"Seeing recent events we've mutually decided it's best I permanently step away from all things MrBeast and social media to focus on my family and mental health."Tyson added she "never groomed anyone" and said any accusations were false."Having said that, I humbly apologise to anyone I have hurt with my unacceptable social media posts, past actions, and to those who may feel betrayed by how I used to act online," she said.<h2 id="59307b8a-2582-423a-8989-19ca49b0486e">MrBeast is investigating the claims</h2>The fan in question, known by their online username LavaGS, is now 20. They denied that Tyson groomed them, referring in a series of X posts to the allegations as "massive lies.""Ava never did anything wrong and just made a few edgy jokes," they said. "I was never exploited or taken advantage of."Donaldson posted a statement on the night of July 24, saying he was "disgusted and opposed" to Tyson's behavior and had hired a third-party investigator."That said, I've seen enough online and taken immediate action to remove Ava from the company, my channel, and any association with MrBeast," he said.

Infamously, Colleen Ballinger, known for her Miranda Sings character, <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/colleen-ballinger-miranda-sings-audience-grooming-accusations-messages-2023-8">faced allegations of grooming</a> her young fanbase.In response, she posted <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/colleen-ballinger-returns-to-internet-addresses-ukulele-apology-2023-11">a widely condemned</a> 10-minute musical apology, playing the ukulele.Katya Varbanova, a social media consultant and the CEO of Viral Marketing Stars, told Business Insider that with any further statements, Donaldson should avoid making the same mistakes."Ever since Miranda Sings <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/colleen-ballinger-responds-to-grooer-claims-in-ukulele-song-2023-6">and Ukulele Gate</a>, the general public doesn't take grooming allegations of minors lightly," she said.<h2 id="c7274a07-3202-4efc-806c-84fcb9c5a721">Brushing off controversy</h2>In June, Donaldson overtook the channel of the Indian music label T-Series to snatch the title of the <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/mrbeast-overtakes-t-series-becomes-youtube-most-subscribed-channel-2024-6">biggest YouTuber in the world</a>.He is also no stranger to controversy. He has fielded accusations of overseeing a toxic workplace and being a "white savior." His social experiments, in which he has people living in grocery stores or isolation chambers to win money, have also been likened to the horror series "Saw."Donaldson hasn't personally responded to the claims about his workplace. But a spokesperson told Time that "safety is incredibly important and taken very seriously." They also said medics and "experienced professionals" were on set at all times.Donaldson's success hasn't been significantly tempered by the backlash, with the majority of his viewers seeing him as <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/mrbeast-jimmy-donaldson-youtube-broken-the-curse-influencer-success-subscribers-2024-5">authentic and generous</a>.His support of Tyson has been a part of that.

All four people who lifted off aboard a <keyword id="12067647" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="falcon-9" source="Orion">Falcon 9</keyword> rocket at 8:02 p.m. ET on Wednesday are civilians with non-astronaut day jobs. They're a billionaire high-school dropout, a geoscientist, a physician-assistant, and an engineer.The group has been training for a little over five months. Now they're in Earth's orbit, where they'll drift for three days, venturing farther from our planet than any human has since 2009. Their mission is called <keyword id="12067645" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="inspiration4" source="Orion">Inspiration4</keyword>.The group launched from NASA's Kennedy Space Center, but otherwise the government agency has nothing to do with this.Billionaire Jared Isaacman chartered the flight from SpaceX and is both footing the bill and commanding the company's Crew Dragon spaceship. He gave the other three seats to Dr. Sian Proctor, a geoscientist who serves as an analogue astronaut in simulations of long-term Mars missions; Hayley Arceneaux, who survived bone cancer as a child and now works at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital; and Chris Sembroski, an Air Force veteran who works for Lockheed Martin."I can't express enough how appreciative we are of this amazing opportunity, we know that the four of us are about to have an experience that only about 600 or so had before us," Isaacman said in a press conference on Tuesday. "We're very focused on making sure that we give back every bit of that time that we get on orbit for the people and the causes that matter most to us."