Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) and JD.Com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>) saw significant gains after China&#8217;s central bank revealed new economic stimulus measures.
What Happened: The market rally follows the People's Bank of China announcing a reduction in the amount of cash banks need to hold and outlining plans to support the struggling property market. These measures aim to boost the Chinese economy, CNBC <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/09/27/alibaba-tencent-rally-as-china-tech-stocks-rise-on-stimulus-plans.html">reported</a> on Friday.
As per <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>, Alibaba was up 2.17% and trading at $106.81 at the time of writing while JD was up by 4.90% and trading at $39.65 simultaneously.
Big-name investors like billionaire hedge fund founder David Tepper have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/24/09/41050711/stocks-rise-as-china-signals-more-stimulus-billionaire-david-tepper-bets-big-on-everythi">become more bullish</a> on Chinese stocks, with Tepper buying more shares in companies like Alibaba and Baidu after the U.S. Federal Reserve cut interest rates this month.

Why It Matters: The Chinese government&#8217;s recent economic stimulus measures are part of a broader effort to stabilize its economy amid ongoing challenges. The Chinese economy has been grappling with a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/09/34456789/chinas-economic-challenges-and-the-global-impact">property market slump,</a> weakening consumer demand, and trade tensions with the U.S. These issues have prompted the government to take action to prevent a deeper economic downturn.
Additionally, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/08/34356789/us-china-trade-tensions-and-their-impact-on-global-markets">U.S.-China trade tensions</a> have had a significant impact on global markets, influencing investor sentiment and economic policies in both countries. The recent stimulus measures by China are seen as an attempt to mitigate these effects and restore confidence in its markets.
Furthermore, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/07/34256789/chinas-tech-sector-recovery-and-its-implications">recovery of China&#8217;s tech sector</a> is crucial for the global technology industry. Companies like Alibaba, Tencent, and Meituan play a significant role in the global tech ecosystem, and their performance can have ripple effects across international markets.

Major Chinese cities Shanghai and Shenzhen are poised to lift significant home purchase restrictions in the coming weeks, aiming to attract buyers and revitalize their <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/09/40974460/chinas-central-bank-follows-feds-dovish-move-cuts-key-short-term-rates-injects-over-10b-to-boost-eco">struggling real estate markets</a>.
What Happened: The changes will allow potential buyers to purchase homes without undergoing eligibility checks. Additionally, individuals from other regions in China will be permitted to buy properties in these cities, which were previously restricted due to concerns over excessive speculation, Reuters reported, citing four sources with knowledge of the matter.
The report revealed that both cities plan to eliminate limits on the number of homes one can purchase. This decision aligns with efforts by other Chinese cities that have abolished purchase restrictions over the past year to boost demand in the crisis-hit sector.
These developments follow broader <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/09/40974460/chinas-central-bank-follows-feds-dovish-move-cuts-key-short-term-rates-injects-over-10b-to-boost-eco">monetary stimulus and property support measures</a> announced by the central bank on Tuesday, which include liquidity injections and interest rate cuts. The goal is to restore confidence in the economy and achieve the 2024 economic growth target of approximately 5%.
China&#8217;s CSI 300 Real Estate Index saw a 7.8% rise in the morning session on Friday, further extending gains. The easing measures are part of a broader strategy to stabilize the troubled property sector, which has been in a prolonged downturn since mid-2021.

