Novo Nordisk, Chewy And FedEx Are Among Top 10 Large Cap Losers Last Week (Sept 15-Sept 21): Are The Others In Your Portfolio?

Many people in their 20s deal with credit card debt or student loans, sometimes thinking they'll figure it out later. But what happens when that debt piles up to nearly a million dollars? That's the reality a 29-year-old named Channing from Washington D.C. faced during an episode of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/40838359/dave-ramsey-says-youre-wasting-5-000-a-year-if-you-spend-13-70-a-day-on-things-you-dont-need">The Dave Ramsey Show.</a>

<ul>

<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>
</ul>
Channing and her husband were grappling with nearly $1 million in debt, a number that had Ramsey quickly diving into tough-love mode. Sure, he's seen scenarios where people are in over their heads with debt, but at just 29, this was particularly alarming to Ramsey.&nbsp;
Channing, who recently married, explained, "My husband and I have probably just under a million dollars in debt and we want to know how to get debt-free without filing for bankruptcy." The breakdown included <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/08/40420920/we-have-the-highest-credit-card-debt-in-the-history-of-earth-says-grant-cardone-america-needs-to">$335,000 in student loans</a>, $136,000 in credit cards and $44,000 in personal loans. Their combined household income was about $230,000 a year.

Ramsey didn't hold back. After calculating the staggering numbers, he addressed the couple's situation bluntly. "You guys have been living at about 10x where you're going to get to live for the next three years," Ramsey said. "I'm getting ready to destroy your life as you know it."
"You've gotten used to spending like you&#8217;re in Congress," he scolded. He was clear that their lifestyle needed a complete overhaul. Ramsey emphasized that their financial habits would have to change drastically, stating, "You're not gonna see the inside of a restaurant unless it's your extra job or you're waiting on someone you work with during the day." He added, "You're gonna be living on beans and rice, rice and beans."

Ramsey went on to stress the emotional and spiritual challenges ahead. "Your friends are going to think you've lost your mind and your mother is going to think you need counseling," he warned, adding that both Channing and her husband would need to stop caring what others think if they wanted to tackle their debt successfully.
He also shared a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/03/37588475/dave-ramsey-shares-he-went-bankrupt-and-lost-everything-years-ago-while-empathizing-with-caller-">personal connection to their situation</a>, saying, "This is exactly what I did in my 20s.

Ramsey's advice wasn't just about cutting expenses but about confronting the mindset that had led to their financial missteps. "The problem is what's going on inside you guys," Ramsey said. "You're on a suicide mission right now."
The tough conversation ended on a hopeful note, though. Ramsey assured Channing that while the journey would be difficult, it was possible. "You can do it, though," he said. "I know. I'll help you."
Channing and her husband are now facing a major lifestyle change to climb out of their nearly $1 million debt, with Dave Ramsey's guidance <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/can-you-guess-how-many-americans-successfully-retire-with-1-million-saved">pointing them toward a more financially stable future</a>. Sometimes debt happens, but at least they're taking steps to address the issue and make changes before they're left resorting to more extreme options such as bankruptcy.

Dave Ramsey Tells 29-Year-Old $1M In Debt And Spending Like She's In Congress: 'I'm Getting Ready To Destroy Your Life As You Know It'

Elon Musk, the billionaire who runs ventures such as Tesla, SpaceX and Neuralink, is a polarizing figure. The billionaire recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40968413/elon-musk-reacts-after-cathie-wood-labels-gavin-newsoms-threat-to-sue-tesla-ceo-over-memes-unconstit">earned the wrath of California Gov. Gavin Newsom </a>over artificial intelligence political deepfake videos shared on X social-media platform but has received commendation from a congressman from the state.
Amazing Company: Rep. Kevin Kiley (R-Calif.) applauded Musk&#8217;s SpaceX for its Polaris Dawn mission in a speech at the House and also voiced concerns regarding the regulatory clampdown on the company, a video clip of the speech shared by an X platform user <a href="https://x.com/DimaZeniuk/status/1837599107327619318">showed.</a>
Polaris Dawn, a private crewed spaceflight&nbsp;operated by&nbsp;SpaceX&nbsp;on behalf of&nbsp;Shift4&nbsp;CEO&nbsp;Jared Isaacman, was launched on Sept. 10. Isaacman and his crew of three, namely Scott Poteet,&nbsp;Sarah Gillis&nbsp;and&nbsp;Anna Menon, flew in an&nbsp;elliptic orbit&nbsp;that took them 1,400 kilometers away from Earth, the farthest anyone has been since NASA&#8217;s&nbsp;Apollo program. The crew also performed the first commercial spacewalk. 
Talking about SpaceX, Kiley said it was started in California and that he had the opportunity to tour its facility a few years back. It truly is an amazing company and is vital to the U.S.&#8217; leadership when it pertains to space and is also vital to the national security, he said. He also noted that NASA is now relying on SpaceX to bring home <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/08/40541938/nasa-chooses-spacex-over-boeing-for-stranded-astronauts-return-starliners-future-in-doubt">two of its astronauts who are stranded at the International Space Station.</a>
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-invest-in-spacex">How To Invest In SpaceX</a>
Government&#8217;s Vindictiveness: Despite SpaceX being a tremendous asset, the company is being targeted in multiple ways and for frivolous reasons, Kiley said. He noted that the Federal Aviation Administration recently fined $633,000 for trivial non-safety related reasons.
The federal agency has delayed flight five of Starship for two months, also for non-safety related reasons, he said, adding that roadblocks are being thrown in its way.
&#8220;We continue to be stuck in the reality where it takes longer to do the government paperwork to license a rocket launch than it does to design and build the actual hardware,&#8221; Kiley said. &#8220;There simply should not be delays related to paperwork or bureaucracy; The FAA and related agencies need to prioritize enabling launches and not standing in their way.&#8221;
Responding to the Congressman&#8217;s speech, Musk said it is &#8220;much appreciated.&#8221;
<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">Much appreciated
&mdash; Elon Musk (@elonmusk) <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1837704322622099748?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 22, 2024</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
 Why It&#8217;s Important: Musk has endorsed former President Donald Trump in the 2024 election, likely warded off by the Biden administration&#8217;s failure to acknowledge Tesla as the leader in green energy vehicle manufacturing, the Democratic party&#8217;s failure to control infiltration of undocumented immigrants and the party&#8217;s leftist agenda.
Recently, Newsom criticized Musk for sharing a deepfake video on Vice President Kamala Harris, who is the Democratic Party&#8217;s nominee, on X. The governor has now signed a law, banning the use of AI-generated deepfakes in political campaigns.

