Elon Musk could become the world's first trillionaire as his spaceflight company, SpaceX, prepares to go public this month in what would be the largest stock market debut in history. SpaceX is seeking to raise up to $75 billion (£55 billion) by selling 555.6 million shares at $135 each, which would give the company a market value of $1.77 trillion. According to the amended prospectus, Musk's voting power will come primarily through his ownership of 5.22 billion Class B shares, which carry 10 votes per share. Following the offering, Musk would hold 82.4 percent of the company's voting power. Forbes currently estimates Musk's net worth at $826 billion, with his stake in SpaceX valued at $542 billion. A $1.77 trillion valuation would boost his net worth by $223 billion, making him a trillionaire. Despite the blockbuster ambitions, SpaceX continues to operate at a loss. The filing shows the company lost $2.6 billion from operations last year on $18.7 billion in revenue, wit...

The Karim-Lamido Local Government Area of Taraba State has imposed a 24-hour curfew following a fresh wave of killings and destruction of property by suspected armed militia groups. The suspected militia, it was gathered, has carried out several attacks on Wurkum communities around Didango, Mutum Daya, Kodai, Gurum and other neighbouring settlements, leaving several people dead and forcing many residents to flee.

In a statement, Mrs Bambur said the decision had become necessary due to the worsening violence, continued attacks and loss of lives and property. She directed all security agencie...

The Nigerian Police Force has arrested Ifechukwu Dennis, the man alleged to be the originator of an AI-generated voice note that was widely circulated online as a leaked recording of President Bola Tinubu. Presidential Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, announced the arrest in a post shared on his official X account on Thursday, June 4. “The IGP crack team has arrested Ifechukwu Dennis who originated the fake voice that he passed on to his gullible targets as President Tinubu’s voice. Dennis was arrested in Benin. The police will issue an official statement.''

Actor and chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Kenneth Okonkwo, says ahead of the 2027 election, any vote for the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, presidential candidate, Peter Obi, is a vote for president Bola Tinubu. Okonkwo made this statement in an interview with Symfoni. “It’s either you are working for Tinubu directly or indirectly because when you divide the votes of some of the coalition or the opposition, you are still making Tinubu to win. Nobody forced Peter Obi to enter the ADC. He entered on his own, and one week to the end of the closure of time, he left and gave reasons. What reason was that? You cannot compete in primaries and you want to be a president of a challenged country. Let me tell you the truth, in 2027, anybody voting for Peter Obi is voting for Tinubu. Don’t say that I didn’t tell you.” he said
