Why You Can Expect More Nordic Companies To Cross-Trade In The US In 2020

IDEX Biometrics ASA

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/11/35557096/billionaire-investor-ron-baron-says-elon-musks-spacex-can-be-even-bigger-than-tesla-by-next-decade">SpaceX</a> CEO Elon Musk on Friday questioned the European Space Agency&#8217;s reusability attempts with its Ariane 6 launch vehicle. 
What Happened: &#8220;Reusability plans?&#8221; Musk wrote in response to the picture of the second booster of Ariane 6 shared by the agency on X. 
<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">Reusability plans?
&mdash; Elon Musk (@elonmusk) <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1783892306590081283?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 26, 2024</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
The booster in the picture will help power the rocket&#8217;s first flight to space in summer, ESA said. 
Ariane 6 was initially expected to fly in 2020 but faced several delays. With Ariane 6&#8217;s predecessor Ariane 5 having its last flight in July and the Vega-C rocket being taken out of service in December 2022 following a failure, the European Space Agency is now left with no autonomous access to space. 
The Ariane 6, therefore, is a major focus point for the European space industry. The launch vehicle is manufactured by ArianeGroup, a joint venture between Airbus and Safran. 
Reusability In The Space Industry: Ariane 6 is not reusable but expendable, meaning it can only be launched once. Musk&#8217;s SpaceX, meanwhile, is attempting to make its rockets reusable to bring down the cost of spaceflight.
In July 2023, Musk warned that rocket manufacturers will <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/07/33383081/elon-musk-tells-rocket-makers-go-all-in-on-reusability-or-be-utterly-uncompetitive">need to go all-in on reusability</a> or risk being uncompetitive. 
&#8220;Rockets are no different from other transport technologies, just harder to make reusable. No one would buy a single-use airplane, car or even bicycle! You&#8217;d need to tow another car just for the return trip,&#8221; Musk then said.

Thinking What To Watch This Weekend? Here Are Our Fresh Picks Streaming On Hulu And Disney+

In a surprising turn of events,&nbsp;Joe Biden&nbsp;has expressed his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/03/37550422/trump-ready-to-debate-biden-anytime-anywhere-anyplace-how-media-companies-shareholders-could-be-">willingness to engage in a debate</a> with&nbsp;Donald Trump&nbsp;ahead of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election">2024 general election</a>, a stark contrast to his previous reservations.
What Happened: In an interview with radio host&nbsp;Howard Stern on Friday, President Biden stated his readiness to debate Trump. This marks a shift from his earlier stance, where he said his participation depends on Trump&#8217;s &#8220;behavior,&#8221; <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-04-26/biden-says-he-would-debate-trump-after-having-expressed-doubts?srnd=politics-vp">reported</a> Bloomberg.
&#8220;I am, somewhere. I don't know when. I'm happy to debate him,&#8221; Biden said. 
Trump, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37505302/nikki-haley-to-withdraw-from-2024-presidential-race-paves-way-for-trumps-gop-victory-report">presumptive GOP nominee</a>,&nbsp;had previously expressed his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/03/37550422/trump-ready-to-debate-biden-anytime-anywhere-anyplace-how-media-companies-shareholders-could-be-">willingness to debate Biden</a> under any circumstances. &#8220;I am calling for Debates, ANYTIME, ANYWHERE, ANYPLACE! The Debates can be run by the Corrupt DNC, or their subsidiary, the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD),&#8221; he said last month. 
See Also:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38405064/anthony-scaramucci-says-nikki-haley-is-still-polling-nicely-in-pa-despite-ending-bid-against-trump-a?itm_source=parsely-api" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Anthony Scaramucci Says Nikki Haley Is Still Polling &#8216;Nicely&#8217; In PA, Despite Ending Bid Against Trump: &#8216;And If You Are With Him: CRY&#8217;</a>
However, the Republican National Committee had announced that their nominee would not&nbsp;participate in debates hosted by&nbsp;the nonpartisan Commission on Presidential&nbsp;Debates, citing bias.
During the interview, Biden also criticized Trump&#8217;s support for the individuals&nbsp;who stormed the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38327539/trumps-bid-to-pause-jan-6-capitol-riot-case-denied-by-judge">U.S. Capitol&nbsp;on Jan. 6, 2021</a>, and his&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/23/03/31177649/if-trump-were-president-putin-would-have-invaded-poland-too-scaramucci">reported comments mocking</a> fallen U.S.&nbsp;soldiers. He expressed his readiness to confront Trump on these issues on a debate stage.
&#8220;Trump makes fun of me,&#8221; Biden said, describing Trump as the kind of individual &#8220;you wish you could have got in the neighborhood and meet head-to-head.&#8221;
Why It Matters: The 2024 presidential election is shaping up to be a highly competitive race, with both Biden and Trump emerging as frontrunners, as indicated by the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports-betting/24/04/38417836/trump-and-biden-get-ready-2024-election-betting-odds-point-to-major-showdown">betting odds</a>. The election is expected to be a close contest, with swing states showing a tight race between the two candidates.
Meanwhile, Trump&#8217;s financial situation has been under scrutiny, with the former president facing a hefty fine for fraud charges. His ability to repay the fine has been questioned, with some speculating whether his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/04/38461151/donald-trumps-crypto-investments-could-help-pay-back-his-450m-in-damages">crypto investments</a> could help him settle the debt.
<a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">According</a> to Real Clear Politics, at the national level, Trump held 44.8% support among voters, While Biden trailed with 44.5% support.

