Donald Trump has proposed that Israel should focus on Iran&#8217;s nuclear facilities amidst its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41143156/oil-prices-spike-energy-stocks-jump-after-irans-missile-attack-on-israel-what-investors-need-to-know">rocket attacks on Israel</a>.
What Happened: On Friday, Trump voiced these views at a town hall gathering in Fayetteville, North Carolina. His statements come after Iran fired nearly 200 missiles at Israel earlier this week.
At present, Israel is engaged in conflicts with Iranian proxies in Lebanon and Syria, besides its ground operations in Gaza.
Trump expressed dissatisfaction with the current administration&#8217;s handling of the crisis, specifically President Joe Biden&#8216;s counsel against targeting Iran&#8217;s nuclear program, The Jerusalem Post <a href="https://www.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-823243">reported</a>.
He contended that the Israeli Defense Forces should concentrate on incapacitating Iran&#8217;s nuclear capabilities rather than chasing regular military targets.
Trump slammed Biden&#8217;s stance on the ongoing conflict and said, &#8220;They asked him, what do you think about, what do you think about Iran? Would you hit Iran? And he goes, "As long as they don't hit the nuclear stuff."
&#8220;That's the thing you want to hit, right? I said, I think he's got that one wrong. Isn't that what you're supposed to hit?" I mean, it's the most, it's the biggest risk. We have nuclear weapons, the power of nuclear weapons – the power of weaponry,&#8221; Trump added.

Trump also said, &#8220;You know, I rebuilt the entire military jets, everything I built it, including nuclear, and I hated to build the nuclear. But I got to know firsthand the power of that stuff, and I'll tell you what, we have to be totally prepared. We have to be absolutely prepared.&#8221; 
&#8220;But when they asked him that question, the answer should have been hit the nuclear first and worry about the rest later. And that's why they should, if they're going to do it, if they're going to do it, they're going to do it, but we'll find out whatever their plans are,&#8221; he continued. 
Trump&#8217;s comments highlight his conviction that the nuclear facilities present the most significant threat. He implied that if Israel chooses to retaliate, it should prioritize striking the nuclear infrastructure first and address the rest later.
The former president&#8217;s remarks have intensified the already escalating tensions in the Middle East, with the global community keenly observing how the situation will evolve.
Why It Matters: Trump&#8217;s comments add a new dimension to the ongoing Middle East conflict, emphasizing the potential threat posed by Iran&#8217;s nuclear capabilities. 
His stance contrasts with the current administration&#8217;s approach, potentially influencing future diplomatic and military strategies in the region. 
The global community&#8217;s response to these developments could significantly impact the geopolitical landscape and the future of nuclear non-proliferation efforts.

Trump Urges Israel To Target Iran Nuke Sites: 'Hit Nuclear First And Worry About The Rest Later'

Known best as the former CEO and co-founder of Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Steve Jobs created some of the most visionary products of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/23/09/34704049/if-you-invested-in-apple-stock-instead-of-buying-iphones-each-year-heres-how-much-youd-have-tod">past 30 years.</a>
The late Apple co-founder also had some unique habits, including one that centered on his automobiles.
What Happened: Jobs is best remembered as a brilliant leader <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/10/35119619/tim-cooks-emotional-tribute-to-mentor-and-friend-honoring-steve-jobs-a-visionary-who-changed-the-wor">and tech visionary.</a>
For several years, Jobs had a unique habit of switching to a new vehicle of the same model and color every six months.
As <a href="https://www.autoweek.com/car-life/but-wait-theres-more/a1704461/heres-why-steve-jobs-got-same-new-car-every-six-months/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Autoweek</a> shared, the Apple co-founder bought a new car every six months for decades.
Jobs would buy a black Porsche 911 and replace it six months later with the same Porsche 911. Jobs did this for many years before switching over to the Mercedes-Benz SL55.
According to the report, Jobs did this because he hated license plates.
At one point, the state of California did not require new vehicles to have a license plate for up to six months. Therefore, Jobs would lease a new vehicle every six months and then switch to a new model—a move that wouldn&#8217;t require him to ever need a license plate.

The Loophole Ended Years Later: What would become known as the &#8220;Steve Jobs Loophole,&#8221; was eventually&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autoweek.com/car-life/but-wait-theres-more/a1713416/california-closes-steve-jobs-loophole-license-plate-will-require-temp/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ended&nbsp;</a>in January 2019.
The state of California made the switch to temporary license plates required at the time of a new vehicle sale. Under the new rule, the temporary license plates had to be replaced with real license plates for the front and back of the vehicles in the state.
Before 2019, the period was also cut down to three months without license plates required, which came after Jobs&#8217; death. So, we will never know if Jobs had made the move to have a new vehicle every three months before the loophole&#8217;s full end.
Jobs<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/23/06/33049968/if-you-invested-1-000-in-apple-stock-when-tim-cook-became-the-ceo-heres-how-much-youd-have-now" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> served as the CEO of Apple </a>from 1997 until 2011, when he stepped down in August and chose Tim Cook to replace him. The move came two months before Jobs's death.
During his time at the helm of Apple, Jobs was known for many things, including the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/23/09/34704049/if-you-invested-in-apple-stock-instead-of-buying-iphones-each-year-heres-how-much-youd-have-tod" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">introduction of the iPhone</a>&nbsp;— one of the most important products in the company's history.

