between frontlines.
Alongside the fighting, tribal leaders in Jabal Saber, south of Taiz city, have been holding negotiations with Houthi forces over a possible handover of local areas without fighting, according to Yemeni media reports. The reported talks aim to prevent villages from becoming military positions or launching points for attacks and to spare populated areas further destruction. No agreement or transfer of control had been confirmed in the reports.
The combination of Houthi advances on the western approaches and negotiations over Jabal Saber indicates the battle for Taiz city is drawing near. The Houthis maintain the upper hand. However, the difficult terrain and the high urban density of the city could play in favor of the defenders.
The Kremlin on Monday declined to comment on President Trump’s claim that an agreement had been reached between Russia and Ukraine to halt strikes on each other’s energy infrastructure, as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky accused Moscow of continuing to hit energy targets.

The Denver Nuggets revealed new uniforms Monday that will honor the 50th anniversary of the ABA-NBA merger.
According to the Nuggets, the new uniforms are part of a season-long celebration to honor the merger, which brought the Nuggets into the NBA.
The new uniforms will be worn for nine games this season, according to the team, with seven of those games played at Ball Arena.
Check out the uniform below
The ABA franchise was established in 1967 as the Denver Rockets, and the nickname was changed to the Nuggets in 1974 in anticipation of a merger to avoid a conflict with the NBA's Houston Rockets.
The new uniforms are a modernized take on the Denver Rockets' orange road uniform and feature the Rockets original logo on the shorts and the arched "Denver" on the jersey.
The team will also have a special court for the games.
Merchandise with the ABA-inspired colors will also go on sale Monday, Oct. 19.
The games when the uniforms will be worn are:
Dec. 27 vs. Indiana Jan. 21 vs. Washington Feb. 4 vs. Dallas Feb. 11 vs. Chicago March 1 vs. Brooklyn March 3 vs. San Antonio April 8 vs. Los Angeles Clippers

Il "Melonellum" è legge: siete pronti alla guerra?
Pomeriggio del 12 ottobre, mobilitazione in Piazza Capranica, nei pressi di Montecitorio, indetta da Agorà contro la Legge Elettorale approvata pochi giorni fa alla Camera.
Una presa d'assalto del Parlamento, dicono i manifestanti, fortemente anticostituzionale, che rende i luoghi che appartengono alla volontà popolare fortezze di un bipolarismo posticcio che ha un unico obiettivo: la guerra Nato e quella di Israele al resto del mondo.
Aderiscono Democrazia Sovrana Popolare, sindacato Fisi, Potere al popolo, Sanitari per Gaza, Assopace Palestina, molte altre sigle, giornalisti e cittadini che denunciano come il "Melonellum" sia non solo sia finalizzato ad erodere la democrazia del nostro paese, quello che resta almeno, ma soprattutto l'obiettivo finale sia la militarizzazione della società allo scopo di non trovare alcun dissenso alle logiche belliche e di sterminio.
Tra gli intervistati il professor Angelo D'Orsi, i giornalisti Fulvio Grimaldi e Andrea Lucidi.
Quem tem Mafia III no PlayStation 4 ou no Xbox One pode jogar a versão nativa do game no PlayStation 5 e no Xbox Series X|S sem pagar nada. A 2K e o estúdio Hangar 13 liberaram na quinta-feira (08/10) a nova edição para os consoles atuais, com 60 quadros por segundo, para marcar os 10 anos do jogo, lançado em 2016.
Segundo a PlayStation LifeStyle, a atualização gratuita vale para quem tem Mafia III: Definitive Edition no PS4, em disco ou digital, e também para quem já comprou a coletânea Mafia: The Omertà Collection. De acordo com o Game Informer, os donos do jogo no Xbox One também recebem a versão nova. Quem ainda não tem o título encontra o jogo com 80% de desconto nas lojas digitais, por tempo limitado.
O que muda
A Definitive Edition reúne o jogo principal, as três expansões de história (Faster, Baby!, Stones Unturned e Sign of the Times) e dois pacotes de bônus. Além dos 60 quadros, a versão corrige travamentos, falhas de progresso em missões, o registro de troféus e conquistas, o comportamento de personagens e problemas de textura e iluminação.
Nem tudo roda mais liso. Algumas cenas de cinema continuam a 30 quadros por segundo, porque são vídeos pré-gravados. A versão de PC no Steam também recebeu uma atualização separada, com correções.
A Definitive Edition existe desde 2020, quando o jogo foi relançado com todo o conteúdo extra de história. Até agora, porém, não havia versão própria para o PS5 e o Xbox Series X|S.