Elon Musk Responds As California Congressman Slams Bureaucratic Roadblocks For SpaceX Program: 'Agencies Need To Prioritize Enabling Launches And Not Standing In Their Way'

Billionaire investor Warren Buffett, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/01/36763638/warren-buffett-accumulated-99-of-his-net-worth-after-turning-50-and-didnt-become-a-billionaire-until">who has tasted huge success in the investment world</a>, has a philosophical take on what defines success. His take on success and his success mantra are worth emulating to keep anyone on an even keel.
Buffet&#8217;s Take On True Success: If you get to be 65 years, or 70 years and later, and the people that you want to love you actually love you, you are a success, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tr6MMsoWAog">said</a> Buffett in an interview with Yahoo Finance in 2019.
He also made the point that he has seen very, very wealthy people, so wealthy that they give testimonial interviews to, and name schools after, and everything, but they&#8217;re miserable. Nobody loves them, he added.
Buffett has often stressed that money doesn&#8217;t buy happiness and he lives out this philosophy by living a relatively modest lifestyle. In the Forbes billionaires list, he is in the sixth place, boasting of $143.7 billion in wealth. He is also known for his charity, having pledged 99% of his wealth to philanthropy&nbsp;during his lifetime or at death.&nbsp;

How To Succeed In Life: When the investment guru was asked to give advice as to how to succeed in life, he said by far the best investment one can make is in oneself. Buffett said he used to advise students that if they learned to communicate better, both orally and written, they can increase their value at least by 50%.
One has to be able to get their ideas across, he said, adding that acquiring it is easy. He noted that he took a Dale Carnegie course for it.
&#8220;If you invest in yourself nobody can take it away from you I mean you and the second thing,&#8221; Buffett said.
Secondly he said one should take care of their mind and body. &#8220;You get exactly one mind and one body in this world. And you can&#8217;t start taking care of it when you&#8217;re 50,&#8221; he said.&nbsp;
A life advice he gave out was to associate with people that are better than you. &#8220;You will go in the direction of the people that you associate with and you want to have the right heroes,&#8221; he said, adding that if you want to emulate somebody better, you better pick very carefully whom you want to emulate.
Buffett said of the people who you admire, who you want to copy and the most important for most people is their spouse. &#8220;You&#8217;ll want to pick a spouse that&#8217;s a little better than you,&#8221; he said.

In a Saturday X exchange with venture capitalist Vinod Khosla, Elon Musk explained <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40145805/elon-musk-says-his-endorsement-of-trump-doesnt-mean-he-agrees-with-everything-ex-president-is-saying">his reason for endorsing Donald Trump in the 2024 race</a>.
Pro- Biden In 2020: Unlike Trump and his team, Musk doesn&#8217;t think the 2020 election wasn&#8217;t stolen. Musk had a different explanation for the Democratic Party&#8217;s win. &#8220;All the independent voters I know, myself included, leaned towards [Joe] Biden, thinking he would be a milquetoast moderate. Boring, but moderate,&#8221; he said.
Incidentally, Khosla also identified himself as an independent. &#8220;Remember I am an independent, not a democrat or a republican. There are democrats, independents, republicans and then there are a&#x2A;&#x2A;hole MAGA extremists,&#8221; he had said.

