🇺🇸Elon Musk has become the first person whose fortune has reached $400 billion, Bloomberg reports.
The latest catalyst, the agency writes, was an insider sale of shares in his private company SpaceX, which, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, saw Musk's net worth skyrocket by about $50 billion to $439.2 billion.
Musk's fortune has changed dramatically since late 2022, when at one point his net worth fell by more than $200 billion. But it has risen particularly sharply recently, following Donald Trump's election victory, the agency notes.

He blamed the US and Israel for this.
"The events that took place in Syria were undoubtedly orchestrated in the command headquarters of the US and Israel.

The FSB reports the arrest in Moscow of the organizers of fraudulent call centers, whose victims, it is claimed, were citizens of more than 20 countries and through which tens of millions of dollars were stolen.
The FSB claims that the call centers operated under the control of the well-known drug lord Yegor Burkin (aka "The Mexican").
Burkin is known for creating a huge network of drug production and trade in Russia and Ukraine (Khimprom). He also owns fraudulent call centers in Ukraine, being one of the largest players in this market.

🇺🇸🇨🇦Donald Trump continues to openly troll Canada.
The newly elected US president called the country's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau "the governor of the state of Canada."
He wrote about this on the social network Truth Social.
"It was a pleasure to have dinner with Governor Justin Trudeau of the great state of Canada," Trump wrote.
He added that he looked forward to meeting with the "governor" in the near future to continue negotiations on tariffs and trade.
The issue concerns Trudeau's visit to the United States on November 29, which took place against the backdrop of the Republican's threats to impose tariffs on Canadian goods.
Trump has said he will impose 25% tariffs on goods from Canada and Mexico because of their failure to stem the flow of illegal immigrants and drugs from those countries into the United States.
Trump also previously stated that the United States must either stop subsidizing Canada and Mexico, or they must become new American states.
