The U.S. struck Venezuela overnight and captured i

The U.S. struck Venezuela overnight and captured its long-serving President Nicolas Maduro, President Donald Trump said early on Saturday after months of pressuring him over accusations of drug-running and illegitimacy in power.

Washington has not made such a direct intervention in Latin America since the invasion of Panama in 1989 to depose military leader Manuel Noriega, over similar allegations.

"The United States of America has successfully carried out a large scale strike against Venezuela and its leader, President Nicolas Maduro, who has been, along with his wife, captured and flown out of the country," Trump said in a Truth Social post.

The U.S. had accused Maduro of running a "narco-state" and rigging last year's election, which the opposition said it won overwhelmingly. The Venezuelan leader, who succeeded Hugo Chavez to take power in 2013, has said Washington wants to take control of Venezuela's oil reserves, the largest in the world.

Just four days after becoming the first person eve

Just four days after becoming the first person ever worth $600 billion, Elon Musk became the first person ever worth $700 billion on Friday, after the Delaware Supreme Court overturned a lower court ruling that had voided an award of Tesla stock options now worth $139 billion to Musk.

Forbes estimates that Musk’s fortune now stands at a record $749 billion after he successfully appealed the decision. After the ruling, Tesla is Musk’s most valuable asset once again. In addition to his stock options, he also owns 12% of the EV maker’s common stock, worth $199 billion, bringing the total value of his Tesla holdings to $338 billion.

Musk’s second most valuable asset, his estimated 42% stake in SpaceX, is now worth $2 billion less than his Tesla holdings (at an estimated $336 billion), based on a private tender offer launched this month that valued Musk’s rocket maker at $800 billion.

SpaceX is moving forward with an insider share sal

SpaceX is moving forward with an insider share sale that values Elon Musk’s rocket and satellite maker at about $800 billion, setting up what could be the largest initial public offering of all time.

In a company message seen by Bloomberg on Friday, SpaceX said it’s preparing for a possible public offering in 2026 that would be aimed at funding an “insane flight rate” for its developmental Starship rocket, artificial intelligence data centers in space and a base on the moon.

The per-share price of $421 in its latest secondary offering, laid out by Chief Financial Officer Bret Johnsen in the memo to shareholders, is nearly double the $212 a share set in July at a $400 billion valuation.

The valuation vaults past the previous record of $500 billion that ChatGPT owner OpenAI set in October, making SpaceX once again the world’s most valuable closely held company.

President Trump said on Thursday his administratio

President Trump said on Thursday his administration may cut income tax completely over the next two years because of the government revenue generated from tariffs.

“Over the next couple ‍of years, I think we’ll substantially be cutting and maybe cutting out completely,‌ but we’ll be cutting income tax. Could be almost completely cutting it because the money we’⁠re taking in is going to be so large,” Trump told US ⁠military service members on a video call.
