Elon Reeve Musk (born June 28, 1971) is a technology entrepreneur, investor, and engineer who is best known for being the CEO of companies such as Tesla, SpaceX, PayPal, and X (formerly known as Twitter). He became richer than Jeff Bezos. This is what happens when you invest in the right things at the right time.
Terrorists killed about 100 people in villages in western Niger. Sadly, this happens almost every day, but the media cares more about Kim Kardashian than this. Also, it may happen again because the criminals who did this were not caught.
A very famous Indian fashion designer died at the age of 78 while practicing yoga.
A Portuguese singer died at the age of 81. He was a super famous person there.
They closed the borders for years. This has affected many people in Saudi Arabia, like my uncle, who was going to get a job in Qatar but could not because of this. This siege finally ended after years.

This was actually bigger than the Perseverance rover landing on Mars. Daft Punk was arguably the band of EDM and produced some of the greatest house music of all time. Known for One More Time, Harder Better Faster Stronger, Robot Rock, Get Lucky, and more. On February 22, 2021, they announced their breakup after 28 years in a YouTube video titled Epilogue. They were the Beatles of EDM. Dance music will never be the same again, and there won't be another band like them. Long live Daft Punk.
It has been a really bad year for this country. Sadly, the plane crashed, killing 62 people.
NASA made epic history by landing the Perseverance rover on Mars after a 7+ month trip. They landed it the same way they landed Curiosity (back in 2012), and it was 7 minutes of terror leading up to the landing. Yet, it took approximately 11.5 minutes for the signal to travel from Mars to Earth (given Mars was about 11.5 light minutes away from Earth at the time). Perseverance plans on looking for signs of life on Mars, which would be unbelievably historic news for all of us.
Texas's worst natural disaster since Hurricane Harvey.
