Elon Musk's wealth has surpassed $200 billion.

IT TAKES SECONDS TO SHARE: A woman, 58, has been missing out of Peoria for nearly a week with a small white dog named Chloe, says police on Jan. 19. Anyone with information on her whereabouts is asked to the Peoria Police at 623-773-7045. https://t.co/sq5f8ziTCf