<div type="image" title="inspiration4 crew poses in front of falcon 9 rocket that's laying sideways on runway at night" height="1365" width="1820" msid="86249587" hostid="261"></div>Through the flight, Isaacman aims to raise a total of $200 million for St. Jude for pediatric-cancer research by asking for donations <a href="https://inspiration4.com/donate">online</a> and auctioning items the crew is taking to space. That's in addition to $100 million he's already donated himself."There are real problems and real obligations we have to pay attention to here on Earth in order to earn the right to make progress for tomorrow," Isaacman said.After liftoff, the Falcon 9 rocket carried the spaceship close to orbit, then the rocket's booster detached and fell back to Earth, landing on a drone ship at sea to fly again another day. After that, the rocket's upper stage gave the Crew Dragon a final push before it, too, broke away.That left the Crew Dragon and its passengers drifting above our planet 13 minutes after liftoff. The spaceship's cabin - where the four crew members will spend the next three days - has about as much room as a walk-in closet.Now that they're in orbit, the group can strip off their spacesuits. They plan to eat cold pizza for dinner.<h2><keyword id="11896083" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="science" source="Orion">Science</keyword>, art, and views from 355 miles above Earth</h2><div type="image" title="crew dragon spaceship above earth with glass dome cupola beneath nosecone" height="1755" width="2340" msid="86249588" hostid="261"></div>Since Inspiration4 isn't going to the space station, SpaceX replaced the port the spaceship usually uses for docking with a rounded window - <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/spacex-civilian-crew-view-from-spaceship-toilet-2021-6">a cupola</a> designed to maximize the spaceship passengers' views of Earth.While they're in orbit, as high as 355 miles up, the crew will enjoy 15 sunrises and sunsets each day.To pass the time, they plan to collect data for research about how spaceflight affects the human body. Since they're going so high, they'll be exposed to more radiation than astronauts on the space station, which orbits at an altitude of about 250 miles. Data about how that affects the passengers' bodies could inform research and planning related to longer-term <keyword id="11937990" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="human-spaceflight" source="Orion">human spaceflight</keyword> to places like the moon and Mars.So Isaacman, Proctor, Arceneaux, and Sembroski will take each other's vitals, draw blood samples, scan their organs with an ultrasound device, and take cognitive tests on a tablet.They'll also carve out time for fun. Sembroski brought a ukulele to play. Proctor brought paints and markers.Then, come Saturday or early Sunday, the Crew Dragon will fire its thrusters to push itself into the atmosphere. This will initiate a high-speed, fiery plummet. Tiles on the spaceship's underbelly must protect its passengers as friction superheats the air around it to a 3,500-degree-Fahrenheit plasma. Then the spaceship must deploy parachutes to drift to an ocean splashdown.Crew Dragon has carried NASA astronauts on this return journey twice without incident. SpaceX developed the spaceship for NASA's Commercial Crew Program, a competition that awarded funding to facilitate the development of commercial spacecraft. The goal was to make human spaceflight from the US possible again, since no spaceship had launched people from the US since 2011, when the Space Shuttle Program ended. SpaceX broke that dry spell when it flew its first astronauts in May 2020.

SpaceX has launched a billionaire-funded crew of space tourists into orbit - the first civilian mission of its kind

Skills like creativity, empathy, collaboration will gain even more prominence,” Sanjiv Mehta, CEO, HUL <a href="https://youtu.be/RUKyUK50TPY">said</a> in a webinar. Overall, the online learning enrollments witnessed a 200% increase. This may be because the employees too are working in a remote setu and they are now keen on acquiring new skills. “As a result of this pandemic, we are all being forced to learn. Some of us are learning how to work from home and how to work from home along with kids. Others are learning out of necessity because of job loss or an uncertain professional future. Learning requires effort, but it can help us make progress from where we are today to where we want to be,” said Padraig Nash, Director of Learning Science and Instructional Design at Udemy. That reiterates the findings of the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/careers/news/between-pay-cuts-and-a-jobs-crisis-nearly-half-of-indias-workforce-feels-financially-stretched-a-survey-shows/articleshow/75552381.cms">LinkedIn’s Workforce Confidence Index report </a>that says over 65% of all the job seekers, employees and self-employed professionals will increase time spent in online learning over the next two weeks. In fact, the Udemy report highlights an 80% increase in usage from businesses and governments, globally.

