 Atiku pledges scholarship to viral Niger teen miner Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar on Sunday said his “heart breaks” each time he watches a viral video of a teenage artisanal miner, Yusuf Aliyu, speaking at a mining site in Niger State after the deaths of 37 miners in the state. Atiku, in a statement posted on his X handle, said he was prepared to support the boy’s education, describing him as a child whose intelligence and confidence should be nurtured in a classroom rather than by working at a mining site. “I have watched Yusuf Aliyu’s video repeatedly, and each time, my heart breaks. A child with such intelligence, clarity and confidence should be in a classroom building his future—not struggling for survival in a community surrounded by gold but buried in poverty. “I cannot look at him and see an ‘illegal miner.’ I see a Nigerian child failed by the country that should have protected him. I see brilliance trapped by poverty and enormous promise abandoned by leadership,” ...

 Tesla CEO Elon Musk wins $55 billion compensation package in Delaware court ruling

Elon Musk, already the world’s richest person, secured a massive financial victory Friday when the Delaware Supreme Court overturned a prior ruling that had stripped him of a $55 billion pay package awarded by Tesla in 2018 as an incentive to grow the company.

The reversal not only adds to Musk’s current fortune of $679 billion but also validates his long-standing assertion that the Delaware court overstepped its authority when Chancellor Kathaleen St. Jude McCormick rescinded the package in January 2024 following a lawsuit from a Tesla shareholder. Tesla did not immediately comment.

The 2024 ruling had angered Musk enough to prompt him to reincorporate Tesla in Texas, creating pressure on the board to reassure their CEO. Shareholders later voted to reinstate the pay package, which had been valued at $44.9 billion during the second vote 18 months ago.

Musk’s compensation story continued this year with a new pay package that could reach $1 trillion if he boosts Tesla’s market value from $1.6 trillion to $8.5 trillion over the next decade, a plan shareholders approved last month.

When the 2018 package was first created, Tesla’s market value was between $50 billion and $75 billion, and the company was still grappling with production challenges and cash flow concerns. Over time, improved manufacturing and strong sales helped Tesla meet the performance targets tied to Musk’s payout.

McCormick had originally ruled the package was improperly structured, citing a board too closely aligned with Musk, including evidence from his 2022 testimony. The Delaware Supreme Court, in a 49-page decision, found multiple errors in that ruling, restored the 2018 compensation package, and awarded Tesla $1 in nominal damages.
