EV giant Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) is now offering discounts of up to $4000 on select inventory Model Y and Model 3 vehicles in the U.S. as it looks to avert recording its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/24/10/41166723/how-many-evs-has-tesla-delivered-produced-each-quarter-a-look-at-the-results-since-2019">first-ever decline in annual deliveries.</a>
What Happened: An inventory 2024 Model Y Long Range rear-wheel drive is now priced at $41,390 on Tesla&#8217;s website, down from its original starting price of $44,990.
The starting price on a Model 3 Long Range rear-wheel drive variant, meanwhile, is $40,010, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38285714/no-more-inventory-discounts-on-tesla-cars-as-ceo-elon-musk-says-sales-system-has-turned-complex-and">down from its original price</a> of $43,490. 
Why It Matters: Tesla delivered 462,890 vehicles&nbsp;in the third quarter, up 6.4% from a year earlier, but still short of estimates. 
The company is currently at risk of reporting its first-ever decline in annual deliveries, particularly after deliveries fell 8.5% year-on-year in the first quarter and 4.8% in the second quarter.
For the full-year 2023, Tesla delivered 1,808,581 vehicles. To mark a growth over last year, the company has to deliver at least 514,926 vehicles in the three months through the end of December.
Price Action: Tesla stock closed 0.84% lower on Monday, at $218.85. Year-to-date, the EV giant&#8217;s shares are down 11.90%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

The Federal Trade Commission has enforced a new rule that prohibits the sale or purchase of fake reviews, in a move to maintain the integrity of online reviews and testimonials. The rule, which took effect on Monday, will enable the FTC to impose civil penalties on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41393515/ftc-click-to-cancel-rule-makes-it-easy-to-end-subscriptions-what-it-means-for-netflix-planet-fitness">those who knowingly breach it</a>.
What Happened: The FTC&#8217;s new rule, <a href="https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2024/08/federal-trade-commission-announces-final-rule-banning-fake-reviews-testimonials">announced</a> in August, aims to curb the proliferation of fake reviews and testimonials that mislead consumers and unfairly disadvantage honest competitors. 
The rule specifically targets reviews attributed to non-existent individuals, those generated by artificial intelligence, or those that misrepresent the reviewer&#8217;s experience.
Businesses are also prohibited from creating or selling fake reviews. Those found to be in violation, including businesses that knowingly purchase fake reviews or use intimidation tactics, will face penalties.
&#8220;As of today, @FTC&#8217;s final rule banning fake online reviews and testimonials has come into effect,&#8221; wrote FTC Chair Lina Khan in a post on X.

Why It Matters: This new rule is part of a series of initiatives led by Khan to ensure fair and transparent business practices. Earlier in September, Khan <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/41019443/ftc-chair-lina-khan-warns-airlines-may-exploit-ai-for-price-discrimination-raising-concerns-over">raised concerns</a> about the potential misuse of AI by airlines to charge higher prices for vulnerable travelers.

The FTC, under Khan&#8217;s leadership, is also under pressure to block the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/10/41277809/ftc-faces-pressure-to-block-novo-nordisk-catalent-merger-over-antitrust-fears">proposed $16.5 billion acquisition</a> of Catalent Inc by Novo Nordisk A/S due to antitrust concerns.

FTC Rule To Protect Consumers From Fake Reviews, AI-Generated Testimonials Comes Into Effect: What You Need To Know

