Tiktok in the US is back up and running for the American audience. It's "thanks" to Donald Trump, the company's own account on the app announces in a welcome message, according to TT.

Oxfam: The first dollar billionaires will soon be born

The first dollar billionaires are expected to appear in the next decade – those with fortunes of over $1 trillion. Oxfam writes in its latest report on economic inequality, according to CNN Business.

"It's a sum that is impossible to take in," says Oxfam's policy director Rebecca Riddell.

The first to emerge is expected to be Elon Musk, who currently has over $400 billion. If the trend continues, he will become a dollar billionaire within five years, Oxfam predicts.

The report is based on Forbes data and is released ahead of the Davos summit, which starts this week.