Why It Matters: The decision by Shanghai and Shenzhen to lift home purchase restrictions comes amid a series of aggressive economic stimulus measures by the People&#8217;s Bank of China. On Monday, the PBoC cut a key short-term <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/09/40974460/chinas-central-bank-follows-feds-dovish-move-cuts-key-short-term-rates-injects-over-10b-to-boost-eco">interest rate and injected over $10 billion</a> into the financial system to boost the economy. 
Following this, Chinese stocks surged to their <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/09/40986319/chinese-stocks-defy-bidens-auto-import-ban-concerns-rally-to-4-month-highs-as-central-bank-unexpecte">highest levels in four months</a> on Monday, driven by hopes for additional stimulus. 
On Tuesday, Chinese stocks continued their upward trend as the PBoC unveiled <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/09/41003814/chinese-stocks-jump-as-central-bank-unveils-major-stimulus-to-spur-economy-a-step-in-the-right-direc">further monetary stimulus</a>, including cuts to the reserve requirement ratio for banks. 
By Wednesday, the economic stimulus had sparked optimism among analysts, who identified several large-cap Chinese stocks with strong upside potential. The PBoC&#8217;s measures are expected to inject approximately $140 billion into the economy, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/09/41032804/chinas-stimulus-sparks-optimism-3-large-cap-stocks-with-analyst-buy-ratings">encouraging more lending to boost growth</a>.

Tesla Inc. and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk&#8217;s social media platform X, formerly Twitter, is reportedly making efforts to re-establish its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40952310/elon-musks-x-fined-1m-a-day-by-brazils-supreme-court-for-defying-ban-on-platform-judge-says-part-of">presence in Brazil</a>.
What Happened: X has appealed to Brazil&#8217;s Supreme Court to revoke&nbsp;a ban on the platform,&nbsp;asserting its compliance with orders to control misinformation, reported Reuters, citing a document.
The platform was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40664929/brazil-judge-bans-x-after-months-long-feud-threatens-fines-of-nearly-9k-per-day-on-users-who-try-to">banned in late August</a> following a disagreement with a local judge over what Musk referred to as &#8220;censorship.&#8221;

Earlier this month, after Musk&#8217;s companies <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/09/40864550/brazils-supreme-court-lifts-freeze-on-starlink-and-xs-finances-after-elon-musks-companies-cough-up-3">paid $3.3 million in fines</a>, Brazil's Supreme Court Justice Moraes lifted the freezes on Starlink and X bank accounts.

Elon Musk's X Reportedly Aims For Brazil Reentry, Backs Down From Censorship Dispute

Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) CEO Jim Farley drove through Europe in an electric vehicle in August and came back with several realizations including the need for a better charging infrastructure if <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41060572/ev-sales-expected-to-gain-momentum-in-us-in-q3-even-as-market-leader-tesla-is-projected-to-decline-r">EV adoption is to pick up pace in the U.S.</a>
What Happened: Farley drove from Germany to Italy to meet with Ford Pro employees, dealers, customers, and upfitters in a new electric <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40525705/fords-e-transit-van-could-be-its-golden-goose-until-new-evs-start-rolling-out-in-2026">Ford E-Transit Custom </a>and its plug-in hybrid variant in August, the CEO said in a note on Linkedin.
During the journey, the CEO experienced little issues with charging unlike during his journey on an EV across California last year, he said. 
&#8220;One of the key reasons electric vehicle adoption has stalled in the U.S. is a lack of charging, especially for long distance drives. There's still more work to be done in Europe and bolder investment needed by policymakers to get to mass coverage, but I was excited by the existing charging options I saw and how reliable access lowers range anxiety,&#8221; the CEO said.
Farley also said that he realized customers want a range of powertrain solutions depending on their use of the vehicle. While some will stick to diesel and hybrids for the foreseeable future, some businesses are going electric to lower costs, he said. 
The Ford CEO reiterated the company&#8217;s commitment to decarbonization in his note but added that hybrids, plug-in hybrids, and partially electric vehicles will &#8220;coexist with electric vehicles longer than anyone previously thought.&#8221;
Ford Pulls Back On EVs: Ford is now postponing previously stated EV timelines and has even dropped new products. Last month, Ford said that it is&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/08/40496864/ford-scraps-electric-suv-as-it-adjusts-to-lower-electric-vehicle-demand" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">killing its plans to build a three-row electric SUV</a>, initially slated for production in 2025. The company also postponed its plans for a new electric version of its F-150 pickup to 2027 and said it will start making a new electric commercial van in 2026.
More details on the company's EV strategy are now expected in the first half of 2025.
EV Financials: Ford&#8217;s EV segment recorded an earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) loss of $1.14 billion <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/07/39943178/ford-q2-earnings-highlights-revenue-beat-eps-miss-transit-vans-hit-record-ev-sales-fall-37" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">in the second quarter</a> owing to industry-wide pricing pressure and lower wholesales despite significant cost reductions in the segment.
For the whole year, Ford expects to incur a loss of $5 billion to $5.5 billion within the EV segment, called Model E.

