Zuckerberg, with a total wealth of US$121.6 billion, lags behind Bill Gates. Previously, he ranked third in the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. According to Bloomberg News, Facebook’s stock fell 5% on Monday and has fallen 15% since mid-September.
On Monday night, Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger of millions of users, including India, went down because they were unable to send or receive messages on social media platforms. “We know that some people have problems accessing our apps and products. We are working hard to get everything back to normal as soon as possible.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused to you,” Facebook Communications Director Andy Stone (Andy Stone) said in a tweet. According to DownDetector, a website that tracks WhatsApp outages, 40% of users cannot download the app, 30% have problems sending messages, and 22% have problems with the online version. In April, Facebook and Instagram were down for several hours among millions of users around the world.
This is the second power outage of the social networking giant in less than a month.

Tom signs Nolan’s next
This will mark the first collaboration between Tom and Christopher. While details of his next directorial aren’t known yet, it’s most likely not to have a contemporary setting. It’ll be either set in the past like, his previous film Oppenheimer (2023), or in the future like Interstellar (2014). Matt Damon, who has worked with Christopher in both, has also come on board his next.
Christopher’s next will be co-produced by him and his wife Emma Thomas’ banner Syncopy Inc and Universal Pictures, as the two production houses will team up after the Academy Award-winning blockbuster Oppenheimer last year. Prior to Oppenheimer, Christopher collaborated mostly with Warner Bros before having a fallout post the debacle of Tenet (2020).
Warner Bros then went on to produce Greta Gerwig’s musical satire Barbie, which clashed with Oppenheimer at the box office and even outperformed it globally. Warner Bros offered Christopher a cheque for the fees he waived off for helming Tenet during the pandemic. While Christopher graciously accepted the belated remuneration, he still went on to pitch his next to Warner Bros.
Tom’s busy schedule
Tom didn’t have any release this year. His last outing was Todd Graff’s psychological thriller show The Crowded Room on Apple TV last year. He’ll juggle the filming of Christopher Nolan’s next and Spider-Man 4 in 2025. Tom has been playing the superhero ever since Russo Brothers’ 2016 blockbuster Captain America: Civil War. He’s slipped into the Peter Parker shoes post that for three standalone films and two Avengers movies. Spider-Man 4 will be helmed by Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton.
As Tom’s girlfriend and co-star Zendaya will be busy filming Spider-Man 4 in 2025, she’ll reprise her role of Chani in Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi spectacle Dune 3 only in 2026. Meanwhile, Tom is also likely to make an appearance as Spider-Man in Russo Brothers’ Avengers: Doomsday, which will go on floors in the spring of 2025.