Joe Biden Reverses Stance, Agrees To Debate Ex-President Ahead Of 2024 Rematch: 'Trump Makes Fun Of Me'

Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk on Friday urged his X followers and fellow Tesla drivers to drive the supervised version of the company&#8217;s Full Self-driving software. 
What Happened: &#8220;Try out Tesla supervised full self-driving and you&#8217;ll be amazed!,&#8221; Musk wrote on X, formerly Twitter. 
<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">Try out Tesla supervised full self-driving and you'll be amazed! <a href="https://t.co/ZQ3mYV27DN">https://t.co/ZQ3mYV27DN</a>
&mdash; Elon Musk (@elonmusk) <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1783971365349171640?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 26, 2024</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Full Self-driving or FSD refers to Tesla&#8217;s driver assistance software which the company says will enable autonomous driving in due time. It currently requires active driver supervision but is expected to &#8220;be&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37812316/tesla-fsd-should-be-really-shining-bright-by-late-april-or-early-may-says-ceo-elon-musk" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">really shining bright</a>&#8221; by late April or May, Musk stated in March.
During Tesla&#8217;s first-quarter earnings call earlier this week, the CEO <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38397845/tesla-will-solve-autonomy-even-if-i-got-kidnapped-by-aliens-tomorrow-says-elon-musk-as-he-reveals-ta">reiterated his optimism </a>and said, "Even if I got kidnapped by aliens tomorrow, Tesla&nbsp;will&nbsp;solve autonomy, maybe a little slower, but it would solve autonomy for vehicles at least." 
"If somebody doesn't believe Tesla is going to solve autonomy, I think they should not be an investor in the company," he added.
Earlier this month, Tesla announced that its cars have driven one billion miles with FSD software, a significant increase from the end of 2023 when FSD-driven miles were below 800 million.
"Won&#8217;t be long before Tesla exceeds 10B miles of FSD," Musk&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38120491/elon-musk-reacts-as-tesla-celebrates-1b-miles-driven-with-fsd-software-wont-be-long-before-10b-miles" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">had then remarked</a>.
Why It Matters: Tesla is currently actively trying to increase the take rate for its software. In late March, Tesla started rolling out a 30-day free trial of its FSD to all customers in the U.S. who did not purchase it. Musk also reportedly instructed staff to provide new vehicle buyers with a short ride&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38019042/teslas-chief-designer-gives-demo-drives-of-full-self-driving-features-to-customers-after-elon-musks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">demonstrating the capabilities&nbsp;</a>of Tesla's driver-assist features in real-time.
Furthermore, Tesla cut the price of its full self-driving (FSD) driver assistance software to $8,000 from $12,000,<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38351810/tesla-fsd-is-now-nearly-50-cheaper-than-when-elon-musk-called-it-very-low-just-under-a-year-ago"> marking a price cut of about 33%</a>, over the last weekend.