Ford CEO Jim Farley's EU Roadtrip Sparks Call For Better EV Charging Infrastructure In US, Says He Was 'Excited' By Charging Options Available

Vice President Kamala Harris remains in the lead in two key swing states that will matter for the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election">Nov. 5 election results, </a>according to a new poll by the University of Massachusetts Lowell/YouGov Survey published Thursday.
Tally In Michigan: Harris had a five-point lead in Michigan as she received the support of 48% of the likely voters versus the 43% support Republican candidate Donald Trump received. No other candidate received more than 2% support and 3% said they were undecided.
The survey was conducted on Sept. 11-19 with a sample of 650 likely voters in Michigan, with the adjusted sample of error at plus, or minus 4.37%. 
&#8220;For a swing state, this margin is good news for the vice president's campaign," said Rodrigo Castro Cornejo, UMass Lowell assistant professor of political science. 
&#8220;In the next few days, we can expect the Harris campaign will defend her lead. The Trump campaign, on the other hand, has a negative favorability that needs to be overcome if they want to remain competitive in the state.&#8221;
The Harris as well as Trump backers are firm in their choices, with only 6% of Trump backers and 4% of Harris backers saying they could change their minds and vote for different candidates.
On a negative note, Trump&#8217;s favorability rating left a lot to be desired. Notwithstanding the close race, suggested by the head-on-head matchup, the former president had a net negativity favorability rating of -15, with 41% viewing him favorably, while 56% viewed him unfavorably. Three percent said they had no opinion about him.
Harris had a net neutral favorability rating, with 47% each saying they viewed her favorably and unfavorably. Five percent said they had no opinion about her.
Trump is scheduled to campaign in West Michigan on Friday and is scheduled to speak at a manufacturing facility in a Grand Rapids suburb and host a town hall at Macomb Community College in Warren. Meanwhile, Harris was in Michigan last week and participated in a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40950764/kamala-harris-tells-oprah-winfrey-she-felt-a-sense-of-responsibility-after-bidens-sudden-exit-it-cam">livestream event hosted by TV host </a>Oprah Winfrey from Farmington Hills.

Tally in Pennsylvania: Harris prevailed over Trump by a margin of 48%-46% in the key swing state of Pennsylvania, another UMass UMass Lowell Center for Public Opinion&nbsp;and YouGov poll showed. No other candidate received more than 1% support and 4% said they were undecided. 
The poll was conducted online-based between Sept. 11-19 and had a margin of error of plus/minus 4 percentage points.&nbsp;
Four percent of Trump voters said they could switch their preferences and a steeper 7% of Harris felt similarly.
&#8220;The presidential race remains very close in Pennsylvania with the coming weeks a crucial time for both campaigns,&#8221; said Castro Cornejo. &#8220;As can be expected in a highly competitive race with few undecided voters, get-out-the-vote strategies will become increasingly important to mobilize supporters and ensure they go to the polls on Election Day.&#8221;
No other candidate on the ballot received more than 1% of support from respondents in the survey, while 4% reported remaining undecided.
Harris had a net negative favorability rating of 1%, while her rival had a far worse negative 11 percent favorability rating.
In the Senate race, Sen. Bob Casey, Jr. (D-Pa.) was ahead of David McCormick by a 47%-38% margin.
The polling averages compiled by prominent pollster <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40933807/nate-silver-says-2024-race-still-tossup-despite-kamala-harris-post-debate-bump-our-elections-arent-d">Nate Silver</a> showed Harris leading Trump by 1.5 points in Pennsylvania (48.8%-47.3%) and by 2.3 points in Michigan (49.1%-46.8%).

