Influential tech mogul Elon Musk publicly praised a speech by El Salvador President Nayib Bukele, in which he defended his administration against charges of stifling political opposition and restricting freedom of speech.
What Happened: On Tuesday, the Tesla and Space X CEO took to X to commend a speech by Bukele delivered at the UN General Assembly. The address, made in Spanish, reiterated El Salvador&#8217;s commitment to upholding civil liberties.
&#8220;In El Salvador, we do not imprison our opposition. We do not censor opinions. We do not confiscate property from those who think differently,&#8221; the president said. &#8220;In El Salvador, your freedom of expression, as well as your private property, will always be protected.&#8221;

Why It Matters: This isn&#8217;t the first time Musk has shown support for Bukele. Last month, Musk <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/08/40569179/elon-musk-cheers-pro-bitcoin-el-salvador-president-nayib-bukeles-free-speech-guarantee-ami">praised Bukele&#8217;s commitment to freedom of speech</a> amid the controversial arrest of Telegram CEO Pavel Durov in France. 
Just days ago, Bukele visited Tesla&#8217;s gigafactory in Texas, where <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40968137/pro-bitcoin-el-salvador-president-nayib-bukele-meets-elon-musk-at-teslas-giga-texas-hails-billionair">he spent several hours in conversation with Musk</a>. The Salvadoran President hailed Musk as &#8220;one of the great minds of our time.&#8221; The respect was mutual, as Musk called Bukele an &#8220;amazing leader.&#8221;
El Salvador, under President Bukele, has made headlines because <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/08/40330518/nayib-bukeles-bitcoin-city-project-in-el-salvador-attracts-1-6b-investment-from-turkey-bas">of its pioneering embrace</a> of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), which was adopted as a legal tender in the country in 2021.
But while the nation&#8217;s Bitcoin policy has been noteworthy, Bukele&#8217;s claims about guaranteeing free speech remained debatable. El Salvador was ranked&nbsp;<a href="https://rsf.org/en/country/el-salvador" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">133rd&nbsp;</a>out of 180 countries in the World Press Freedom Index 2024, down 18 places from the previous year's rankings.
His administration has been accused of detaining thousands of people as part of his anti-gang campaign. Additionally, his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/02/36926597/bitcoin-president-nayib-bukele-declares-victory-in-el-salvadors-elections">reelection earlier this year was also marred by controversy</a>, as the constitutional court, largely made up of his supporters, allowed him to run again on the condition that he step down before his second term begins.

What Happened: Berkshire now owns close to 10% of the second-largest U.S. bank after the latest disposals over three trading days through Tuesday. 
Buffett, 94, began trimming the massive investment in mid-July. Despite months of sales, Berkshire's remaining stake in Bank of America is valued at $32.1 billion, based on Tuesday's closing price, maintaining its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/technicals/24/09/40838437/warren-buffett-sells-more-bank-of-america-stock-should-you-follow-his-lead-or-invest-fur">position as the largest shareholder</a>.

Moynihan praised Buffett&#8217;s investment history with the bank but admitted, &#8220;I don't know what exactly he is doing because frankly we can't ask.&#8221; This statement was made during an investor conference in New York.
Meanwhile, Bank of America is actively <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40983831/bank-of-america-ramps-up-expansion-over-165-new-financial-centers-set-to-open-across-63-us-marke">expanding its retail banking presence</a>. The bank announced plans to open over 165 new financial centers across 63 U.S. markets by the end of 2026. This expansion includes nearly 40 centers set to open this year alone, with the first center in Louisville, Kentucky, opening recently.
Additionally, Ajit Jain, a top executive at Berkshire Hathaway, sold more than half of his shares in the Buffett-led company for approximately $139 million <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40848692/warren-buffetts-top-executive-ajit-jain-sells-over-half-his-berkshire-hathaway-stake-for-139m-am">amid speculation on stock valuation</a> and potential tax policies.

Warren Buffett Moves: Berkshire Hathaway Reduces Bank Of America Holdings By $863M

Zhu Hengpeng, a prominent economist at a top Chinese think tank, has reportedly been detained and stripped of his roles after allegedly criticizing President Xi Jinping&#8217;s economic policies.
What Happened: Zhu, who held the position of deputy director at the Institute of Economics at the state-run Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS), is said to have made these comments in a private WeChat group chat. His remarks included subtle criticism of Xi and China&#8217;s struggling economy, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/world/china/top-economist-in-china-vanishes-after-private-wechat-comments-50dac0b1">reported</a> The Wall Street Journal.
The inquiry into Zhu&#8217;s supposed offenses coincides with Beijing&#8217;s intensified efforts to curb negative commentary on China&#8217;s economic health, which has been suffering due to a real estate downturn and tepid sentiment among consumers and businesses.
Zhu, an expert in health economics, was a significant commentator on such matters. He had been with the think tank for over two decades, providing advice to the government on policies related to hospital reforms and access to healthcare.
His name has since been taken off the online list of personnel at a think tank associated with Beijing&#8217;s esteemed Tsinghua University. The current status of the investigation into Zhu is unknown, as is whether he has legal representation.
The investigation coincided with a campaign to indoctrinate CASS staff, aimed at ensuring adherence to Communist Party rules. Zhu&#8217;s last known public appearance was in late April at an elder-care-industry conference organized by the Caixin financial news magazine.

