Trump claims to be 'number one' on TikTok. What does that mean?

Image
President Donald Trump touted that he's "number one" on TikTok multiple times this week. "The new numbers just came out," Trump told reporters at the White House Monday. "You know who the number one person on TikTok is by far? Trump. Me," he said. The president added that he surpassed Taylor Swift, who he said was "number 11" on the social media app. As of July 9, Trump has 16.7 million followers on TikTok. Taylor Swift has a little over double Trump's TikTok following, sitting at 33.5 million followers as of July 9. The most followed person on the app is Khabane Lame, a Senegalese influencer known for his comedic skits. Lame has 162.3 million followers on the video-sharing platform. That's nearly 10 times Trump's following. After Lame, the second most followed person on TikTok is 22-year-old Charli D'Amelio who rose to fame in late 2019 after her dance videos started going viral. She has 159.2 million followers.

Here are his top tips on how to manage your money from saving to avoiding scams. 1. Automate your savings Nunn says the key to building up savings is to automate putting money aside. This means regular saving will stop being a decision or action you have to keep taking - and putting off. "If you're able to carve out a little bit and put it somewhere else where you won't have access to it and be able to spend it, I think that's the easiest way to start having a saving mindset," he says. That could mean setting up a standing order from...

Meet SK Hynix, the trillion-dollar South Korean chipmaker debuting on U.S. markets

Image
U.S. investors are getting a new way to buy into the memory boom. SK Hynix , the second most valuable company in South Korea, behind only Samsung, is slated to begin trading on the Nasdaq on Friday. The market debut, coinciding with the company's hefty expansion plans for the U.S., comes after a more than sevenfold increase in its stock price over the past year, a rally that's lifted SK Hynix's market cap to about $1 trillion. Many Americans don't know the name SK Hynix, but they've likely had plenty of exposure to the company's products. Along with Micron and Samsung, SK Hynix is one of three primary makers of computer memory used in laptops and phones sold by companies such as Apple and Dell . Memory has long occupied a sleepy corner of the semiconductor market. That's changed dramatically over the last couple years as surging demand for artificial intelligence has upended the industry, creating severe shortages for the chips and sending prices to a...

Trump says Iran called to make a deal after U.S. strikes; adds it's unclear if war is back on

Image
U.S. President Donald Trump said Wednesday evening that he does not know whether Washington and Iran are returning to a full-fledged war, but told reporters that Iran "badly" wants to make a deal to cease escalating hostilities in the Middle East. Trump flew back to Washington, DC, via the U.K. on Wednesday. Speaking to reporters on board Air Force One as he departed the U.K.'s Mildenhall Air Force Base, the president said American forces had "just hit [Iran] very hard." "I say we hit them 20 to 1 every time they hit us, we're going to hit them 20, and we did it last night," he said. "They did a little something today, but it was really retribution for last night when they hit, we hit back much harder." When asked whether the U.S. and Iran are returning to full-scale military conflict, Trump responded: "I don't know," before adding that if the war resumed the U.S. would "win it very quickly." "We have many wa...

Why electric cars cost more to insure - and what's being done about it

Image
By Theo Leggett Business correspondent Published 9 July 2026, 00:09 BST It's hot and bright beneath the high intensity lights in a cavernous crash and safety testing laboratory, hidden away in a business park outside Newbury. A siren blares and a disembodied voice counts down: "Three, two, one." A small white car trundles into view, rolls across the floor, and bumps into a barrier set against the wall. As crash tests go, this one is hardly spectacular. There is no torn metal or flying glass. At just 6mph, it replicates the kind of annoying prang you might well get in a car park or at a traffic light. But raise the slightly bent bonnet to look underneath, and it's a different story. This is an electric vehicle (EV) a Dacia Spring and the hidden damage is significant. As senior test engineer Sean Hoad points out, the high-voltage charging port, mounted at the front of the car is badly broken, as are components it's attached to. "This is all one big unit, meani...

Why the world’s best-performing stock market this year fell into bear territory

Image
South Korea's stock benchmark, Kospi , has gone from being the world's hottest equity market to entering bear territory within a few weeks, highlighting how investors have soured on artificial intelligence plays and underscoring concentration risks. The Kospi fell more than 5% on Wednesday, which brought it 20% below its June 19 record high, according to LSEG data. It closed slightly higher on Thursday in choppy trading. "South Korea's recent drawdown has been driven by heightened AI skepticism on the part of global investors, coupled with extreme market concentration," said Manishi Raychaudhuri, CEO of Emmer Capital. The speed of the reversal brings to light a central feature of this year's rally: South Korea's outsized dependence on the AI trade. Chipmakers Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix accounted for more than half of the Kospi's weighting as of June, data provided by Emmer Capital showed. That extreme reliance has both lifted and sunk the index....

Fed meeting minutes to show 'family fight' over rates. The squabble could drag on for a while

Image
Divided Federal Reserve officials indicated at their last meeting that they will address persistent inflation this year with one interest rate hike. History, though, suggests that policymakers will have a hard time stopping there. In fact, there have been few instances over the past 35 years or so when the Fed has only made one rate move, be it up or down. Rather, the central bank's Federal Open Market Committee tends to move in rate cycles, where it adjusts policy multiple times over a period to meet whatever goal it seeks to accomplish. "A lot of people are talking about one rate increase. The committee does not generally do that. I mean, what's the point of that?" former St. Louis Fed President Jim Bullard told CNBC on Monday. "So, usually it means a tightening cycle, and I think markets are trying to sniff that out right now." Markets will get more clues Wednesday about the Fed's policy direction when the committee releases minutes from its June 16-...

Ukraine’s drone playbook is wreaking havoc in Russia — and upending where NATO wants to invest

Image
Ukraine's drone attacks have been dominating headlines about its war with Russia and upended NATO's investment thesis. Having boosted drone production and capabilities in four years of war, Ukraine has stepped up its attacks on Russian energy infrastructure and military assets, targeting high-profile oil refineries in major cities as part of a sustained push to cut off Russia's energy revenues . Defense experts and strategists have described its drone campaign as pivotal in helping to stall Russia's military momentum, while also warning that Kyiv's deep-strike successes have drastically raised the risk of escalation. Earlier this week, Ukraine marked what appeared to be one of the country's deepest attacks on Russian territory in the war so far. Plumes of black smoke were seen billowing from a key oil refinery in the city of Omsk on Tuesday, prompting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to declare that the country's upgraded drone capabilities hav...

Tell us how you invest and we'll show you why it's our #1 pick. Tap here. Congratulations to Rivian, which on Tuesday experienced its first genuine public Tesla moment, and we don't mean full self-driving. The EV maker's shares plunged more than 10% in early trading after it announced a public offering of 75 million Class A shares, worth roughly $1.51 billion at Monday's close of $20.14. The timing was, let's say, seasoned. Rivian stock had climbed 19% last week, then tacked on another 8.1% Monday, at which point management looked at the rally, looked at the checkbook, and decided the shareholders wouldn't mind chipping in. This is a rite of passage. Rivian has p...
