Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI,) the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI,) and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) have traced a video falsely portraying voter fraud in Georgia back to Russian influence actors, days ahead of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election">2024 election</a>.
What Happened: A 20-second video emerged on X, formerly known as Twitter, Thursday afternoon, showing a man claiming to be a Haitian immigrant.
In the clip, he discussed his intention to vote multiple times in two Georgia counties for Vice President and Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris.
On Friday, the U.S. intelligence agencies identified this video as a fraudulent creation of Russian influence actors.

&#8220;This Russian activity is part of Moscow's broader effort to raise unfounded questions about the integrity of the U.S. election and stoke divisions among Americans,&#8221; the joint statement by the agencies read.
Previously, Georgia Secretary of State&nbsp;Brad Raffensperger&nbsp;dismissed the video as &#8220;obviously fake&#8221; and a likely product of Russian trolls &#8220;attempting&nbsp;to sow discord and chaos&nbsp;on the eve of the&nbsp;election,&#8221; <a href="https://apnews.com/article/fbi-russia-georgia-fraud-disinformation-eebea4ab200682ccd3e97fb9f164e6ca">reported</a> the Associated Press. 
Why It Matters: This incident is not an isolated one. It is part of a larger pattern of foreign interference in U.S. elections.
In September, President Joe Biden accused <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/09/40713107/biden-to-accuse-russia-of-2024-election-interference-expert-says-voting-process-tough-to-tamper-with">Russia of seeking to interfere</a> with the 2024 election. Later that month, Microsoft Corp. vice chair and president, Brad Smith, warned of potential <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/09/40931276/this-has-also-become-an-election-of-iran-vs-trump-and-russia-vs-harris-microsoft-president-brad-smit">foreign interference</a> in the upcoming election.
Last month, the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41417457/us-offers-10m-reward-for-intel-on-russian-firm-interfering-in-elections">U.S. Department of State offered a $10 million reward</a>&nbsp;for information on any foreign person or entity interfering in the 2024 U.S. presidential election.
Around the same time,&nbsp;Microsoft further reported&nbsp;that Russia, Iran, and China were <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/10/41496316/microsoft-reports-russia-iran-china-stepping-up-efforts-to-influence-2024-election-voters-candid">stepping up their attempts</a> to influence the outcome of the 2024 presidential election.
Previously, it was also reported that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41541512/iranian-hackers-leak-stolen-emails-from-trumps-2024-campaign-ahead-of-nov-5-election-report">Iranian hackers leaked stolen emails</a> from Republican nominee Donald Trump's presidential campaign to a Democratic political operative and independent journalists.

FBI Uncovers Russian-Backed Scheme To Sway 2024 Election And 'Stoke Divisions Among Americans' With Fake Voter Fraud Video In Georgia

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) will admit they need Lidar to enable autonomous driving &#8220;at some point, &#8221; according to Ross Gerber, CEO of Gerber Kawasaki Wealth and Investment Management.
What Happened: &#8220;At some point they will admit they need LiDAR,&#8221; Gerber wrote on social media platform X, referring to the EV giant&#8217;s intent of enabling autonomous driving with cameras and artificial intelligence alone.
Lidar, short for Light Detection and Ranging, is a remote sensing technology that uses laser light to measure distances and create detailed three-dimensional representations of surfaces and objects.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has previously criticized Lidar, terming it a crutch. None of the company&#8217;s sold vehicles have lidars. In 2022, the company also removed ultrasonic sensors from its vehicles to rely solely on cameras.
&#8220;Did my best to warn people that LiDAR isn't optimal for cars. Roads are designed for biological neural nets &amp; eyes, so digital neural nets &amp; cameras will work best,&#8221; Musk said in Aug. 2023.