Why It Matters: This incident comes amidst a backdrop of mysterious disappearances of high-profile figures in China. For instance, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/07/33383339/xi-jinping-brings-back-wang-yi-as-foreign-minister-a-month-after-qin-gangs-mysterious-absence">Wang Yi</a>, who served as China's top diplomat from 2013 to 2018, returned to his role as China's Foreign Minister a month after the former foreign minister Qin Gang vanished from public view. The disappearance of Zhu, therefore, adds to the growing concern about the suppression of dissent in China.
China&#8217;s Defence Minister Li Shangfu also disappeared amidst corruption investigations, with Li last seen on Aug. 29, 2023,. Former Industry Minister Xiao Yaqing and ex-Rocket Force leaders Li Yuchao and Xu Zhongbo also vanished in 2022 and 2023, likely linked to probes into corruption or political misconduct, reported Reuters.

The Qingyun L540 laptop, a product of&nbsp;Huawei Technologies, is a testament to China&#8217;s progress towards technological self-sufficiency, featuring&nbsp;a self-designed processor and a&nbsp;Chinese-made operating system.
What Happened: The Qingyun L540 laptop is a prime example of China&#8217;s push for tech independence. The laptop, which is being widely adopted by government and state groups, is a part of China&#8217;s localization campaign, Xinchuang, <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/5511d73a-1ada-4884-a559-681502300e4f">reported</a> Financial Times.
China&#8217;s quest for a domestic tech supply chain has been a long-standing goal, with a particular focus on semiconductors. The embargoes on high-tech goods by Washington have further motivated Beijing to intensify its efforts.

Since&nbsp;March, central agencies have transitioned&nbsp;from exclusively purchasing laptops running&nbsp;on Intel and AMD processors&nbsp;to&nbsp;acquiring three-quarters of their devices&nbsp;with chips from Chinese companies.
This includes companies like Huawei, Shanghai Zhaoxin, and Phytium, the report noted.
The Qingyun L540 laptop also runs&nbsp;on the Chinese-made Unity Operating&nbsp;System, based on Linux, and all of its&nbsp;applications are made in China.
However, the laptop still relies on some foreign technology, indicating the challenges that lie ahead for China&#8217;s tech independence campaign.

Why It Matters: The push for tech autonomy in China has been a response to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/07/40078235/biden-rule-on-semiconductor-exports-to-china-is-huge-positive-for-chip-sector-suppl">U.S. restrictions on semiconductor</a> exports to China.
In May this year, the Chinese government announced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/39110209/chinas-decapitated-chip-sector-is-thrown-50b-lifeline">a $47.5 billion public fund</a> aimed at fueling the country&#8217;s self-reliance in manufacturing advanced chips.
Earlier, Chinese President&nbsp;Xi Jinping&nbsp;also urged for increased R&amp;D in semiconductors, machine tools, and foundational software, stating that they form the &#8220;technological backbone for independent, secure&nbsp;and controllable supply chains.&#8221;
Earlier this month, an analysis of China's semiconductor technology shows it is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40671027/tsmc-tech-only-3-years-ahead-of-chinas-progress-shows-analysis-us-export-restrictions-have-minimal-i">just three years behind</a> Taiwan Semiconductor Mfg. Co. Ltd.
In the first half of 2024, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/09/40697855/chinas-chipmaking-investments-top-us-taiwan-south-korea-combined-what-it-means-for-nvidia-asml">China invested $25 billion</a> in chipmaking equipment, surpassing the combined spending of South Korea, Taiwan, and the U.S.
Meanwhile, Huawei has received much praise for launching the world's first tri-fold smartphone, the Mate XT.
Although the smartphone is expensive at the price range of $2,800 to $3,371, it has been giving <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40845772/huaweis-2-800-tri-fold-phone-has-the-potential-to-eat-apples-lunch-in-china-here-is-how-it-compares">tough competition</a> to Apple in China.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin Mirror Nvidia-Powered Stocks Rally: Analyst Makes This Unexpected Forecast About Crypto Performance In Q4