Apple Founder Steve Jobs Swapped Porsches Every 6 Months – Here's Why

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/kevin-oleary">Kevin O'Leary</a>, a well-known investor and star of Shark Tank, appeared on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KJ8YVNYM9Y">Fox Business</a> to share his strong views on the state of the American economy. During a contentious debate, O&#8217;Leary vehemently defended the American dream, voicing his displeasure with Vice President Kamala Harris&#8217;s recent comments that seemed to diminish it.

</ul>
When speaking at the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Leadership Conference, Harris said that the &#8220;American dream is elusive for far too many people.&#8221;&nbsp;
The American dream is still alive and well, according to O&#8217;Leary, who made this point clear by citing his investments in successful companies. "I'm the guy that invests in businesses with 5 to 500 employees, and we are on fire!" O'Leary exclaimed. He asserts that private industry is still booming and that entrepreneurship – not government intervention – may spur economic growth.

He emphasized that small enterprises, the economy&#8217;s foundation, can spearhead the recovery provided they are not overburdened by red tape.
He said, &#8220;Private capital, like me and millions of others, makes our own decisions every day – millions of decisions that determine the outcome of an economy that&#8217;s already proven.&#8221;

He said she had done well with her &#8220;all sugar, no protein strategy of Kumbaya&#8221; and gained many female votes. Still, she now faces the challenge of appealing to male voters, particularly those in key battleground states like Michigan and Pennsylvania.
O&#8217;Leary noted that it would be critical to address the serious concerns many men and women have about <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/02/37037283/it-is-becoming-increasingly-harder-to-live-in-america-kevin-oleary-says-cost-of-living-is-a-problem">rising </a>living expenses. He also stated that when Harris faces follow-up interview questions, her responses become unclear, which he called &#8220;verbal soup.&#8221;&nbsp;
&#8220;Trump has lots of problems, too. He sometimes runs on too long, and he&#8217;s bombastic, but she&#8217;s got verbal soup,&#8221; he said.

On Friday, White House Senior Deputy Press Secretary Andrew Bates issued a memo calling these accusations &#8220;bald-faced lies.&#8221; This exchange highlights the contrasting narratives from both parties regarding the storm&#8217;s aftermath. President Joe Biden also toured the affected areas, spending two days in the Carolinas, Florida, and Georgia to assess the damage and meet with farmers whose crops were devastated by the hurricane.

Harris To Survey Helene Impact In North Carolina One Day After Trump Visit

Prominent venture capitalist Ben Horowitz intends to financially support Kamala Harris&#8216; presidential campaign – a move that comes on the heels of his recent financial support for political action committees that favor <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/06/39445667/trumps-presidential-campaign-receives-over-limit-bitcoin-donation-from-winklevoss-twins">Donald Trump&#8216;s presidential bid</a>.
What Happened: Horowitz and his wife have committed to making a &#8220;significant donation&#8221; to entities backing the Harris-Walz campaign.
The venture capitalist, a co-founder of the firm Andreessen Horowitz, disclosed this in a letter to his employees. In the letter, he stated that he and his wife have been friends with Harris for over a decade.
According to a report <a href="https://www.axios.com/2024/10/04/ben-horowitz-endorse-kamala-harris">by</a> Axios, a person close to the firm confirmed the contents of the letter.
"I wanted to give you an update on my political activity. As I mentioned before, Felicia and I have known Vice President Harris for over 10 years and she has been a great friend to both of us during that time," Horowitz wrote in the letter.

"As a result of our friendship, Felicia and I will be making a significant donation to entities who support the Harris Walz campaign," he also added in the letter. 
Despite their previous financial support for Trump&#8217;s campaign, Andreessen Horowitz has not officially endorsed any candidate for the 2024 election. The firm&#8217;s backing for Trump was linked to what they described as a superior &#8220;little tech agenda.&#8221;
Horowitz voiced his optimism about Harris after engaging in discussions with her and her team. However, he pointed out that her tech policy is still to be unveiled, and as such, the firm will not revise its position on that issue.
Why It Matters: The decision by Horowitz to back Harris&#8217; campaign marks a significant shift in his political leanings. 
His previous support for Trump&#8217;s PACs had been linked to the former president&#8217;s tech policies, which Andreessen Horowitz found favorable. 
However, with Harris&#8217; tech policy yet to be announced, it remains to be seen how this will influence the firm&#8217;s political endorsements moving forward.