What&#8217;s Has Changed: Explaining why he changed side this time around, Musk said Biden turned out to be a &#8220;radical leftist puppet of the machine who loves overreaching bureaucracy, just like Kamala [Harris].&#8221;
That&#8217;s why Musk and almost all independent voters he knew were supporting Trump this time, he said.
Taking a potshot at Khosla, Musk said, &#8220;Now, you stop being a damn hypocrite and have some empathy for small towns throughout America getting swamped by 10,000+ poorly vetted migrants. It's not right.&#8221;

Elon Musk Says Biden Belied His 2020 Expectations And Turned Out To Be A 'Radical Leftist Puppet': Why Billionaire Is Supporting Trump This Time Around

Pop music legend Janet Jackson has been subjected to intense backlash after she questioned the racial <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40869733/trump-stumbles-again-over-health-care-issues-involving-abortion-and-obamacare">background of Vice President Kamala Harris</a>.
What Happened: The uproar originated from <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/music/2024/sep/21/janet-jackson-interview-on-bad-relationships-new-music-and-kamala-harris">an</a> interview Jackson gave to The Guardian last Saturday.
In the interview, Jackson, aged 58, expressed doubts about Harris&#8217; racial identity, saying, &#8220;She&#8217;s not Black. That&#8217;s what I heard. That she&#8217;s Indian&#8230; Her father&#8217;s white. That&#8217;s what I was told.&#8221;
These comments have incited a wave of outrage among fans and followers, who took to various social media platforms to voice their disappointment. One user criticized Jackson, stating, &#8220;This is why she&#8217;s irrelevant and leeching off of her brothers&#8217; success.&#8221;
Some critics have drawn comparisons between Jackson&#8217;s statements and those made by former President Donald Trump, who had also questioned Harris&#8217; racial identity during a conference of black journalists in July.
Jackson later issued a public apology for her comments about Harris.
According to a report <a href="https://deadline.com/2024/09/janet-jackson-apology-kamala-harris-comments-based-misinformation-1236096552/">by</a> Deadline, Mo Elmasri, Jackson&#8217;s manager, admitted that the singer had made misinformed comments about Harris&#8217; family and ethnicity during the interview.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40869086/trump-vs-harris-new-poll-reveals-post-debate-swing-towards-this-candidate-in-key-state">Trump Vs Harris: New Poll Reveals Post-Debate Swing Towards This Candidate In Key State</a>
Jackson had made assumptions about Harris&#8217; racial background, seemingly without full understanding of the facts.
In a statement <a href="https://www.buzzfeed.com/chelseastewart/janet-jackson-kamala-harris-comments-apology">to</a> Buzzfeed, Elmasri said, &#8220;Janet deeply respects Vice President Kamala Harris and her accomplishments as a Black and Indian woman. Janet apologizes for any confusion caused and acknowledges the importance of accurate representation in public discourse.&#8221;
Harris&#8217; father is a Jamaican-American economics professor, and her late mother, Shyamala Gopalan, was a celebrated breast cancer researcher from southern India.
Why It Matters: This incident underscores the importance of accurate representation and information in public discourse, especially when discussing individuals in positions of power and influence. 
Misinformed comments can perpetuate harmful stereotypes and misinformation, leading to confusion and potential harm. As a public figure, Jackson&#8217;s comments have a wide reach, making it crucial for her to verify information before sharing it publicly. This apology serves as a reminder of the responsibility that comes with public platforms.
Furthermore, this incident highlights the ongoing challenges faced by individuals of diverse backgrounds in the public eye. Harris, as a Black and Indian woman, has faced scrutiny and misinformation about her background throughout her career. 
This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of respecting and acknowledging diverse backgrounds and experiences.

Janet Jackson Faces Backlash Over Kamala Harris Racial Identity Comments, Issues Apology For Misrepresenting Harris

Andreea Matei made several video reviews for Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/amzn#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) products. It wasn&#8217;t long before the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/07/33207129/he-quit-a-6-figure-finance-job-to-make-youtube-videos-now-hes-making-more-money-than-ever-before">money started pouring in</a>.
What To Know: Matei caught the bug for reviewing Amazon products as a side hustle when she first received $1.28 in commission based on one of her short videos. Since then, she has made close to $22,000 in eight months from approximately 1,000 videos.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AMZN">Amazon</a> has an influencer program that pays members a commission based on sales that take place after a consumer watches a video review. 
In November, Matei decided to give it a try and it wasn&#8217;t long before she was hooked.
&#8220;I made $40 a day, then $50 the next day, then $100. I had to keep going. It was so much fun,&#8221; Matei said.
Most of her videos are about a minute long and they take up to 20 minutes to film and edit. According to documents reviewed by <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2023/06/29/andreea-matei-passive-side-hustle-amazon-video-reviews.html">CNBC</a>, she&#8217;s averaging about $2,700 a month in passive income from her review videos and she only spends about three hours a week filming and editing content.
&#8220;Once you create videos, it's totally passive.&nbsp;I have not had any time to make videos this week, and the money still keeps coming in,&#8221;&nbsp;Matei said.&nbsp;&nbsp;
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/04/32100082/heres-how-this-31-year-old-makes-105-000-a-month-by-only-working-2-hours-a-day">Here&#8217;s How This 31-Year-Old Makes $105,000 A Month By Only Working 2 Hours A Day</a>
She started off reviewing products that she could see herself using around the house, but after she started <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/07/33289234/from-zero-to-5-5-million-in-3-years-how-this-first-time-investor-made-it-big-buying-real-estate">generating significant income</a>, Amazon sellers started reaching out to her. Now sellers send her free products and pay her to review them and post the videos on social media.
The payouts for different products vary greatly and Amazon is always changing how its algorithms work, but it&#8217;s well worth her time, she said, adding it keeps her from getting burned out at her day job where she teaches clients how to grow their small businesses.
&#8220;Amazon is fickle, so I don't want to put all my eggs in one basket. But my goal is to make it a six-figure side hustle on top of my regular business,&#8221; Matei said.