Hitachi Rail subsidiary of Hitachi (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HTHIF#OTC">HTHIF</a>)&nbsp;(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HTHIY#OTC">HTHIY</a>) has announced the integration of NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) technology to enhance its railway operations, aiming to reduce maintenance costs and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41010963/nvidia-stock-is-ripping-higher-tuesday-whats-going-on">improve transit reliability</a>.
What Happened: Hitachi Rail, a global leader in transportation, is adopting Nvidia technology to enhance railway operations, reduce maintenance costs, and improve transit reliability, the company said in a news release on Monday.
The company is incorporating the NVIDIA IGX platform into its HMAX system to process sensor and camera data in real time. This integration aims to expedite the detection of track issues, monitor power line degradation, and assess the health of trains and signaling equipment.
Hitachi Rail estimates that proactive maintenance is seven times less costly than emergency repairs. The company's existing AI systems have already reduced service delays by up to 20% and maintenance costs by up to 15%, while cutting energy consumption by up to 40%, according to Nvidia&#8217;s blog post.
Koji Agatsuma, Executive Director and CTO of Rail Vehicles at Hitachi Rail stated, &#8220;Using previous digital monitoring systems, it would take a few days to process the data and discover issues that need attention. If we can instead conduct real-time prediction using NVIDIA technology, that enables us to avoid service disruptions and significantly improve safety, reliability, and operating costs.&#8221;
The new AI applications, developed using NVIDIA AI Enterprise software, will be available through the HMAX platform. These tools will help operators monitor train fleets and infrastructure more efficiently, providing timely alerts and optimizing maintenance schedules.

Why It Matters: The integration of Nvidia technology into Hitachi Rail&#8217;s operations is part of a broader trend of AI adoption in various industries. Recently, Nvidia&#8217;s stock surged following reports that CEO Jensen Huang had completed selling company shares under a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41010963/nvidia-stock-is-ripping-higher-tuesday-whats-going-on">trading plan earlier than expected</a>.
Moreover, Nvidia has been actively expanding its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/09/41005816/alibaba-partners-with-nvidia-to-advance-ai-autonomous-driving-chart-indicates-positive-momentum">AI capabilities through strategic partnerships</a>.

Nvidia's AI Tech Hits The Tracks: Hitachi Rail Taps Into Real-Time Maintenance To Boost Reliability, Slash Costs

Movie actor Robert De Niro spoke out against former President Donald Trump at a recent film premiere, continuing his criticism of Trump ahead of the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election"> 2024 presidential election.</a>
What Happened: While most attention of the "Megalopolis" was on director Francis Ford Coppola's<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/05/38879419/francis-ford-coppola-spent-120m-self-financing-passion-project-what-the-gambit-could-mean-f"> self-financed film</a>, actor De Niro couldn't help but draw parallels from the film's content and the current state of politics.
The film hits on themes like the decline of civilizations and the rise of dictators, as reported by Deadline.
"I see the things in Francis' film about that, the parallels and so on. To me it's not over ‘till it's over and we have to go at this wholeheartedly to beat the Republicans – those Republicans, they're not real Republicans – and beat Trump," De Niro said.
De Niro said the movie shows that we can't have certain "types of people" in leadership roles.
"Everybody has to get out there and vote."
During the Q&amp;A session before the film screening at the AMC Lincoln Square Imax in New York, De Niro offered a comparison to Trump in the film industry.
"Just imagine Donald Trump directing this film. It'll never go anywhere, from total craziness. He cannot do anything. He cannot hold anything together … He wants to destroy the country. And he could not do this movie. He could not do anything that has a structure."
Coppola told the audience that he cast certain actors who "are voting another way" on purpose in the film. Coppola said it's important to note that people can disagree on a film.

Why It's Important: De Niro has been one of the most vocal critics of Trump in recent years.

Nvidia, Alibaba, Capricor Therapeutics, TSMC, Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

On Tuesday, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) took to X to redirect public attention away from political mudslinging. Her post comes amidst a contentious presidential race in which the Democrat Kamala Harris is pitched against the Republican Donald Trump.

Pelosi said about Trump, &#8220;Don't be distracted by what's-his-name's insults and conspiracies.&#8221; She urged voters to instead focus on &#8220;what matters.&#8221; She asked them to vote for Harris and Democrats in the elections. Pelosi also attached a video to her post in which she reacted to a comment by the current House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.). The incumbent was quoted as saying, &#8220;If we have a free, fair and safe election, we&#8217;re going to follow the Constitution absolutely.&#8221;
Pelosi asked, &#8220;Why should there be a caveat?&#8221; — She said, &#8220;He&#8217;s trying again to wed himself to this fake conspiracy theory about the election.&#8221;
Earlier this month, Pelosi had called for unity and civility in the country, stating, "It's necessary for our country for us to move in a unifying direction. We have to take our country back to a place that you can disagree without being fearful for your life."

