'Cannabis king' to Thailand prime minister: Anutin Charnvirakuls' political rise linked to nation's hemp legalisation revolution

<p>Elon Musk, who has achieved the title of the richest person in the world, could soon become the world’s first trillionaire. This would be possible if he meets the performance goals as per a proposal by the Tesla board on Friday (Sep 5). If the pay package is approved by the shareholders in a vote on November 6, the new proposal could allow the CEO to earn unprecedented sums of money.</p><h2><strong>What is in the new proposal?</strong></h2><p>According to Tesla’s board, the plan is linked with Musk’s ability to transform the company from an electric vehicle manufacturer into an AI and technology-driven powerhouse with expansion in areas like autonomous systems, artificial intelligence products and robotics, The New York Times reported. The plan is expected to be put to a vote at an annual meeting on November 6.</p><h2><strong>Can Musk become a trillionaire?</strong></h2><p>Currently, Musk has a net worth of more than $400 billion, as per Forbes. The new pay could add an additional $900 billion to his wealth. However, it is only possible if the value of Tesla stocks increases significantly in the coming years.</p><p>To achieve this, the company’s stock would need to reach an overall value of $8.5 trillion. This is significantly higher than the current market capitalisation of $1.1 trillion and roughly double the current market value of Nvidia, the most valuable company on the market as of now. Tesla (TSLA) shares were slightly higher in premarket trading on the news.</p><p>Musk would need to remain at Tesla for at least seven and a half years to cash any of the shares, and 10 years to gain the full amount. He would need to meet various ambitious operational milestones, including commercial deployment of a million autonomous taxis and humanoid robots. He would also need to increase his profit by 24-fold.</p><h2><strong>Challenges faced by Musk</strong></h2><p>The elaborate pay plan is also expected to be slammed by some shareholders, who have alleged that the CEO has performed poorly in recent years. Musk has faced increasing criticism, especially for his role in the US President Donald Trump’s government as the head of the Department of Government Efficiency, which has damaged the company.&nbsp;</p>

Elon Musk, the richest person, could become the world’s first trillionaire if he is able to achieve the milestones laid down under the new proposal by the Tesla Board. Here’s how:

If the pay package is approved by the shareholders in a vote on November 6, the new proposal could allow the CEO to earn unprecedented sums of money. What is in the new proposal? According to Tesla’s board, the plan is linked with Musk’s ability to transform the company from an electric vehicle manufacturer into an AI and technology-driven powerhouse with expansion in areas like autonomous systems, artificial intelligence products and robotics, The New York Times reported. The plan is expected to be put to a vote at an annual meeting on November 6. Can Musk become a trillionaire? Currently, Musk has a net worth of more than $400 billion, as per Forbes. The new pay could add an additional $900 billion to his wealth. However, it is only possible if the value of Tesla stocks increases significantly in the coming years. To achieve this, the company’s stock would need to reach an overall value of $8.5 trillion. This is significantly higher than the current market capitalisation of $1.1 trillion and roughly double the current market value of Nvidia, the most valuable company on the market as of now. Tesla (TSLA) shares were slightly higher in premarket trading on the news. Musk would need to remain at Tesla for at least seven and a half years to cash any of the shares, and 10 years to gain the full amount. He would need to meet various ambitious operational milestones, including commercial deployment of a million autonomous taxis and humanoid robots. He would also need to increase his profit by 24-fold. Challenges faced by Musk The elaborate pay plan is also expected to be slammed by some shareholders, who have alleged that the CEO has performed poorly in recent years. Musk has faced increasing criticism, especially for his role in the US President Donald Trump’s government as the head of the Department of Government Efficiency, which has damaged the company.

