In a recent social media clash, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/mark-cuban">Mark Cuban</a> called out Donald Trump for insulting American autoworkers. Cuban, the entrepreneur and part-owner of the Dallas Mavericks, took to <a href="https://x.com/mcuban/status/1846335916228391385">Twitter</a> to criticize Trump&#8217;s remarks during his interview at the Economic Club of Chicago.&nbsp;
Trump claimed that autoworkers in America were essentially just assembling car parts &#8220;out of a box&#8221; and even went as far as to say, &#8220;We could have our child do it.&#8221;

Cuban was not having any of it. In a tweet, he said, &#8220;He still thinks it's 1965. It's obvious he has no idea what it takes to manufacture any advanced product, car or otherwise.&#8221; Cuban made it clear that Trump's comments were completely out of touch with the reality of modern manufacturing and a direct insult to hardworking Americans who keep the industry going.
When Stephen Miller, a former advisor to Trump, rushed in to defend the former president, Cuban responded quickly. Miller suggested that Cuban had been &#8220;hoaxed&#8221; by a &#8220;deceptively edited clip&#8221; and argued that Trump's comments were directed at European car manufacturers, not American workers.&nbsp;
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>
Cuban responded, &#8220;Stephen, the Mercedes plant is in the USA,&#8221; before continuing, "The workers are American. He said a child could do the job of an American worker. That's an insult.&#8221;
Cuban wasn't just upset about the specific comments on autoworkers. He also aimed at Trump's behavior during the interview, calling it &#8220;awful.&#8221; According to Cuban, whenever Trump couldn't answer a question, he insulted the interviewer instead, adding, &#8220;Now THAT is something a child can do.&#8221;
Trending: ‘Scrolling to UBI': Deloitte's #1 fastest-growing software company allows users to earn money on their phones –<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2"> invest today with $1,000 for just $0.25/share</a>
There was more back-and-forth. Cuban even provided extensive information via Grok chatbot to support his assertions, citing Mercedes-Benz U.S. International (MBUSI), the company that operates <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/05/38798644/mercedes-benz-workers-in-alabama-face-anti-union-pressure-amid-uaw-vote">Mercedes-Benz activities in Alabama</a>.&nbsp;
The company made a significant investment in this factory, which is close to Vance, Alabama. It manufactures models like the GLE and GLS, as well as electric EQS and EQE SUVs. Mercedes-Benz employs its &#8216;One Man–One Engine&#8217; philosophy at this plant for its AMG models, where a single technician hand-builds an engine from start to finish. This philosophy emphasizes that American workers at this plant deserve respect for their skills and contributions.

Cuban&#8217;s message was very clear: don&#8217;t accept Trump&#8217;s actions as usual, especially if doing so means <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39516013/mark-cuban-accuses-trump-of-ripping-off-thousands-of-hard-working-americans-and-not-wanting-to-leave">disparaging hardworking Americans</a>. He called on people like Stephen Miller not to excuse or justify the insults. &#8220;I know your guy insults hardworking Americans often, but don't normalize this, Stephen,&#8221; Cuban tweeted.
Trump has a track record of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/10/41344136/trump-goes-on-the-defense-about-massive-effect-of-tariffs-economic-growth-putin-relationship-djt">opposing global trade deals</a> and enacting tariffs to encourage homegrown manufacturing. But rather than bringing about the rebirth he frequently claims, it has been demonstrated that his policies – such as tariffs on steel and aluminum – damage the American auto sector, driving up costs and even resulting in plant closures.

'Don't Normalize' Trump's Behavior, Warns Mark Cuban, Says It's An Insult To American Workers To Claim Their Job Could Be Done By A Child

In <a href="https://www.semafor.com/article/10/17/2024/lucids-boss-on-sputtering-ev-market-elon-and-doing-business-in-saudi-arabia">an interview</a> with Semafor published on Thursday, Peter Rawlinson, CEO of Lucid Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LCID#NASDAQ">LCID</a>) discussed the company's relationship with the Public Investment Fund (PIF) of Saudi Arabia, Lucid's rivalry with Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41356810/elon-musk-donates-75m-to-support-donald-trumps-presidential-campaign">Elon Musk's political views</a>.&nbsp;
Saudi Money: Saudi Arabia's PIF has invested approximately $8 billion in Lucid, and the sovereign wealth fund holds about a 60% stake in the EV maker, making it the company&#8217;s largest shareholder. Lucid is also building a factory in Saudi Arabia with an annual production capacity of 150,000 vehicles. The PIF has said that it views Lucid as an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/08/40196316/lucid-group-analysts-break-down-q2-earnings-1-5b-saudi-financing-for-ev-stock-we-se">important part</a> of its strategy to diversify Saudi Arabia&#8217;s economy and invest in future technologies. 
"They are looking for multipliers that can help their transition," Rawlinson said regarding the Saudi partnership. "I didn't go out and try to seek Saudi money specifically. But I needed billions of dollars."
Lucid announced a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41381191/whats-going-on-with-lucid-stock-thursday">public offering of its stock</a> on Wednesday and Saudi PIF-affiliate Ayar Third Investment Company had agreed to purchase an additional 374,717,927 shares of Lucid's stock in a private placement in connection with the offering. The company expects to receive another $970.2 million in gross proceeds from the PIF's latest investment.&nbsp;