Benzinga Bulls And Bears: Nvidia, Apple, Amazon, Spirit Airlines — And Dogecoin Drops But Whale Activity Remains High

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/grant-cardone">Grant Cardone</a>, the well-known real estate entrepreneur, recently took a strong stance on the ongoing dockworkers&#8217; strike, stating that longshoremen deserve better pay. Cardone tweeted that the nation has more than enough financial means to compensate the workers handling the daily goods Americans use.&nbsp;
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>Unlock a $400 billion opportunity by investing in the future of EV infrastructure on<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/dunamis-1"> this startup already valued at $50 million with just $500</a>.</li>
<li>The global games market is projected to generate $272B by the end of the year —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/gameflip"> for $0.55/share, this VC-backed startup with a 7M+ userbase gives investors easy access to this asset market.</a></li>
</ul>
But what was exactly in his <a href="https://x.com/GrantCardone/status/1841167347538616453">tweet</a>? He said, &#8220;Pay the Longshoremen. The U.S. pays $150B to fund illegal immigrati on and has given $250B to Ukraine [sic]. Pay the workers who get our goods to us or make it in America and quit importing it.&#8221;
It's important to note that these figures are likely inflated and undocumented workers contribute to the economy through taxes and essential labor.
Reactions to his tweet were mixed. Some people who agreed with Cardone said that Americans should earn more money and that investing in the people who sustain the nation is long overdue.
Trending: This Adobe-backed AI marketing startup went from a $5 to $85 million valuation working with brands like L'Oréal, Hasbro, and Sweetgreen in just three years –<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/rad-ai"> here's how there's an opportunity to invest at $1,000 for only $0.50/share today.</a>
Others pointed out that it's not just about pay – it's about whether halting automation is even a realistic demand, with some saying, "They have to accept automation as part of the deal. Who knows how much extra cost is being passed on to Americans by staying in the stone age to maximize their pay."
The strike, which has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41111978/dockworkers-strike-will-it-impact-your-holiday-shopping">shut down 36 ports</a> along the East and Gulf Coasts, began when the International Longshoremen's Association (ILA) and the U.S. Maritime Alliance failed to agree on a new contract. Dockworkers demand a 77% wage increase over six years, protections against automation and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-health-insurance">better health coverage</a>.&nbsp;
Nearly half of all maritime imports into the United States pass through these ports, so a major disruption to supply networks costs the country billions of dollars daily. In fact, J.P. Morgan estimates that if it continues, it could cost the economy up to $4.5 billion per day.
Trending: A billion-dollar investment strategy with minimums as low as $10 —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/fundrise-flagship-fund"> you can become part of the next big real estate boom today.</a>
The ports affected by the strike <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/10/41148694/beer-shortage-ahead-3-products-that-will-be-most-impacted-by-port-strike">handle significant amounts of imported goods</a>, including cars, construction equipment and beverages. If the strike drags on, prices could rise and products could take longer to hit store shelves – affecting everyone from small business owners to consumers just trying to buy a holiday gift.
Despite the economic risks, President Biden has so far refused to intervene, though he has been in contact with both sides, encouraging them to find a solution quickly. A White House spokesperson said, &#8220;This weekend, senior officials have been in touch with USMX representatives urging them to come to a fair agreement fairly and quickly – one that reflects the success of the companies. Senior officials have also been in touch with the ILA to deliver the same message.&#8221;
As the strike continues, Cardone&#8217;s demand to &#8220;pay the longshoremen&#8221; joins the growing chorus of voices opposed to workplace automation and calling for fair wages.&nbsp;

'Pay the Longshoremen,' Says Grant Cardone. Argues The U.S. Has More Than Enough Money To 'Pay The Workers Who Get Our Goods To Us'

Michael Saylor is regarded as one of the most influential advocates of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), and MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>), a software firm established by him, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40776328/microstrategys-bitcoin-strategy-has-outperformed-every-s-p-500-company-and-even-nvidia-sin">functions more like a proxy</a> of the leading cryptocurrency.
But not many know that the Bitcoin evangelist wasn't bullish on the asset from the get-go. In fact, the man himself has expressed surprise at some of his old takes on the cryptocurrency.
What happened: On Dec. 19, 2013, Saylor tweeted something typical of any skeptic who may come to your mind while reading this article.
"Bitcoin days are numbered. It seems like just a matter of time before it suffers the same fate as online gambling," Saylor had remarked.&nbsp;
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true"><a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Bitcoin?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Bitcoin</a> days are numbered. It seems like just a matter of time before it suffers the same fate as online gambling.
&mdash; Michael Saylor&#x26a1;&#xFE0F; (@saylor) <a href="https://twitter.com/saylor/status/413478389329428480?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 19, 2013</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Saylor was asked about the tweet in a September 2020 podcast with Anthony Pompliano, founder and CEO of Professional Capital Management.&nbsp;
&#8220;I&#8217;m really ashamed to say — I didn&#8217;t know I tweeted it until the day that I tweeted that I bought $250 million worth of Bitcoin,&#8221; Saylor replied with a childlike glee.
"I literally forgot I ever said that," he added, admitting "what an idiot" he was.&nbsp;

