American Hero Nelson Gant – Ex-enslaved, abolitionist, businessman, conductor on the Underground Railroad!

Gant was 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 into slavery on May 10, 1821, in Loudoun County, Virginia. Gant spent his time as a slave as his master’s body servant.In September 1845, upon his owner’s death, Gant received his freedom. He spent the next year in Virginia, selling firewood.

He hoped to earn enough money to purchase his wife, Anna Marie Hughes, who was a slave in Virginia. Before earning enough money to secure his wife’s freedom, Gant came to Zanesville, Ohio. Local abolitionists, especially Quakers, helped Gant raise money to purchase his wife. Finally, in February 1847, Gant secured his wife’s freedom from her owner in Leesburg, Virginia.

The reunited Gants settled in Zanesville. Nelson Gant eventually owned three hundred acres of land. Gant earned a living as a farmer, but he also owned a saltlick and a coal mine.The Gants enrolled their 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren in Oberlin College in Oberlin, Ohio. The Gants also actively assisted fugitive slaves on the Underground Railroad. Nelson Gant eventually sold twenty acres of land to the Townsend Brick Company, which turned the land into a public park.

Tesla Is No Longer Elon Musk’s Most Valuable Asset

**Breaking News: Tesla Falls Behind as Musk’s SpaceX Surges Ahead** In a stunning turn of events, Tesla is no longer the crown jewel of Elon Musk’s empire, as SpaceX has officially surpassed the electric vehicle giant in value for the first time in five years. Musk’s fortune, once heavily anchored by Tesla, has shifted dramatically following a series of alarming developments. Musk’s financial landscape took a hit after he funneled over $200 million into Donald Trump’s re-election campaign, but he rebounded quickly, briefly becoming the world’s first $400 billion individual. However, Tesla’s stock has since plummeted by 50%, exacerbated by disappointing delivery numbers and concerns over Musk’s divided attention as he juggles his new role in the Trump administration. Recent reports indicate that Tesla’s revenue growth has stagnated to a mere 1% in 2024, while net income has declined for the second consecutive year. Meanwhile, shocking drops in vehicle sales have been documented across key markets, including Germany, China, and Australia. As public sentiment turns against Musk, protests have erupted at Tesla dealerships nationwide, amplifying the urgency of the situation. The turmoil doesn’t end there. Musk’s appeal of a Delaware court ruling that invalidated a lucrative pay package has further complicated his financial stability. Forbes has slashed the value of Musk’s stock options by 50%, revealing that his stake in Tesla is now worth $97.8 billion, significantly less than the soaring valuation of SpaceX. With SpaceX’s value now estimated at $147 billion—almost $20 billion more than Musk’s Tesla holdings—this shift marks a seismic change in Musk’s financial narrative. SpaceX’s revenue surged by 51% to $13.1 billion in 2024, buoyed by the booming Starlink satellite internet service. As the dust settles, it’s clear that Musk’s fortunes are in flux, and the landscape of his empire is shifting dramatically. Stay tuned as we continue to monitor these developments closely.