Rawlinson on Elon Musk's Politics: Rawlinson revealed that he knows Elon Musk "very well" after working for him for three years, but that the Tesla CEO has become "distracted with politics."
"His mind is not where it was, and you see the result now," Rawlinson said in the interview. "We're the new leader, and many of my team from Tesla have come and joined me."
Rawlinson went so far as to claim that he was not only taking staff from Tesla due to Musk's<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41353213/tesla-ceo-elon-musk-to-campaign-for-trump-in-pennsylvania-asks-attendees-to-support-free-speech-ther"> political involvement</a>, but said former Tesla<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/08/40404685/lucid-ceo-peter-rawlinson-says-his-ev-tech-is-8-years-ahead-of-elon-musks-tesla"> customers are fleeing</a> to Lucid as well. He illustrated his point with an anecdote about an email from a customer who switched from Tesla to Lucid.&nbsp;
&#8220;We just couldn't drive around in a Tesla anymore. We bought a Lucid out of disdain for Elon, but now we've got it, we can't believe what we've got," Rawlinson said the customer wrote.&nbsp;
EV Demand: Lucid recently scaled back its production targets, though Rawlinson claims Lucid is outperforming luxury EV competitors in certain markets.&nbsp;
"In some markets now, Lucid Air is outselling Tesla Model S," Rawlinson stated.&nbsp;
The Lucid CEO said <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40799524/lucid-showcases-new-gravity-suv-teases-affordable-crossover-ev">vehicle manufacturing</a> is not a problem and pointed to the company's production levels of 100 EVs per day in 2022. He sees Lucid's problem as low EV market demand.&nbsp;
"The market is tough. The actual sales numbers of EVs are increasing. It's just that the rate of increase was not what we anticipated."
LCID Price Action: According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>, Lucid shares ended Friday's session at $2.63, down more than 22% over the past five days.&nbsp;

Lucid CEO Peter Rawlinson Talks Saudi Investment, Elon Musk's Political Views And Taking Business From Tesla

In a campaign rally for Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris in Arizona, former President Barack Obama criticized Republican nominee Donald Trump as a leader.
What Happened: On Friday, Obama questioned Trump&#8217;s&nbsp;mental fitness to lead the&nbsp;nation, describing&nbsp;the Republican nominee as a&nbsp;huckster to criticize him, <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/10/18/obama-trump-arizona-rally-harris/">reported</a>&nbsp;The Washington Post.
The rally, held at the University of Arizona&#8217;s football practice facility, was attended by an estimated 7,000 people. It marked the beginning of Obama&#8217;s six-day, five-state tour of the election&#8217;s fiercest battlegrounds.

Harris: 2024 Election Polls, Sportsbooks Betting Odds Show Different Winners For 2024 Election</a>
During the rally, Obama likened Trump&#8217;s town hall appearance this week to the behavior of an &#8220;older, loonier Donald Trump with no guardrails.&#8221;
&#8220;You would be worried if your grandpa was acting like this,&#8221; he said.
He also took a dig at Trump&#8217;s business ventures, particularly his self-branded Bibles, which he noted were printed in China.
The former President called out Trump&#8217;s hypocrisy, branding him as &#8220;Mr. Tough Guy on China,&nbsp;except when he can make&nbsp;a few bucks hawking his&nbsp;Trump edition Bibles.&#8221;
Why It Matters: Earlier this year in August, during the Democratic National Convention, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/08/40488598/obama-compares-trump-to-an-annoying-neighbor-with-leaf-blower-tells-dnc-americas-ready-for-a-new">Obama compared Trump to an</a> annoying neighbor with a leaf blower, stating that America was ready for a new chapter under Harris&#8217;s leadership.
Earlier this month, he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41284435/obama-compares-trumps-behavior-with-fidel-castro-he-has-not-stopped-whining-about-his-problems-since">compared Trump&#8217;s behavior</a> to that of Fidel Castro, stating that Trump had not stopped &#8220;whining about his problems&#8221; since his initial presidential campaign.
&#8220;Donald Trump is a 78-year-old billionaire who has not stopped whining about his problems since he rode down his golden escalator nine years ago,&#8221; Obama posted on social media.
Trump, on the other hand, has been contemplating <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41414741/trump-mulls-legal-action-against-cbs-over-kamala-harriss-60-minutes-interview-its-going-to-be-very-e">legal action against CBS over an interview</a> with Harris, accusing the network of deceptive editing to present the Vice President in a positive light.

Obama Criticizes Trump's Town Hall Appearance At Arizona Rally: 'You Would Be Worried If Your Grandpa Was Acting Like This'

&#8220;Shark Tank&#8221; co-stars&nbsp;Mark Cuban&nbsp;and&nbsp;Kevin O&#8217;Leary, aka &#8220;Mr Wonderful,&#8221;&nbsp;have locked horns over tariffs on China.
What Happened: On Friday, O&#8217;Leary voiced his discontent with China&#8217;s trade practices on X, formerly Twitter.
He argued for drastic action in the form of raising tariffs to 400%, saying that China has been unfair in its business practices for decades.&nbsp;&#8220;I can tell you&nbsp;firsthand they DON&#8217;T play fair.&#8221;
&#8220;I'm calling for REAL action, raise tariffs to 400%. Make it SO painful they have no choice but to come to the table,&#8221; O&#8217;Leary stated, referring to Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump&#8217;s stance on the subject.