Nancy Pelosi Says, 'Don't Be Distracted By What's-His-Name's Insults And Conspiracies' — Asks Voters To Choose Kamala Harris Instead

An Israeli airstrike in Beirut has led to the death of a senior Hezbollah commander, intensifying fears of a full-scale war in the Middle East. The incident has triggered a rise in cross-border rocket attacks and Lebanon is now seeking U.S. intervention.
What Happened: The Israeli airstrike on Tuesday claimed the life of senior Hezbollah commander Ibrahim Qubaisi. The attack has heightened fears of a full-blown war in the Middle East, with Lebanon&#8217;s Health Minister Firass Abiad reporting 569 deaths, including 50 children, and 1,835 wounded since Monday, reported Reuters.
The U.N. Security Council is scheduled to discuss the conflict on Wednesday. U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned, &#8220;Lebanon is at the brink. The people of Lebanon – the people of Israel – and the people of the world &#8211; cannot afford Lebanon to become another Gaza.&#8221;
President Joe Biden called for calm at the U.N. General Assembly, stating, &#8220;Full-scale war is not in anyone&#8217;s interest. Even if a situation has escalated, a diplomatic solution is still possible.&#8221;
However, Lebanon&#8217;s Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib criticized Biden&#8217;s address as &#8220;not strong, not promising&#8221; and emphasized that the U.S., as Israel&#8217;s longtime ally and biggest arms supplier, is the only country &#8220;that can really make a difference in the Middle East and with regard to Lebanon.&#8221;
Meanwhile, displaced people in Beirut are seeking shelter in schools and other buildings, with volunteers providing essential supplies. An Israeli strike also hit the seaside town of Jiyyeh, 75 km north of the border with Israel, early on Wednesday.

Why It Matters: The recent airstrike follows a series of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/09/40986207/israel-carries-out-air-assaults-on-hezbollah-in-southern-lebanon">attacks</a> on Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon, which have killed hundreds and escalated hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah.

The situation in Lebanon has been tense, with a series of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40924166/hezbollah-hit-in-new-round-of-explosions-across-lebanon-casualties-climb">explosions</a> targeting Hezbollah operatives.

Biden's Speech 'Not Strong, Not Promising' Says Lebanon's Foreign Minister: US Is The Only Country That Can 'Really Make A Difference In The Middle East'

The Federal Aviation Administration has defended its decision to delay a SpaceX launch, citing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40956691/spacex-ceo-elon-musk-rains-criticism-at-wrong-person-in-his-ongoing-tirade-against-faa">safety concerns and regulatory compliance</a>.
What Happened: FAA Administrator Mike Whitaker addressed House Transportation Committee lawmakers, explaining that SpaceX did not adhere to permitting and licensing requirements. This comes after Elon Musk criticized the FAA's regulations as obstructive, <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2024/09/24/spacex-rocket-launch-delay-faa-00180730">reported</a> Politico on Tuesday.
"The delay of the Starship has to do with SpaceX filing an application and not disclosing if [they] were in violation of Texas, and federal, law on some matters — and that's a requirement to get a permit," Whitaker said.
Whitaker defended the proposed $633,000 fine against SpaceX for conducting two launches in 2023 without approved plans. He emphasized that the fine is the FAA's primary tool to ensure compliance.
The FAA has postponed SpaceX's fifth test launch of its Starship megarocket to November, citing the need for updated environmental analysis and compliance with launch license procedures. This delay is partly due to the potential impact of a sonic boom on wildlife near the Boca Chica, Texas, launch site.
Rep. Kevin Kiley (R-Calif.) questioned whether the FAA's scrutiny was excessive and stifling innovation. Whitaker maintained that the sonic boom analysis is a safety issue and necessary for compliance.
Whitaker suggested that SpaceX adopt a safety management system similar to those used by airlines and manufacturers like Boeing. He reiterated that all companies should have the same oversight and safety measures.
Last week, Musk announced plans to take his grievances to Congress, arguing that the FAA's actions were unwarranted and unrelated to safety. SpaceX's lawyer, David Harris, also contested the FAA's claims in a letter to congressional leaders.

Why It Matters: The conflict between Musk and the FAA has been escalating. On Friday, Musk criticized the FAA, targeting Polly Trottenberg for her <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40956691/spacex-ceo-elon-musk-rains-criticism-at-wrong-person-in-his-ongoing-tirade-against-faa">lack of aviation background</a>, though she was not the acting administrator. 
This followed Musk&#8217;s earlier accusations on Wednesday, where he claimed the FAA&#8217;s proposed fine on SpaceX was over &#8220;nonsense&#8221; that did not impact safety, contrasting it with Boeing's lack of penalties despite safety concerns.
On Thursday, Musk further criticized the FAA for focusing on &#8220;petty matters&#8221; regarding SpaceX while <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40951122/elon-musk-blasts-faa-for-targeting-spacex-over-petty-matters-while-ignoring-boeings-safety-issue">ignoring significant safety issues</a> at Boeing. He argued that this misallocation of resources jeopardizes human lives. 
Musk&#8217;s letter to Congress highlighted the FAA&#8217;s inability to keep pace with the commercial spaceflight industry, addressing key members of Congress, including Rep.&nbsp;Frank Lucas&nbsp;(R-Okla.) and Sen.&nbsp;Ted Cruz&nbsp;(R-Texas).

