It took Tesla 12 years to get to this mark after its first public offering, making it the second-fastest company to reach $1 trillion, following Facebook, which took nine years. Tesla has also surpassed Facebook—which is down to $927 billion—on Monday.

Musk’s net worth is largely due to his 21 percent stake in Tesla, which he helped launch almost 20 years ago.

H.E.R. Addresses Talk of a Supergroup With SZA & Ella Mai

It began, as many music conversations now do, with a single post. On February 19, an X user proposed that SZA, H.E.R., and Ella Mai form a trio called S.H.E., a tidy acronym that seemed almost too fitting to ignore.

Some fans imagined adding Ari Lennox to expand the lineup, while others playfully suggested entirely

Tributes from former co‑stars and collaborators describe him as generous on set and highlight the emotional weight he brought to roles like Cal Jacobs on Euphoria, with many recalling his range as the reason his characters stayed with viewers long after an episode ended.

WILLOW Enters a New Era with Genre‑Bending Project ‘petal rock black’

WILLOW is officially in her petal rock black era, dropping a new project that pushes her even further from her pop‑radio origins and deeper into experimental rock and alt‑soul. Released as a surprise, petal rock black arrives with a moody visual aesthetic and cryptic teases that match the album’s inward‑looking, guitar‑heavy sound. The project builds on the emo, pop‑punk and alt textures of her recent work but layers in heavier, more psychedelic instrumentation, with WILLOW leaning into riff‑dr