Cuban swiftly responded to O&#8217;Leary&#8217;s call for increased tariffs, highlighting the adverse effects such measures could have on U.S. companies.
He cited a Deutsche Bank report and a Goldman Sachs survey, indicating that companies were &#8220;cutting costs, putting off investments, and paying extra to build up inventory to help cushion the impact of China tariffs.&#8221;

Why It Matters: This isn&#8217;t the first time the two &#8220;Shark Tank&#8221; co-stars have publicly disagreed. In August, they had a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/08/40163905/shark-tank-showdown-mark-cuban-claps-back-at-kevin-olearys-controversial-comments-on-kamala-harris">social media showdown</a> following O&#8217;Leary&#8217;s controversial comments on Democratic nominee Kamala Harris, whom Cuban is publicly supporting.
Their latest disagreement comes amid a heated debate on tariffs. Last month, the Joe Biden administration&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/09/40856820/biden-hikes-tariffs-on-chinese-goods-alibaba-jd-com-stocks-drop">hiked tariffs</a>&nbsp;on Chinese goods, causing stocks of Alibaba and JD.com to drop.
Meanwhile, Trump has&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41397317/trump-defends-his-plans-to-impose-200-tariffs-on-cars-imported-from-china-mexico-hope-union-workers">defended his plans</a>&nbsp;to impose 200% tariffs on cars imported from China and Mexico, aiming to protect American automotive jobs. &#8220;I hope the union workers, auto workers understand that I saved their jobs.&#8221;
Previously, Harris criticized Trump&#8217;s tariff policy, naming it "Trump sales tax&#8221; during the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40810978/trump-sold-us-out-with-china-tariff-policy-says-harris-in-heated-presidential-debate">presidential debate</a> last month. At the time, she stated that the Trump administration contributed to a substantial trade deficit and instigated trade wars.
&#8220;Under Donald Trump's presidency, he ended up selling American chips to China to help them improve and modernize their military,&#8221; Harris said then.

Kevin O'Leary Calls for 400% Tariffs On China, But His 'Shark Tank' Co-Star And Friend Mark Cuban Fires Back With Business Concerns

Editor&#8217;s note: The headline of this story has been updated to clarify that Bitcoin is the top recurring investment on the Robinhood platform, not the most traded asset, and the story has been updated with more detail. 
Trading platform Robinhood Markets (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>) has grown from a strong base of young users and retail users into a platform that caters to all, a development the company's Chief Brokerage Officer Steve Quirk told Benzinga is "kind of exciting to see" during the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/fintech/24/10/41371235/robinhood-announces-futures-trading-index-options-trading">2024 HOOD Summit.</a>
Robinhood's Growth: With a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/23/10/35166392/exclusive-next-generation-of-investors-drives-robinhoods-247-trading-crypto-savings-offeri"> long career in the trading world </a>at TD Ameritrade and the Cboe, Quirk has seen trends come and go in the stock market.
"At Robinhood, our customers tier toward the younger side," Quirk said in a Friday interview, noting an average customer age in the low 30s.
Similarities exist between legacy trading firms and Robinhood, he said, but there are many differences that influence the latter&#8217;s product development.
"The technology and products we roll out cater to our customers."
On Robinhood, around 50% of the self-directed trading occurs on mobile, which means most of the trading is done on phones, Quirk said. 
With the growth of retirement accounts and more sophisticated traders joining Robinhood, Quirk said the company saw demand for web-based apps and platforms alongside mobile, which went into the company's new trading platform.
"We are attracting a lot of large customers from other brokerages."
Quirk emphasized the amount of effort Robinhood puts into researching customers to make better tools and products and also the effort made in education to make people feel comfortable switching their accounts over to Robinhood.
"Education is critical."
The HOOD Summit has helped show Quirk stories of investors changing their lives through Robinhood tools and investment platforms, he said. 
"Those stories make you motivated to continue to deliver for the customers."

Platform For Everything: Robinhood recently announced a partnership with Cboe Global Markets (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CBOE#BATS">CBOE</a>) that will bring futures trading to customers, which Quirk said is one of the platform&#8217;s most-requested features. 
"It's a natural," Quirk said.
The tax advantages of futures and the fact they operate around the clock are some of the reasons they are in demand from Robinhood customers, he said. 
With its offerings of stocks, options, futures and cryptocurrency, Quirk highlighted the uniqueness of the Robinhood platform during his interview with Benzinga's Zunaid Suleman at the HOOD Summit in Miami. 
"We're the only place in U.S. where you can do it all."
Robinhood offers the ability to make recurring investments in any asset, including cryptocurrency, Quirk said. Recurring investments are where Robinhood users set the dollar amount of an investment to be made automatically on their behalf. 
"The No. 1 traded and most reoccurred investment is Bitcoin," he said, highlighting the leading cryptocurrency Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>).
Bitcoin has been Robinhood&#8217;s top recurring asset for years and it shows the platform has customers who are very passionate about cryptocurrency, the chief brokerage officer said.