Why It Matters: Less than seven years from the tweet he forgot, Saylor's MicroStrategy <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/08/40306998/since-embracing-bitcoin-4-years-ago-michael-saylors-microstrategy-has-outperformed-warren-">adopted Bitcoin as its primary reserve asset</a>, becoming the first publicly listed company to pursue this strategy.&nbsp;
The company hasn't looked back since then, and as of this writing, MicroStrategy is the world&#8217;s largest corporate owner of Bitcoin, with a stash worth more than $15 billion, <a href="https://bitcointreasuries.net/">according</a> to bitcointreasuries.net.
Moreover, since adopting Bitcoin, MicroStrategy's stock <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40776328/microstrategys-bitcoin-strategy-has-outperformed-every-s-p-500-company-and-even-nvidia-sin">has outperformed every company</a> in the S&amp;P 500, including AI powerhouse NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>).
Meanwhile, Saylor's journey has been exciting, from saying "Bitcoin's days are numbered" to it being the "swarm of cyber hornets serving the goddess of wisdom."
He recently disclosed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/08/40229380/michael-saylors-personal-bitcoin-holdings-near-1b-continues-to-invest-heavily">that he owned nearly $1 billion in the leading cryptocurrency</a> and made his intentions clear to acquire more in the future.

Michael Saylor Once Said 'Bitcoin's Days Are Numbered.' Now He Holds More Than A Billion Worth Of King Crypto: Here's What Changed For One Of Crypto's Biggest Advocates

Well-known cryptocurrency trader, Capo, has forecasted potential significant declines for Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>).
What Happened: Capo, who commands a large following on the social media platform X, predicts that Bitcoin might test the $48,000 to $50,000 range, while Ethereum could fall to between $1,800 and $2,000.
"There's a possibility of one last shakeout, with BTC testing the $48,000 – $50,000 zone and ETH $1,800 – $2,000, before the real altcoin season begins."
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

If that happens, I&#39;ll be adding more to my altcoin bags. <a href="https://t.co/sx6u8wPNrK">https://t.co/sx6u8wPNrK</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Currently, Bitcoin is priced at $60,508, marking a 6% decline over the past week, and Ethereum is valued at $2,345, down by 11% over the same period.
Capo also shared insights on altcoins ranked below the top ten by market capitalization, known as "OTHERS," on his Telegram channel.
He suggests that the market cap of OTHERS might drop to between $132 billion and $164 billion after failing to break a significant resistance level. The altcoins index was rejected from a resistance zone around $240 billion, indicating market weakness.

Why It Matters: The potential declines for Bitcoin and Ethereum come at a time when other analysts have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41195246/bitcoin-could-hit-new-all-time-high-if-it-breaks-above-this-resistance-level-says-a">expressed optimism</a> about Bitcoin&#8217;s future. A recent analysis suggested that Bitcoin could reach a new all-time high if it surpasses the $64,000 resistance level.
Additionally, the cryptocurrency market <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41191566/bitcoin-ethereum-dogecoin-end-the-week-with-strong-gains-summer-lull-seasonality-over-q4-b">recently saw strong gains</a>, with Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin ending the week on a high note, driven by positive labor market data. This suggests a potential shift from the summer lull to a more bullish Q4 seasonality.
Despite the current bearish outlook, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41185013/bitcoin-rebounds-above-61-500-and-80k-is-more-likely-than-40k-says-top-technical-analyst">some analysts believe</a> Bitcoin&#8217;s rebound above $61,500 indicates a higher likelihood of reaching $80,000 rather than falling to $40,000. This tension between bullish long-term charts and bearish short-term action highlights the uncertainty in the market.

Cryptocurrency Expert Predicts Significant Drops For Bitcoin And Ethereum Before Altcoin Season Begins

On Friday, Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said that they have been granted permission to deliver Starlink terminals and supplies to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/09/41105907/hurricane-helene-shutters-baxter-internationals-key-manufacturing-hub-in-north-caro">disaster-stricken areas in North Carolina</a>. However, the approval allegedly met some resistance initially.
What Happened:&nbsp;Musk took to X, formerly Twitter, and complained that SpaceX engineers were barred by the Federal Emergency Management Agency or FEMA from delivering Starlink terminals and&nbsp;supplies.
&#8220;SpaceX engineers are trying to&nbsp;deliver Starlink terminals &amp;&nbsp;supplies to devastated areas in&nbsp;North Carolina right now and&nbsp;FEMA is both failing to&nbsp;help AND won't let others&nbsp;help. This is unconscionable,&#8221; he said.
He also shared a video showing the extent of the devastation, with&nbsp;roads, houses, electricity, water supply, and ground internet connections destroyed.

Walz: Flash Poll Picks This Candidate As Tuesday&#8217;s Debate Winner, But He Falls Short In Favorability Rating</a>
He further criticized FEMA for not allowing the SpaceX team to land and deliver critical supplies, adding, &#8220;My blood is boiling.&#8221;
However, in a later update, Musk confirmed that SpaceX had finally received the necessary approval from FEMA to proceed with the delivery of the Starlink terminals and supplies.

Why It Matters: Musk also clashed with Department of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg over allegations that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41195165/pete-buttigieg-and-elon-musk-clash-over-hurricane-aid-flight-claims">federal authorities hindered flights</a> delivering aid to Hurricane Helene victims.

Previously, former President Donald Trump claimed credit for the deployment of Starlink satellites to aid communication restoration in areas affected by the hurricane.