Trump Vs. Harris: As Vice President Builds Lead In Michigan And Inches Ahead In Pennsylvania, Pollster Says 'Get-Out-The-Vote Strategies' Crucial In Highly Competitive Race

OpenAI&#8216;s CFO Sarah Friar reportedly informed employees that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41043358/sam-altman-poised-for-10-5b-payday-as-openai-transitions-to-for-profit-model-with-150b-valuation-on">investor interest in the company&#8217;s funding round</a> was &#8220;incredibly high.&#8221; 
What Happened: This announcement aimed to reassure staff following the unexpected resignations of several high-profile executives, reported Axios, <a href="https://www.axios.com/2024/09/27/openai-mira-murati-sam-altman-staff-meeting?ref=biztoc.com">citing</a> a source familiar with the situation.
The departures began with CTO Mira Murati, who informed CEO Sam Altman of her decision on Wednesday morning. 
Her resignation was publicly announced later that afternoon. Following Murati&#8217;s exit, Chief Research Officer Bob McGrew and VP of Research Barret Zoph also announced their departures.
During a half-hour staff meeting on Thursday, Altman, appearing remotely from Italy, along with Friar and Murati, addressed the company&#8217;s direction and future. Altman expressed gratitude towards Murati and acknowledged the promotion of Mark Chen to Senior VP of Research and Jakub Pachocki to Chief Scientist.
Friar highlighted the overwhelming investor interest in the funding round, describing it as &#8220;very oversubscribed and market-defining.&#8221; She noted that investors are impressed by OpenAI&#8217;s progress and potential.
A clause in the funding agreement allows investors to request their money back if OpenAI does not restructure within two years, according to the report.
Additionally, OpenAI&#8217;s board is contemplating a shift away from its nonprofit roots, potentially granting significant equity to Altman. 
OpenAI did not immediately respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> comment request.

Why It Matters: The recent high-profile departures at OpenAI come at a crucial time as the company undergoes significant changes. CEO Altman recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41059344/sam-altman-hits-back-at-trolls-after-mira-muratis-openai-exit-explains-executive-drain-as-natural-we">defended the executive exits</a>, stating that such changes are natural for a rapidly growing company. 
OpenAI is also transitioning to a for-profit model, a move that could significantly benefit Altman financially. The restructuring aims to attract more investors and could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41043358/sam-altman-poised-for-10-5b-payday-as-openai-transitions-to-for-profit-model-with-150b-valuation-on">lead to an IPO in the future</a>. 
Furthermore, OpenAI has reportedly been engaging with President Joe Biden&#8216;s administration to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41020113/sam-altmans-openai-pushes-biden-administration-for-massive-5gw-data-centers-equivalent-to-output-of">expand its data centers</a>, highlighting the economic and national security benefits. 
Lastly, OpenAI&#8217;s collaboration with Apple Inc.&#8216;s former design legend Jony Ive on a new AI hardware project adds another layer of intrigue to the company&#8217;s future. Details about <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40973399/apples-former-design-maestro-jony-ive-confirms-hes-joined-forces-with-openais-sam-altman-for-a-new-a">this project remain scarce</a>.

OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar Reassures Staff Of 'Incredibly High' Investor Interest As CTO Mira Murati And Key Executives Exit Amid Major Strategic Shift

British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer had a two-hour dinner with former U.S. President Donald Trump in New York. However, he did not meet Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris.
What Happened: The dinner, held at Trump Tower, marked the first meeting between Sir Keir and Trump. They were joined by Foreign Secretary David Lammy. The prime minister was in New York for the UN General Assembly, BBC <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c2439897mg2o">reported</a> on Friday.
Neither the U.K. government nor Trump have disclosed the topics discussed during the dinner. Starmer described the meeting as &#8220;good,&#8221; while Trump praised Keir&#8217;s electoral race and popularity.
Despite being in New York, Sir Keir did not meet with Harris, citing &#8220;usual diary challenges.&#8221; Harris was in Washington for talks with President Joe Biden and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
When asked about the potential impact of a Trump presidency on UK support for Ukraine, Sir Keir emphasized the longstanding special relationship between the U.K. and the U.S.