Walt Disney Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) has ceased allowing customers to subscribe to Hulu and Disney+ via Apple Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) App Store, thereby avoiding the iPhone maker&#8217;s in-app purchase fees.
What Happened: The entertainment giant is no longer allowing new or returning subscribers to register and pay for these services through&nbsp;the App Store. However, this change will not impact existing subscribers who are billed through Apple.
Disney is now guiding customers to its websites to view all plans and directly&nbsp;sign up for a subscription. This strategy enables Disney to bypass the&nbsp;15% to 30% fee&nbsp;that Apple imposes for each transaction made via in-app purchases.
See Also:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41442330/jeff-bezos-would-have-named-amazon-as-relentless-but-then-someone-said-it-sounded-sinister-hes-since?itm_source=parsely-api" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jeff Bezos Would Have Named Amazon As &#8216;Relentless&#8217; But Then Someone Said It Sounded Sinister — He&#8217;s Since Built A Business Empire That Knows No Limits</a>
This move is in line with Disney&#8217;s latest price increases that came&nbsp;into effect on Oct. 17.&nbsp;The cost of Disney+ plans rose&nbsp;by $2, while Hulu with&nbsp;ads and without ads experienced a $2 and $1 increase, respectively.
The removal of in-app purchase fees seems to be a part of Disney&#8217;s plan to improving streaming revenue, along with price hikes and&nbsp;a recent crackdown on password&nbsp;sharing.
In August, Disney released its financial results for the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/08/40218880/disneys-q3-earnings-revenue-and-eps-beat-streaming-business-turns-profitable-strong-espn-revenue-bo">third quarter of fiscal 2024</a>. For the first time, Disney&#8217;s streaming segment—which includes Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+—achieved profitability, one quarter ahead of projections.
The streaming division reported an operating profit of $47 million, a notable turnaround from a $512 million loss in the same period last year.
However, when excluding ESPN+, the direct-to-consumer streaming unit still recorded a $19 million loss. Meanwhile, revenue from Disney's traditional TV networks fell by 7%.

Why It Matters: Disney's move to halt subscription sign-ups for Hulu and Disney+ via Apple's App Store reflects a broader trend of tech companies pushing back against Apple's in-app purchase policies.
Earlier this year, in January, the Supreme Court gave a decision that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/01/36646078/supreme-court-decision-shakes-up-apples-app-store-opens-door-for-cheaper-app-purchases">rejected Apple&#8217;s appeal</a> in an antitrust lawsuit concerning its App Store. The ruling, which also involved Epic Games, the creator of Fortnite, could have a notable impact on Apple&#8217;s revenue.
Previously, Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), and Match Group (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MTCH#NASDAQ">MTCH</a>), the parent company of Tinder, have all <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37863002/meta-and-microsoft-criticize-apple-for-evading-legal-requirements-post-epic-games-ruling">voiced strong opposition to Apple&#8217;s payment</a> policies.
In the second quarter of 2024, the Apple App Store reportedly generated $24.6 billion in revenue from users worldwide, more than twice the revenue earned by Android users through the Google Play Store.
Projections indicate that by 2027, the Apple App Store could bring in approximately $125 billion in global revenue, while the Google Play Store is expected to reach $60 billion in revenue from subscriptions and in-app purchases, according to Statista.

In a bid to restructure its operations, Jellysmack, a SoftBank Group (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBF#OTC">SFTBF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBY#OTC">SFTBY</a>)-backed creator-economy startup, is laying off employees and reducing its creator program.
What Happened: Jellysmack is undergoing a reorganization and will be downsizing its workforce, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/news/jellysmack-is-laying-off-staff-as-it-scales-back-its-creator-program/articleshow/114434680.cms">reported</a> Business Insider. The company has confirmed that 22 U.S.-based employees will be affected, with French employees also facing potential layoffs in the coming months.
The company is shifting its focus to its content business, which includes YouTube channels like Gamology, House of Bounce, Beauty Studio, and Oh My Goal. It is scaling back a program that helped creators earn money by posting content on Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>)-owned apps like Facebook.
&#8220;Jellysmack is making organizational adjustments to better align resources with key areas of growth,&#8221; a company representative said according to the report. &#8220;Jellysmack&#8217;s goal is to prioritize and invest in our business units that hold IP, given their continued success on YouTube.&#8221;

