A recent survey revealed that more than half of voters back pop star <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/taylor-swift" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Taylor Swift</a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/taylor-swift" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&#8216;s</a> initiative to encourage her fans to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/09/40869299/mother-sells-taylor-swift-tickets-over-stars-endorsement-of-kamala-harris-im-gonna-shake-it" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">participate in this year&#8217;s election</a>.
However, this support has dropped by 15 points since February, partly due to a conspiracy theory suggesting the Super Bowl was rigged, <a href="https://thehill.com/blogs/in-the-know/4888659-taylor-swift-voter-turnout-effort/?tbref=hp\" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a> The Hill, citing the latest Monmouth University <a href="https://www.monmouth.edu/polling-institute/reports/monmouthpoll_us_091924/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">poll</a>.
&#8220;Interestingly, support for the singer&#8217;s get-out-the-vote (GOTV) efforts were much higher <a href="https://www.monmouth.edu/polling-institute/reports/monmouthpoll_us_021424/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">seven months ago</a>, when she was the subject of a debunked conspiracy theory around the election and the Super Bowl,&#8221; said Patrick Murray, director of the independent Monmouth University Polling Institute.
Swift has been recognized for directing a massive influx of over 330,000 visitors to vote.gov,&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/09/40807445/taylor-swift-says-i-will-be-casting-my-vote-for-kamala-harris-and-tim-walz-takes-a-dig-at-j" rel="noreferrer noopener">following her public endorsement</a>&nbsp;of Vice President&nbsp;Kamala Harris. This surge occurred less than 24 hours after Swift&#8217;s endorsement after the&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40806876/final-showdown-trump-and-harris-face-off-in-intense-debate-just-eight-weeks-before-election-day" rel="noreferrer noopener">debate between</a>&nbsp;Harris and former President&nbsp;Donald Trump.

However, the poll shows that 53% of voters support Taylor Swift&#8217;s efforts to encourage her fans to vote, while 35 percent disapprove, The Hill added. Additionally, 12% of respondents indicated that they were unsure.
&#8220;Republicans were wary of Swift all along. What we don&#8217;t know is whether this will have any effect on the part of her fan base who already leans right,&#8221; Murray added.
Swift is currently in a relationship with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and was present at the team&#8217;s Super Bowl game against the San Francisco 49ers in Las Vegas. During that time, a conspiracy theory emerged suggesting that the game might be manipulated to benefit the Chiefs and maximize exposure for a potential Swift endorsement of President Biden.
No evidence supported this theory, nor had Swift made any endorsements at that point. However, Monmouth noted a significant decline in support for Swift&#8217;s voting initiatives following the conspiracy, the report added.
Despite Taylor Swift&#8217;s endorsement of the Democrats, an ABC News/Ipsos poll conducted earlier this week revealed that 81% of respondents believe her support for Kamala Harris will not affect their voting decisions.
Only 6% indicated they were more likely to vote for Harris due to Swift&#8217;s endorsement, while 13% said it made them less inclined to support the Democratic ticket, The Hill added.

Support For Taylor Swift's Get-Out-The-Vote Efforts Have Dropped 15 Points Since February Amid Super Bowl Conspiracy Theory