Amazon Product Review Side Hustle Brings In $2,700 A Month In Passive Income: 'I Have Not Had Any Time To Make Videos ... The Money Still Keeps Coming In'

Analysts <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/09/40872864/apple-staring-at-lower-than-expected-demand-for-iphone-16-pro-and-pro-max-in-the-fi">flashed a red flag regarding lukewarm preorders</a> for Apple, Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) newest iPhone iteration, but one analyst doubled down on his bullish take on iPhone 16 as it went on sale this weekend.
The Apple Analyst: Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives maintained an Outperform rating and $300 price target for Apple shares.
The Apple Thesis: Apple is off to a strong demand start, Ives said, citing Asian supply checks. Although Apple Intelligence will be released in phases over the coming months, this iPhone 16 upgrade cycle will be over 90 million units on initial launch and be up roughly 8 million to 10 million units from iPhone 15, he said. The demand has been tracking well so far, with an estimated 300 million iPhones of the 1.5 billion iPhones not upgrading in four years, he added. 
Apple is focused on driving a robust December holiday season for iPhone 16 with many features rolled out over the coming months, Ives said. He estimates that the company can sell more than 240 million iPhone units in fiscal year 2025.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-tech-stocks">Best Tech Stocks Right Now</a>
The analyst sees China as the front and center, as he expects more partnerships on for large-language models around Baidu, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIDU#NASDAQ">BIDU</a>) over the coming months. &#8220;That will fill in a missing piece of the AI puzzle in the key China market as OpenAI in its marquee partnership will launch the most sophisticated personal assistant for consumers with ChatGPT fueled by Apple&#8217;s new A18 chip,&#8221; he said.
The analyst conceded Huawei trifold smartphone could be another disruptive force in the Chinese smartphone market. But Apple with its iPhone 16 upgrades could sell about 50 million units in this region is fiscal year 2025, he said.
The next step to drive installed base in the Apple Intelligence, Ives said. &#8220;We believe over 20% of world&#8217;s consumer population will ultimately interact with AI through an Apple device over the coming years,&#8221; he said.
&#8220;This is the beginning of an AI driven iPhone super-cycle that should enable Apple to break its historical mark for iPhone units in a year and translate into a $4 trillion market cap for Cupertino in 2025,&#8221; the analyst said. 
Apple Stock: Apple ended Friday&#8217;s session down 0.29% at $228.20, according to <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro data</a>. The stock has, nevertheless, added about 19% so far this year.

Kamala Harris has a surprisingly narrow edge over Donald Trump in Virginia, which has been a stronghold for the Democrats in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40866884/trump-vs-harris-tense-standoff-in-nail-biter-polls">past several presidential elections</a>.
What Happened: A <a href="https://www.umw.edu/news/2024/09/20/new-survey-from-umw-center-for-leadership-and-media-studies-takes-closer-look-at-presidential-election-in-virginia/">poll</a> carried out by the University of Mary Washington from September 3-9 shows Harris leading Trump by a slim margin of 1 point among 756 likely voters in Virginia, with Harris polling at 47% and Trump at 46% with minor party candidates included. When pitted directly against each other, Harris&#8217; lead extends to 2 points. Her lead is within the poll&#8217;s margin of error of +/- 4.1 percent.
Stephen J. Farnsworth, a political science professor at the University of Mary Washington, suggested that the tight race implies that Virginia could be considered a potential &#8216;swing state&#8217; in the forthcoming election.
&#8220;This new survey suggests Virginia should be getting a much closer look from both presidential campaigns. Virginia may deserve to be treated as a &#8216;swing state&#8217; once again this year,&#8221; Farnsworth <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/kamala-harris-donald-trump-polling-virginia-polling-1957297">told </a>the outlet Newsweek.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40869086/trump-vs-harris-new-poll-reveals-post-debate-swing-towards-this-candidate-in-key-state">Trump Vs Harris: New Poll Reveals Post-Debate Swing Towards This Candidate In Key State</a>
Despite Harris&#8217; narrow lead in this poll, other state polls suggest that Harris could potentially outperform Trump by a solid 7 to 10-point margin, continuing the trend of Democratic victories in the state since 2004.
Prior to Harris becoming the candidate, some polls had shown Trump leading Biden by up to 5 points, while others showed Biden with a marginal lead of just 1 or 2 points.
Why It Matters: The close race in Virginia, a traditionally Democratic state, indicates a potential shift in the political landscape. 
The fact that Harris, a Democrat, is only slightly ahead of Trump, a Republican, suggests that the state&#8217;s voters may be becoming more divided in their political preferences. 
This could potentially turn Virginia into a &#8216;swing state&#8217;, where either party has a reasonable chance of winning, in future elections. This shift could have significant implications for the strategies of both parties in upcoming elections.

