BREAKING: Elon Musk has become the world's first trillionaire.

After SpaceX raised a record $75 billion in its IPO, Musk’s net worth shot up to top $1.1 trillion when the stock began trading Friday, putting him in an economic class of his own.

Combined with his holdings in electric vehicle maker Tesla, as well as other investments and assets, Musk's net worth is now estimated at about $1.1 trillion.

Musk's stake in the rocket and satellite company alone is now estimated at a staggering $690 billion, but it's also a life-changing moment for thousands of workers at the company who hold equity.

Investors who watched Musk help turn Tesla into an automotive giant are now betting he can do the same in space and artificial intelligence, as SpaceX launches the largest IPO in history.

Last weekend, many doctors travelled to Bondo to stand with a colleague and friend as he laid his father to rest. It was meant to be a day of mourning, remembrance, and community.

Then, right outside Yieke Primary School where the send-off ceremony was taking place, tragedy struck.
We heard a scream. Then a crash followed by silence.

People rushed towards the scene to find a child lying unconscious, one man bleeding profusely, and another injured and struggling to walk. In moments like these, instinct takes over. Doctors are trained to save lives, and several immediately stepped forward to help.

The unconscious child was rushed to hospital on a motorbike. Not because it was the safest way to transport a trauma patient, but because it was the only option available in that moment. Another doctor offered his personal vehicle to transport the severely injured man to this same Bondo Sub-County Hospital. Several other doctors followed behind, hoping that once the patients arrived, they would receive the emergency care they desperately needed.

That is when the nightmare began. The doctors arrived at the hospital only to discover that there were no gloves. No basic emergency supplies. No essential medications needed to stabilize critically injured patients. Doctors who had travelled hundreds of kilometres from Nairobi for a funeral suddenly found themselves pooling their own money to purchase the most basic necessities required to save lives. Just imagine that.

Critically injured patients and healthcare workers willing and ready to help. Yet the system had failed at the most fundamental level.

That is why it is difficult not to feel a deep sense of fury when we see state-of-the-art funeral parlor being commissioned in facilities that cannot guarantee gloves, emergency drugs, or basic trauma supplies.

The purpose of a health system is first and foremost to preserve life. Dignified care in death matters, but it should never come before the essentials needed to save the living.

As a country, we should be deeply troubled by this because too often we lack the basics that make the difference between life and death.

Good morning,

WAKE UP!

No one is coming to rescue you.

• Not the government,

• Not your friends,

• Not luck.

The life you want is hidden behind work, sacrifice, discipline, and consistency.

Today is another opportunity to move one step closer.

Get up and go after it.

Then in 2016, Estama company imported 100 containers and called them mobile clinics.

Painted them so well.

The company bought each at KSH 1.2 Million and sold to the Ministry of Health at KSH 10 million each, making a profit of Ksh 9 million per container.

The crooks were paid KSH 1 billion from the government and dumped the containers in Mombasa and Nairobi, and vanished.

Nobody has been convicted.

The heist just died silently.

We have gone through a lot.

Dr David Ndii @DavidNdii has just published one of the most explosive political essays in Kenya’s recent history.

Not because of insults.
Not because of headlines.

But because he directly challenges what he calls:
“Uthamaki bogeyman politics.”

Ndii argues that for decades, sections of Kenya’s political elite maintained internal Kikuyu class control by creating external political enemies whenever succession politics emerged.

According to him, the strategy repeatedly relied on:
• fear,
• siege mentality,
• ethnic mobilization,
• and political “bogeymen.”

He traces this pattern from:
• the Jaramogi fallout,
• Moi succession politics,
• 1992 violence,
• Kibaki-era nationalism,
• ICC politics,
• all the way to the current hostility toward President Ruto.

His central argument is provocative:

That parts of the Mt Kenya elite historically used ethnic fear narratives to suppress deeper internal tensions around:
• land,
• class inequality,
• dynastic power,
• and economic control.

Ndii further argues that William Ruto is now facing the same “bogeyman” treatment previously directed at:
• Jaramogi Odinga,
• Daniel arap Moi,
�� and Raila Odinga at different moments in Kenyan history.

The deeper message is this:

Kenya’s political battles are not always simply tribe versus tribe.

Sometimes they are:
• class struggles,
• succession struggles,
• elite survival struggles,
• and contests over economic power

hidden beneath ethnic mobilization.

His most sensitive attack targets what he describes as:
• dynastic entitlement,
• historical land concentration,
• and attempts to maintain post-presidency influence over the state.

The article also signals something politically important:

Some of President Ruto’s closest ideological allies are now openly framing the 2027 political contest not merely as:
• government vs opposition

but increasingly as:
• anti-dynasty vs dynastic restoration.

Whether one agrees with Ndii or not, the essay matters because it publicly surfaces conversations that are usually confined to:
• elite circles,
• closed political meetings,
• and ethnic succession calculations.

And the final question he asks may become one of the defining political debates heading toward 2027:

“What exactly has Uthamaki done for ordinary Kikuyus — and how has Ruto personally wronged them?”

I went to visit my uncle this afternoon.

But he has really bashed me.

That my clock is ticking, yet I do not own a ranch.

He wondered where I take my money, and yet I do not drink.

I kept quiet the whole time.
Then he finally dropped the line I had been waiting for.

- Jitetee sasa. What is your excuse?

I immediately pulled out my phone. Opened my investment app. And handed it to him.
Then told him:

- Uncle, what you are looking at is my portfolio of shares in great companies. Nataka ifike mita siku moja.

He listened very keenly. I thought I was finally about to receive the legendary: Congratulations my son.

Instead, he leaned back. Looked at me. Then asked.

- That's OK. But what are stocks and shares in Kikuyu?

I had never thought about it. I froze.

He told me to take my time.

Eventually, I gave up. And told him to answer his own question.

He smiled. Then said.

- Stocks and shares do not have a name in Kikuyu or any African languages.
- The colonizers invented these fancy slogans to make brokies think they are becoming wealthy by accumulating papers and numbers on screens.
- Meanwhile, they themselves are accumulating the real assets.

I asked him: What are real assets?

He replied:
- Land.
- Animals.
- Plants and foods.
- Water bodies et al

Things you can actually touch. These are the things that create wealth.

Then he concluded with a sentence that has refused to leave my head.

• Every African man must own real assets.

Is the old man right or wrong?

One of the most harmful ideas in the world is that someone else is responsible for fixing your life. 

I understand the appeal. 

If someone else broke it, shouldn't they fix it? 

Maybe. 

But while you wait for them to get around to it, your life keeps ticking away.

In 2008, Europe's economy was actually bigger than the US. 

Today the US is $30 trillion and the EU is stuck around $20 trillion. 

EU regulations create internal barriers equal to a 45% tariff on manufacturing and 110% on services. Europe is regulating itself into irrelevance.

Now think about Africa, where the regulatory burden is even heavier. If overregulation can cripple a rich continent, what do you think it does to a poor one?

ANDROID USERS, READ THIS!

Your phone says "Storage Full."
So you delete photos. Delete videos. Uninstall apps. Yet the storage barely moves.

That's because the real culprits aren't your photos or apps. it's the hidden junk Android quietly stores in the background

Here's how I cleaned my phone yesterday and recovered 35GB without deleting a single photo, video, app, or chat I actually use.

Here's exactly how I did it:

Fuel prices in Kenya may not drop in June despite global oil prices falling.

This comes after EPRA changed the formula used to price imported fuel, which may delay the impact of lower global fuel costs on local pump prices.