Elon Musk Said His Blood Was 'Boiling' After FEMA Allegedly Didn't Allow SpaceX Engineers To Deliver Starlink Terminals And Supplies To Hurricane Helene Victims, But Now They've Received Approval

Taiwan-based&nbsp;Novatek&nbsp;is gearing up to mass-produce OLED displays a new technology that could significantly influence the design of future Apple Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) iPhones.
What Happened: On Friday, Novatek announced a plan to initiate&nbsp;mass production of OLED displays&nbsp;that incorporate&nbsp;Touch and Display Driver&nbsp;Integration or TDDI technology by the second quarter of 2025, <a href="https://www.digitimes.com/news/a20241004PD206/novatek-apple-tddi-ddi-taiwan.html">reported</a> DigiTimes.
Apple might be among the first clients for Novatek&#8217;s innovative technology, although this remains speculative at this point. 
The projected production timeline for Novatek&#8217;s TDDI displays aligns with the anticipated launch of next-generation iPhone displays in 2025.

TDDI technology could enable the creation of slimmer OLED displays by merging&nbsp;touch and display driver layers,&nbsp;making it a potential fit for the speculated ultra-thin &#8220;iPhone 17 Air.&#8221;
According to the report, the Cupertino, California-based tech giant might initially implement it in lower-volume products like&nbsp;future iPad and Apple Watch&nbsp;models.
The technology could also find application in&nbsp;a long-rumored foldable iPhone or&nbsp;iPad.

Meanwhile, T-Mobile U.S. Inc. CEO Mike Sievert reported encouraging sales numbers for the new iPhone model last month, showing a strong launch despite initial concerns about demand.

Apple Might Have Just Found The Technology To Power Its Thin iPhone 17 Air Display

In a continued shift away from its cashierless Go convenience stores, Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) has reportedly shuttered three more locations in New York last week.
What Happened: Amazon has been steadily reducing its Go stores that use the &#8220;Just Walk Out&#8221; technology, with the latest closures, the total number of Go stores has come down to 17 nationwide, <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2024/10/04/amazon-closes-more-of-its-cashierless-convenience-stores/">reported</a> TechCrunch (<a href="https://www.theinformation.com/briefings/amazon-closes-three-more-go-convenience-stores">via</a> The Information) on Friday.
Last year in March also, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/03/31252375/amazon-prepares-to-cut-more-fluff-shut-8-amazon-go-stores-in-seattle-san-francisco-nyc">company had shut down eight</a> Go stores in Seattle, San Francisco, and New York.
Earlier this year, the company removed the&nbsp;Just Walk Out technology from&nbsp;its grocery stores, focusing&nbsp;more on smaller grab-and-go shops. It also opened a new Go store in Washington.
The e-commerce giant also continues to license the&nbsp;Just Walk Out technology to&nbsp;third-party convenience stores.

Why It Matters: In 2016, Amazon launched its Just Walk Out feature, enabling customers to scan a QR code when entering a store, pick up items, and leave without going through a traditional checkout.
The system relies on cameras, sensors, and a remote team monitoring shoppers to accurately track purchases and complete transactions.
However, the experimental system has faced several challenges, including long delays in finalizing transactions—sometimes taking hours—and the high costs involved in installing the necessary cameras and sensors at each location.
Earlier this year, it was reported that Amazon replaced this <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38055211/amazon-to-replace-just-walk-out-checkout-technology-with-smart-dash-carts">technology with a &#8220;smart-cart&#8221;</a> system called Dash Cart in its grocery stores.
Despite the closures, Amazon continues to focus on profitable ventures and efficiency gains. Earlier this month, Morgan Stanley analyst Brian Nowak reiterated <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41169322/amazons-profitable-essential-merchandise-efficiency-gains-set-to-drive-growth-analyst">Amazon with an Overweight rating</a>, highlighting the company&#8217;s growth potential.

Amazon Shutters 3 More Cashierless Go Stores In New York: Report

Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) is on the verge of reaching a new all-time high, according to a prominent crypto analyst. The analyst suggests that Bitcoin must break through a significant resistance level to achieve this milestone.
What Happened: Bitcoin could reach a new peak if it surpasses the $64,000 resistance level.
Inmortal, a well-known trader, shared with his 216,300 followers on X that Bitcoin&#8217;s recent decline from around $66,000 to $60,000 might be forming a local bottom. He is considering going long on BTC if it demonstrates a swing failure pattern near $60,000 or gains acceptance above $63,000.
"Breakout above $64,000 = New ATH."

</figure>
Meanwhile, another analyst, Kaleo, predicts a short-term dip to approximately $57,000 or $58,000 before a rebound. He expects Bitcoin to rise gradually over the next month, especially after the presidential election, advising traders to accumulate during this period.
"Bitcoin. Still looking like a quick little chop to $57,000 or $58,000, followed by a grind higher the rest of the month into a full send post election."