SpaceX In Violation Of Texas, Federal Law On Some Matters, Says FAA — Agency Hits Back At Elon Musk's Rocket Company

Billionaire investor and television celebrity Mark Cuban welcomed SEC Chair Gary Gensler&#8217;s intense grilling by legislators on his stance on cryptocurrencies, confirming that the Kamala Harris campaign was against &#8220;regulation through litigation.&#8221;
What Happened: On Tuesday, Cuban posted a video on X where Gensler was cross-examined by Rep.&nbsp;Ritchie Torres&nbsp;(D-N.Y.)&nbsp;at the House Financial Services Committee hearing. 
In the video, the Democratic Congressman asked the SEC&#8217;s top executive if there is a distinction between buying a Yankees ticket that granted access to a sporting event and buying a non-fungible token (NFT) that gave access to an animated web series as per Federal securities regulations. Gensler didn&#8217;t give a clear answer to the question. 
Responding to this, Cuban said that Gensler&#8217;s days at the SEC are numbered and his exit would result in a potential boost in GDP growth.
Cuban, who is also part of the Democratic-leaning <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/08/40385566/mark-cuban-gets-an-assurance-out-of-chuck-schumer-will-pass-sensible-and-long-lasting-cryp">pro-cryptocurrency lobby</a>, revealed that the Harris campaign was vehemently against "regulation through litigation," something which Gensler has been accused of doing.

A long-time critic of Gensler, Cuban also referred to the SEC Chairman as a &#8220;blight on the technology community,&#8221; raising concerns about the Howey Test&#8217;s applicability in initiating enforcement actions against cryptocurrency entities.

Why It Matters: Cuban&#8217;s remarks reflected ongoing criticism of the SEC&#8217;s approach to cryptocurrency regulation.

Pro-cryptocurrency SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/41009150/gary-gensler-led-sec-moved-forward-with-enforcing-crypto-regulation-despite-legal-problems">admitted that the agency proceeded with regulatory actions</a> against cryptocurrency companies despite potential legal implications. This approach, she noted, was detrimental to the SEC&#8217;s institutional integrity.

Mark Cuban Calls Gary Gensler A 'Blight' After SEC Chair Gets Grilled On Crypto By Congress: 'You Leaving Is Worth A Point In GDP Growth'

On Tuesday, an executive from the cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRWD#NASDAQ">CRWD</a>) faced questioning from House lawmakers regarding a global technology <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/39854612/windows-pcs-crash-worldwide-with-users-experiencing-blue-screen-of-death-issue-crowdstrike-updat">outage that occurred in July</a>.
What Happened: Adam Meyers, senior vice president of CrowdStrike, expressed his company&#8217;s regret for the incident that disrupted thousands of flights and various industries.
&#8220;We are deeply sorry this happened and are determined to prevent it from happening again,&#8221; Meyers stated during his opening remarks, <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/house/4897374-crowdstrike-executive-testifies-outage/">reported</a> The Hill.
The hearing, held by the House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Cybersecurity and Infrastructure, was the first to address the July 19 update mishap by CrowdStrike.
The faulty update crashed computers running Microsoft Corporation&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) Windows software, leading <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39870321/tesla-ceo-elon-musk-blasts-satya-nadella-after-microsoft-crowdstrike-issue-takes-down-millions-of-co">to a global outage</a>.

During the questioning, Meyers stated that the outage was not a result of a cyberattack but was caused by a rapid response content update from CrowdStrike.
&#8220;I can assure you that we will take the lessons learned from this incident and use them to inform our work as we improve for the future,&#8221; he said.
Homeland Security Committee Chair Rep. Mark Green (R-Tenn.) raised the pressing issue of artificial intelligence, questioning the executive responsible for approving the update and whether AI was involved in the decision, the report noted.
In response, Meyers said that AI had no role in the decision-making process, explaining that the update was one of 10 to 12 released daily by the company.
He added that the firm has stopped deploying updates to all customers simultaneously to prevent a recurrence of the issue.

Why It Matters: The global IT outage, attributed to a software update from CrowdStrike, was described as the "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39870313/microsoft-crowdstrike-issue-caused-largest-it-outage-in-history-showing-how-much-we-depend-on-a-hand">largest IT outage in history</a>,&#8221; impacting computer systems running on the Windows operating system and cloud services.
The incident affected businesses worldwide, including airlines, banks, media, and even 911 services.
Following the outage, Delta Air Lines, Inc. disclosed that it expects the operational disruptions to have a direct revenue <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/08/40279069/delta-bleeds-money-after-tech-disaster-pursues-legal-claims-against-crowdstrike-and-microsoft">impact of $380 million</a> for the September quarter due to flight cancellations and customer compensation.
Microsoft pointed the finger at Delta for its extended recovery from the outage, stating that the airline's lack of IT modernization contributed to the prolonged recovery.
Delta defended its IT infrastructure, stating it has invested billions in IT capital expenditures since 2016.