His stage name is DJ D-Sol.</li><li>Solomon said DJ-ing started out as a hobby until it became apparent that he "was actually developing some skills," he said on the JJ Redick Podcast.</li><li>Now, he sees DJ-ing as an outlet and a way to connect with younger coworkers.</li></ul>Warren Buffett <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/hobbies-successful-people-2017-2">plays the ukulele.</a> Larry Ellison sails. Oprah Winfrey reads books.And David Solomon, CEO of Goldman Sachs since fall 2018, is a DJ, stage name DJ D-Sol.On an episode of the JJ Redick Podcast, Solomon said it all started when he was introduced to record producer Paul Oakenfold, who in turn introduced him to other people who taught him how to DJ. For years, Solomon said, it was relegated to a Sunday-afternoon hobby.Then Oakenfold heard that Solomon "was actually developing some skills." He called Solomon and invited him to DJ for the first hour at a club in New York."I said to him, 'I've never done this,'" Solomon told Redick. "He said, 'Look, it's an hour. Pick 10 tracks you want to mix together, practice a little.'" Oakenfold added that "there won't be a lot of people there," since it would be right when the club opened, "so you won't have to worry about whether or not it's any good."Solomon's daughters showed up with a few friends. But by midnight, he told Redick, the club had started to fill up "and I was hooked. The ability to see the music influence people and see people respond to it, it was cool. And so I started working at it."<h2>When word got out about his hobby, Solomon knew he had to put more into it or stop entirely</h2>In July 2017, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/13/business/dealbook/goldman-sachs-david-solomon-dj-d-sol.html">The New York Times</a> published an article about Solomon's foray into DJ-ing and electronic dance music. Solomon remembered thinking, "I have to work at it a little more and put more into it, or I have to stop." He decided to go for it.By summer 2018, Solomon had <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/goldman-president-just-released-first-electronic-dance-single-and-its-already-hot-song-of-the-summer-on-spotify">released his first single</a>, "Don't Stop," a dance remix of a Fleetwood Mac song. It quickly became a popular song on Spotify.Solomon told Redick, "I know it's different from what someone in my position would do, but why shouldn't I?" He added, "It's a great outlet."He still DJs mostly on Sunday afternoons and, when he's traveling on planes, he creates music."As a business professional, it's also connected me to a lot of the younger people that I work with," Solomon told Redick. "I think it makes me more accessible to them."Indeed, Business Insider's <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/david-solomon-on-dj-gig-and-leadership-2018-10">Olivia Oran reported</a> that Solomon has said people used to "cower in a corner" when he got in the elevator. "When people started seeing I had this hobby and was into music, a 24-year-old analyst would say 'Hey David, I saw your post on this and I heard your track,'" Solomon said.Read more: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/career-advice-millennials-goldman-sachs-ceo-david-solomon-2019-1">Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon shares his number one piece of advice for millennials who want to get ahead in their careers</a>Solomon has also said that pursuing a passion on the side has helped him handle the rigor of a career in finance, Business Insider's <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/goldman-sachs-coo-david-solomon-has-a-side-hobby-as-an-edm-dj-2017-10">Alex Morrell reported</a>.As Solomon has said, "If you can't find a way to have passions and pursue those passions and mix them into your professional life and your personal life in some way, shape or form, it's just harder to have the energy to keep on doing this, and to keep moving forward professionally."Get the latest Goldman Sachs stock price<a href="http://markets.businessinsider.com/stock/GS-Quote"> here.</a> <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/why-are-we-all-so-stupid-availability-bias-2018-12">Availability bias: discussing what occupation is most likely to cheat on their spouse</a></h3> <div> </div> </div>

The school principal shut down their operation after three weeks. But by that time they had already raked in $150, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNdQ0-Clcsk">Saleh recounted in a video last year</a>.More than 20 years and several successful <keyword id="6358815" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="tech">tech</keyword> start-ups later, the 33-year-old entrepreneur's life was cut short in July when he was found dismembered at his luxury New York City apartment. But as <keyword id="6355005" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="news">news</keyword> stories about Saleh continue to make headlines, those who knew him say the young man was more than just his success or horrific demise."In recent years, he was maturing not just professionally, but personally. He was so excited about decorating his new apartment and would discuss throw pillows with our mother over Facetime," Saleh's sister, Ruby Angela Saleh, wrote <a href="https://medium.com/@justiceforfahim/mourning-my-baby-brother-fahim-238dae9a4372">in a Medium post.</a> "He was developing his passion for cooking, working on improving his running performance, and taking care of his three-year-old pomsky, Laila. He was creating structure and stillness in his life, neither of which came easily to him." Those who knew Saleh say he was a proud and hardworking entrepreneur who was dedicated to his projects and loved ones. In her Medium post, Ruby Saleh recalled getting the phone call on July 14 from her aunt, who told her that her brother had been killed. She instantly jumped on the phone with their sister, who confirmed the devastating news. She struggled to believe it."I dropped the phone and crawled onto the wooden floor, touching its cold, hard surface with the palms of my hands," she wrote. "I looked up at my husband. He was already crying, as if he had accepted these words about my brother as truth."<div type="image" title="NYPD officers speak at crime scene at 265 Houston Street, where Fahim Saleh, Co-founder/CEO of Gokada, was found dead at the apartment building in New York City, New York, U.S., July 15, 2020.