<p>Elon Musk, the richest person, could become the world’s first trillionaire if he is able to achieve the milestones laid down under the new proposal by the Tesla Board. Here’s how:</p>

<p>Archaeologists have found the earliest evidence of humans living through the Ice Ages, dating back to 700,000 years ago. This time period was one of northern Europe’s most extreme ice ages, and researchers say that they have proof that humans lived in Britain at this time. The discovery was made during excavations done at Old Park along the River Stour in Canterbury, Kent. The Cambridge University archaeologists published their findings in Nature Ecology and Evolution. Their findings show that an early human species, named Homo heidelbergensis, resided in the region between 712,000 and 621,000 years ago. This species is believed to be the ancestor of Neanderthals.

<p>Hawaii's Kilauea volcano erupted once again on September 2, triggering a warning about "Pele's hair". This is the third time the volcano has spewed lava since December 2024, leading the US Geological Survey (USGS) to give it the name Episode 32. Located at Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park, the Kilauea volcano eruption continued for over 13 hours and stopped at 2:01 am ET. The lava spewed in the eruption went up as high as 500 feet, and created a cloud of smoke that rose 10,000 feet above Hawaii's Big Island. At the summit of the volcano is a crater called Halemaʻumaʻu that is shaped like a bowl. The lava released was so much that it covered 40 to 50 per cent of the crater. However, the hot lava itself does not pose any danger to the people on the island, as per the USGS. But, it has warned about "Pele's hair", an aftermath of volcanic eruptions.</p><h2><strong>What is Pele's hair?</strong></h2><p>According to the USGS, the lava can turn into tiny shards and travel for miles, and pose a threat to humans who come in contact with this "Pele's hair." These strands look like thin glass and enter the water, flowing down for nearly 20 kilometres. Coming in contact with them can cause skin and eye irritation. They can also enter drinking water, creating further problems. People near the Big Island have been told to stay away from the site and the national park.

New images of the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS are finally showing a visible cometary tail, putting at least some speculation about the visitor to an end. However, several questions remain unanswered about the object that has captivated the imagination of astronomers across the world.

<p>A cold case in the US that dates back more than 50 years has led to a shocking discovery in the Chicago River. The police stumbled upon 97 cars in the river while searching for only one linked to a missing case.

<p>Conspiracy theories around local German elections took off after 16 politicians who were due to stand in the polls scheduled for September 14, suddenly died.

Wild conspiracy theories started doing the rounds in the country after the shocking deaths. Of the candidates who passed away, seven were from the AfD party, while one person each was from the SPD, the Social and Democratic Alternative (SDA), the FDP, the Greens, the Animal Welfare Party, the Independent Voters' Association (UWG), the Free Voters, the Referendum Party, and a voter group.

<p>Lalbaugcha Raja is not just a Ganpati idol; it is an emotion for every resident of Mumbai and Maharashtra. Every year during Ganesh Chaturthi, thousands of devotees line up to seek blessings at the iconic pandal in Parel, Mumbai. On Wednesday (Sep 3), the famous pandal witnessed a surprising moment when comedian Samay Raina and Balraj Singh Ghai, the owner of The Habitat, arrived for darshan. But what shocked fans even more was the presence of Shiv Sena leader Rahool Kanal, who was once linked to the alleged vandalism of The Habitat studio in Khar, Mumbai.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Balraj later shared pictures from the visit on Instagram. In his post, he wrote that he has let go of the past and is moving forward with the blessings of Lord Ganesha. “With blessings of Bappa, we put down the past and move forward together into a brighter future. This was my first visit to Lalbaugcha Raja, and it was an amazing experience,” he shared.</p>

Many were shocked to see Balraj alongside Rahool, recalling the 2024 incident when The Habitat, a popular comedy venue, was targeted after comedian Kunal Kamra’s remarks about Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. “Wasn’t he the same guy who broke The Habitat?” one fan asked. Another commented, “Why is Balraj hanging out with the one who destroyed Habitat?”</p><h2>Mixed reactions on social media</h2><p>While several people criticised the move, others saw it as a positive gesture. Comedian Munawar Faruqui praised the reunion, writing, “Comedy always unites. Both are brothers.” Some fans also felt that only Lord Ganesha could have made this unlikely meeting possible. Meanwhile, the official handle of Habitat commented, ‘A collab we didn’t expect'.</p>

<p>Rahool Kanal, a Yuva Sena leader, was arrested during the Habitat incident but was released on bail the same day. The controversy had left Mumbai’s comedy community heartbroken, as the venue was considered a hub for stand-up artists.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Now, a year later, seeing Balraj and Rahool together at Lalbaugcha Raja has sparked debate once again. Some see it as forgiveness, while others believe it could be a political understanding between the two.</p>

Comedian Samay Raina and Balraj Ghai surprised many as they visited Lalbaugcha Raja together during Ganesh Chaturthi, sparking debate among fans about old controversies.