Employees at OpenAI have voiced their dissatisfaction with the company&#8217;s proposed new logo, which they have described as &#8220;ominous&#8221; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37440684/openais-sam-altman-has-an-estimated-2-billion-net-worth-and-much-of-it-doesnt-come-from-ai">and lacking in creativity</a>.
What Happened: The proposed logo – a large black &#8220;O&#8221; – was revealed at a recent company-wide meeting. This new design is a stark contrast to the current hexagonal flower symbol, which was designed to symbolize &#8220;precision, potential, and optimism.&#8221;
The unveiling of the new design was met with shock and disapproval, with some employees openly expressing their dislike during the meeting, <a href="https://fortune.com/2024/09/20/openai-staffers-unhappy-new-logo-design-ominous/">reports</a> Fortune. 
Insiders suggest that the logo redesign is part of a larger company overhaul scheduled for 2025. This revamp aligns with a planned significant modification to OpenAI&#8217;s corporate structure and an increased emphasis on revenue and investors.
The redesign process, which began about a year ago, is being handled by an internal team. This team consists of new hires from creative agencies and fields such as graphic design. The company&#8217;s current logo, referred to as &#8220;our most recognizable brand element,&#8221; was also developed internally.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40764804/whats-the-secret-openai-is-battling-to-keep-co-founders-files-confidential-heres-why">What&#8217;s The Secret? OpenAI Is Battling To Keep Co-Founder&#8217;s Files Confidential, Here&#8217;s Why</a>
Despite the strong reactions, the design of the new logo may undergo further changes, considering the staff&#8217;s attachment to the current logo and the negative feedback received. The final design is expected to be revealed as early as next year.
Why It Matters: The logo redesign is indicative of the broader changes taking place within OpenAI. As the company shifts its focus towards revenue and investors, it is also altering its corporate structure and brand identity. 
The strong reactions from employees highlight the significance of these changes and the potential impact they could have on the company&#8217;s culture and public perception. 
The final design of the logo, expected to be unveiled next year, will be a key indicator of the direction OpenAI is taking in this new phase of its evolution.

OpenAI's Employees See This Latest Creation As 'Ominous' – What Is It?

Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, has been seen sporting luxury watches that rival the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39999229/dont-look-now-but-zuckerbergs-threads-is-picking-up-steam">cost of a Tesla Cybertruck</a>.
What Happened: Zuckerberg was recently seen wearing a De Bethune DB 25 Starry Varius watch during an <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QciJ9ubeLQk">interview</a>.
According to the report <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/09/19/lifestyle/mark-zuckerberg-wears-watch-that-costs-as-much-as-a-cybertruck/">by</a> The New York Post, this luxury timepiece is estimated to be worth between $90,000 and $95,700, nearly the price of a Tesla Cybertruck, which is listed at $99,990.
Earlier this month, Zuckerberg was photographed on Instagram alongside his wife, Priscilla Chan, wearing a Patek Phillipe watch — a 5236P model, which carries a price tag of more than $141,000.

This change in Zuckerberg&#8217;s style is a noticeable departure from his typical wardrobe of hoodies, jeans, and sneakers. His new fashion choices include designer pieces like an Alexander McQueen suit decorated with silver dragonflies.
Despite the speculation surrounding his style evolution, a spokesperson for Meta confirmed to The Times that Zuckerberg &#8220;mostly buys clothes he finds on Instagram&#8221; and occasionally seeks advice for formal events and occasions.
Why It Matters: Venky Ganesan, a partner at Menlo Ventures, suggests that Zuckerberg&#8217;s style evolution could be &#8220;very good for business.&#8221; 
As the CEO of a major tech company, his personal brand and image can influence public perception of the company. His shift towards more luxurious attire could reflect the company&#8217;s growth and success.

Mark Zuckerberg Flaunts Watches Valued at a Cybertruck's Price

Many Americans are banking on working longer to make up for a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/08/40295808/youre-40-50-or-60-do-you-know-how-much-you-should-have-saved-for-retirement-by-now">lack of retirement savings</a>. According to a recent CNBC and SurveyMonkey survey, about 27% of workers plan to stay employed during their retirement years to boost their income.&nbsp;
The poll, conducted in early August, included over 6,600 U.S. adults, split between retirees and those still in the workforce.
Don't Miss:

<li>Can you guess how many retire with a $5,000,000 nest egg? &#8211;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/retire-5mil-nest-egg"> How does it compare to the average?</a></li>
<li>Founder of Personal Capital and ex-CEO of PayPal<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/evergreen-money"> re-engineers traditional banking with this new high-yield account — start saving better today.</a></li>
</ul>
It's a strategy that sounds solid at first glance. After all, staying employed into your 60s or 70s should allow you to continue earning money while giving your retirement savings more time to grow. But according to financial experts, this plan might not be as foolproof as it seems.
The Risk of Working Longer
While extending your working years is appealing, it doesn't always go according to plan. Health issues or unexpected layoffs can suddenly throw a wrench in those plans. "It sounds great on paper," said Philip Chao, founder of Experiential Wealth in Maryland. "But reality could be very different."
If workers are forced out of the job market sooner than expected, they may find themselves scrambling to stretch out their retirement savings, and that's where things can get tricky.