Popular Analyst Predicts 50% Surge For Memecoin As Burn Rate Spikes 389%</a>
This move comes after Jellysmack faced challenges in its business, including a decrease in monetization across platforms. The company, which initially focused on creating its own YouTube content, shifted to working with other creators to edit and recirculate their content across platforms like Facebook and Snap Inc&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNAP#NYSE">SNAP</a>) Snapchat to capture additional ad revenue.
Why It Matters: Jellysmack&#8217;s decision to restructure its operations and focus on its content business comes at a time when the creator economy is undergoing significant changes. Meta Platforms Inc. has also been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41375934/meta-confirms-layoffs-across-instagram-whatsapp-and-reality-labs-amid-strategic-reshuffle">restructuring its operations and laying off employees</a> across Instagram, WhatsApp, and Reality Labs. This is part of a broader trend of tech companies reevaluating their strategies and operations, which has been ongoing for some time.
This was part of a strategic reshuffle aimed at boosting efficiency. The company has also been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37501959/meta-employees-fear-layoffs-as-companys-year-of-efficiency-becomes-permanent-report">undergoing a prolonged process of evaluating individual employee performance for 2023</a>, with the reviews now concluding. This has left many employees anxious about their job security.

In a recent study, researchers have suggested that Arkansas could potentially hold a significant amount of lithium, a crucial component for electric car batteries and other high-tech products.
What Happened: The researchers, in a study published in the journal Science Advances, have estimated that there could be between 5.1 to 19 million tons of lithium in the Smackover Formation brines in southern Arkansas, <a href="https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/4945872-arkansas-19-million-tons-lithium-battery-power/">reported</a> The Hill. This amount could potentially make up 35 to 136% of the current U.S. lithium resource estimate.
The researchers used a machine-learning model trained on published and newly collected brine lithium concentration data to create a map of predicted lithium concentrations in Smackover Formation brines across southern Arkansas.

Arkansas May Be Sitting On 19M Tons Of Lithium Amid Rising Demand For EV Batteries: How To Invest In What Elon Musk Calls 'The New Oil'

Feline-themed cryptocurrency, cat in a dogs world (MEW) defied the broader slump in meme coin space on Monday to become one of the market&#8217;s top gainers.
What Happened: MEW, the fourth-largest meme coin on Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>) by market capitalization, spiked over 6% in the last 24 hours, bucking the trend of declines in more established tokens. As of this writing, it was the third-best-performing cryptocurrency in the 24-hour period.
The meme currency&#8217;s trading volume soared a massive 353% in the last 24 hours, indicating strong buying pressure. With the latest rally, MEW&#8217;s monthly gains elevated to over 88%, while year-to-date it was up 414%.
The stated aim of the project was to challenge the dominance of dog-themed meme coins and herald the &#8220;dawn of a new era&#8221; of cat-inspired tokens.
Interestingly, another cat-themed memecoin,&nbsp;Popcat&nbsp;(SOL), is currently the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/08/40357274/cat-themed-popcat-has-popped-whopping-6813-this-year-feline-themed-coins-are-challenging-s" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">top performer</a>&nbsp;for 2024, soaring an impressive 16492% year-to-date.

The rally was in sharp contrast to the broader drop across the meme coin space, with the total market cap contracting nearly 2% over the last 24 hours. Blue-chip currencies like Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) and Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/shib/usd">SHIB</a>) fell 0.72% and 3.13%, respectively.

Heavyweights Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) retreated 2.22% and 3.28%, respectively, over the last 24 hours.

Cat In A Dog's World Brushes Off Market Pullback With 6% Spike — Dogecoin, Shiba Inu YTD Performance Pales Against Feline-Themed Coin's 415% Gain

Commodity Futures Trading Commission chair, Rostin Behnam, has urged Congress to address the regulation of cryptocurrency and election betting legislation.
What Happened: Behnam made these remarks during the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association&#8217;s annual meeting Monday, as <a href="https://www.theblock.co/post/322365/cftc-chair-behnam-presses-congress-to-act-on-crypto-and-election-betting-legislation?utm_source=twitter&amp;utm_medium=social">reported </a>by The Block. He stated that the CFTC views event contracts on elections as illegal, and such offerings put the agency in a tough spot as an &#8220;election cop.&#8221;
&#8220;This is a classic area where I think Congress should actually weigh in,&#8221; Behnam said.