'You'll Be Amazed:' Elon Musk Urges Tesla Drivers To Try Supervised Full Self-Driving Software

Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) is currently in a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/04/38471459/bitcoin-ethereum-dogecoin-on-shaky-ground-crypto-veteran-sees-bitcoin-still-stuck-in-range">precarious position</a>, with a potential downside looming, according to a prominent crypto analyst.
What Happened: The analyst, known by the pseudonym RektCapital, has cautioned that Bitcoin may be heading for another downturn within the next two weeks.
Rekt Capital, who has a following of over 74,000 subscribers on YouTube, has compared the current Bitcoin correction to its 2016 halving price action. He pointed out that in 2016, Bitcoin experienced two corrective waves, one before the halving and another after it.
"If we think about the pre-halving danger zone [now], we need to also potentially factor in or at least consider a potential danger zone after the halving – so, a second danger zone."
The analyst believes that Bitcoin could potentially witness another pullback in the coming weeks, based on this historical precedent.
Rekt Capital suggested that Bitcoin could remain within the post-halving danger zone until next month, based on historical price action.
He also highlighted the significance of Bitcoin&#8217;s current support zone, around the $60,000 price, and its potential to endure over the next couple of weeks.

Why It Matters: The warning from Rekt Capital comes at a time when the cryptocurrency market is experiencing a period of uncertainty.
Bitcoin, Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), and Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) were trading in the red on Friday, with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/04/38471459/bitcoin-ethereum-dogecoin-on-shaky-ground-crypto-veteran-sees-bitcoin-still-stuck-in-range">global concerns</a> adding to the market&#8217;s instability.
However, some analysts see this period of consolidation as the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/04/38463604/bitcoins-consolidation-is-the-calm-before-the-storm-veteran-trader-lark-davis-writes">&#8220;calm before the storm.&#8221;</a> Veteran cryptocurrency influencer Lark Davis, for instance, believes that despite the consolidation, there are several bullish factors for Bitcoin&#8217;s price.

Bitcoin Faces 'Second Danger Zone' As Analyst Warns Of Potential Downside: Here's What To Expect

Walmart Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) CEO Doug McMillon was paid 976 times a median associate in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38313218/amazon-aims-to-outdo-walmarts-retail-game-boosts-cashierless-tech-in-stores">world&#8217;s largest retail company</a> over the last fiscal year.
What Happened: McMillon was paid $26.97 million last fiscal year as compared to the annual total compensation of a median associate which was $27,642, the company said in a filing on Thursday.
As of December 31, 2023, Walmart employed about 2.15 associates worldwide, with over 2 million employed just in the U.S. The company has over 5000 stores in the U.S. and accumulated consolidated revenue of $648.1 billion and consolidated operating income of $27 billion over the past fiscal year. 
McMillon had a base salary of over $1.5 million, received stock awards of $19.61 million and other compensation of about $5.85 million, taking his cumulative salary for the fiscal year ended Jan. 31 to $26.97 million or 6.6% higher than the fiscal year before. 
Why It Matters: The pay disparity between CEOs and their employees has been a contentious issue for some time. The significant difference in McMillon&#8217;s compensation compared to the median Walmart employee&#8217;s earnings highlights this ongoing debate. This disparity is even more pronounced when compared to other retail giants like Target and Costco, where the CEO-to-worker pay ratios are significantly lower.
Earlier, this month planemaker Boeing said that the company paid its outgoing CEO David Calhoun $32.8 million as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38130210/elon-musk-reacts-as-boeing-ceo-david-calhoun-receives-33m-compensation-in-2023-despite-airplane-make">total compensation in 2023.</a> While Calhoun's salary only accounts for $1.4 million of his total compensation, he received $30.2 million in stock awards and $1.2 million as all other compensation last year, Boeing said in a regulatory filing.
Price Action: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/04/38429785/this-walmart-landlord-has-generated-a-14-net-irr-for-its-investors-since-2015-here-are-its-latest-in">Walmart</a> stock fell 0.08% to $60.16 per share on Friday, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>. As of the stock&#8217;s previous close, the company has a market cap of $485.28 billion, significantly higher than Target Corp&#8216;s $75.92 billion or Costco Wholesale Corporation&#8216;s $320.15 billion.