Early Retirement Happens More Often Than You Think
Data shows that many Americans end up retiring earlier than they intended. According to a Gallup poll, a consistent five-year gap exists between when people expect to retire and when they do. In 2023, for instance, non-retirees anticipated working until age 66, but most retirees had <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/04/38439971/should-you-begin-collecting-social-security-at-62-67-or-70-the-right-answer-may-depend-on-your-b">left the workforce by 62</a>.
This trend isn't new. Research from the <a href="https://www.ebri.org/docs/default-source/rcs/2023-rcs/rcs_23-fs-2.pdf?sfvrsn=708d392f_4#:~:text=The%20RCS%20has%20consistently%20found,'%20expectations%20and%20retirees'%20experiences.">Employee Benefit Research Institute</a> (EBRI) shows that 46% of retirees <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/06/39497325/the-average-millennial-expects-to-retire-before-60-why-many-think-this-is-unattainable">left the workforce earlier than planned</a>. So while a third of workers say they aim to retire at 70 or later – or maybe never – only 6% of retirees manage to stick around that long.
Trending: The number of ‘401(k)' Millionaires is up 43% from last year —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/401k-millionaires"> Here are three ways to join the club.</a>
The "Escape Valve" That Might Not Work
Many Americans rely on the idea of pushing back retirement as a kind of "escape valve" for financial security. However, as Chao puts it, "saying it and doing it are two totally different things." He warns that this assumption could be a "very dangerous" gamble.
The reasons for those who retire earlier than expected are often out of their control. According to the EBRI survey, 35% retired early due to health issues or disabilities, while 31% faced company-related changes like layoffs.
Working longer seems like a simple solution to building up retirement funds, but reality is far more unpredictable. Life throws curveballs, and relying too much on a late retirement may not be the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/can-you-guess-how-many-americans-successfully-retire-with-1-million-saved">safety net people think it is</a>. Having other options in place is crucial because sometimes, life has other plans.

People Who Don't Save Enough For Retirement Think Working Longer Will Help – But Experts Warn This 'Escape Valve' Is A Dangerous Gamble

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is preparing to reprimand Elon Musk for his absence from a scheduled hearing. This testimony is part of an ongoing investigation into Musk&#8217;s $44 billion acquisition of X, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40147580/heres-how-an-elon-musk-backed-pac-harnesses-voter-data-to-support-donald-trump">previously known as Twitter</a>.
What Happened: Musk was expected to testify before the SEC on September 10. However, Musk&#8217;s lawyer informed the SEC that Musk had to urgently travel to Cape Canaveral, Florida for the launch of SpaceX&#8217;s Polaris Dawn, thereby missing the testimony.
According to a report <a href="https://thehill.com/policy/technology/4891840-sec-reprimands-elon-musk-twitter/">by</a> The Hill, this is the second time Musk has failed to appear before the SEC in relation to the probe into his acquisition of the social media platform, now known as X.
&#8220;Musk has now failed to appear before the SEC twice: first in September 2023, in defiance of a lawful administrative subpoena, and last week, in defiance of a clear court order,&#8221; stated SEC&#8217;s lawyer Robin Andews in the court filing.
Alex Spiro, Musk&#8217;s lawyer, has labeled the SEC&#8217;s sanctions as &#8220;drastic&#8221; and confirmed that a new date for the testimony has been agreed upon.

He emphasized that the rescheduling was due to a &#8220;critical&#8221; rocket launch and dismissed concerns of a similar emergency happening in the future.
Meanwhile responding to SEC&#8217;s claim Musk went on X and said that &#8216;actual crimes go unpunished&#8217;. 
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Why It Matters: The SEC&#8217;s reprimand of Musk underscores the regulatory body&#8217;s commitment to enforcing compliance, even when dealing with high-profile individuals like Musk. 
This incident also highlights the challenges Musk faces in balancing his responsibilities as CEO of Tesla and his other ventures, such as SpaceX. 
The SEC&#8217;s ongoing probe into Musk&#8217;s acquisition of Twitter, now X, is a significant event, given the size of the deal and the potential implications it could have on the social media landscape. 
The outcome of this investigation could set a precedent for future tech acquisitions and regulatory compliance.