Close Call In Virginia: Recent Poll Shows Harris Barely Leading Trump In Democratic-Leaning State

Chechen warlord Ramzan Kadyrov has leveled accusations against Tesla owner Elon Musk, claiming that his Cybertruck was remotely <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40504595/military-expert-calls-russian-president-allys-tesla-cybertruck-super-cool-but-useless-combat-vehicle">disabled by Musk</a>.
What Happened: Kadyrov, who has been ruling Chechnya since 2007, alleged that his modified Cybertruck was &#8220;remotely disabled&#8221; by Musk. 
The Chechen leader expressed his indignation in a Telegram post, criticizing Musk&#8217;s actions as unmanly. Earlier in August, Kadyrov had shared a video flaunting the Cybertruck, fitted with what appeared to be a machine gun. 
He hinted that the vehicle, which he asserted was a gift from Musk, would be deployed in the war against Ukraine.
&#8220;Elon Musk behaved badly. He gives expensive gifts from the heart, and then turns them off remotely,&#8221; Kadyrov wrote Thursday in a <a href="https://t.me/RKadyrov_95/5103">post</a> on Telegram.
Then he added in the post saying, &#8220;That&#8217;s not manly. How could you do that, Elon?&#8221; He also mentioned that he had to tow the vehicle after Tesla shut it down. 
Also Read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/37195508/putin-pal-elon-musk-fires-back-at-critics-accusing-him-of-supporting-russia" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Putin Pal? Elon Musk Fires Back At Critics Accusing Him Of Supporting Russia</a>
Earlier in August, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40432032/putin-ally-unveils-tesla-cybertruck-with-machine-gun-invites-musk-to-russia">he announced that the vehicle was presented to him by Musk</a>. &#8220;We received a Tesla Cybertruck from the esteemed Elon Musk. I was pleased to test this new technology and personally witnessed why it's rightfully called the ‘Cyberbeast,&#8221; he said in a statement. 
However, Musk categorically denied having gifted the Cybertruck to Kadyrov. The process through which the warlord procured the vehicle remains a mystery, as direct export of a Cybertruck from the US to Chechnya is barred due to US sanctions.
Despite Kadyrov&#8217;s assertions of the Cybertruck&#8217;s efficacy in combat, experts have voiced skepticism. Mark Cancian, a senior advisor with the International Security Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, opined that the vehicle would be &#8220;totally useless&#8221; on the battlefield owing to its weight and charging needs.
Why It Matters: The allegations made by Kadyrov against Musk are significant as they involve a high-profile figure and a globally recognized brand. 
The incident also raises questions about the security and remote control capabilities of Tesla&#8217;s vehicles. 
Furthermore, it brings to light the potential misuse of such vehicles in conflict zones, which could have serious implications for international security and Tesla&#8217;s reputation.

Putin Ally Who Unveiled Tesla Cybertruck With Machine Gun Last Month Now Says Elon Musk 'Remotely Disabled' The Militarized EV

Mark Cuban, the billionaire entrepreneur and "Shark Tank" star, has no interest in running for office. When asked if he would ever consider running for president, Cuban responded bluntly: "No, hell no." For him, the political arena isn't the best place to make a difference, especially when changing the health care system.

</ul>
"You can't be president and change health care," Cuban told Wired. "You've got to get Congress behind you and this and that." He thinks partisanship and bureaucracy limit the ability of politicians to effect meaningful change. Rather, he believes the private sector offers a more potent means of effecting change.
Cuban is proving this with his online pharmacy, launched in January 2022, which aims to tackle high drug prices by selling medications with minimal markups. Cuban's approach is simple: the base price of the drug, plus a 15 percent markup, a $5 pharmacy fee, and $5 for shipping.

Cuban's no-nonsense style and business acumen have made him a favorite on "Shark Tank," but his ambitions go beyond TV fame. "As an entrepreneur, you can change anything," he said.&nbsp;
He points to tech innovators like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/09/40837620/nvidia-ceo-jensen-huang-eases-investor-concerns-on-ai-demand-blackwell-timeline-and">Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia</a>, as examples of how entrepreneurs can define the future by their actions. "He can pretty much define what's going to happen by how he prices things," said Cuban.

"If I could wave the magic wand, I'd get rid of the two parties," he said in an interview.

Despite his outspoken views and his innate ability to shake things up, Cuban has no plans to jump into the political fray. Instead, he's focused on making changes from the outside. "Who would put themselves through that?" he said about running for president.&nbsp;
Cuban is convinced he can do more good as an entrepreneur than a politician, and he's set on using his influence and resources to fix what he can – whether it's the health care system, the cost of prescription drugs, or how business is done.
Nevertheless, Cuban chose his side, joining hundreds of venture capitalists in pledging support for<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/08/40113420/mark-cuban-and-other-venture-capitalists-pledge-support-for-kamala-harris-whos-on-the-list"> Vice President Kamala Harris</a> in the 2024 presidential election.