Ruby Saleh wrote that her brother's energetic spirit caused him to throw himself into his projects from a young age. After having his candy project shut down, he started making jewelry and selling that instead, she said. His entrepreneurial spirit blossomed in his teens when he started developing a network of social media apps from his parent's home. In 2006, Saleh's first company, Wizteen, Inc., made more than $400,000, according to old tax filings he <a href="https://www.instagram.com/stories/highlights/17886866197172952/">shared on Instagram</a>.He was only a high school senior at the time. "From the time he discovered the Internet until the time I last saw him, my brother could get so lost in his work that the sun could come up before he realized he had skipped both lunch and dinner," Ruby Saleh wrote.His commitment worried their father, also a programmer, who often had to remind him to eat."How will I survive knowing that I never again have to worry about what my Famy ate today?" Ruby Saleh recalled her father asking her last month.In 2010, after graduating from Bentley University in Massachusetts, Saleh launched TapFury, a company responsible for the wildly popular PrankDial app, which allowed for people to make anonymous prank phone calls. While lucrative, the app also <a href="https://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/ny-prankdial-app-hudson-county-jail-wiretap-case-20200715-57qvtdrdjfcfhixhcxdj3t4a6u-story.html">ensnared Saleh in a legal battle</a> after the deputy director of New Jersey's Hudson County jail used it to entrap two of his officers by secretly recording their conversation and using it against them, according to documents filed in New Jersey federal court.The jail official, Kirk Eady, was eventually sentenced to 21 months jail time on wiretapping charges in 2015. When Eady was released, he sued Saleh in a case that is still pending, alleging he was misled about the legality of the app.Undeterred, Saleh went on to found co-found <a href="https://pathao.com/">Pathao</a>, a motorbike ride-hailing service in Bangladesh and then <keyword id="4171014" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="gokada">Gokada</keyword>, a similar venture in Lagos, Nigeria. In Lagos, Gokada launched a fleet of 1,000 "pilots" outfitted with branded motorcycles and safety gear to provide rides to locals through an app.In February, due to policy changes in Lagos, Gokada was forced to shift away from taxi services to providing <a href="https://www.gokada.ng/">delivery services</a>.In the last video that Saleh posted on Youtube, he talked about how the ban on motorbike ride-shares like Gokada was disrupting his mission of providing jobs to locals in Nigeria. "This has definitely been a blow," Saleh said in the video, adding that the work of entrepreneurs "change countries" and should be supported."The drivers at Gokada, they weren't there just because they wanted to make money. They were there because they had families, they had children, they had dreams," <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiUnvrCdG30">Saleh said.</a>In a different Medium post, <a href="https://medium.com/@amdfad?source=post_page-----38cb8c1832d----------------------" rel="noopener">Ahmed Fahad </a>wrote about Saleh as his mentor and eventual business partner at Pathao. Fahad said that the two worked hard for success together and Saleh taught him a number of tough lessons over the years. While Saleh's opinionated personality was "often polarizing", Fahad called him a role model."Over the years, I came to know his many… human flaws," he wrote. "But when I think of Fahim Saleh tonight… I remember his indomitable will. His complete and utter disregard for the status quo. And his lopsided extreme focus to makes things happen. I remember a man who changed things and people."<h2>Saleh's social media gave the world an inside look at his jet-setting, yet family-oriented life</h2>Saleh did not shy away from giving the world an inside look at his life, success, and family.In 2016, he posted a Youtube video in which he and his two sisters — Riff and Ruby — arrived at their parents' modest apartment and told their dad by phone that the needed to bring them cash for their Uber. When he got outside, Saleh <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnH3uU-dgY4">surprised him</a> by gifting him a new Tesla Model S for Father's Day. Saleh's public profiles on Instagram and Youtube shared an inside look at young tech mogul's life with the world. In between photos of jet-setting between business trips and vacations, working out, and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/stories/highlights/17886866197172952/">playing the ukulele,</a> Saleh's Instagram told the story of a tight-knit Bangladeshi-American family. Eight months ago, Saleh proudly shared a night shot of the 10-story brick and glass apartment building where he owned a $2 million apartment on the 7th floor. A horizontal sign that spanned more than three floors prominently displayed "265 East Houston Street," the address where one of his sisters made an unexpected visit on Tuesday and discovered a gruesome <keyword id="39494" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="60" keywordseo="Crime">crime</keyword> scene.