Elon Musk Faces SEC Backlash Over Missed Testimony, Quips 'Actual Crimes Go Unpunished'

The popular party game company Cards Against Humanity has hit Elon Musk&#8217;s SpaceX with a $15 million lawsuit. The lawsuit alleges that SpaceX trespassed and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40762349/x-faces-major-advertiser-exodus-amid-string-of-elon-musk-controversies">caused damage to their land in Texas</a>.
What Happened: Cards Against Humanity has accused SpaceX of trespassing and littering on their land near the Texas-Mexico border. 
The land, which was bought through crowdfunding in 2017, was reportedly cleared of vegetation and used as a dumping ground by SpaceX&#8217;s Starbase.
The lawsuit was lodged in a Texas court last week. Cards Against Humanity alleges that SpaceX offered to buy the land for less than half its value, giving them a 12-hour ultimatum to accept the offer. 
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40866970/new-book-reveals-elon-musks-twitter-buy-fumble-and-mix-up-over-grimes-baby-name">New Book Reveals Elon Musk&#8217;s Twitter Buy Fumble And Mix-Up Over Grimes&#8217; Baby Name</a>
In a <a href="https://www.elonowesyou100dollars.com/">letter</a> posted online, the company said, &#8220;Elon Musk's SpaceX was building some space thing nearby, and he figured he could just dump his s&#8212; all over our gorgeous plot of land without asking. After we caught him, SpaceX gave us a 12-hour ultimatum to accept a lowball offer for less than half our land's value.&#8221;
In a humorous twist, the company suggested they would accept Twitter.com as compensation, a nod to Musk&#8217;s recent $44 billion acquisition of the social media platform.
Despite SpaceX purchasing neighboring lots, it has allegedly ignored the &#8220;no trespassing&#8221; sign on Cards Against Humanity&#8217;s land. 
The lawsuit claims that the land has been used as a staging area for SpaceX&#8217;s construction projects, causing damage and straining the game company&#8217;s relationship with its supporters.
Why It Matters: This lawsuit comes at a time when SpaceX has been expanding its operations in Texas, with the purchase of several neighboring lots. 
The alleged trespassing and damage to Cards Against Humanity&#8217;s land could potentially impact SpaceX&#8217;s reputation and future expansion plans. 
Furthermore, the lawsuit could set a precedent for other landowners in the area who may have similar grievances. As of now, SpaceX has not commented on the lawsuit.

Party Game Company Sues Musk's SpaceX: A $15M Land Dispute That Could Change Everything

Famed data analyst Nate Silver&#8216;s election forecast shows Kamala Harris with a better chance of winning the presidency than Donald Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40669286/harris-vs-trump-this-candidate-leading-in-numerous-polls-transforming-political-landscape">for the first time since August 28</a>.
What Happened: According to his Silver Bulletin <a href="https://www.natesilver.net/p/nate-silver-2024-president-election-polls-model">site</a>, Silver says the race is still up in the air, and the lead could potentially change again due to the forecast being so close to a 50/50 split.
&#8220;Harris is technically the favorite in the model for the first time since Aug. 28 — but the race is a toss-up,&#8221; Silver wrote. He currently gives Harris a 52 percent chance of victory. FiveThirtyEight, founded by but no longer affiliated with Silver, uses a different model that shows Harris with a 60 percent chance of defeating Trump.

Despite Harris&#8217; perceived victory in the presidential debate, Silver&#8217;s model indicates that neither candidate lost or gained much support.
However, Harris did experience a slight increase in support around August 23, following her official nomination as the party&#8217;s candidate at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4890948-vice-president-harris-leads-trump-poll/">reports</a> Business Insider.