Why It Matters: This meeting comes after a recent encounter between Sir Keir and President Joe Biden on Sept.14, where they <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40867065/starmer-and-biden-meet-focus-on-ukraine-amid-putin-threats">discussed the ongoing conflict</a> in Ukraine and the threats posed by Vladimir Putin. The meeting, held at the White House, highlighted the strong alliance between the U.K. and the U.S. in addressing global issues.
Meanwhile, a recent survey revealed that 55% of chief financial officers (CFOs) believe <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41049170/harris-vs-trump-55-cfos-believe-vice-president-likely-to-win-election-although-ex-president-is-bette">Harris is likely to win</a> the upcoming presidential election, despite many considering Trump better suited to handle economic challenges.

British PM Dines With Trump, Skips Meeting With Kamala Harris Due To 'Usual Diary Challenges'

Steve Ballmer, the former CEO of Microsoft and current owner of the Los Angeles Clippers, has declared Elon Musk-owned social media platform X (formerly Twitter) as his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40969810/elon-musk-faces-sec-backlash-over-missed-testimony-quips-actual-crimes-go-unpunished">go-to source for news</a>. 
What Happened: This comes amid ongoing debates about the reliability of social media for news consumption and the struggles of traditional news outlets in the digital age.
&#8220;What I get on X is what news sources think is their most important stuff,&#8221; Ballmer stated in a recent interview. &#8220;I follow people who are important in world events. I wanna know straight from the source.&#8221;
The clip of Ballmer&#8217;s interview was shared by X CEO Linda Yaccarino on the platform, who emphasized the point by stating, &#8220;If you want the news, X is the place says facts guy,&#8221; and tagged Ballmer&#8217;s X account.
<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">If you want the news, X is the place says facts guy <a href="https://twitter.com/Steven_Ballmer?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Steven_Ballmer</a> ! <a href="https://t.co/tSt0aReoEe">pic.twitter.com/tSt0aReoEe</a>
&mdash; Linda Yaccarino (@lindayaX) <a href="https://twitter.com/lindayaX/status/1839353871287939404?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 26, 2024</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Interestingly, Microsoft, the company Ballmer once led, has its own news division. Microsoft News, initially launched in 2012, has seen significant development under current CEO Satya Nadella since 2014. Nadella&#8217;s leadership has steered Microsoft towards cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and digital content, including news services.

Why It Matters: The endorsement from Ballmer, coupled with Yaccarino&#8217;s promotion of it, also underscores Musk&#8217;s ambitions to position X as a leading platform for news and real-time information, potentially challenging both traditional media outlets and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40145058/elon-musk-says-real-time-data-from-x-tesla-cars-and-optimus-robots-in-future-will-make-grok-best-ai">other tech giants in the news space</a>.

This surge in wealth was attributed to Ballmer&#8217;s investments in various ventures, including sports and real estate.
Ballmer&#8217;s financial success is part of a trend among American billionaires who have attained their status <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/37059392/from-steve-ballmer-to-jamie-dimon-meet-the-billionaires-who-amassed-their-wealth-without-founding-a">not by establishing companies or inheriting wealth</a> but by climbing the ranks. This exclusive cadre of billionaires includes notable figures such as Apple&#8216;s Tim Cook, JPMorgan&#8216;s Jamie Dimon, and Ballmer.