<h2>Saleh's cousin disrupted the killer's plan to destroy his body, police say</h2>On the afternoon of his killing, after not hearing from her Saleh for a day, his cousin made a visit to his apartment, Ruby said. When she arrived, at around 3:30 p.m., she discovered his dismembered body. An electric saw was still plugged in, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/15/nyregion/fahim-saleh-lower-east-side-murder.html">the New York Times reported</a>.Surveillance video viewed by the police shows that the killer, who was dressed in all black and wearing a mask, had followed Saleh into an elevator a day earlier. <keyword id="6355722" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="detectives">Detectives</keyword> told The Daily Beast that Saleh appeared uneasy when the man appeared not to know how to use the building's elevator and the two had exchanged words. When Saleh arrived at his apartment, which occupied the whole 7th floor, the man followed him off, trapping him, according to the Daily Beast.Using what police believe was a stun gun, the killer demobilized Saleh, and at sometime later stabbed him several times, <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/mans-beheaded-dismembered-body-found-in-nyc-luxury-apartment-complex">the Daily Beast reported</a>.The killer likely waited overnight before using the saw to dismember Saleh, police told the Daily Beast.The visit from his cousin, who Ruby identified as "A" seemed to interrupt an attempt to destroy the body and leave no evidence of Saleh's killing, according to police.<a href="https://www.instagram.com/stories/highlights/18018900373027300/">Laila</a> was found alive in the apartment, according to the New York Times. <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/suspect-reportedly-arrested-murder-dismemberment-tech-founder-fahim-saleh-2020-7">Police have since arrested Tyrese Devon Haspil, 21, for the murder</a>.The motive was financial, police said. Saleh had discovered that Haspil had "stolen tens of thousands of dollars from him," though the two were thought to have worked out a repayment plan."While we were growing up, I felt more like a mother to Fahim than a sister. When he was a toddler too wild to finish a meal, I ran after him with spoonfuls of rice and chicken," Ruby Saleh wrote. "I gave him baths, I changed his diapers, and I was petrified the first time I saw his nose bleed.""Thirty years later, I was learning that Fahim's head and limbs had been discarded in a trash bag," she added. "Someone had cut my brother's body into pieces and tossed the pieces into a garbage bag, as if his life, his body, his existence had had no meaning or value." <h2>The family is still in mourning</h2>Two days after her brother was killed, Ruby Saleh was sitting with her cousin and sister when she got a call from the funeral home. Due to COVID-19, she would have to identify her brother's remains by photo. Minutes later, she received the image of her brother, "lifeless."When her father came into the room, she quickly turned off the computer, realizing she can never tell him what she saw. She can never tell him what she saw, she wrote.It's been just under a month since Fahim Saleh's funeral. These days his father spends most days with Laila "speaking to her in the same affectionate tone he reserved for my brother," Ruby Saleh wrote. "My mother spends her days crying. At night, she cannot sleep." Ruby lives abroad, in a country on the other side of the Atlantic where it's warm year-round, she wrote. Last week she considered hosting Thanksgiving, their family's favorite holiday, at her home. She expects the day to be difficult this year."Fahim always made the garlic mashed potatoes, while I made the stuffing and my sister made her famous mac and cheese," she said."Maybe in this new setting, we will all feel a bit less heartbroken when Fahim doesn't tear through our parents' kitchen door, running behind schedule, letting in the cold air behind him, throwing his jacket and bag on the floor, taking his place at the kitchen island, surrounded by his family, Googling garlic mashed potato recipes on his phone," she added.This story was updated.<ul class="read-more-links"><li>Read more: </li><li><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/founder-fahim-saleh-found-decapitated-electric-saw-next-to-him-2020-7">The body of a tech founder was found dismembered in his Manhattan condo</a></li><li><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/fahim-saleh-tech-ceo-family-react-death-dismemberment-nyc-condo-2020-7">'Nothing short of evil': Family of the tech CEO found dismembered in his NYC condo react to his death as officials say the killer may have been interrupted</a></li><li><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/security-experts-comment-on-high-profile-bitcoin-twitter-hack-2020-7">Here's how security experts think hackers hijacked the Twitter accounts of Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Barack Obama, and many others</a></li></ul>
