The&nbsp;Department of Telecommunications&nbsp;(DoT) directed&nbsp;Elon Musk&#39;s&nbsp;Starlink&nbsp;and&nbsp;Jeff Bezos&#39;&nbsp;Amazon&nbsp;to provide details on security compliance as they look to offer satellite communication services in the Indian market.
What Happened: The DoT has asked both Starlink and Amazon to submit security-related compliances with their applications for offering satellite communications services in the country, according to an Economic Times report. The specifics of the requested compliances have not been disclosed.
The directive comes amid rising concerns about the security of satellite internet services. Both Starlink, a subsidiary of Musk&#39;s&nbsp;SpaceX, and Amazon, with its&nbsp;Project Kuiper, are significant players in this sector.

The report, citing officials aware of the matter, said letters were recently sent to both US-based firms, and the department is currently awaiting their responses. The government will wait a bit longer for their replies and may send a reminder, but the applications will not be processed until they comply with all the security conditions, the report added.
So far,&nbsp;Bharti Airtel-backed&nbsp;Eutelsat OneWeb&nbsp;and&nbsp;Reliance Jio&rsquo;s joint venture with Luxembourg-based satellite provider SES have received approval to provide satcom services in India.
This directive from the DoT comes in the backdrop of Starlink and Amazon&#39;s recent efforts to establish their satellite communication services in India. Both companies had reportedly also approached the&nbsp;Telecom Regulatory Authority of India&nbsp;(TRAI) seeking a&nbsp;<a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41566545/elon-musk-and-jeff-bezos-satcom-firms-push-for-lower-spectrum-charges-in-india-foray-report">decrease in spectrum charges</a>&nbsp;to 1% of annual revenues.&nbsp;
The international firms reportedly see reduced spectrum charges as a pathway for cost-effective satellite services to Indian consumers and businesses, especially those in underserved areas.
The firms&#39; request followed the Indian government&rsquo;s&nbsp;<a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41349626/much-appreciated-elon-musk-cheers-indias-move-to-allocate-satellite-spectrum">decision not to auction the spectrum</a>&nbsp;for satellite services, a move that both Starlink and&nbsp;Amazon welcomed.

India Asks Elon Musk's Starlink And Jeff Bezos' Amazon For Security Assurances As They Look To Enter Bids For SATCOM Services: Report

Zoox co-founder Jesse Levinson on Wednesday dismissed the possibility of Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) deploying autonomous vehicles without safety drivers in California next year, alleging that the EV giant lacks a technology that works. 
What Happened: Tesla is faced with a lot of regulatory hurdles that they haven&#8217;t even started trying to climb yet, Levinson <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwFzIm-M6TU">said</a> at TechCrunch Disrupt 2024 event in San Francisco. But the fundamental problem, he said, is that Tesla doesn&#8217;t have a &#8220;technology that worked.&#8221;
&#8220;By works, I want to differentiate between a driver assistance system that drives most the time except when it doesn&#8217;t and then you have to take over versus a system that&#8217;s so reliable and robust that you don&#8217;t need a person in it,&#8221; Levinson said.
Levinson said that he drives a Tesla and uses its full self-driving (FSD) driver assistance system &#8220;every couple of weeks.&#8221; While the system is &#8220;impressive,&#8221; it is also a bit &#8220;stressful&#8221;, he said.
 &#8220;&#8230;usually it does the right thing and then it sort of lulls you into this false sense of complacency and then it does the wrong thing. You&#8217;re like &#8220;oh my god.&#8221; They are about 100 times less safe than a human,&#8221; Levinson said while also pinning it down to the company&#8217;s use of just cameras and AI to enable self-driving. 
&#8220;&#8230;you really do need significantly more hardware than Tesla is putting in the vehicles to build a robotaxi that&#8217;s not just as safe but especially safer than a human,&#8221; he opined while adding that there is a need for sensor data despite advancements in AI to protect against camera malfunctions and ensure fully safe rides. 
Musk Responds: Tesla CEO Elon Musk, however, is optimistic that FSD technology can ensure full vehicle autonomy with future versions of the software. 
Musk hit back at Levinson on Wednesday for his comments on the company&#8217;s capability to deploy autonomous vehicles. 
&#8220;If he hadn't gotten bailed out by Amazon, his company would be dead already,&#8221; Musk wrote on social media platform X, referring to Amazon.com&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) acquisition of the robotaxi company in 2020 for over $1.2 billion.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Why It Matters: During Tesla&#8217;s third-quarter earnings call earlier this month, Musk said that the company expects to start a ride-hail service in Texas and California starting next year,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41484511/palo-alto-may-open-streets-to-tesla-robotaxis-but-california-regulators-will-decide-fate" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">subject to regulatory approval</a>.
However, the vehicles might not all operate as driverless robotaxis but with a driver as some states demand it until the company touches certain milestones in terms of miles and hours driven, the company then said.
However, Musk expressed confidence about the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/10/41279865/elon-musk-may-unveil-teslas-robotaxi-but-consumers-respond-with-ehhh-new-study-reveals-skepticism-ne" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">company operating driverless paid rides sometime next year.</a>
Tesla also unveiled a no-pedal, no-steering wheel dedicated robotaxi product earlier this month called the Cybercab. Cybercab, Musk then said, will enter production ‘before 2027' and will be priced below $30,000. Until then, Tesla&#8217;s ride-hail fleet will be composed of the company's Model 3 and Model Y.
Zoox, meanwhile, will launch its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/05/38785340/nhtsa-opens-probe-into-amazons-500-zoox-vehicles-over-sudden-braking-concerns">custom-built robotaxi with no pedals or steering wheel </a>in San Francisco and Las Vegas in the coming weeks, Levinson said on Wednesday. The company will start taking members of the public for rides in the vehicle starting next year, he added.