Lalbaugcha Raja is not just a Ganpati idol; it is an emotion for every resident of Mumbai and Maharashtra. Every year during Ganesh Chaturthi, thousands of devotees line up to seek blessings at the iconic pandal in Parel, Mumbai. On Wednesday (Sep 3), the famous pandal witnessed a surprising moment when comedian Samay Raina and Balraj Singh Ghai, the owner of The Habitat, arrived for darshan. But what shocked fans even more was the presence of Shiv Sena leader Rahool Kanal, who was once linked to the alleged vandalism of The Habitat studio in Khar, Mumbai. Balraj later shared pictures from the visit on Instagram. In his post, he wrote that he has let go of the past and is moving forward with the blessings of Lord Ganesha. “With blessings of Bappa, we put down the past and move forward together into a brighter future. This was my first visit to Lalbaugcha Raja, and it was an amazing experience,” he shared.

<p>Amateur archaeologists made a sinister discovery under an abandoned building in Poland, and what they found remains shrouded in mystery. While looking for artefacts at Adolf Hitler’s secret military headquarters, the Wolfsschanze (Wolf’s Lair), they came across five decaying bodies with their hands and feet missing. The mutilated bodies were found at a villa that belonged to Nazi Party leader Hermann Göring. The gruesome finding was made by the Latebra Foundation, which has been scanning the Wolf's Lair for years. They found the bodies of three adults, an older child, and a baby buried just below the floor of Göring’s villa. The villa was abandoned in 1944 by the Nazi forces following an assassination attempt on Hitler.

Wolf’s Lair in Poland was a secretive location where Hitler's forces planned military campaigns. Five dead bodies with their hands and feet missing were found here recently. Some say they were killed as a sacrifice, while others think the bodies were there before the Lair was built.

Reports have indicated that at least three China-based technology companies have been linked to the hacks, working for Chinese military and intelligence agencies since at least 2019. The aim of the hacks was to identify and track their targets’ communications and movements around the world, including those of Trump and other leaders. https://www.wionews.com/videos/globalx-airline-used-for-trump-deportations-hacked-report-9041221/embed At least six US telecom companies were breached in Chinese hacks At least six US telecommunications companies were infiltrated by the hackers, who exploited old network vulnerabilities. The hackers also entered the networks of lodging and transportation companies. Companies like Marriott, health insurers, and the US Office of Personnel Management have been targeted by the hackers. In 2021, the Biden administration accused China of breaching Microsoft email systems. Russia has also conducted state-sponsored hacks. Western countries’ responses to Salt Typhoon remain unclear. According to Senator Mark Warner, top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, the hackers could “listen in on telephone conversations and read unencrypted text messages.” Why would Chinese hackers need data from all Americans? The strategy could be to collect vast data sets over years for eventual exploitation, the NYT report cited cybersecurity expert Jamie MacColl as saying. “If you’re a cyber power, then it makes sense you would want to compromise the global communications network.” Salt Typhoon is more than a one-off intelligence success for China, according to Anne Neuberger, a Biden administration cybersecurity official. It “reflected a deeper, troubling reality” of China positioning “to dominate the digital battle space.”

<p>A major Chinese cyberattack campaign called Salt Typhoon reportedly compromised data from nearly all Americans, infiltrating global telecoms, government, and infrastructure networks. This is a new warfare: years-long, patient, widespread and consistent attack on cyber infrastructure&nbsp;</p>