In crucial swing states, Silver&#8217;s model shows Harris leading in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Nevada, and Minnesota, while Trump is ahead in North Carolina, Georgia, and Arizona.
The Hill/Decision Desk HQ&#8217;s poll aggregation also shows Harris leading Trump nationally by a 3.6 percentage point margin. However, Silver warned that neither side should be overly confident as &#8220;stranger things have happened than a candidate who was behind in the polls winning.&#8221;

</ul>
Why It Matters: The fluctuating leads in the election forecast underscore the unpredictable nature of the race. 
The fact that Harris has managed to surpass Trump for the first time since August indicates a potential shift in voter sentiment. However, with the race being so close, it&#8217;s clear that the outcome is far from decided.
As the election draws nearer, the focus on key swing states will intensify. The leads that Harris and Trump hold in these states could ultimately determine the election&#8217;s outcome. 
Therefore, the candidates&#8217; strategies in these states will be crucial in the coming weeks.

Nate Silver's Forecast: Kamala Harris Retakes Lead Over Donald Trump

In the wake of a recent Secret Service probe into Elon Musk&#8216;s online remarks, billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban has come to the defense of the Tesla Inc. CEO&#8217;s contentious <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39999410/what-a-second-trump-presidency-would-mean-for-elon-musk-and-his-many-ventures">social media conduct</a>.
What Happened: In a recent podcast <a href="https://youtu.be/QqDPrv8oFyY?feature=shared">interview</a>, Cuban characterized Musk&#8217;s online conduct as &#8220;kind of insane&#8221; but not out of character for the Tesla chief.
The dialogue ensued following Musk&#8217;s recent jest about pop icon Taylor Swift&#8216;s endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris for the presidency. Cuban, who has previously corresponded with Musk, stood up for the tycoon&#8217;s comedic style. In the interview Cuban said that Musk&#8217;s joke was &#8220;kind of insane&#8221; and defended him by saying &#8220;that&#8217;s just the kind of banter you&#8217;d expect from him.&#8221;
Cuban also said that he sent Musk a text once adding that they&#8217;re &#8220;not friends&#8221; but have communicated in the past.
&#8220;We just texted back and forth a few times and he had just had a child, and I said: &#8216;Congrats on your 90th child,'&#8221; Cuban said during the interview.
&#8220;And his response was — &#8216;Mars needs people.&#8217; Right, so that&#8217;s just Elon&#8217;s sense of humor, right? I have no problem throwing Elon under the bus, but I&#8217;ll save it for when it&#8217;s truly deserved,&#8221; he said.

Musk&#8217;s digital behavior has previously gotten him into trouble. In 2018, a tweet about making Tesla a private company resulted in a $40 million agreement with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 
More recently, a tweet speculating about a potential assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump triggered a Secret Service investigation.
The Secret Service verified to Bloomberg that they were cognizant of Musk&#8217;s tweet but refrained from further comments due to ongoing enforcement actions. Musk removed the tweet on the same day, subsequently tagging it as a joke.
Why It Matters: Musk&#8217;s social media behavior has been a topic of controversy and legal scrutiny in the past. His tweets have not only led to legal consequences but also impacted Tesla&#8217;s stock performance. 
Cuban&#8217;s defense of Musk&#8217;s online conduct highlights the ongoing debate about the role and impact of social media in the corporate world, especially when used by high-profile executives. 
This incident underscores the potential legal and reputational risks associated with such behavior.

Mark Cuban Embraces Elon Musk's Humor: 'I Have No Problem Throwing Elon Under The Bus, But I'll Save It For When It's Truly Deserved'