Citadel LLC CEO Ken Griffin predicted that Donald Trump would reclaim the U.S. presidency during the Future Investment Initiative summit in Saudi Arabia.
What Happened: Griffin, a significant Republican donor, expressed confidence in Trump&#8217;s victory, Fortune <a href="https://fortune.com/2024/10/30/ken-griffin-citadel-donald-trump-presidential-election-politics/">reported</a> on Wednesday. Despite his previous instances of financial support for the GOP, Griffin has not directly funded Trump&#8217;s campaign, instead focusing on primary candidates, particularly in open primaries
"The expectation today is that Donald Trump will win the White House in just a few days; we will know shortly," Griffin said.

Griffin also commented on market volatility, suggesting that the election&#8217;s conclusion would reduce uncertainty, benefiting asset prices. 
"We're at that moment of peak uncertainty. It is a race that Trump is favored to win, but it is almost a coin toss,&#8221; he added. 
Why It Matters: The 2024 presidential election is shaping up to be a closely contested race between Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. Recent betting odds <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports-betting/24/10/41589659/trump-vs-harris-state-by-state-2024-election-betting-odds-which-candidate-is-favored-to-wi">indicate a tight competition</a>, with prediction markets favoring Trump. 
This follows a tumultuous period, including a tragic incident at a Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania in July, where a shooting resulted in casualties. Billionaires like Griffin and Elon Musk donated<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/07/39860934/billionaires-ken-griffith-and-elon-musk-step-up-big-to-donate-100-000-to-victims-of-trump-rally-"> $100,000 to the victims</a>.

GOP Megadonor Ken Griffin Says 'Expectation Today Is That Donald Trump Will Win The White House'

Zev Fima has increased the price target for Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) to $650 per share. This comes despite a decline in the company&#8217;s stock during after-hours trading. Fima highlighted the robust third-quarter results, with revenue guidance for the current quarter surpassing expectations.
What Happened: At the time of writing, Meta was sliding down by 3.18% and was trading at $573 during the after-hours market, as per <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a> after closing at $591.80 on Wednesday.
Fima&#8217;s new price target indicates a potential upside of over 9.5% from Wednesday&#8217;s closing price, which was slightly below its record-high close earlier in October. Despite this positive outlook, Fima maintained a &#8220;2&#8221; rating on the stock, suggesting short-term profit-taking opportunities, CNBC <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/10/30/meta-drop-tells-the-wrong-story-on-earnings-were-boosting-our-price-target.html">reported</a> Thursday.
&#8220;Don't let the after-hours stock action fool you, Meta Platforms delivered one heck of a strong third quarter and a current quarter revenue guide above expectations,&#8221; he wrote.
Fima praised Meta for its dominance in targeted advertising and strong user engagement, which fosters a beneficial cycle between users and content creators. The company&#8217;s significant scale supports its growth in artificial intelligence, the metaverse, and virtual reality projects. Fima also commended management&#8217;s focus on cost control.
Despite the after-hours stock dip, Fima urged investors to focus on the strong third-quarter performance, including revenue surpassing expectations and operating margin expansion. The analyst believes long-term investors will benefit from patience as the company&#8217;s strategic investments continue to pay off.