Gerber is not alone in feeling Tesla needs more hardware to enable autonomous driving. 
"…you really do need significantly more hardware than Tesla is putting in the vehicles to build a robotaxi that's not just as safe but especially safer than a human," Zoox&nbsp;co-founder&nbsp;Jesse Levinson opined earlier this week while adding that there is a need for sensor data despite advancements in AI to protect against camera malfunctions and ensure fully safe rides.
Alphabet Inc.&#8217;s autonomous ride-hail company Waymo continues to use Lidar in its robotaxis. However, proponents of Tesla&#8217;s camera-only technology, such as Ark Invest, deem it to be an expensive choice.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41676465/tesla-can-make-cybercab-for-the-same-money-it-takes-waymo-to-install-lidar-sensors-on-its-robotaxi-s">Ark Invest analyst</a> Brett Winton, Tesla can make its dedicated robotaxi offering &#8211; the Cybercab &#8211; at almost the same cost as it takes Waymo to install Lidar on its vehicles.
Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi, meanwhile, believes both Waymo and Tesla will achieve autonomy at scale despite differences in approach. While Waymo's tech reduces the effort on the software with added hardware such as lidar and sensors, Tesla's model puts added weight on the software, he said.
"I think Elon eventually will get to viable scale but for the next 5 years I bet on Waymo," <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41424058/uber-ceo-dara-khosrowshahi-finds-elon-musks-robotaxi-vision-pretty-compelling-says-tesla-will-eventu">he said in an interview</a> last month.
Why It Matters:&nbsp;During Tesla's third-quarter earnings call last month, Musk said that the company expects to start an autonomous 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 initially 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 that the <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 will begin offering driverless paid rides sometime next year.</a>
Tesla also unveiled a no-pedal, no-steering wheel <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41284847/tesla-reveals-two-seater-cybercab-that-drives-itself">dedicated robotaxi product last month called the Cybercab</a>. Cybercab, Musk then said, will enter production &#8220;before 2027&#8221; and will be priced below $30,000.
Until then, Tesla's ride-hail fleet will be composed of the company&#8217;s Model 3 and Model Y with its full self-driving (FSD) driver assistance technology.
FSD currently requires active river supervision. However, Musk and Tesla are optimistic that it will enable vehicle autonomy with future versions of the software.

Tesla Investor Says EV Giant Will 'Admit' It Needs Lidar Despite Elon Musk Calling It A Crutch

Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk&#8217;s social media platform X, formerly Twitter, is reportedly undergoing another round of layoffs.
What Happened: X is experiencing a fresh wave of layoffs with the engineering department said to be the most affected, <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2024/11/1/24285819/elon-musks-x-is-laying-off-employees-again">reported</a> The Verge on Friday, citing two insider sources and posts on the anonymous workplace forum Blind.
However, the exact number of job cuts is yet to be determined.
The layoffs followed an unusual request made to employees two months prior when staff members were asked to submit a one-page summary detailing their contributions to the company.
It remains uncertain whether these summaries influenced the recent job cuts.
Subscribe to the&nbsp;<a href="https://bztechtrends.beehiiv.com/subscribe" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Tech Trends newsletter</a>&nbsp;to get all the latest tech developments delivered to your inbox.
Why It Matters: After acquiring Twitter for $44 billion in October 2022, Musk <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/09/34429260/when-elon-musk-started-firing-twitter-staff-everybody-said-thats-enough-but">controversially fired 85% of the staff</a>. Currently, the value of Musk&#8217;s rebranded social media platform has been a point of concern.
Fidelity, one of the companies that helped Musk acquire the platform, last month <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41142828/elon-musk-bought-x-for-44b-now-fidelity-values-social-media-network-below-10b">valued the social media network</a> below $10 billion, a significant drop from the price Musk paid for it.
Earlier this year, Musk&#8217;s other venture, Tesla, also saw significant layoffs. The electric vehicle manufacturer reduced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/06/39457749/tesla-leads-2024-us-tech-layoffs-so-far-followed-by-dell-cisco-xerox-paypal-microsoft">its workforce by at least 14%</a>.

Elon Musk's X Reportedly Hit With New Wave Of Layoffs: Engineering Department Faces Major Cuts Amid Uncertain Future

Donald Trump&nbsp;supported decentralized finance protocol&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40905315/donald-trumps-new-crypto-project-world-liberty-financial-everything-you-need-to-know" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">World Liberty Financial</a> is reportedly marketing its $300 million offering of tokens primarily offshore.
What Happened: World Liberty currently plans to sell only $30 million of tokens in the U.S., according <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-11-01/trump-s-world-liberty-to-mainly-sell-digital-tokens-to-investors-outside-the-us">to</a> a Bloomberg report, which cited a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC.)
Once it touches the $30 million threshold, World Liberty will terminate the U.S. offering despite having tokens worth about $288.5 million available for sale, the report said, noting that most token issuances are done offshore due to heavy scrutiny in the U.S.
World Liberty is being promoted by Trump and his sons. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41303639/donald-trump-says-his-crypto-project-world-liberty-financial-will-start-selling-tokens-on-">Since Oct. 15</a>, it has raised about $2.7 million by selling tokens to 348 U.S. investors, according to the filing.
Why It Matters: World Liberty is based in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41341588/donald-trumps-world-liberty-financial-token-sales-hit-220m-in-first-hour-website-faces-mul">Wilmington, Delaware</a>. In the filing with the SEC, Donald Trump, Donald (Jr) Trump, Eric Trump, Steven Witkoff, Axiom Management Group, WC DigitalFi LLC, and DT Marks DEFI LLC are listed as promoters of the project. 
&#8220;This person is included for informational purposes and does not reflect a determination that such person is a &#8220;promoter&#8221; as defined under Rule 405 of the Securities Act,&#8221; the filing said. 
Puerto Rico-based Axiom Management Group owners Zachary Folkman and Chase Herro, meanwhile, are listed as executive officers and directors of the project.