Why It Matters: Jennifer, the oldest daughter of Bill and Melinda, has been making headlines for her achievements. Earlier this year, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/02/37191952/bill-gates-daughter-grateful-her-parents-let-kids-carve-their-own-path-thats-how-i-came-int">she shared insights into her life</a>, expressing gratitude toward her parents. 
&#8220;I think they really focused on us carving our own path in the world and not feeling like we either had to follow in their footsteps or that that was even really an option for us,&#8221; she said at the time. 
Bill and Melinda are also grandparents, with Jennifer giving birth to her first child with equestrian Nayel Nassar in March 2023.

Bill Gates Shares Heartwarming Scuba Diving Photo With Daughter On Her 28th Birthday: 'I'm In Awe Of How You Dive Headfirst Into Everything.'

Former President Donald Trump's Trump Media &amp; Technology Group (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DJT#NASDAQ">DJT</a>) stock has had a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/04/38337541/trump-media-technology-group-alleges-naked-short-selling-seeks-nasdaqs-intervention">turbulent first month</a> on the markets, described as &#8220;abnormally volatile&#8221; by a financial expert.
What Happened: The stock of Trump Media, the company behind the social media platform Truth Social of former President Trump, has been highly unstable since its debut on the Nasdaq on March 26.
The stock, under the ticker DJT, experienced significant fluctuations in its first month, with its price reaching as high as $79.38 on the first trading day.
However, the stock took a nosedive a week later following the revelation of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/04/38162576/heres-how-much-trump-lost-after-his-newly-listed-djt-stock-erased-all-gains-since-public-debut">substantial operational losses</a> in 2023, the planned resale of most of its outstanding securities, and the announcement of its live TV streaming platform.
"It's been abnormally volatile — as volatile as any stock I can ever recall being," said Morningstar's vice president of research, John Rekenthaler, <a href="https://qz.com/trump-media-stock-djt-nasdaq-volatile-morningstar-1851435908">reported</a> Quartz.
This rollercoaster ride can be attributed to the significant influence of retail investors, who often trade based on sentiment rather than business performance.

Trump Media CEO Devin Nunes has alleged that the company&#8217;s stock is being illegally traded through a practice known as &#8220;naked&#8221; short-selling. Despite the company&#8217;s plans to launch a live TV streaming platform linked to Truth Social, the stock continued to plummet.
Why It Matters: Short-sellers have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/04/38410320/stock-manipulation-in-trump-media-technology-group-stock-ceo-devin-nunes-urges-house-gop-leaders">reportedly made</a> millions of dollars from the newly public stock, with Nunes urging House GOP leaders to investigate potential stock manipulation and anomalous trading.
The accounting firm contracted by Trump Media was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/04/38427342/trumps-social-media-company-auditor-misspells-own-name-14-times-in-regulatory-filings-report">found to have used 14 different versions</a> of the auditor&#8217;s name in regulatory filings, raising concerns about the company&#8217;s financial oversight.
Price Action: Trump Media stock rose 7.92% to close at $41.54 on Friday, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.