Why It Matters: The potential for Bitcoin to hit new highs comes amid a backdrop of strong market performance. Recently, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41191566/bitcoin-ethereum-dogecoin-end-the-week-with-strong-gains-summer-lull-seasonality-over-q4-b">cryptocurrency markets</a> have been buoyed by positive labor market data, signaling the end of the summer lull and the start of a bullish fourth quarter.
Additionally, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41185013/bitcoin-rebounds-above-61-500-and-80k-is-more-likely-than-40k-says-top-technical-analyst">technical analysts</a> have noted Bitcoin&#8217;s rebound above $61,500, suggesting that $80,000 is more likely than $40,000. This aligns with the current bullish sentiment, despite some bearish low-timeframe actions.
Furthermore, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41172369/bitcoin-not-a-safe-haven-but-rising-trump-odds-could-fuel-a-rally-standard-chartered">Standard Chartered</a> has highlighted Bitcoin&#8217;s role as a hedge against traditional financial system issues, rather than geopolitical tensions. This perspective reinforces the notion that Bitcoin&#8217;s price movements are more influenced by financial market dynamics than geopolitical events.
Price Action: At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $62,120, showing a 1.5% increase over the past 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Bitcoin Could Hit New All-Time High If It Breaks Above This Resistance Level, Says Analyst

Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX, has stated that the future of human exploration on Mars is contingent on the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election">re-election of former President</a> Donald Trump and the reduction of what he calls &#8220;smothering regulations."
What Happened: Musk, who has thrown his weight behind Trump, endorsed him yet again in the backdrop of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41018400/spacex-hits-back-at-faa-chief-for-pinning-starship-delays-on-safety-concerns-every-statement-he-made">SpaceX's struggles</a> with the Federal Aviation Administration, or FAA.
&#8220;Unless Trump wins and we get rid of the mountain of smothering regulations (that have nothing to do with safety!), humanity will never reach Mars. This is existential.&#8221;

This comes amid escalating tensions between SpaceX and FAA, with Musk <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41041586/spacex-ceo-elon-musk-calls-for-resignation-of-faa-administrator-mike-whitaker">recently calling for the resignation</a> of FAA chief Mike Whitaker.
Musk&#8217;s company has criticized Whitaker for his defense of delays in SpaceX&#8217;s Starship launch vehicle, claiming that &#8220;every statement he made was incorrect.&#8221;
Why It Matters: The relationship between SpaceX and the FAA has been strained, with Musk accusing the FAA of favoritism towards Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) and proposing a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40912464/elon-musk-accuses-faa-of-fining-spacex-over-nonsense-that-doesnt-affect-safety-amazingly-no-star">$633,009 fine on SpaceX</a> for regulatory violations.
Whitaker has defended the FAA&#8217;s actions, citing safety concerns and regulatory compliance as reasons for the delay in SpaceX&#8217;s Starship launch. He also stated that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41016988/spacex-in-violation-of-texas-federal-law-on-some-matters-says-faa-agency-hits-back-at-elon-musks-roc">SpaceX did not adhere</a> to permitting and licensing requirements, which Musk criticized as obstructive.
These ongoing disputes have led Musk to argue that the future of space exploration depends on a political climate that favors deregulation. His recent tweet suggests that he sees a Trump victory as a necessary condition for this to happen.

Elon Musk Says 'Humanity Will Never Reach Mars' Unless Trump Wins: 'This Is Existential'

Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers has expressed disapproval of the Federal Reserve&#8217;s decision to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/09/40926026/federal-reserve-delivers-bold-0-5-rate-cut-signals-further-easing-ahead">cut interest rates last month</a>, terming it a misstep in the face of the latest US job growth data.
What Happened: On Friday, Summers took to X, formerly Twitter, and voiced his disagreement with the Federal Reserve&#8217;s decision to slash interest rates by 50 basis points in September.
He labeled this action as a &#8220;mistake,&#8221; particularly in light of the recent data that shows <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/previews/24/10/41170128/jobs-report-preview-could-september-labor-data-shift-feds-interest-rate-path">U.S. job growth</a> exceeding all predictions.
&#8220;Today&#8217;s employment report confirms suspicions that we are in a high neutral rate environment where responsible monetary policy requires caution in rate cutting,&#8221; he said.

Aditya Bhave, U.S. economist at BofA Securities, adjusted his November forecast to smaller rate cuts (25 basis points) due to the robust economic data.
Bhave predicted a terminal rate of 3.0%-3.25%, with the potential for it to rise further, given the unexpectedly strong productivity growth.
Before the September rate cut, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell had stated that future interest rate cuts would hinge on economic data.

Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers Slams Fed's September Rate Cut Saying It Was A Mistake: 'Today's Employment Report Confirms Suspicions That...'

Department of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg took aim at Elon Musk on Friday over allegations that federal authorities hindered flights delivering aid to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/hurricane-helene">Hurricane Helene</a> victims.
What Happened: Musk posted a screenshot implying that airspace was &#8220;shut down&#8221; and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) was &#8220;throttling flights.&#8221;
Musk voiced his frustration, stating, &#8220;The level of belligerent government incompetence is staggering!!&#8221;

In response, Buttigieg refuted these claims, asserting that the FAA does not obstruct legitimate rescue and recovery flights. He extended an invitation to Musk to discuss any issues directly, saying, &#8220;If you're encountering a problem give me a call.&#8221;
Following their public exchange, Musk expressed gratitude for a private conversation with Buttigieg, indicating a desire to resolve the matter. &#8220;Thanks for the call. Hopefully, we can resolve this soon,&#8221; Musk wrote, though the details of their discussion remain undisclosed.