Trump's World Liberty Crypto Project Targets Offshore Markets, Limits US Token Offering To Just $30M

Elon Musk on Friday said that he would like former congressman from Texas Ron Paul to be on the Department of Government Efficiency, a department he intends to be part of if former President Donald Trump reclaims the White House in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election">upcoming elections</a>.
What Happened: &#8220;Would be great to have Ron Paul as part of the Department of Government Efficiency!,&#8221; Musk wrote on social media platform X.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Musk&#8217;s comment comes on the heels of Paul expressing his willingness to help Musk cut government spending in an interview with podcaster David Gornoski. However, the former member of the U.S. House of Representatives said that he wouldn&#8217;t want an official position.
Paul has previously run twice for the Republican presidential nomination. 
Why It Matters: Musk officially endorsed Trump in July after a shooting incident at a rally in Pennsylvania. The billionaire also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41197236/elon-musk-and-trump-address-thousands-at-site-of-failed-assassination-attempt-take-aim-at-bidens-lea">attended a Trump campaign event in Pennsylvania</a> in October and termed the election a "must-win situation" for Trump.
Trump, meanwhile, has expressed his intent to set up a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/09/40739165/trump-plans-to-appoint-elon-musk-to-government-efficiency-commission-if-elected-tesla-ceo-says-hell" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">government efficiency commission</a>&nbsp;led by Musk if elected President. The commission will be tasked with conducting a complete financial and performance audit of the federal government and recommending reforms, Trump said in September.
Musk has previously said that the commission will also be aimed at removing what he deems as excess regulation in a bid to kickstart key projects such as building high-speed rail in the country.
Musk is actively gathering votes for Trump both online and offline. He founded a super PAC called America PAC to which he has so far given <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41417390/elon-musks-pro-trump-super-pac-to-give-1m-every-day-to-people-in-swing-states-for-signing-his-petiti">over $100 million</a> in a bid to support Trump&#8217;s presidential campaign, cementing him as a key figure in this year&#8217;s election.

Elon Musk Says 'Would Be Great To Have' Former Congressman And Fed Critic Ron Paul In 'Department Of Government Efficiency' If Trump Wins

Kamala Harris&#8216;s campaign and Democratic Party officials &#8220;fully expect&#8221; a premature victory declaration by Donald Trump in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election">upcoming election</a> and are reportedly preparing for a swift response.
What Happened: Democrats are ready&nbsp;to flood social media and&nbsp;television with calls for patience and calm during the vote-counting process, reported Reuters.
This is in response to Trump&#8217;s statement expressing his intention&nbsp;to declare victory on Election&nbsp;Day, despite warnings from election experts that the final result could take several days, especially if vote recounts are demanded in key areas.

&#8220;We are sadly ready if&nbsp;he does and, if we&nbsp;know that he is actually&nbsp;manipulating the press and attempting&nbsp;to manipulate the consensus of&nbsp;the American people &#8230; we&nbsp;are prepared to respond,&#8221; Harris&nbsp;stated in a Wednesday interview with ABC.
Democratic Party and campaign officials plan to wage their initial fight against any premature Trump victory claim&nbsp;in the court of public&nbsp;opinion, demanding&nbsp;that all votes be counted&nbsp;before victories are declared.
&#8220;As soon as he (Trump) falsely declares victory, we&#8217;re ready to get up on TV and provide the truth and tap a broad network of people who can use their influence to push back,&#8221; a senior Democratic National Committee official stated in an interview.
Why It Matters: In 2020, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/08/33545892/trump-knew-he-lost-2020-election-to-biden-says-former-ag-barr-it-would-not-come-out-very-well-for-hi">Trump declared victory</a> early the morning after Election Day, three days before networks officially called the race. Though he ultimately lost to Joe Biden, he has continued to falsely claim the election was stolen through widespread fraud.
Meanwhile, the 2024 U.S. presidential race has been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/41687739/nate-silver-says-kamala-harris-may-need-backup-plans-if-the-blue-wal-is-split-but-sees-the">described as &#8220;a near coin flip,&#8221;</a> with Trump narrowly leading Harris, said American statistician and writer&nbsp;Nate Silver on Friday.
Previously, it was reported that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41576378/donald-trumps-election-odds-improve-to-66-after-viral-joe-rogan-podcast-and-controversial-">Trump&#8217;s election odds have improved</a> to 66% after a viral Joe Rogan podcast and a controversial Madison Square Garden rally, as per&nbsp;Polymarket odds.
However, former GOP strategist Stuart Stevens has forecasted a decisive victory for Harris, predicting her to win by an even larger margin than in 2020.
As the U.S. heads into the elections, economists warn that a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/11/41695926/a-republican-sweep-might-be-the-most-inflationary-election-outcome-economists-warn">Republican victory could significantly</a> increase inflationary pressures, primarily from higher tariffs, a swelling budget deficit, and restricted immigration policies.