What Happened: The U.S. Commerce Department is probing whether&nbsp;TSMC&nbsp;violated sanctions by supplying chips to Huawei Technologies, <a href="https://appleinsider.com/articles/24/10/18/us-tsmc-probe-puts-iphone-chips-at-risk">reported</a> Apple Insider (<a href="https://www.theinformation.com/articles/u-s-probes-tsmcs-dealings-with-huawei">via</a> The Information).
The investigation, initiated in early fall, follows suspicions that TSMC may have been&nbsp;contracted by an intermediary firm&nbsp;to manufacture smartphone and AI chips for Huawei.
The 2020 sanctions on Huawei restricted the Chinese tech giant from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/23/06/33050727/the-us-is-trying-to-weaken-chinas-semiconductor-industry-heres-what-china-is-doing-to-fight-back-in">obtaining components from U.S. companies</a> without approval from the Commerce Department.
It also prohibited the use of chips manufactured with U.S.-sourced equipment.

If found guilty, TSMC could face penalties, including sanctions, which could directly affect its chip production for clients, including&nbsp;Apple, the report noted.
Such a penalty could stop TSMC&#8217;s access to U.S. technology and equipment, disrupting the production of new lines and maintenance of existing ones.
This could also limit the production of Apple&#8217;s mobile chips, forcing the tech giant to seek another chip partner.

Why It Matters: Earlier this week, it was reported that TSMC could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41395688/nvidia-supplier-tsmc-will-push-back-against-asml-rumored-price-hikes-says-analyst-potential-pricing">resist price hikes</a>&nbsp;from equipment supplier ASML Holding, which may lead to a pricing standoff between the two companies.
Hsinchu, Taiwan-based TSMC <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41373163/nvidia-supplier-tsmc-reports-q3-revenue-earnings-beat-amid-rising-demand-for-ai-chips">reported third-quarter revenue</a> of NT$759.69 billion ($23.50 billion), up 39% from last year and 12.8% from the previous quarter. In U.S. dollar terms, revenue grew 36% year-over-year and 12.9% quarter-over-quarter.
The impact could be even greater, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/09/41007184/taiwan-semi-secures-7-5b-boost-for-arizona-expansion-aims-for-advanced-chip-production-report">as TSMC&#8217;s Arizona facility</a>, which secured a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38266586/taiwan-semis-ai-boom-and-us-expansion-set-to-drive-q1-earnings-growth">$6.6 billion subsidy through</a> the Chips Act from the Commerce Department in April, might face a halt in its development.
Previously, it was also reported that TSMC has&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41356479/apple-spark-hope-for-americas-semiconductor-comeback-key-supplier-tsmc-reportedly-begins-producing-c">started manufacturing</a>&nbsp;A16 chips for Apple at its Phoenix, Arizona facility, marking a return to using U.S.-made chips after nearly a decade.

US Probe Into Potential Sanctions Breach By TSMC Threatens Apple's iPhone Chips Production

Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) enthusiasts have reason to be optimistic as the Chief Investment Officer of Bitwise, Matt Hougan, has projected that the apex crypto could hit a six-figure price by 2025.
What Happened: Hougan cited several factors that could propel Bitcoin&#8217;s price upward, in a recent interview on the Altcoin Daily channel.
He pointed to the recent halving event in April, which slashed miners&#8217; rewards by half, as a significant influence on Bitcoin&#8217;s market dynamics.
"I think it's going to be a new all-time high. I think it's going to be six-figure Bitcoin for sure," said Hougan.
"It's a risky market. You should only invest what you can lose. But the setup for 2025 is really exceptional."
Additionally, Hougan expects spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to become more prominent next year. He also highlighted potential Federal Reserve rate cuts as a bullish catalyst for Bitcoin&#8217;s price increase.
Hougan expressed confidence that Bitcoin might reach new all-time highs before the year ends, noting the substantial liquidity available for investment in the crypto market.

Why It Matters: Hougan&#8217;s prediction comes amid a backdrop of increasing institutional interest in Bitcoin.
Recently, MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) founder Michael Saylor <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41396724/microstrategy-boss-michael-saylor-taunts-bitcoin-doubters-challenges-them-to-short-company">challenged Bitcoin skeptics</a> to short the company&#8217;s stock, emphasizing their commitment to holding Bitcoin.
Furthermore, Morgan Stanley, despite previous skepticism from its executive chairman James Gorman, has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41351925/morgan-stanley-chair-james-gorman-once-said-bitcoins-role-in-wealthy-peoples-financial-fab">actively recommended Bitcoin-related investments</a> to clients this year. This shift indicates a growing acceptance of Bitcoin among traditional financial institutions.
Additionally, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41295451/bitcoin-rises-2-to-break-62k-trader-reports-90-to-100-bullish-signals">recent rise in Bitcoin&#8217;s price</a>, with traders like Astronomer Zero reporting strong bullish signals, further supports the optimistic outlook for Bitcoin&#8217;s future.