'No, Hell No,' Says Mark Cuban If He'll Run For Office –'You Can't Be President And Change Healthcare.' Entrepreneurs Can Change Anything

Donald Trump has made a bold assertion that women will stop contemplating abortion <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/37192851/donald-trump-mulls-16-week-abortion-ban-in-private-conversations-with-allies">if he triumphs in the upcoming election</a>.
What Happened: This statement follows Kamala Harris&#8216; accusation of Trump being the instigator of a reproductive healthcare crisis.
Trump voiced this claim in an extensive social media <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/113173471737127661">post</a> on Truth Social and reiterated it at a rally in North Carolina. He argued that women&#8217;s health, safety, and optimism have declined compared to his tenure.
He further stated that the matter of abortion has been delegated to the states, implying that women will no longer need to contemplate it.
&#8220;Women are poorer than they were four years ago, are less healthy than they were four years ago, are less safe on the streets than they were four years ago, are more depressed and unhappy than they were four years ago, and are less optimistic and confident in the future than they were four years ago! I will fix all of that, and fast, and at long last this national nightmare will be over,&#8221; Trump said in the post.

Harris, a staunch supporter of abortion rights, reproached Trump for his influence in appointing three Supreme Court justices who reversed Roe v. Wade in 2022.
She held Trump accountable for the stringent abortion laws in several states, labeling it a healthcare crisis and attributing its inception to Trump.

A late August poll by The Wall Street Journal indicated that Harris leads Trump among female voters by 13 percentage points, with 33% of women identifying abortion as a pivotal issue.
Meanwhile, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) has reacted to Trump&#8217;s statement on abortion and has said that Trump is "just deranged."
"I think, you know, this guy just doesn't understand what the average woman is confronting in her life in this country, and how could he? He's not lived a normal life," Whitmer said. 
"Unlike Kamala Harris, who has worked hourly jobs, who knows how important it is that women have health care and access to the medical care that they need,&#8221; she added. 
Why It Matters: The contentious issue of abortion rights has been a significant factor in American politics, with the reversal of Roe v. Wade in 2022 marking a turning point.
Trump&#8217;s claim that his potential victory would eliminate the need for women to consider abortion is a bold assertion that could potentially influence the election&#8217;s outcome. 
This comes at a time when Harris, a vocal advocate for abortion rights, is leading among women voters, according to a recent poll.

Trump Says Women Would 'No Longer Be Thinking About Abortion' If He Wins, Whitmer Calls Trump 'Just Deranged'

In a recent interview with Tucker Carlson, Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance shared his thoughts on the potential reactions from the left if he and Donald Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40760697/jd-vance-supports-tucker-carlson-amid-holocaust-revisionist-controversy">win the 2024 presidential election</a>.
What Happened: In a conversation released last week, Carlson asked Vance about the possibility of a military coup following a Trump victory. Vance expressed confidence in their chances of winning the election and discussed the potential strategies of the left.
Vance suggested that the left might resort to ballot harvesting and Big Tech to suppress negative stories about their candidate, similar to what he believes occurred in the 2020 election.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
He also expressed concern about the left&#8217;s influence over the U.S. military.
According to Vance, the left might attempt to obstruct Trump&#8217;s presidency by blocking the deportation of illegal immigrants and hiking interest rates. However, he dismissed the idea of a military coup as a likely response.
&#8220;They've already sort of marshaled the ballot harvesting operation, which, of course, is the story of 2020. It's not like, you know, it's not ballot machines were hacked into. The story of 2020 is that they really, you know, turned on this ballot harvesting machine and they used, of course, Big Tech to silence stories that were negative about&nbsp;Joe Biden. They're certainly going to do that again," Vance continued.

"I just don't see any evidence that these people are like controlling the puppet strings and they're going to do everything that they can. They are going to do everything that they can, but it's not that much. So right now, yeah, I think Donald Trump's going to be the next president," he added. 
Why It Matters: The speculations shared by Vance highlight the deep political divisions in the U.S. and the potential for contentious reactions to the 2024 election results. 
His comments also underscore the ongoing debates about the role of Big Tech in politics and the influence of the left on the U.S. military. These issues are likely to remain prominent in the lead-up to the 2024 presidential election.

