Elon Musk set to be world's first trillionaire as Tesla backs record S1T package

Elon Musk is on track to become the world’s first trillionaire following shareholder approval of a potential $1 trillion compensation package from Tesla, Inc..

The plan, backed by over 75% of voters, hinges on Musk guiding Tesla’s market value to $8.5 trillion by 2035, delivering 20 million vehicles annually, deploying 1 million robotaxis and humanoid robots, and achieving $400 billion in annual earnings for four straight quarters.

While the award only becomes his if all performance milestones are met, its sheer scale has sparked debate over governance and power concentration in one individual.

I wanted to find out where Walmart's beef comes from, so I visited a Walmart store in Oregon to see what information I could find in the beef department and the packaging. Earlier this week, I published an article on NewsBreak sharing about where Kroger has been sourcing its beef from - Where Kroger Is Getting Its Beef From Right Now - Here's What to Know. I have been wondering where other grocery stores are sourcing their meat from as well. So I went into a Walmart store in Oregon this morning to see what I could find.

5 Foods You Should Never Wash Before Cooking, According to USDA

Washing food usually sounds like a sensible safety step. But when certain raw foods are placed under a running faucet, that rinse can make your kitchen less safe -- not more. Water does not reliably remove the harmful bacteria that may be present on raw animal products. Instead, droplets can carry those germs into the sink, onto countertops and utensils, and even onto nearby food.

Tiffany Trump: The Apple That Didn't Fall Far From The Tree

I think we all know that there is something very off about the Trump dynasty, that sprawling American tragedy dressed up in Brioni suits and spray tans, where each act reveals fresh horrors that somehow manage to surpass the last. Donald Trump himself is a menacing wonder to behold on so many levels, a figure so cartoonishly malevolent that fiction writers would reject him as too implausible. Normally, one would argue that dragging politicians' children into the spotlight crosses an ethical line, after all, most didn't choose the glare of public scrutiny. But the Trump offspring? They don't just seek the spotlight; they sprint toward it with the desperation of moths to a flame.

I use AI to help draft these articles. Every recipe and every fact in them is checked before publishing. The prom ended at midnight, the gym went dark, and the real night started in the parking lot. By 1 a.m., every booth in the closest all-night diner was full of kids still in formalwear: cummerbunds loosened, heels kicked off, corsages pinned to the vinyl seat back. The food was the best part of the whole evening. Nobody was sleepy and nobody was going home.