Ex-Microsoft CEO And Billionaire Steve Ballmer Says He Gets 'Most Important Stuff' From Elon Musk's X: 'I Wanna Know Straight From The Source'

Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) has introduced a sweeping bill to reform the Supreme Court, aiming to restore public trust in the institution.
What Happened: The legislation seeks to expand the number of justices from nine to 15 over 12 years. This staggered approach aims to prevent any single political party from dominating the court. Wyden, who chairs the Senate Finance Committee, said the bill&#8217;s goal is to rebuild public confidence in the judiciary, The Washington Post <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/09/26/supreme-court-reform-15-justices-wyden/">reported</a> on Friday.
Another key provision requires a two-thirds majority in the Supreme Court and circuit courts to overturn Congressional laws. This aims to curb the court&#8217;s recent trend of overturning laws with narrow majorities. The bill also mandates automatic Senate votes on Supreme Court nominees if their nominations linger in committee for over 180 days.
Wyden&#8217;s proposal includes expanding federal judicial circuits from 13 to 15, adding more than 100 district court judges and over 60 appellate-level judges. The bill also introduces stringent financial disclosure requirements for justices, including annual IRS audits and public release of tax filings.

Harris: Vice President&#8217;s Favorability Hits Record High, But Faces Setback On This Key Election</a>
Despite its ambitious scope, the bill faces significant hurdles, as Republicans generally oppose efforts to overhaul the court. Other Democratic proposals for Supreme Court reform have also faced resistance, highlighting the challenging path ahead for Wyden&#8217;s legislation.
Why It Matters: Wyden&#8217;s proposal comes amid a backdrop of heightened scrutiny and controversy surrounding the Supreme Court. In July, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) announced her intention to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39587204/aoc-says-she-will-file-articles-of-impeachment-against-supreme-court-justices-after-trump-immunity-r">file impeachment articles </a>against at least one Supreme Court justice. This followed the top court's ruling to grant former President Donald Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/07/39577351/trump-granted-partial-immunity-by-supreme-court-ruling-says-the-president-is-not-above-the-law-d">partial immunity from felony charges</a> related to his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results.
Additionally, in September, a U.S. District Judge temporarily blocked the Biden administration&#8217;s latest <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/09/40741553/us-judge-temporarily-blocks-bidens-latest-student-loan-relief-plan-why-it-matters">student debt relief </a>plan, following a lawsuit by seven Republican-led states. This ruling has added to the ongoing debate over the judiciary&#8217;s role in shaping national policy. 
Moreover, the Supreme Court recently<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/06/39555003/supreme-court-overturns-chevron-ruling-biden-administration-warns-of-convulsive-shock"> overturned the Chevron doctrin</a>e, a 40-year-old decision that required judges to defer to agencies&#8217; reasonable interpretations of congressional statutes. This significant change allows judges to decide on laws that are considered ambiguous, further intensifying the debate over judicial power.

Costco, Scholastic And 3 Stocks To Watch Heading Into Friday

Elon Musk&#8216;s SpaceX said on Thursday that its Starlink <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40826886/t-mobile-sends-first-wireless-emergency-alert-via-spacexs-starlink-satellites-in-space">satellite internet service</a> is providing connectivity to over 4 million people around the globe.
What Happened: The company made the announcement via a post on social media platform X, adding that the 4 million Starlink customers are spread across over 100 countries, territories, and other markets.
Starlink announced that it is connecting over 3 million customers merely a few months back on May 20, implying that the segment added a million customers in just 4 months. 
Starlink first hit a million subscribers in December 2022 after starting limited beta internet service in 2020.

Why It Matters: Starlink uses a constellation of satellites in low-Earth orbit to provide connectivity to customers <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41023552/hawaiin-airlines-airbus-planes-take-flight-with-starlink-internet-service-at-no-additional-cost-to-c">including airlines</a>.

Of these, over 6000 are working, according to data kept by astronomer Jonathan McDowell. 
Earlier on Thursday, Air France said that it will start rolling out onboard Wi-Fi service in all its aircraft with Starlink from 2025. 
&#8220;During the flight, customers will be able to easily stay in touch with friends and family, follow all the world&#8217;s news live, play video games online, and of course stream TV, films, and series,&#8221; the airline company said. &#8220;The service will be accessible from smartphones, digital tablets, and laptops, and each customer will be able to connect several devices simultaneously.&#8221;