A Military Coup If Trump Wins? Tucker Carlson Voices Concerns To JD Vance

Kamala Harris is experiencing a surge in popularity with just over six weeks to go before the presidential election. Recent polls indicate a positive shift in her favorability for the first time <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40869086/trump-vs-harris-new-poll-reveals-post-debate-swing-towards-this-candidate-in-key-state">since President Joe Biden took office</a>.
What Happened: Harris&#8217; favorability has seen a significant uptick. Kristen Soltis Anderson, a founding partner at Echelon Insights, highlighted during an AARP press call that Harris has successfully crafted a more positive narrative about herself.
The polling average from FiveThirtyEight suggests that Americans now perceive Harris in a more favorable light than before. This is a notable shift, considering her previously low polling figures. 
&#8220;She&#8217;s getting a chance to write her own story there and at least has been able to somewhat drive a more positive message about her,&#8221; Business Insider <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/kamala-harris-favorability-polls-reverse-trump-election-2024-9">quoted</a> Anderson saying on a press call hosted by AARP.
The rise in Harris&#8217; standing is perceived as a cautionary sign for Donald Trump&#8216;s campaign, which has failed to portray Harris as untrustworthy.
Debbie Walsh, the director of the Center for American Women and Politics, pointed out that Harris&#8217; increased visibility and her ability to articulate her strengths and objectives have played a role in her growing popularity. 
&#8220;She has been allowed to shine a bit, which I think is very difficult to do when you&#8217;re the No. 2. By definition, a large part of your job is to stand a few feet to the left and a few feet behind the president and be supportive,&#8221; Walsh told the outlet. 
Tim Malloy, a polling analyst for the Quinnipiac University Poll, mentioned that favorability covers a broad spectrum of voter emotions, which have traditionally been difficult for female candidates to manage.

Despite the positive shift, the Harris campaign continues to see itself as an underdog. Nate Silver&#8217;s model depicts the race as essentially a toss-up, although it did give Harris a slight advantage in the electoral college race last Friday.
Why It Matters: The surge in Harris&#8217; favorability is a significant development in the 2024 Presidential race. It indicates a shift in public sentiment and could potentially influence the strategies of other candidates. 
The fact that Harris, a female candidate, has been able to navigate the complex landscape of voter emotions and improve her standing is noteworthy. 
This could set a precedent for future female candidates and change the dynamics of political races. The outcome of this race could have far-reaching implications for the political landscape of the U.S.

Voters Warm To Kamala Harris As Election Nears

Warren Buffett is known for his sharp investing mind, but his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/40881429/warren-buffetts-daughter-asked-him-for-a-41-000-loan-to-remodel-her-kitchen-but-the-billionaire-">habits are just as interesting</a> – especially his well-documented love for Coca-Cola. As an investor in the company, Buffett doesn't just back the stock; he's a dedicated consumer too. He's famous for drinking about five soda cans daily, mostly Cherry Coke.

</ul>
At 94, Buffett still sticks to his sugary routine. In 2015, he joked to Fortune, "I'm one-quarter Coca-Cola," admitting that the drink accounts for 25% of his daily calorie intake.&nbsp;
His passion for the beverage isn't just a habit; it's also tied to his massive investment in the brand. His company, Berkshire Hathaway, holds 400 million Coca-Cola shares, valued at over $28 billion, making up over 10% of the company's portfolio.

Despite his heavy soda consumption, Buffett hasn't shown much concern about how it affects his health. After a prostate cancer diagnosis in 2012, he didn't shy away from defending his love for Coca-Cola, saying, "I don't think the prostate cancer was caused by Coca-Cola." He even added that he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/03/37563241/warren-buffett-says-hed-trade-a-significant-percentage-of-his-net-worth-for-some-extra-years-of-">hadn't missed a day of work</a> since undergoing treatment.&nbsp;
Fortunately, as Buffett explained in the annual shareholder letter that year: "The good news is that I&#8217;ve been told by my doctors that my condition is not remotely life-threatening or even debilitating in any meaningful way." Just a few months later, in September of 2012, Buffett announced he completed 44 days of radiation.&nbsp;

Buffett's attachment to Coca-Cola wasn't always a given. For much of his life, he was a Pepsi fan – so much so that his son, Howard, used to call him <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/02/37240748/warren-buffett-drinks-5-cans-of-coke-per-day-at-93-years-old-but-he-was-a-dedicated-pepsi-drinker-fo">"Pepsi Warren."</a> It wasn't until Don Keough, a neighbor and Coca-Cola executive, entered his life that Buffett switched teams. The connection grew into a personal and professional relationship, leading to Buffett's deep involvement with Coca-Cola.
The billionaire has always stood by his unconventional diet, often saying it brings him happiness. "I always tell people: I found everything I like to eat by the time I was six," he told CNBC. His favorites? Hot fudge sundaes and, of course, Coke.&nbsp;

But Buffett isn't the only billionaire who loves junk food. Bill Gates has admitted to being <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/05/38709585/bill-gates-booked-an-entire-michelin-star-restaurant-for-two-days-he-only-ordered-a-diet-coke-an">hooked on Diet Coke</a>, sipping it throughout the day like it's water. While Gates goes for the diet version, Buffett doesn't shy away from the sugary stuff, sticking with his classic Coke. And they don't just love soda – the billionaire buddies each have exclusive <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/05/39083570/billionaire-bill-gates-has-a-mcdonalds-gold-card-that-gives-him-free-food-for-life-worldwide">McDonald's "Gold Cards"</a> that give them free food for life.
Buffett is so committed to his eating habits that he once joked he'd happily trade a year of his life just to eat whatever he wants. It's all part of his philosophy of enjoying life. He's well aware that his diet, which amounts to about 2,600 to 2,700 calories a day, isn't exactly a nutritionist's dream, but he's not interested in changing it anytime soon. For Buffett, happiness—even with extra sugar—is what matters.
Buffett's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/can-you-guess-how-many-americans-successfully-retire-with-1-million-saved">outlook is simple</a>: enjoy what you love and if that happens to be Cherry Coke, go for it – even if health experts say otherwise. For him, it's worked out pretty well so far.