CrowdStrike Executive Struck By Regret In House Hearing, Says Company Determined To Prevent Instances Like Microsoft Outage From Repeating: 'Deeply Sorry This Happened'

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) has said that the House will not pass a substantial bill to fund the government in December.
What Happened: Johnson made this revelation during a press conference on Tuesday, echoing a message he had previously shared privately in a House GOP conference meeting, <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/house/4896433-mike-johnson-december-omnibus/">reported</a> The Hill.
&#8220;There won't be a Christmas omnibus,&#8221; said the House Speaker at the presser.
Despite the expectation of a stopgap to clear the House this week, set to expire on Dec. 20, Johnson is firm that there will be no Christmas omnibus. This marks a significant shift from historical norms, as Congress has frequently passed omnibus spending bills when funding deadlines align with year-end holidays.
Johnson&#8217;s promise is viewed as a daring move, considering his struggles to rally the slim House GOP majority behind a successful strategy to pressure the Democratic-controlled Senate and White House on spending.
The House is scheduled to vote on a continuing resolution (CR) to extend government funding until Dec. 20 on Wednesday, aiming to avoid a government shutdown on Oct. 1. Despite opposition from many conservatives, the bill is predicted to pass with Democratic support.
Johnson also ruled out the possibility of other large funding legislation packages, such as &#8220;minibuses&#8221; — bills that combine funding for some, but not all, areas of government.
House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) supported Johnson&#8217;s stance, framing this week&#8217;s stopgap bill as a victory as it did not include additional funding that Senate Democrats desired.
Johnson cited last year&#8217;s extension of government funding to two separate dates past December as evidence that he could avoid an omnibus this year. He stressed his resolve to break away from the &#8220;terrible tradition&#8221; of the Christmas omnibus.
He said, &#8220;We don't want any buses. We're not going to do any buses, OK?"

Why It Matters: Johnson&#8217;s announcement comes in the wake of a series of events that have shaped the current funding landscape. Earlier, a significant development occurred when <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40931809/house-republicans-reject-their-own-funding-bill-as-government-shutdown-looms-mike-johnson-says-we-ha">House Republicans rejected Johnson&#8217;s proposal</a> to fund the government, complicating efforts to avoid a government shutdown.
Despite this setback, Johnson and other GOP leaders proposed a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40972702/house-gop-leaders-pitch-3-month-funding-plan-drop-trump-backed-voter-id-proposal-mike-johnson-says-s">three-month plan</a> to keep the government funded, reducing the initial six-month proposal and excluding a Donald Trump-endorsed measure requiring proof of citizenship to vote.
Senate Majority Leader, Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), had earlier warned that the Republicans <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40890590/chuck-schumer-says-if-government-shutdown-happens-it-will-because-of-republican-poison-pills-the-ame">would be held accountable</a> if a government shutdown occurred due to &#8220;poison pills.&#8221;

Mike Johnson Vows No Christmas Omnibus, Breaking From A 'Terrible Tradition': 'We're Not Going To Do Any Buses, OK?'

The early resumes of tech industry pioneers Steve Jobs and Bill Gates resurfaced online last month, making it clear that even at the age of 18, they were already showcasing impressive skills.
What Happened: Bloomberg&#8217;s Jon Erlichman took to X and posted the resumes, describing them as &#8220;Steve Jobs and Bill Gates&#8217; resumes at age 18.&#8221;
At the time of writing, his post had garnered over 119,000 views and&nbsp;nearly 1,300 likes.
The 1973 resume of Jobs, co-founder of Apple Inc., was partially handwritten. It highlights &#8220;electronics tech&#8221; as one of his special abilities, with &#8220;design engineering&#8221; as his interest.
Jobs said he majored in English literature and gave his address out as &#8220;Reed College.&#8221; Interestingly, according to the college website, he was a student there in the fall of 1972 and dropped out after just one semester. He continued living on the campus and auditing classes including Shakespeare, modern dance, and calligraphy. 
One user in the comments noted that Jobs&#8217; resume lacked a phone number, which is ironic considering he later revolutionized the global phone industry with the launch of the iPhone.
His answer to the &#8220;Access to transportation&#8221; question was also praised by some people. Jobs had answered the question, saying, &#8220;Possible, but not probable.&#8221;

On the other hand, Gates&#8217;&nbsp;resume, written during his first&nbsp;year at Harvard University in 1974,&nbsp;shows him applying for the&nbsp;role of &#8220;System Analyst or System Programmer.&#8221;
Social media users found it amusing to see Gates&#8217; height and weight listed on his resume. The Microsoft Corporation co-founder had also listed his current salary as $15,000.

