A rare but deadly mosquito-borne virus has prompted nearly a dozen Massachusetts communities to impose nighttime curfews and other restrictions.
What Happened: Massachusetts health officials confirmed the state&#8217;s first human case of eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) this year. The patient, a man in his 80s, was exposed in Worcester County. Some communities are now at high or critical risk, the health agency <a href="https://www.mass.gov/news/state-officials-announce-plans-to-spray-for-mosquitoes-in-sections-of-worcester-and-plymouth-counties-due-to-eee">announced</a> on Saturday.
Plymouth, located about 40 miles south of Boston, has <a href="https://www.plymouth-ma.gov/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=194">closed</a> all public parks and fields from dusk until dawn. 
"We have not seen an outbreak of EEE for four years in Massachusetts," said Robbie Goldstein, commissioner of the state's Department of Public Health. "We need to use all our available tools to reduce risk and protect our communities. We are asking everyone to do their part."
EEE is transmitted through mosquito bites and is rare but severe. About 30% of those infected die, and many survivors suffer ongoing neurological problems, <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/eastern-equine-encephalitis/about/index.html">according</a> to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Massachusetts health officials plan mosquito spraying between dusk and dawn in Plymouth and Worcester counties this week to curb the virus&#8217;s spread. Residents are advised to use mosquito repellents, drain standing water, wear protective clothing, and avoid outdoor activities during peak mosquito hours.
Symptoms of EEE include fever, headache, vomiting, diarrhea, seizures, behavioral changes, and drowsiness. There are no vaccines or specific treatments for the virus.
Why It Matters: The outbreak of EEE in Massachusetts highlights the ongoing global struggle against mosquito-borne diseases. Bill Gates emphasized the importance of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/02/30972995/bill-gates-says-killing-this-insect-can-save-400-000-lives-a-year">tackling mosquito populations</a>, which are responsible for millions of deaths annually due to diseases like malaria and dengue. Gates has been vocal about the need for innovative solutions to combat these deadly insects.
In 2022, Gates discussed a project in Medellín, Colombia, where scientists are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/08/28509105/bill-gates-shares-plan-to-tackle-the-worlds-deadliest-animal-1">breeding mosquitoes to outsmart</a> the &#8220;world&#8217;s deadliest animal.&#8221; The initiative involves releasing sterile male mosquitoes to reduce populations.
Additionally, the recent dengue crisis in Brazil, exacerbated by urbanization and climate change, underscores the need for effective mosquito control. Forrest Innovations has been working on a solution that involves releasing sterile male mosquitoes to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/partner/general/24/06/39311025/forrest-innovations-seeks-project-financing-to-combat-dengue-crisis-in-brazil">curb the spread of dengue</a>.

Trump's Crypto Project Gets Renamed To 'World Liberty Financial,' Warns Community Against Fake Tokens And Scams

Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) has reportedly decided to discontinue its development of a headset that was intended to rival Apple Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/vision-pro">Vision Pro</a>.
What Happened: The project, internally dubbed La Jolla, was part of Meta&#8217;s four-year strategy for virtual and mixed-reality headsets. The development of La Jolla, which began in November 2023, was abruptly canceled in mid-August 2024, AppleInsider <a href="https://appleinsider.com/articles/24/08/24/meta-cancels-its-headset-rival-to-apple-vision-pro">reported</a> on Saturday.
The decision to abandon the project was made during a product review meeting attended by Meta&#8217;s CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Chief Technology Officer Andrew Bosworth, according to a <a href="https://www.theinformation.com/articles/meta-cancels-high-end-mixed-reality-headset">report</a> by The Information. Bosworth later commented on Threads, stating that many prototypes are in development at all times, but not all make it to production.
&#8220;Decisions like this happen all the time, and stories based on chatter about one individual decision will never give the real picture,&#8221; said Bosworth.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="916" height="283" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/25230911/Andrew-Bosworth-Meta-headset.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-512600" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/25230911/Andrew-Bosworth-Meta-headset.jpg 916w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/25230911/Andrew-Bosworth-Meta-headset-300x93.jpg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/25230911/Andrew-Bosworth-Meta-headset-768x237.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 916px) 100vw, 916px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Screenshot of Andrew Bosworth&#8217;s post on Threads</figcaption></figure>

While the exact reasons for the cancellation are not known, it is speculated that cost issues may have played a part. According to the report, Meta was focused on keeping the cost of the La Jolla headset under $1,000, a target that proved unachievable.
Despite the project&#8217;s cancellation, sources within Meta suggest that the La Jolla headset could be revived in the future, and technology developed for it may be used in other products, according to the report.
Meta did not immediately respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> request for comment.