Kamala Harris 'Ready' If Trump Decides To 'Falsely' Declare Victory: 'We Are Prepared To Respond'

First-time homebuyers are gaining ground in unexpected territory, with Rhode Island leading a wave of Northeastern and Midwestern states where new buyers are claiming a growing share of home sales.
According to data issued by Freddie Mac initially cited by Realtor.com, Rhode Island topped the nation with a 14.3% increase in first-time buyer market share from 2019 through 2024, despite the state&#8217;s median listing price of $569,950 sitting well above the national average of $425,000.

</ul>
The trend extends throughout the region, with Iowa, Nebraska, Wisconsin, and Connecticut all seeing first-time buyer shares climb by more than 10% over the same period.
The shift comes as first-time buyers now account for more than half of conventional conforming mortgages nationwide, up from 20% in 2004, according to Freddie Mac&#8217;s latest market outlook report.
The surge in new buyers appears strongest in areas with moderate or slower overall sales activity. Meanwhile, popular retirement destinations like Arizona and Florida saw smaller gains in first-time buyer share, likely due to competition from older Americans moving to these regions.
Only two states bucked the trend entirely, with Louisiana and North Dakota seeing slight declines in first-time buyer share over the past five years.

The broader picture remains challenging for new buyers. When including cash sales and unconventional loans, first-time buyers made up just 26% of all existing home sales last month, according to the National Association of Realtors — matching historic lows seen in recent months.

Entry-level home prices have grown 63% more than high-end home prices since 2000, according to Freddie Mac&#8217;s analysis. The supply crunch is equally severe, with approximately 30 renter households competing for each available home for sale, up from fewer than 10 in 2006.
&#8220;Less affordable housing is acutely felt by those seeking to buy their first homes, especially those without substantial wealth at their disposal,&#8221; Freddie Mac&#8217;s report says.

Data from Freddie Mac shows that young adult renters are earning more than in previous years, with three million renter households between ages 25 and 44 now earning at least $75,000 annually in inflation-adjusted terms.
However, economic headwinds are mounting for those potential buyers. The unemployment rate for renters has climbed from 5% to over 6% since 2023 while remaining stable for homeowners. It's a disparity that could impact future first-time buyer activity, as most future buyers are currently renting.
Freddie Mac is responding to the challenges. In the second quarter of this year alone, the organization financed roughly 200,000 primary home purchases, with first-time buyers accounting for 53% of the transactions. The agency has also launched a new platform to help potential buyers connect with down payment assistance programs through their lenders.
The findings come as the housing market grapples with high mortgage rates and tight inventory, creating <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/07/39614880/now-owning-a-house-in-us-is-more-challenging-than-ever-as-affordability-drops-to-">some of the toughest conditions on record for aspiring homeowners</a>.

The Company subsequently submitted a plan to regain compliance with the Rule (the "Compliance Plan").
On October 29, 2024, the Company received written notice from the Staff (the "November Notice"), stating that the Compliance Plan was not accepted as the Company had provided insufficient evidence to demonstrate that it can effect the Compliance Plan by its 36-month expiration date of December 6, 2024, at which time the Company's securities will be delisted from Nasdaq in accordance with IM-5101-2, irrespective of the Company's progress or lack thereof toward regaining compliance with the Rule, and that the Staff had determined to initiate procedures to delist the Company's warrants (and, as a result of the warrants' inclusion therein, the Company's units) from Nasdaq due to the Company's non-compliance.
Pursuant to the Notice, unless the Company requests a hearing to appeal this determination by November 5, 2024, the Company's warrants and units will be suspended at the opening of business on November 5, 2024, and a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the SEC, which will remove the Company's warrants and units from listing and registration on Nasdaq (the "Warrant/Unit Delisting"). The Company does not intend to request a hearing. The Warrant/Unit Delisting does not affect the listing or trading of the Company's Class A ordinary shares on the&nbsp;Nasdaq Global Market, other than those contained within the units.