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/elon-musk" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Elon Musk</a> reportedly intensified his political contributions in August, making his largest-known donation to bolster House Republicans&#8217; efforts <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40958452/mark-cuban-says-elon-musk-believes-hes-much-smarter-than-trump-reveals-the-intoxicating-reason-why-t" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">to maintain a vulnerable majority</a>.
The National Republican Congressional Committee announced that it received $289,100 from Musk in August, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.politico.com/news/2024/09/20/elon-musk-political-donations-00180323" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported </a>Politico, citing a report filed with the Federal Election Commission.
Musk&#8217;s political stance has evolved significantly over the years.
In August, Musk explained his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40329702/elon-musk-who-once-queued-for-6-hours-to-shake-obamas-hand-explains-why-hes-now-supporting-trump-my" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">support for Donald Trump</a>, stating that his track record has been moderate and he has not been particularly political in the past. He revealed this during a conversation with Trump, touching on various topics from immigration to electric vehicles.
Musk, one of the world&#8217;s wealthiest individual with a net worth exceeding $250 billion, has previously donated to both Democrats and Republicans, though never in such substantial sums.
In September, Musk commented on a debate between Trump and Harris, expressing&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40808912/elon-musk-says-kamala-harris-exceeded-most-peoples-expectations-but-debate-hosts-were-unfair-to-trum" rel="noreferrer noopener">dissatisfaction with the debate hosts</a> and raising concerns about the lack of discussion on the national debt crisis. He also mentioned that Harris exceeded most people&#8217;s expectations during the debate.

Musk has increased his political engagement lately, developing a connection with Trump by funding America PAC, a pro-Trump organization. This group, which recently experienced a leadership change, is set to significantly aid in voter mobilization efforts for Trump and has begun investing in competitive House races nationwide.
It remains uncertain how much Musk will ultimately invest in the election. In July, the Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/elections/elon-musk-has-said-he-is-committing-around-45-million-a-month-to-a-new-pro-trump-super-pac-dda53823" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">suggested</a> he intended to contribute about $45 million monthly to support Trump, though Musk later refuted this claim. Despite Musk&#8217;s significant donation, the NRCC raised only $9.7 million in August, while its Democratic counterpart collected $22.2 million.
Recently, Musk faced backlash for a&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40890277/elon-musk-says-his-now-deleted-controversial-post-after-latest-trump-assassination-which-was-labeled" rel="noreferrer noopener">controversial post on X</a>, which he later deleted. The post questioned why no one was attempting to assassinate President Joe Biden&nbsp;or Harris, following an assassination attempt on Trump. The White House labeled the post as &#8220;irresponsible.&#8221;

Elon Musk Boosts House Republicans With Record $289,100 Donation

During a recent <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IitdaHy6Q8">episode</a> of his podcast with comedian Tom Segura, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/joe-rogan">Joe Rogan</a> weighed in on former President Donald Trump and his time in the Oval Office. Rogan, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/40909092/joe-rogan-says-education-addiction-recovery-and-homelessness-should-be-funded-more-its-a-good-id">never shy about discussing politics</a>, offered his thoughts on Donald Trump's presidency and why many people remain divided over him.

</ul>
In the conversation, Rogan acknowledged that Trump's time in office wasn't as extreme as some feared it would be: &#8220;Everyone&#8217;s saying he&#8217;s going to be a dictator. Well, he wasn&#8217;t a dictator. He was the president. He actually was the president for four years and the economy really did well and he really did try to cut some of the bullsh&#x2A;t down that&#8217;s going on in this country.&#8221;
However, Rogan also acknowledged what makes Trump such a hard pill to swallow for many. &#8220;The thing that freaks people out,&#8221; Rogan said, &#8220;is not his policies but who he is as a person.&#8221;&nbsp;
Trending: Amid the ongoing EV revolution, previously overlooked low-income communities<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/dunamis-1"> now harbor a huge investment opportunity at just $500.</a>
According to Rogan, Trump's larger-than-life personality and off-the-cuff remarks are what unsettles people the most, especially when he's in such a powerful position. &#8220;We don't necessarily want that as the guy with his finger on the button,&#8221; Rogan added.
The topic then turned to how Trump&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40870455/trump-vows-to-never-surrender-after-surviving-second-assassination-attempt">innate capacity for crowd entertainment – </a>which frequently involves humor and improvisation – adds to this division. Rogan acknowledged that Trump frequently &#8220;kills like a comedian&#8221; and that he can be &#8220;funny.&#8221; "He can go out there, have a crowd of people and just riff. He's funny, man," Rogan told Segura.&nbsp;
Trending: Warren Buffett once said, "If you don't find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die." <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/connect-invest-real-estate-notes">These high-yield real estate notes that pay 7.5% &#8211; 9% make earning passive income easier than ever.</a>
For Rogan, though, that&#8217;s not the whole story. Trump may be able to make people laugh, but Rogan said that many people don&#8217;t want their president to be as entertaining as a stand-up comedian.
In the end, Rogan thinks that different people find Trump intriguing and unsettling because of his unpredictable nature. Although many people like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39761846/trump-left-bloodied-after-shots-fired-at-pennsylvania-rally-evacuated-by-secret-service">Trump&#8217;s boldness</a> and sense of humor, others are worried that someone with such a raw personality can have such a big say in how the nation is run.
Rogan also talked about Kamala Harris's debate performance, saying she did well and was &#8220;way better prepared even when it came to answering tough questions.&#8221; He gave credit to whoever was helping her with speeches and practice, saying they're doing an amazing job. "Whoever's writing those speeches getting her to delivery, coaching her – she&#8217;s nailing," Rogan said.

