Also Read Billionaires reap record $64B following Trump’s re-election The rise has been largely driven by Tesla, the stock of which increased 3.8% on Friday and has risen 45% since November 4, the day before the election, as investors feel optimistic about the Trump administration's plans for EV subsidies and legislation regarding self-driving electric cars, which could provide Tesla a competitive advantage. Since Tesla stock and options account for more than two-thirds of his net worth, Musk has seen significant gains from the soaring stock, surpassing the $340.4 billion record in net worth he established in 2021.

The company was valued at $50 billion in a recent investment round, more than doubling its value from six months ago, as Bloomberg reports. The quick expansion is ascribed by analysts to heightened investor interest fueled by Musk's strong ties to Trump, who claims to prioritize technical innovation in his policies. Musk's endeavor into space technology, SpaceX, is likewise seeing a spike. This week, the firm had a high-profile launch event that was attended by President Elect Trump and is in discussion to hold a private share sale, which could boost the company's value to more than $250 billion. Musk's political influence is also increasing. He and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy are set to run the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The agency intends to reduce bureaucracy and deregulate sectors, which might benefit Tesla and other Musk-led businesses that have fought with state-level regulations.

Vow ASA: Resolution to increase the share capital in connection with settlement of underwriting commission
Jim Montgomery was hired as coach of the NHL's St. Louis Blues on Sunday, five days after being fired as coach of the Boston Bruins. The 55-year-old Canadian, who guided Boston to an NHL record for wins and points in a season but never got past the second round of the playoffs, replaced Drew Bannister, who was fired after a 9-12-1 start by the Blues this season. An 8-9-3 start this season by the Bruins led to Montgomery's firing, but he signed a five-year contract with the Blues. "This was more an opportunity to get someone of Jim's caliber more than anything else," Blues president of hockey operations Doug Armstrong said. "We've had to deal with our situations off the ice with injuries and everyone deals with that, but this decision was based 100% on having someone of Jim's caliber becoming available when I didn't know that was going to happen." Montgomery is 180-84-33 as an NHL coach, having guided Dallas for two seasons and Boston for just over two campaigns, going 120-41-23 with the Bruins. In the 2022-23 season, the Bruins won an NHL record 65 games and compiled a record 135 points under Montgomery, who was named the NHL's Coach of the Year, but were upset by Florida in the first round of the playoffs. Boston also lost to the eventual 2024 Stanley Cup champions in last year's playoffs. Montgomery was dropped by the Bruins last Tuesday and replaced by Joe Sacco. "He certainly has a very positive demeanour, works well with the top players in the organizations that he's been with," Armstrong said. "He has a wealth of experience and he's at the prime of his coaching career." The Blues, who won the 2019 Stanley Cup, have missed the playoffs the past two seasons. Bannister went 39-31-6 as the Blues coach after replacing Craig Berube last December. Montgomery gets his first test with the Blues on Monday when they visit the New York Rangers. js/sev
In a mid-table clash at Carrow Road, home side Norwich City will play Plymouth Argyle in their 17th Championship game of the season on Tuesday. The Canaries are in poor form and reside in 13th place with 19 points following their 2-2 draw with West Bromwich Albion on Saturday and are two points and six places ahead of sixth last Plymouth, who shared the spoils with Watford on Friday after drawing 2-2. Both Norwich and West Brom created two big chances during their clash, with the sides also having an equal share of possession. The Canaries lost the prior three games to their draw against the Baggies, but they have not won any game since beating Hull City 4-0 in the Championship on October 5. Following his side's stalemate against West Brom, boss Johannes Hoff Thorup said that he felt his team had been conceding goals too easily recently, stating: "I think we have to look at that – we should not concede as many goals as we do at the moment. That's definitely something we need to improve." In their past six matches, Norwich have conceded 13 times and scored on eight occasions, whereas they had conceded just six goals in the prior six. Thorup's side have in fact allowed opponents to score 24 times in the Championship this season, and that figure makes them the league's joint sixth worst defensive team, though their tally of 25 goals netted makes them the division's joint fourth best offensive club. The hosts have a mixed record at home considering they have lost one, drawn four and won three of their eight most recent outings at Carrow Road. Meanwhile, Plymouth were fortunate to have earned a point against Watford given they required a 96th minute goal to avoid defeat, as well as the fact the Hornets created a number of good opportunities in the final third. However, manager Wayne Rooney felt his players deserved to leave the pitch with at least a point, telling reporters: "I was confident we could get a late goal, because we've done it a few times now and there is that belief, especially when the fans get behind you." Rooney's side are only two points ahead of 22nd-placed Hull City, who occupy the division's final relegation spot, but only three points separates his team from 11th-placed Derby County. The Pilgrims have drawn two and won one of their last three games, but they have only won once in their past seven fixtures. The visitors' away form has been poor for some time, with Plymouth having drawn two and lost seven of their nine matches on the road this season. The hosts will certainly be unable to call upon defender Kellen Fisher , who has accumulated too many yellow cards. Midfielders Anis Ben Slimane and Marcelino Nunez have been ruled out until late and early December respectively, so perhaps Norwich will start Jacob Lungi Sorensen , Emiliano Marcondes and Christian Fassnacht in the middle of the pitch. In the forward line, Ashley Barnes and Joshua Sargent are unavailable, and Throup could select Forson Amankwah , Ante Crnac and Borja Sainz in a front three given the prior two's absence. Plymouth will have to contend with injuries to goalkeeper Conor Hazard , as well as defenders Brendan Galloway and Joe Edwards . Rooney may start a back three of Kornel Szucs , Julio Pleguezuelo and Lewis Gibson in front of goalkeeper Daniel Grimshaw . Forward Morgan Whittaker was taken off as a result of injury against Watford, and he joins fellow attackers Ibrahim Cissoko and Muhamed Tijani on the treatment table. Callum Wright replaced Whittaker in the second half against the Hornets, and he may be joined in the forward line by Andre Gray and Michael Obafemi . Norwich City possible starting lineup: Gunn; Stacey, Duffy, Doyle, Hills; Sorensen, Marcondes, Fassnacht; Amankwah, Crnac, Sainz Plymouth Argyle possible starting lineup: Grimshaw; Szucs, Pleguezuelo, Gibson; Sorinola, Randell, Gyabi, Mumba; Whittaker, Gray, Obafemi Norwich are unlikely to keep a clean sheet given their poor defensive record, but it is difficult to see how Plymouth can prevent the Canaries from creating numerous chances in front of goal. Rooney's side were somewhat fortunate last time out, and it would not be surprising if they succumbed to defeat on Tuesday.