Bitcoin Predicted To Hit 6-Figure Price In 2025, Bitwise CEO Says Next Year Will Be 'Exceptional' For King Crypto

Deepwater Asset Management&#8217;s managing partner Gene Munster shared his thoughts on the future of autonomous vehicles, discussing their potential advantages and the hurdles they face.
What Happened: Munster shared his four main observations from Elon Musk-led Tesla Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41284847/tesla-reveals-two-seater-cybercab-that-drives-itself">&#8220;We, Robot&#8221; event.</a>
Here are Munster&#8217;s key takeaways:
The World Needs Autonomy
According to Munster, vehicles in autonomous fleets could reduce cost per mile by 65-75% due to higher usage, and the time saved from not driving could be worth around $21,000 annually in personal value.
&#8220;In the U.S. alone, it could save tens of thousands of lives and hundreds of billions of hours per year.&#8221;
However, he said that it is important to note that safety and sustainability impacts still depend on various factors.

It&#8217;s Going To Take Longer
The analyst also revised his timeline for autonomous driving, acknowledging it will take longer than he anticipated.
He said that while there&#8217;s a 20% chance of a breakthrough akin to a &#8220;ChatGPT moment&#8221; in the next year, current trends and regulatory challenges suggest Full Self-Driving progress is slower than expected.
&#8220;Tesla's geofenced Robotaxi fleet approach likely signals that unsupervised FSD will take 1-2 years longer than I originally expected.&#8221;
Robotaxi Fleet&#8217;s Impact On Income
Munster projected that a nationwide Robotaxi fleet could account for 20% of Tesla&#8217;s operating income by 2030.
His model assumes, &#8220;Tesla will charge $16.50 per ride, offering a 25% discount,&#8221; gaining significant market share due to a price-sensitive environment.
He noted that pricing the service 25% lower than competitors in a highly price-sensitive market could lead to substantial market share gains. With a 50% market share by 2030, this could bring in roughly $4.5 billion in operating income.
Unsupervised FSD&#8217;s Potential
According to Munster, the greatest opportunity for Tesla lies in unsupervised FSD, which could significantly increase market share, driving more car sales. Licensing FSD to other automakers is also a possibility, which could be a major revenue source for Tesla.

Why It Matters:&nbsp;Last week, at the &#8220;We, Robot&#8221; event, Tesla showcased the company&#8217;s advancements in autonomous vehicles. The company unveiled its two-seater&nbsp;Cybercab&nbsp;and 20-seater Robovan, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41284847/tesla-reveals-two-seater-cybercab-that-drives-itself">both designed for autonomous driving</a>.
The event also featured 1,300 &#8220;Perfectly Safe&#8221; autonomous trips, driving over 2,000 guests, according to a&nbsp;Tesla executive.
However, the event also sparked controversy over Tesla&#8217;s &#8220;Optimus&#8221; robots.
Several reports indicated that the robots were&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41401752/nvidia-executive-defends-teslas-optimus-robots-amid-criticism-thats-a-huge-advancement-not-something">operated by engineers</a>, leading to criticism over their capabilities. Optimus engineer Milan Kovac later admitted that the robots were&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41354482/tesla-engineer-admits-optimus-robots-were-human-assisted-to-some-extent-at-robotaxi-unveiling-event">&#8216;human-assisted to some extent&#8217;</a>&nbsp;at the event.
Kovac said that one of the robots toppled over after its hand got tangled in someone&#8217;s handbag, suggesting Tesla still has work to do to perfect the robots&#8217; functionality.
However, the company has made notable progress in improving Optimus&#8217; hardware stability and the infrastructure needed to operate the robots in outdoor public settings.

Tesla Bull Gene Munster Breaks Down EV Giant's Robotaxi Plans And Future Of Autonomy, Says It Could Save 'Tens Of Thousands Of Lives And Hundreds Of Billions Of Hours Per Year'