Why It Matters: The backdrop of this exchange is the ongoing recovery efforts following Hurricane Helene, which has significantly impacted the region.

Pete Buttigieg And Elon Musk Clash Over Hurricane Aid Flight Claims

The White House has refuted Republican claims of Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) funds mismanagement following Hurricane Helene.
What Happened: On Friday, Andrew Bates, the senior deputy press secretary, issued a memo accusing Republicans of propagating &#8220;bald-faced lies&#8221; about the post-Hurricane Helene cleanup efforts, <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/4916014-federal-response-criticized/">reported</a> The Hill.
Republicans, including former President Donald Trump, have claimed&nbsp;that disaster relief funding was&nbsp;spent on migrants, criticizing the administration&#8217;s hurricane response.
Bates denied these allegations, saying, &#8220;No disaster relief funding at all was used to support migrants housing and services. None. At. All.&#8221;
See Also:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41156066/elon-musk-cant-contain-his-joy-after-california-deepfakes-law-supported-by-gavin-newsom-blocked-by-c?itm_source=parsely-api" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Elon Musk Can&#8217;t Contain His Joy After California Deepfakes Law Supported By Gavin Newsom Blocked By Court: &#8216;Yay!&#8217;</a>
He stated that Congress appropriates the funding for migrant support to Customs &amp; Border Protection, and FEMA merely administers it.
Bates also noted&nbsp;that FEMA has already provided&nbsp;over&nbsp;$45 million in direct financial&nbsp;assistance to individuals and families&nbsp;affected by the storm. He cautioned against the potential harm of spreading false information, especially&nbsp;when people are in need.
On the same day, FEMA also released a fact-checking page, confirming that &#8220;no money has been diverted&#8221; and that it has sufficient funds&nbsp;for immediate response and recovery&nbsp;needs.
Why It Matters: Hurricane Helene, which hit on Sept. 26, caused significant damage and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41126631/hurricane-helene-devastation-the-latest-on-damage-companies-affected">left nearly 800,000 people</a> without power. The storm claimed more than 130 lives and caused widespread power outages, affecting over two million customers of Duke Energy Corp.
As a result of the hurricane, there was a surge in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41145534/hurricane-helene-adds-to-most-active-quarter-for-power-outages-driving-back-up-gene">demand for backup and portable</a> power generators.
President Joe Biden has urged Congress to reconvene from recess to approve more funding for recovery efforts, though lawmakers aren't scheduled to return until Nov. 12.
His administration has already sent over 4,800 federal personnel to aid in the response, and the president has authorized the deployment of up to 1,000 troops to assist with North Carolina's recovery, the report noted.
Biden visited North Carolina on Wednesday, followed by trips to Florida and Georgia on Thursday to assess the damage and meet with local leaders.
Previously, Republican presidential nominee Trump allegedly took credit for the deployment of Elon Musk-led Starlink satellites to aid communication restoration in areas affected by Hurricane Helene.
However, FEMA contradicted his statement, saying that the decision was already in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41110218/trump-says-he-spoke-with-elon-musk-for-starlink-deployment-to-aid-hurricane-helene-affected-areas-bu">place before Trump's alleged</a> involvement.

White House Counters GOP Accusations Of FEMA Funds Misuse, Denies Disaster Relief Funding Was Used For Migrant Housing: 'Bald-Faced Lies'

Chinese electric vehicle startup Nio Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NIO#NYSE">NIO</a>) announced late Friday that it has struck a partnership with one of its strategic investors to foray into the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/06/39213251/asia-mena-gaming-markets-reach-85-5b-in-2023-see-future-projections">Middle East and North Africa</a>.
What Happened: Nio has tied up with Abu Dhabi-based CYVN Holdings to launch the Nio MENA in a bid to launch Nio-branded vehicles and vehicles from its subsidiary in the region, the Shanghai-based company said in a statement. This, according to the company, will expand its footprint and integrate further into the &#8220;global smart EV ecosystem.&#8221;
CYVN Holdings will support Nio with strategic investments for the expansion, which will start with UAE.
The company also plans to establish a state-of-the-art R&amp;D center in Abu Dhabi, the capital city of UAE. This center will focus on &#8220;autonomous driving and artificial intelligence advancements, reinforcing NIO's global R&amp;D capabilities and fostering technological innovation in the MENA region.&#8221;
Nio and CYVN Holdings plan to collaborate on a new EV project that will involve research, manufacturing, and future product launches. The EV startup would also work with its partners in Egypt to expand EV manufacturing in the country.
In <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/23/12/36281426/nio-stock-up-premarket-after-securing-2-2b-strategic-investment" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">December Nio closed a $2.2 billion equity investment from</a>&nbsp;CYVN Investments RSC Ltd.
 Jassem Mohamed Obaid Bu Ataba Alzaabi, Chairman of CYVN Holdings, said, &#8220;This partnership is a testament to our mutual commitment to fostering the strength of our strategic collaborations and achieving transformative goals in the smart mobility sector.&#8221;
Nio&#8217;s founder, Chairman and CEO William Li said, &#8220;Our collaboration with CYVN Holdings is a cornerstone in our strategy to enhance global accessibility to smart electric vehicles and to push the boundaries of technological innovation.&#8221;