The company also reported adjusted earnings of $6.03 per share, surpassing expectations of $5.25 per share.

According to new survey data from Redfin, support for rent control measures spans the political spectrum. 82% of Americans favor caps on landlord rent increases. The findings come as the Biden administration pushes for federal rent control legislation. Under the proposal, landlords who own 50 or more units would be required to limit annual rent hikes to 5% or risk losing federal tax benefits. This cap would be in effect for two years and aims to reduce housing instability, especially in light of recent rent spikes that have exacerbated homelessness in some areas.

</ul>
The September survey of 1,802 adults found broad backing for rent caps across party lines, with 86% of Democrats and 79% of Republicans supporting such measures. The survey revealed similar levels of support between renters (86%) and homeowners (78%).
The results emerge as the White House promotes a federal policy to limit annual rent increases to 5% nationwide. Currently, only seven states and Washington, D.C., maintain rent control policies.
California is an example of the ongoing debate around rent restrictions. The state&#8217;s existing Tenant Protection Act caps annual increases at 5% plus inflation. A November ballot measure would expand local authority to impose stricter limits.
However, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/08/40101676/nearly-50-economists-were-asked-how-they-feel-about-president-bidens-5-rent-cap-this-is-what-the">economists warn of potential unintended consequences</a>. &#8220;Rent control sounds appealing for renters in theory because it limits price increases and saves money in the short term, but it eventually worsens rental affordability because it exacerbates the supply shortage,&#8221; Chen Zhao, Redfin&#8217;s economic research lead, said in the report.
Trending: These five entrepreneurs are worth $223 billion –<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/arrived-homes-private-credit-fund"> they all believe in one platform that offers a 7-9% target yield with monthly dividends</a>
Research issued by the Urban Institute in September supports the Redfin assessment. Their analysis indicates that while rent stabilization increases the number of units affordable to low-income residents, it typically reduces the overall rental supply. Landlords may convert properties to other uses or avoid entering controlled markets entirely.
"If rent increases are capped below the amount developers would need to make a profit, they have little incentive to build more apartments and homes," Zhao said in the Redfin report. "The best way to make rentals more affordable is to build more units."

The administration&#8217;s proposal targets large corporate landlords, defined as those owning more than 50 units. By complying with rent caps, these property owners would maintain access to tax depreciation benefits.
Implementation challenges loom large. The Urban Institute identified several key considerations, including enforcement mechanisms and preventing pre-implementation rent spikes. Evidence from Oregon suggests landlords may raise rents substantially before controls take effect.
The proposal&#8217;s success may depend on balancing tenant protections with market incentives. While public sentiment strongly favors controls, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/07/39837809/bidens-rent-control-proposal-sparks-backlash-from-industry-executives-rent-control-is-a-counter-prod">economic implications suggest that it could exacerbate the problem it aims to fix</a>.
This has been updated by editor to clarify Biden&#8217;s federal rent control legislation is still currently a proposal.

Shytoshi Kusama, the leader of the Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/shib/usd">SHIB</a>) ecosystem, expressed frustration over the coin not getting due respect despite impressive gains over the years.
What Happened: Kusama was responding to an X post by Nick Tomaino, founder of cryptocurrency-focused fund 1confirmation, who didn&#8217;t include Shiba Inu on his list of most impactful cryptocurrency projects to date.
&#8220;Again, the disrespect&#8230; smh #SHIB,&#8221; an irritated Kusama said. 
When pointed out by a fellow SHIB community member that unless the coin rises above $0.01, it won&#8217;t garner any respect and will remain a &#8220;chump change meme.&#8221;

Kusama strongly disagreed, stating that SHIB is one of the top cryptocurrencies by market capitalization and is far from a chump change.
&#8220;Those who are wise give us respect. &#8220;Crypto Twitter&#8221; just hasn&#8217;t DYOR,&#8221; Kusama argued.

SpaceX&#8216;s Falcon 9 rocket launched the company&#8217;s 200th Starlink mission to low Earth orbit on Wednesday, the company said in a post on social media platform X.
What Happened: Falcon 9 launched 23 Starlink satellites into space from Florida on Wednesday evening, marking the company&#8217;s 200th Starlink mission.
Starlink, a segment of SpaceX, provides low-latency connectivity to over 4 million people around the globe with the help of a network of satellites in orbit. Early in September, the company said that it had launched over 7,000 Starlink satellites into space.
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk congratulated the SpaceX team for the successful flight.