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has arrested an Alabama resident for allegedly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/01/36566797/sec-twitter-hacked-fake-bitcoin-etf-approval-tweet-creates-market-mayhem">hacking</a> the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)&#8216;s social media account on X earlier this year.
What Happened: The FBI <a href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/alabama-man-arrested-role-securities-and-exchange-commission-x-account-hack">apprehended</a> Eric Council Jr. on Thursday, accusing him of conspiring with others to gain unauthorized access to the SEC&#8217;s X account in January.
Council allegedly used the name of SEC Chair Gary Gensler to falsely announce the approval of a Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) exchange-traded fund (ETF).
This fake announcement caused Bitcoin&#8217;s price to surge by over $1,000 before it plummeted more than $2,000 after the SEC regained control of its account and labeled the announcement a security breach. The SEC did not implement multi-factor authentication for its profile at the time.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41372090/anthony-scaramucci-tells-what-percentage-of-his-wealth-is-tied-up-in-bitcoin-i-havent-sold?itm_source=parsely-api" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Anthony Scaramucci Tells What Percentage Of His Wealth Is Tied Up In Bitcoin: &#8216;I Haven&#8217;t Sold Any. Thank God, Knock On Wood!'</a>
Council is accused of executing the hack through an unauthorized SIM swap, tricking a cellphone carrier into reassigning a phone number to a SIM card he controlled. This allowed him to access the social media accounts linked to the number and post the premature Bitcoin ETF announcement.
FBI Criminal Investigative Division Assistant Director Chad Yarbrough stated, &#8220;The defendant allegedly deceived the public by impersonating the victim and making fraudulent statements on behalf of the SEC.&#8221;
Council faces charges of conspiracy to commit aggravated identity theft and access device fraud, with a potential five-year prison sentence.
Why It Matters: The incident highlights the vulnerabilities in social media account security, particularly for high-profile organizations.
In January, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/01/36566797/sec-twitter-hacked-fake-bitcoin-etf-approval-tweet-creates-market-mayhem">SEC confirmed</a> that its official Twitter (now X) account was compromised, leading to a false tweet about Bitcoin ETF approvals.
This unauthorized post caused <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/01/36575150/secs-hacked-tweet-on-bitcoin-etfs-causes-massive-trader-losses-over-220m-liquidated">significant market disruption</a>, with over $220 million liquidated and more than 70,000 traders affected.
The SEC, in collaboration with the FBI, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/01/36583935/sec-confirms-fbi-investigation-into-its-twitter-account-hack-after-false-bitcoin-etf-annou">launched an investigation</a> into the hack, emphasizing that the unauthorized content was not created by the SEC.

Tesla Cybercab's Wireless Charging Capabilities Shown Off In New Teaser Video: Will This Be The Future Of EV Charging?

Elon Musk's SpaceX has secured a significant $733.6 million contract from the U.S. Space Force to execute at least nine national security launches.
What Happened: This contract, part of the National Security Space Launch Phase 3 Lane 1, includes seven missions for the Space Development Agency (SDA) and one for the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO.)
Brig. Gen. Kristin Panzenhagen highlighted the necessity of rapid deployment of capabilities in the current geopolitical environment, stating, &#8220;In this era of Great Power Competition, it is imperative to not leave capability on the ground.&#8221;
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41350962/tesla-key-exec-says-we-robot-event-had-1-300-perfectly-safe-autonomous-trips-driving-over-2-000-gues?itm_source=parsely-api" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tesla Key Exec Says &#8216;We, Robot&#8217; Event Had 1,300 &#8216;Perfectly Safe&#8217; Autonomous Trips Driving Over 2,000 Guests</a>
The Phase 3 Lane 1 construct is designed to accelerate launch services for risk-tolerant payloads, thereby enhancing national security.
&#8220;The Phase 3 Lane 1 construct allows us to execute launch services more quickly for the more risk-tolerant payloads, putting more capabilities on orbit faster in order to support national security,&#8221; Panzenhagen added.
The SDA task order will aid in the development of Tranche 2 of the Transport Layer, a satellite network providing global military data and connectivity.
SpaceX is already involved in building the Transport Layer and the Tracking Layer, which monitors missile threats.
The NRO mission will launch from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California during the fourth quarters of fiscal years 2025 and 2026.
These task orders were awarded under a contract signed with SpaceX, Blue Origin, and United Launch Alliance in June.
Why It Matters: This new contract follows <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/23/09/34995779/spacex-secures-70m-us-space-force-contract-as-elon-musk-reaffirms-civilian-focus-this-is-the-right-o">SpaceX&#8217;s recent $70 million deal</a> with the U.S. Space Force for the Starshield program, emphasizing the company&#8217;s growing role in national security.
The contract, signed in September 2023, marked SpaceX&#8217;s first foray into providing comprehensive Starshield services.

What Happened: On Friday, U.S. District Judge James Donato&nbsp;gave the green light to Google&#8217;s plea to postpone the restructuring of its Android app store, reported Reuters.
The original order, issued on Oct. 7, was a result of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41375089/google-urges-9th-circuit-to-halt-dangerous-epic-ruling-cites-substantial-new-security-risks">an antitrust lawsuit filed</a> by Epic Games, the company behind &#8220;Fortnite.&#8221;
However, the judge <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/10/41217379/google-must-open-play-store-to-competitors-judge-orders">rejected Google&#8217;s plea to suspend</a> the order throughout&nbsp;its broader appeal in the&nbsp;case.

The delay enables&nbsp;the 9th U.S. Circuit Court&nbsp;of Appeals to review Google&#8217;s separate appeal to suspend the judge&#8217;s order.
Google welcomed the ruling, expressing satisfaction with the decision to temporarily halt the implementation of &#8220;dangerous remedies demanded by Epic.&#8221;
 Epic Games dismissed the ruling as a procedural step and accused Google of leveraging&nbsp;&#8220;fear-mongering and unsubstantiated security threats&#8221; to retain control over Android devices, the report noted.

Why It Matters: The lawsuit by Epic Games led to a jury verdict last year that Google had <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/24/09/41098067/epic-games-files-new-antitrust-lawsuit-against-google-samsung-over-app-store-restrictions">illegally monopolized the way</a>&nbsp;consumers download apps on Android&nbsp;devices and how they pay&nbsp;for in-app transactions.
Google has already appealed these&nbsp;antitrust findings to the 9th&nbsp;Circuit.
Previously, Google contended that the injunction would pose&nbsp;&#8220;serious safety, security, and privacy&nbsp;risks&#8221; to the Android ecosystem.
The tech giant also argued it cannot be classified as a monopolist because Play Store competes directly with Apple&#8217;s App Store.