UN Watchdog to Investigate Sexual Misconduct Claims Against ICC ProsecutorSan Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy will not play Sunday and head coach Kyle Shanahan said the lingering discomfort is a concern. Purdy sat out Friday after he participated in the start of Thursday's practice with the 49ers, then retreated indoors for what Shanahan said was a treatment session. Brandon Allen, 32, will start in Purdy's place, and the 49ers are also without defensive end Nick Bosa (oblique). Shanahan said players believe in Allen, even if he's an unknown. "Outside of here people haven't seen a lot of Brandon. But it's his second year (with the 49ers)," Shanahan said. "Obviously guys want Brock up, but guys are excited to see Brandon play." Shanahan said they are "a little surprised" Purdy experienced tightness and discomfort in his shoulder after an MRI exam on Monday that showed no long-term cause for concern. "The way it responded this week, it's really up in the air for next week," Shanahan said of Purdy. Allen is familiar to Packers head coach Matt LaFleur, who was an assistant coach with the Rams during Allen's two-year run in Los Angeles. Allen broke into the NFL in 2016 with the Jaguars and is 2-7 in nine career starts. He went 1-2 with the Broncos in 2019 and 1-5 in six starts over two years with the Bengals in 2020 and ‘21. Shanahan said Allen's confidence grew throughout the week and he doesn't anticipate a major change in how he calls the offense. Left tackle Trent Williams (ankle) also missed practice for the third consecutive day. Without disclosing the nature of the ailment to Purdy's throwing shoulder, general manager John Lynch confirmed Friday an MRI exam took place to determine the severity of any injury. Allen worked with the first team most of Thursday and Friday with Joshua Dobbs also taking snaps. Lynch described Purdy's status for the 49ers (5-5) this week as "tenuous." "Hopefully, he makes progress, and we can have a shot at this weekend, but we'll see," Lynch said in an interview with KNBR in San Francisco. "I think it's tenuous." When Purdy was on the field this week, he primarily worked on the side in position-specific drills with QB coach Brian Griese. Williams played through an ankle injury last week after being listed as questionable but exited the stadium with an exaggerated limp on Sunday. Run game coordinator Chris Foerster said the 49ers aren't where they want to be at 5-5 because they haven't won close games, not because of injuries. "Seven games left is like an eternity," Foerster said. "So much can happen. Do the math. What was our record last year? It was 12-5. I was on a 13-win team that was nowhere near as good as the team last year." With or without Purdy, Foerster said the challenge for the 49ers is not to give up the ball to a defense that has 19 takeaways. The 49ers have 13 giveaways this season. --Field Level Media
The 49ers' playoff hopes are still teetering even after get-right game against the BearsCathaoirleach of Donegal County Council Niamh Kennedy has praised the heroics efforts of her hometown people after the devastating floods which struck Killybegs overnight. Parts of the town were left submerged under water after a local river overflowed during Storm Bert. At least 16 homes and a number of business on Bridge Street were left under several feet of water. Among the businesses hit was the popular local Bridge Street Community Shop which lost a lot of stock as a result of the rising waters. However, an amazing response from both the emergency services and local volunteers saw an amazing clean-up operation get underway. The Bridge Street Community Shop was one of the premises worst hit. This evening, although battered and bruised, Killybegs has fought back. Councillor Kennedy thanked all those who helped in any way following the freak flooding. She posted “Clean up started after the devastating flooding, sandbags, skips delivered, emptied and delivered again. “Generators and dehumidifiers are in place, people needing accommodation sorted and community welfare assistance for the Bridge Street residents in urgent need will be available tomorrow from 12 to 2pm at Henry Kees office on the corner. “The business community will be assisted as soon as possible. “Thanks so much to our Killybegs and Glencolmcille fire officers and to our coast guard who were here to help all day. “To the roads staff of Donegal county council who delivered the skips, the sandbags, helped with the generators and cleared any debris, to the community who helped each other today THANK YOU.” Director of Emergency Services, Garry Martin, was also at the scene of today’s floods. He praised all those who responded to the call to assist at the scene. The Department of Social Protection has confirmed that the Humanitarian Assistance Scheme will be available to provide support to those living in properties directly affected by Storm Bert.
