Mark Zuckerberg, the Founder and CEO of Meta Platforms Inc., surpassed Tesla owner Elon Musk on Friday, becoming the third richest billionaire globally for the first time since 2020.

Musk, who held the top position on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index until early March, dropped to fourth place due to challenges faced by Tesla.

While Musk’s wealth has decreased by $48.4 billion this year, Zuckerberg’s fortune has increased by $58.9 billion as Meta Platforms Inc. reached new highs, including a record high on Friday.

This ascent marked Zuckerberg’s return to the top three since November 16, 2020, when he was worth $105.6 billion compared to Musk’s $102.1 billion.

Currently, Musk’s net worth is $180.6$180.6 billion, while Zuckerberg’s is $186.9 billion.

The narrowing of the wealth gap between Musk and Zuckerberg, which was once as wide as $215 billion in November 2021, reflects the shift in investor sentiment from electric vehicle stocks to big tech, particularly AI-related ventures.

Tesla’s stock has declined by 34 percent this year, making it the worst performer in the S&P 500 Index, due to various factors including slowing EV demand globally, increased competition in China, and production issues in Germany.

On the other hand, Meta’s stock has surged by 49 percent fueled by robust quarterly earnings and enthusiasm surrounding the company’s AI initiatives, making it the fifth-best performer on the S&P 500.

Beyond their financial standings, Musk and Zuckerberg have engaged in a public feud, notably intensified when Meta launched Threads, a social media platform competing with Musk’s ventures.

The rivalry even extended to jests about a potential physical confrontation, with Musk, 52, recently expressing willingness to face off against Zuckerberg, 39, “anywhere, anytime.”

At present, Bernard Arnault, the chairman of LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton, and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos hold the first and second positions on Bloomberg’s billionaire ranking, with fortunes of $223.4 billion and $207.3 billion, respectively.

Car theft is a significant crime in many countries across the globe. Whether vehicle theft, hijacking, or carjacking, these terms are used to refer to the illegal act of stealing a vehicle.

The Nigerian Police Force announced a new online system allowing vehicle owners to directly flag their cars as stolen to expedite recovery.

A public notice explained that owners can now log onto www.cmris.npf.gov.ng and classify their vehicle as stolen.

This automatically notifies all state and divisional police commands nationwide with details of the stolen car.

It was reported in December 2022, the former Inspector-General of Police, Usman Baba unveiled the digitalised central motor registry (CMR) command centre at the force headquarters in Abuja.

According to force spokesperson, Olumuyiwa Adejobi the online platform will serve as a reliable data point for the possible recovery of the vehicle.

Adejobi said the platform will also process motor vehicle information to support police operations and efforts toward enhancing national security.

Here are the steps:

1. The first thing is to create a profile on the CMRIS portal and report via https://cmris.npf.gov.ng/

2. Then click on “flag if stolen” and this will instantly alert police formations nationwide to look out for the recovery and arrest of culprits.

3. Head to the nearest police division to report the theft for investigation and further action.

4. The police will request the vehicle’s make, model, and license plate number.