Google Gets Temporary Relief In Epic Games Lawsuit, Play Store To Remain Closed To Competitors For Now

Former President Donald Trump is contemplating legal action against CBS, a unit of Paramount Global (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PARA#NASDAQ">PARA</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PARAA#NASDAQ">PARAA</a>) alleging deceptive editing of a &#8220;60 Minutes&#8221;&nbsp;interview with Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris.
What Happened: During a conversation with podcast host Dan Bongino, Trump accused CBS of broadcasting a condensed version of Harris&#8217;s discussion&nbsp;with journalist Bill Whitaker.
Trump believes the interview was manipulated to present Vice President Harris positively.
He called for the release of the uncut tapes of the interview, saying, &#8220;I think I&#8217;m&nbsp;going to sue them actually.&nbsp;I think so. No, you&nbsp;know what, they can&#8217;t&nbsp;defend it, and if they&nbsp;do, and even if they&nbsp;win, it&#8217;s going to be very embarrassing.&#8221;

CBS initially aired a truncated version of Harris&#8217;s&nbsp;answer to a question about&nbsp;the Gaza war but later posted the full transcript of her comments online, <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4942021-trump-thinks-sue-cbs-60-minutes/">according</a> to The Hill.
Previously, the former President also took to Truth Social and called for the release of the tapes.

Why It Matters: Earlier this month, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41133540/trump-backs-out-of-planned-60-minutes-interview-ex-presidents-campaign-says-cbs-asked-for-unpreceden">Trump pulled&nbsp;out of a &#8220;60 Minutes&#8221; interview</a> after initially agreeing to the pre-election special, as per CBS.
Despite Trump's withdrawal, CBS News confirmed that the election special would proceed as planned, featuring the interview with Harris. At the time, the network also reiterated its standing invitation to Trump for an interview.
Meanwhile, Harris has been ramping up&nbsp;her own criticisms of Trump&#8217;s physical and mental health, saying that he seems fatigued on the campaign trail. Following the release of her own medical report, she urged Trump to follow suit and make his medical records public.
A tight contest between Trump and Harris is anticipated in the polls for the 2024 presidential election. Betting prediction markets have been showing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/10/41393683/trump-vs-harris-swing-state-battle-musk-says-thats-why-im-in-pennsylvania-with-kalshi-prediction">wide swings on the leading candidate</a>.

("Village Farms" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VFF#NASDAQ">VFF</a>) has received notification from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") that it is not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement (NASDAQ Listing Rule) as the bid price for the Company's common shares closed below US $1.00 (the "Minimum Bid Requirement") from September 6, 2024 to October 17, 2024 (the "Notification").
The Notification has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company's common shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Under NASDAQ Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has until April 16, 2025, a period of 180 calendar days from the date of Notification (the "Compliance Period") to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement.

If at any time before April 16, 2025, the bid price of Village Farms' common shares closes at or above US $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, it is expected that Nasdaq would notify the Company that it has regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement.
In the event the Company does not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement by April 16, 2025, the Company may be eligible for an additional period of 180 calendar days to regain compliance or may be subject to delisting of its common shares from the Nasdaq Capital Market, at which time the Company may appeal the delisting determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.

However, there can be no assurance that Nasdaq will accept the plan, that the Company will regain compliance within any additional compliance period, or that the Company will maintain compliance with the other Nasdaq listing requirements.

The Kentucky General Assembly's Administrative Regulation Review Subcommittee has officially approved a set of regulations for medical cannabis businesses ahead of the program's January 1, 2025 launch. 
These <a href="https://apps.legislature.ky.gov/law/kar/titles/915/">regulations</a> outline application fees, annual licensing costs, and safety compliance standards for businesses aiming to participate in Kentucky's budding medical cannabis market, <a href="https://www.kentuckytoday.com/news/medical-cannabis-regulations-approved/article_b457ecba-8c01-11ef-a5e4-9f32b53d2a41.html">reported</a> Kentucky Today.
Cultivators fall under four tiers, with non-refundable application fees ranging from $3,000 to $30,000, based on the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/23/10/35504268/scaling-profits-with-multi-tier-cannabis-cultivation-growglides-lego-like-solution">scale of cultivation</a>. For processors and dispensaries, the fee is set at $5,000, while safety compliance facilities will pay $3,000. Once approved, annual fees range from $12,000 to $100,000 depending on the tier.