Why It Matters: Betting platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi have gained significant traction in the ongoing election cycle, with billions gambled on who among Donald Trump and Kamala Harris would become president.
Kalshi <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41158370/wanna-put-your-money-on-trump-or-harris-crypto-based-polymarket-gets-competition-after-kal">resumed taking bets</a> on the outcome of congressional elections after an appeals court lifted a ban on the platform's operations by the CFTC earlier this month. 
On the other hand, Polymarket has remained offshore since the CFTC penalized it $1.4 million and issued a cease-and-desist order for regulatory <a href="https://www.cftc.gov/PressRoom/PressReleases/8478-22">violations </a>in January 2022. As such, U.S. residents can&#8217;t use the platform.
Polymarket, which is built atop Polygon (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/matic/usd">MATIC</a>), <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41363075/26m-bet-on-trumps-election-victory-fuels-speculation-of-coordinated-activity-on-polymarket">has also garnered publicity</a> over concerns of market manipulation and attempts to influence public opinion.
Billionaire investor Mark Cuban stated that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41434026/mark-cuban-dismisses-polymarket-election-odds-as-meaningless-most-of-the-money-is-foreign">he does not believe</a> Polymarket's odds are indicative of anything meaningful, pointing out the influence of foreign money and questionable legality for U.S. participants.
That said, &nbsp;the prediction platform&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40997135/peter-thiel-backed-crypto-based-betting-platform-polymarket-might-be-contemplating-a-token">has received funding</a> from U.S.-based tech tycoons such as Peter Thiel.

Amid Kamala Harris-Trump Polymarket Hype, CFTC Chair Wary Of Turning Into An 'Election Cop' — Wants Congress To Make Moves On Crypto And Election Betting

Billionaire entrepreneur&nbsp;Mark Cuban&nbsp;has denied reports that he suggested a live interview between Vice President&nbsp;Kamala Harris&nbsp;and&nbsp;Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk. This comes in the wake of reports that the Harris campaign declined such a proposal.
What Happened: On Monday, The Hill <a href="https://thehill.com/policy/technology/4945280-vice-president-harris-musk-interview/">reported</a> that during an appearance on CNBC&#8217;s &#8220;Squawk Box,&#8221; Cuban said that Harris&#8217;s campaign denied the idea of an interview on X, formerly Twitter, with Musk.
Responding to Cuban&#8217;s comments on CNBC, Musk had also shown interest in doing this interview.

However, following the publication of the report, Cuban stated that he never asked Harris&#8217;s campaign about any interview but for a private discussion.

I said that I asked them if they would be interested in talking to Elon. They said they would, but they didn't trust him not to disclose on X, what was said.&#8221;
Why It Matters: This incident underscores a potential miscommunication or misreporting involving the &#8220;Shark Tank&#8221; star. 
The controversy centers around Cuban&#8217;s statement that he proposed a private conversation,&nbsp;not a public interview, and&nbsp;the Harris campaign&#8217;s apprehensions about Musk potentially disclosing the conversation details online.
Cuban and Musk are currently clashing over their differing political views. The Tesla CEO has been actively supporting Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, often using social media to share his opinions and allegations of election fraud.
Meanwhile, Cuban has thrown his support behind Democratic presidential candidate Harris. Over the weekend, Cuban also questioned the legality of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41422464/mark-cuban-questions-legality-of-elon-musks-1m-daily-pac-giveaway-but-tesla-ceo-highlights-the-shark">Musk&#8217;s $1 million daily PAC giveaway</a>.
Previously, Cuban also shared his views on Musk&#8217;s support for Trump despite their <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40958452/mark-cuban-says-elon-musk-believes-hes-much-smarter-than-trump-reveals-the-intoxicating-reason-why-t">differing stances on climate change</a>.
He also warned <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41083814/mark-cuban-warns-elon-musk-that-when-the-time-comes-he-needs-trump-the-most-he-will-find-out-the-tru">Musk about Trump&#8217;s loyalty</a>, saying, &#8220;At the point you need him the most, you will find out what so many before you have learned, his loyalty is only to himself.&#8221;