Warren Buffett Owns $28B In Coca-Cola Stock And Drinks 5 Cans A Day – 'I Don't Think The Prostate Cancer Was Caused By The Coca-Cola'

In the race for campaign funds for the upcoming presidential election, Kamala Harris has surged ahead, backed by significant contributions from Wall Street, Silicon Valley, and Hollywood. But Donald Trump and the Republicans have made up some of the gap due to a substantial boost from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40969781/nate-silvers-forecast-kamala-harris-retakes-lead-over-donald-trump">Tesla Inc. and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk</a>.
What Happened: As per the latest Federal Election Commission filings, Harris&#8217; fundraising efforts in August have given the Democratic ticket a $109 million cash advantage over Trump.
Harris raised $361 million in August, while Trump spent $32 million more than the $130 million he raised, reports Bloomberg.
Trump&#8217;s campaign received backing from new sources, including crypto industry donors and long-time Republican supporters like hedge fund manager Paul Singer. However, the most substantial single gift came from Musk, who donated the maximum amount of $289,100 to the National Republican Congressional Committee.
Trump&#8217;s costly ad campaigns have depleted some of his cash reserves.

In contrast, Harris and her main super PAC, Future Forward PAC, have booked $421 million in paid media from September through Election Day, nearly double the $216 million for Trump and his allied super PAC MAGA Inc.
Notably, Musk also created a super PAC this year to support Trump and House Republicans, which has been spending millions in recent weeks. The donors to this super PAC will not be disclosed until next month.
Why It Matters: The fundraising race is a crucial indicator of the support each candidate has and can significantly impact their campaign strategies. 
Harris&#8217; lead in fundraising, backed by influential sectors like Wall Street and Silicon Valley, showcases her broad appeal and strong financial backing. On the other hand, Musk&#8217;s support for Trump underscores the tech mogul&#8217;s alignment with the GOP, potentially influencing other tech industry leaders.
However, the effectiveness of these funds will depend on how they are utilized. Trump&#8217;s high expenditure on ad campaigns, despite new support, has led to a depletion of his cash reserves. 
In contrast, Harris&#8217; campaign seems to be more financially robust, with a significant amount booked for paid media. The disclosure of donors to Musk&#8217;s super PAC next month will also be a significant development to watch.

Harris Vs Trump: Kamala Harris Leads In Fundraising As Wall Street, Silicon Valley Boost Her

After <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/07/39801662/the-real-reason-why-donald-trump-has-pivoted-towards-crypto">calling Bitcoin a "scam,"</a> Donald Trump has entered the cryptocurrency market, but his new remarks raise questions about whether he truly understands the field he&#8217;s entering. The former president and his three sons have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40905315/donald-trumps-new-crypto-project-world-liberty-financial-everything-you-need-to-know">launched World Liberty Financial (WLFI)</a>, a new cryptocurrency aimed at making the United States the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40743776/trump-reiterates-plans-to-make-us-world-capital-of-crypto-instead-of-attacking-industries-">&#8220;crypto capital of the world.&#8221;</a> 
But his ambiguous and frequently perplexing remarks regarding the initiative have made people wonder if he understands what he&#8217;s advocating.

"Crypto is one of those things we have to do," Trump stated, before veering off into a ramble that included references to artificial intelligence and high-tech jargon. "Whether we like it or not, I have to do it … It's crypto, it's AI, it's some of the other things," he said, leaving many listeners scratching their heads.

This confusing rhetoric marks a stark departure from Trump's previous stance on digital assets. Just a few years ago, he condemned Bitcoin as a threat to the U.S. dollar and warned of its use in illegal activities. But according to his most recent financial form, since declaring his candidacy for president again, Trump has allegedly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40860002/heres-how-much-donald-trumps-crypto-portfolio-is-down-from-the-top-spoiler-its-millions-an">invested between $1 and $5 million in Ethereum</a> in addition to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/08/39756520/why-trump-taking-crypto-is-risky">accepting millions of dollars in cryptocurrency donations</a>.
WLFI is being promoted as a stablecoin pegged to the U.S. dollar, supposedly offering a solution to the volatility that plagues other cryptocurrencies. The project has been spearheaded by Trump's sons, Eric and Donald Trump Jr., who have positioned it as a way for ordinary Americans to reclaim financial power from traditional banks.&nbsp;

On the other hand, critics argue that there are potentially many conflicts of interest in this venture, especially if Trump is reelected and uses his executive power to deregulate the cryptocurrency market, which some people expect him to do and which would, at the same time, benefit his family&#8217;s company.