Kentucky's Office of Medical Cannabis executive director, Sam Flynn said there&#8217;s huge interest in the program, with nearly 5,000 applicants submitting their proposals.
"The total number of applications was 4,998," Flynn stated, highlighting that 4,075 were dispensaries and 923 were cultivators, processors, or compliance facilities. 
The initial wave of applications generated an impressive $27.7 million in non-refundable fees.
However, Flynn noted that these fees represent a one-time revenue stream. To maintain program sustainability, patient fees &#8211; set at $25 for both initial applications and annual renewals &#8211; will help support ongoing costs. The potential need for additional general fund appropriations may arise in the future to cover shortfalls.
Kentucky recently awarded its first <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/09/41059061/kentucky-moves-closer-to-medical-cannabis-rollout-with-first-license-awarded-to-testing-lab">medical cannabis </a>license to a testing lab.
Meanwhile, Kentucky is gearing up for its next step, with plans to distribute licenses to cultivators and processors through a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/09/41059061/kentucky-moves-closer-to-medical-cannabis-rollout-with-first-license-awarded-to-testing-lab">lottery system</a> set for October 28.

Many investors still hold high regard for the <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/sectors/computer-and-technology/">technology sector</a> in the United States today, which makes sense as the services PMI index is carrying most&mdash;if not all&mdash;of the economic growth left in the country, compared to the 23-month contraction in the <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/sectors/manufacturing/">manufacturing sector</a>, as seen in that PMI index. However, not all technology sectors are equal.
The <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/compare-stocks/semiconductor-stocks/">semiconductor and chipmaking</a> niche of the sector receives special attention, which has been present all of 2024 and extrapolated since the shortages seen since the COVID-19 pandemic. In recent quarters, all the pressure seems to have been placed on shares of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tsm#NYSE">TSM</a>), the global leader in chip sales with major customers all over the sector.
However, investors might have been concerned after seeing NVIDIA Co. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nvidia#NASDAQ">NVIDIA</a>) sell-off after its last quarter, which announced a state of &quot;<a href="https://www.hindustantimes.com/business/nvidias-ceo-jensen-huang-says-new-chip-will-have-lots-and-lots-of-supply-101725536426366.html">lots and lots of supply</a>,&quot; according to its CEO, which would ultimately hurt margins and earnings per share (EPS). More recently, ASML Holding (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/asml#NASDAQ">ASML</a>) stock sold off by over 17% in a single day after <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stock-ideas/asmls-earnings-miss-opens-door-for-savvy-investors/">missing booking guidance</a>.
<h3>Taiwan Semiconductor Stock Soars 12%: Strong Earnings and Growing Demand Fuel Rally</h3>
To ease some of the ASML and NVIDIA concerns, Taiwan Semiconductor stock rallied by over 12% in a single day following the blowout earnings results posted. This may have caused a surprise figure to outperform some of its peers during the quarter.
Investors <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stock-ideas/taiwan-semiconductor-stock-buy-now-or-wait-for-earnings/">would have been ready</a> for this rally by looking at a few metrics beforehand. Some of these metrics include the monthly revenue growth rate and the fact that markets were willing to pay a premium valuation only to get exposure to the company&#39;s future earnings, which is often a bullish sign.
Building on these views&nbsp;that investors enjoyed the rally, here&#39;s what investors can now keep in mind moving forward and decide whether there is still further upside left in Taiwan Semiconductor stock. To start with revenue, the&nbsp;<a href="https://pr.tsmc.com/english/news/3180" rel="noopener" target="_blank">company&#39;s earnings press release</a> shows a jump of 39% over the past 12 months.
Then, investors can lean on the fact that the company&#39;s net income jumped by 54% during the quarter to significantly boost potential valuation targets from Wall Street analysts. But that&#39;s all in the past; in order to accurately predict the stock&#39;s value, investors need to look into the future.
Easing some of the fears of demand from the industry, the company&#39;s CEO said, &quot;Demand is real, and I believe it&#39;s just the beginning,&quot; speaking of other peers in the space like NVIDIA. These words were quantified further after the statement, though management guidance to blow most expectations out of proportion.
Revenue projections, even after a 54% jump over the past quarter, are still expected to outpace current guidance projections. For the next quarter, Taiwan Semiconductor management expects to deliver up to $26.9 billion in revenues compared to the estimate of $24.9 billion.
Not only is revenue expected to rise by another double-digit rate, but here&#39;s where valuations can be boosted in the coming months. Gross margins are guided to land nearer to 57% against the former consensus of 54.7%, which speaks to the state of pricing power present in the industry as demand outpaces supply to help costs and prices.
<h3>Wall Street Weighs In On Taiwan Semiconductor Stock: What Investors Can Expect Next</h3>
Recently, analysts at Needham &amp; Co. decided to reiterate their &quot;Buy&quot; rating on Taiwan Semiconductor stock on the day of earnings. Still, their valuations seem a bit out of touch. They see the stock going to $210, which is still roughly a dollar lower than where it rallied.
More significant is the previous price target set by those at Susquehanna in August 2024. Those analysts saw a &quot;Positive&quot; rating for the stock, this time boosting their targets and <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NYSE/TSM/forecast/">valuation up to $250 a share</a> to call for a further 18.5% upside from where the stock trades today.
Realizing that the demand trends might favor more profitability and margins in the industry, bearish traders decided to step away from the market during the past quarter. Taiwan Semiconductor stock&#39;s short interest has declined from $5.6 billion at the peak of last quarter <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NYSE/TSM/short-interest/">to $4.5 billion today</a>.
As the stock rallies by double-digits this week, more short sellers might be forced to cover their positions and add additional buying pressure to a stock whose bullish momentum seems to just be getting started.