He returned to&nbsp;Apple in 1997&nbsp;after a 12-year hiatus, saving the company from bankruptcy and leading it to become one of the world&#8217;s largest tech firms.
Meanwhile, Gates has made significant contributions to&nbsp;personal computing and software and&nbsp;is also recognized for his philanthropic efforts.
After dropping out of college at 19, Gates co-founded Microsoft and transformed it into a global tech powerhouse.
His unique approach to financial management and business acumen led him to dominate the Forbes list of the world&#8217;s wealthiest individuals for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/07/39600675/bill-gates-was-the-worlds-richest-man-for-a-record-18-years-his-secret-to-success-saving-like-a-">18 out of 23 years from 1995 to 2017</a>.

'Possible, But Not Probable': Steve Jobs' Witty Transportation Answer In 1973 Resume Earns Him Online Accolades — Bill Gates $15k Salary No Less Impressive In The Same Era

ORGS

Trading Halt: Halted at 7:50:00 p.m. ET - Trading Halt: Halt News Pending

Vice President Kamala Harris continues to lead former President Donald Trump in a head-to-head poll of likely voters with less than 50 days to go until the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election"> 2024 presidential election.</a>
What Happened: Since the Sept. 10 presidential debate, Harris has led in most head-to-head polls against the former president and has been given an edge <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40993290/trump-vs-harris-2024-election-betting-odds-show-vice-president-maintains-lead-as-race-near">in betting odds </a>and prediction markets.
Polls pointed to Harris being<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/09/40824831/harris-vs-trump-swing-state-voters-pick-presidential-debate-winner-share-thoughts-on-immigration" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> crowned the winner</a> of the first presidential debate between her and the former president. Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/09/40843816/trump-declines-harris-debate-challenge-there-will-be-no-third-debate" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">declined to do more debates </a>ahead of the election and said he won the first meeting between the two candidates.
A new Morning Consult poll of likely voters shows Harris&#8217; lead growing after the presidential debate.
The new poll shows the following results from voters, with the results from the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/09/40910999/trump-in-trouble-vice-president-harris-has-record-6-point-lead-in-2024-election-poll-after-debat"> Sept. 17 poll </a>in parentheses:
<ul>
<li>Kamala Harris: 50% (51%)</li>
<li>Donald Trump: 45% (45%)</li>
<li>Someone Else: 2% (2%)</li>
<li>Don't Know: 3% (2%)</li>
</ul>
The poll found that 94% of Democrats backed Harris as their top pick, in line with last week's poll. The poll also found 91% of Republicans backed Trump as their top pick, which was in line with last week's poll.
Independent voters selected the following as their head-to-head preference, with the results from the Sept. 17 poll in parentheses:
<ul>
<li>Kamala Harris: 46% (47%)</li>
<li>Donald Trump: 42% (41%)</li>
<li>Someone Else: 6% (6%)</li>
<li>Don't Know: 6% (6%)</li>
</ul>
The vice president also has the edge in the 18-34 age voters demographic, leading 54% to 42%. The 12-point lead is down from last week's 15-point lead, but well ahead of past leads of 10 points and five points last month.
Among Black voters, Harris leads of 80% to 16%. This marks the highest support for Harris since polling began and the lowest for Trump in the demographic in the 2024 election cycle.

</ul>
 Why It's Important: There is good and bad news for both candidates in the latest poll.
Harris' record lead of six points last week drops to a five-point lead. Harris also saw her lead in the 18-34 age demographic and among Independent voters fall, which could be welcome signs for Trump.
The latest poll shows Harris with a favorable rating of 53%, in line with last week's poll and tied for the largest rating for Harris in the 2024 election cycle. With an unfavorable rating of 44 points, Harris' net favorability hits a record +9 points.
For comparison, Trump has a 45% favorable rating and 53% unfavorable rating, good for a net favorability of -8 points. Trump's net favorability has often been negative during the election cycle.
When it comes to running mates, Harris' vice-presidential pick Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz ranks significantly ahead of Trump's vice-presidential pick Sen. J.D. Vance in net favorability. Walz has a net favorability of +9 while Vance has a net favorability of -10.
With less than two months to go in the 2024 election, the race remains close and the five-point and growing lead could be a sign of a potential shift in how close the race is. But it&#8217;s important to remember that polls are not entirely perfect.
Biden had an eight-point lead over Trump two months before the 2020 election and ended up winning the popular vote by four points.
While Harris leads in several key demographics such as independents and young voters, the 2024 election will likely come down to swing states.
Morning Consult recently released the results of likely voters<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/swing-states" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> in swing states </a>and several other states expected to be close. Here are the current <a href="https://pro.morningconsult.com/trackers/2024-election-state-polls?utm_source=briefing&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=washington_am&amp;utm_content=091024" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">results</a>:
<ul>
<li>Arizona: 49% Trump, 47% Harris </li>
<li>Georgia:&nbsp;48% Harris, 48% Trump</li>
<li>Michigan: 49% Harris, 46% Trump</li>
<li>Nevada:&nbsp;48% Harris, 48% Trump</li>
<li>North Carolina:&nbsp;48% Harris, 48% Trump</li>
<li>Pennsylvania: 49% Harris, 46% Trump</li>
<li>Wisconsin: 49% Harris, 46% Trump</li>
</ul>
In the key seven swing states, Harris leads in three states, Trump leads in one state and the two candidates are tied in three states.