Joe Rogan Says Trump 'Wasn't A Dictator And The Economy Really Did Well.' Still There's One Thing About Trump That 'Freaks People Out'

Florida Gov. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/ron-desantis">Ron DeSantis</a> (R) is not happy with his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/09/40822693/gop-and-democratic-state-senators-back-floridas-cannabis-legalization-initiative-in-new-ad-as-ba">GOP colleagues</a>, whom he says are not doing enough to stop passage of Florida&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/florida-cannabis">cannabis legalization ballot,</a> known as Amendment 3, which will be voted on at <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/04/38034138/florida-supreme-court-approves-cannabis-legalization-proposal-for-november-election-in-blow-to-d" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the upcoming November elections</a>.
"You say you're all about these issues, and then when it's time to do something about it you're nowhere to be found," DeSantis <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/news/desantis-fumes-over-gop-lawmakers-132007609.html">told</a> a gathering in a Tallahassee church. "That is what courageous leadership is all about."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What's The Problem?</h2>
For starters, the proposed amendment was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/09/40774795/trump-says-hell-reschedule-cannabis-if-elected-backs-marijuana-banking-reform-and-floridas-amend">recently endorsed</a> by former president <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">Donald Trump</a> as well as Florida's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/09/40879364/young-republicans-break-ranks-to-back-cannabis-legalization-is-the-gop-ready-for-a-shift-in-the-">Young Republicans</a>.
This cannabis stand-off between Trump and DeSantis seems to have many State Republicans keeping their weed views to themselves as they weigh their allegiances between the governor and former president amid a close national election and an even closer battle between the yeas and nays of legal cannabis. Although, the Florida Republican Party&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/05/38649648/ron-desantis-plan-to-scuttle-floridas-cannabis-legalization-initiative-with-his-vast-fundraising" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">voted unanimously</a>&nbsp;against the marijuana legalization amendment in May, the situation has drastically changed since then.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How Deep Is The Split?</h2>
Former GOP state senator and legalization supporter Jeff Brandes <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2024/09/19/trump-desantis-florida-marijuana-legalization-ballot-measure-00179847?is_magic_link=true&amp;template_id=OTJIR2CRKUD6&amp;template_variant_id=OTVPXN5JGTYRX">told</a> Politico that at least half of Florida Republican legislators agree with Trump, but they don't want a rift with DeSantis.
"This is just evidence that the legislature is completely impotent when it comes to taking this thing on and doing this legislatively," Brandes told the outlet. "They are unwilling to do the hard work because they don't want the smell of the devil's lettuce on them."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Desperate Move? DeSantis Calls Fraud Among Petition Gatherers</h2>
Meanwhile, supporters of the cannabis initiative and a proposed constitutional amendment enshrining abortion rights met the stringent requirements for gathering petition signatures in accordance with Florida law. However, DeSantis says they're not strict enough and is calling for more anti-fraud measures.
"There's a lot of money that's at stake here," DeSantis said this week,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.orlandoweekly.com/cannabis/florida-gov-desantis-defends-targeting-marijuana-petition-workers-37828705">reported</a> the Orlando Weekly. "People make money off the petition process. There&#8217;s an incentive to commit fraud. The Legislature tried to address it, but I don&#8217;t think that they&#8217;ve addressed it adequately."