Why It&#8217;s Important: Nio is a manufacturer of premium EVs and it has recently entered the low-end of the market with its Onvo brand. Deliveries of the first vehicle launched by the sub-brand, codenamed&nbsp;L60, began in late September, and early uptake has been fairly strong.
This week, Nio reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41114350/chinese-ev-trio-nio-xpeng-li-auto-surge-higher-in-tuesdays-premarket-whats-going-on">strong September and record third-quarter deliveries</a> despite the tough domestic EV market conditions marked by lackluster demand and cutthroat competition. 
In late-September, the company said a trio of domestic strategic investors agreed to invest an aggregate of 3.3 billion yuan ($470.64 million) in cash in its subsidiary Nio China. Nio on its part said it would invest 10 billion yuan (about $1.43 billion) in cash to subscribe to the newly issued shares of Nio China.&nbsp;The latest investments would infuse the much-needed financing to pursue it expansion both in China and overseas. 
Nio&#8217;s prospects in China also appear bright, given China has decided to copiously stimulate the domestic economy, potentially arming consumers with the much-needed cash to splurge.
The company currently sells EVs in European countries such as Norway, Sweden, Germany, and the Netherlands. The MENA partnership comes as the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41182675/tesla-byd-and-other-ev-stocks-to-watch-as-eu-votes-to-approve-tariffs-on-chinese-ev-imports">European Commission has voted in favor of up to 45% tariffs on imported Chinese EVs.</a>
Price Action: Nio ended Friday&#8217;s session up 1.04% at $6.77, according to <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro data.</a>

Tesla Rival Nio Accelerates Global Expansion, To Launch EVs in Middle East Amid EU Tariff Concerns

Democratic Presidential nominee Kamala Harris has reportedly engaged with Arab American and Muslim leaders in Flint, Michigan, amid rising tensions over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39562547/us-has-sent-thousands-of-hellfire-missiles-and-2-000-pound-bombs-to-israel-amid-ongoing-war-with-ham">U.S. support for Israel&#8217;s conflicts</a> in Gaza and Lebanon.
What Happened: On Friday, Harris met with representatives from Emgage Action,&nbsp;the American Task Force on&nbsp;Lebanon, and long-time associate Hala Hijazi, reported Reuters, citing two sources.
The meeting is part of a broader effort to reconnect&nbsp;with Muslim and Arab voters,&nbsp;who were instrumental in securing a Democrat win in 2020 but may reconsider their support for Harris in the next election.
Harris addressed the upcoming election and the ongoing Middle East conflicts&nbsp;during the meeting.
She expressed&nbsp;concern over the&nbsp;suffering in Gaza, civilian casualties, and displacement in Lebanon,&nbsp;and discussed efforts to end&nbsp;the war and prevent a regional conflict, the report noted.

Wa&#8217;el Alzayat, CEO of Emgage&nbsp;Action, said they &#8220;asked Vice President Harris to impress upon President Biden the urgency of bringing an immediate end to the violence&#8221; in Gaza and Lebanon.
However, some Arab Americans believe Harris&#8217; reluctance&nbsp;to distance herself from President&nbsp;Biden&#8217;s Middle East policies could cost her in the upcoming election.
A recent poll&nbsp;by the Arab American Institute&nbsp;found Harris and Trump at&nbsp;roughly even levels of support&nbsp;among Arab Americans.
Why It Matters: The meeting comes amidst a backdrop of escalating tensions in the Middle East.
Last month, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40920151/china-slams-us-for-shielding-israel-blocking-gaza-ceasefire-efforts-as-war-nears-1-year">China accused the U.S.</a> of shielding Israel and obstructing ceasefire efforts in the Gaza conflict. &#8220;Had the US not shielded one side time and again, multiple resolutions of this council would not have been flagrantly rejected and defied.&#8221;
Later that month,&nbsp;senior U.S. officials <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40955425/top-us-officials-skeptical-of-israel-hamas-cease-fire-and-hostage-deal-before-bidens-term-ends-repor">expressed skepticism about a ceasefire</a> and hostage-release deal between Israel and Hamas.
Meanwhile, Israel continued its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/09/41056542/israel-plans-to-disrupt-arms-delivery-from-iran-to-lebanon-in-motion-as-palestinian-president-cr">military operations in Lebanon and Gaza</a>.
Earlier in the year, Harris had urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to help establish a Gaza ceasefire, a move that was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40417063/trump-says-he-encouraged-netanyahu-to-end-gaza-war-while-critizing-kamala-harris-for-demanding-cease">later criticized by</a> Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
&#8220;I will give Israel the support that it needs to win but I do want them to win fast,&#8221; Trump reportedly said in August.