Stitch Fix Stock Falls After Q4 Results: Here's Why (CORRECTION)

Boeing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) should be able to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/space/24/09/41013092/boeing-vs-spacex-will-stumbles-in-union-negotiations-space-travel-weaken-aerospace-giants-standing-">quickly ramp up</a> aircraft production once the strike ends, according to an analyst.
Goldman Sachs analyst Noah Poponak said he expects the strike, which began on Sept. 13, will end soon, though the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, a union representing roughly 33,000 Boeing workers, rejected the company&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/09/40996898/boeings-striking-workers-reject-best-and-final-offer-it-missed-the-mark-on-many-of-the-things">&#8220;best and final offer&#8221;</a> on Monday.
&nbsp;&#8220;IAM workers at Boeing are on strike, though we expect a resolution soon, and for Boeing to be able to pick back up its aircraft production and delivery momentum,&#8221; Poponak wrote in a note Tuesday.
&#8220;Deliveries the last few months have improved and September was tracking quite strong before the strike.&#8221;
The striking machinists produce the 737 Max, Boeing's top-selling airliner, the 777 jet and the 767 cargo plane.
On the same day the strike began, Moody&#8217;s Investment Ratings said it would look at how the strike would impact the company&#8217;s production and cash flow while maintaining the lowest investment-grade rating for the company.

&#8220;Boeing is therefore likely considering options to raise capital to maintain its credit rating, and more debt does not solve near-term concerns,&#8221; Poponak wrote.
&#8220;We assume Boeing raises $12bn of equity before year-end, which matches the total maturities due in 2025 + 2026, and keeps the cash balance well north of $10bn in the near-to-medium-term while they ramp back up commercial deliveries and strive to resolve defense profitability.&#8221;
He said raising $12 billion in equity in the fourth quarter would put the company&#8217;s cash balance at or above $20 billion, which would give Boeing &#8220;ample cushion&#8221; providing ample cushion as new CEO Kelly Ortberg comes in and starts to lay out a strategic path forward.&nbsp;
&#8220;While BA continues to face several challenges to work through near-term, we see attractive valuation relative to long-term fundamentals and are Buy rated on the stock,&#8221; Poponak said.
BA Price Action: Boeing declined 0.30% to close at $155.81 on Tuesday.

This action RPG, rooted in Chinese mythology, took the number one spot for overall earnings in the U.S., U.K., Germany, France, Spain and Italy highlighting its remarkable success in its debut month, GamesIndustry.biz <a href="https://www.gamesindustry.biz/black-myth-wukong-top-grossing-game-for-august-2024-newzoo-charts">reported.</a>

Not only did Black Myth: Wukong dominate these markets, but it also claimed the top position in the PC category. On Sony Group Corp.&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SONY#NYSE">SONY</a>) PlayStation, it was the third-highest-grossing title, only trailing behind Fortnite and Electronic Arts Inc&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EA#NASDAQ">EA</a>) EA Sports Madden NFL 25, showing that it performed strongly across multiple platforms. 
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">The First Descendant Experiences Revenue Decline</h1>
While Black Myth: Wukong thrived, other games like The First Descendant saw less favorable trends. 
According to Newzoo&#8217;s August analysis, the game experienced a steep revenue decline from June to August. Despite initial success, the competitive market and new releases may have contributed to this downturn.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Popular Titles See Engagement Boosts</h1>
Several established titles saw significant gains in monthly active users (MAUs) during August. 
Fall Guys, Diablo 4 and World of Warcraft were among the games that witnessed notable increases in player activity. In particular, World of Warcraft saw its biggest MAU increase of 2024, climbing nine ranks in Newzoo's engagement chart.
Another major title, Warner Bros. Discovery Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBD#NASDAQ">WBD</a>) Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, experienced a substantial boost in player engagement. This was largely due to its inclusion in the PlayStation Plus lineup and a 75% discount on Nintendo ADR&#8216;s (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NTDOY#OTC">NTDOY</a>) Nintendo Switch Store, which helped bring in new and returning players.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Top Games by Revenue And MAUs For August</h1>
Newzoo's report also highlighted the top-performing games by revenue across PC and consoles for August. While Black Myth: Wukong led the revenue rankings, other big names like Fortnite and Madden NFL 25 secured second and third spots respectively.
In terms of monthly active users, Fortnite, Microsoft Corp.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2/3/Warzone, and Minecraft dominated the top of the charts, maintaining their strong engagement among players across the six markets analyzed. 
Titles such as Diablo 4 also moved up significantly in the MAU rankings, driven by new updates that re-engaged the player base.