Why It Matters: Earlier in the year, Zuckerberg had expressed skepticism about <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38424000/mark-zuckerberg-shades-apple-vision-pro-once-again-calls-it-fashionable-ai-glasses-without-a-display">the mainstream success</a> of augmented reality (AR) glasses, particularly those without "full holographic displays,&#8221; in a subtle jab at Apple Vision Pro.
Furthermore, Meta&#8217;s CTO Bosworth had also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/02/37175237/metas-tech-chief-echoes-zuckerbergs-review-of-apple-vision-pro-says-way-too-much-weight-dis">joined the chorus</a>, highlighting several issues with Apple Vision Pro, essentially dismissing the reports about Cupertino&#8217;s first-generation mixed-reality headset being technologically superior.
Meanwhile, Apple&#8217;s Vision Pro is reportedly struggling to find its &#8216;killer app&#8217; to justify <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39747111/apples-vision-pro-struggles-to-find-its-killer-app-to-justify-3-500-price-tag-just-not-quite-hit-the">its $3,500 price tag</a>.

What Happened: Snowden had a strong reaction to Durov&#8217;s arrest. He said, &#8220;The arrest of @Durov is an assault on the basic human rights of speech and association.&#8221;
&#8220;I am surprised and deeply saddened that Macron has descended to the level of taking hostages as a means for gaining access to private communications.&#8221;

Telegram added, &#8220;Telegram&#8217;s CEO Pavel Durov has nothing to hide and travels frequently in Europe.&#8221; They called the claims against Durov and the platform &#8220;absurd&#8221; and highlighted that nearly a billion users globally rely on Telegram for communication and vital information.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin Hold On To Gains Made After Fed's Rate Cut Signal: Analyst Sees No 'Significant' Resistance For King Crypto Until $85K

Mark Cuban has called on Elon Musk to share the source code of the algorithm that decides how <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/x">posts are surfaced</a> on X, aiming to gather user feedback before its implementation.
What Happened: Cuban, the billionaire entrepreneur and &#8220;Shark Tank&#8221; star, has publicly requested X Corp. owner Musk to share the algorithm source code for the upcoming update on X.
Cuban&#8217;s request came in response to a post by Musk, who mentioned that they are working on promoting more engaging content from smaller X accounts. Musk stated, &#8220;Our current algorithm shows too much from accounts that are big already.&#8221;
Cuban suggested that sharing the details on how the algorithm will determine &#8220;Reputation, Relevancy, and Similarity&#8221; would allow users to offer general feedback. He added, &#8220;Unless of course you want to define it by yourself, which is of course your right.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Cuban has previously highlighted the significant impact of social media algorithms on society. In an appearance on the Lex Fridman podcast in June, Cuban emphasized that &#8220;the person who controls the algorithm controls the world,&#8221; stressing the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/06/39459056/mark-cuban-says-the-person-who-controls-the-algorithm-controls-the-world-heres-the-biggest-probl">importance of transparency in these systems</a>.
Musk has also been vocal about the importance of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37582116/elon-musk-says-xai-will-open-source-grok-throws-shade-at-openai-by-calling-it-a-lie">open-source models</a>. In March, he announced that his AI startup, xAI, would open-source the code for its AI chatbot Grok, criticizing OpenAI for not being transparent.
This move aligns with his recent support for open-source AI models, as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39925842/elon-musk-agrees-with-arch-rival-mark-zuckerberg-after-meta-ceo-slams-closed-providers-like-openai-f">seen in his agreement</a> with Meta Platforms Inc. co-founder Mark Zuckerberg against closed-source providers.
Cuban has also sounded alarms about the role of AI algorithms in shaping public opinion, particularly concerning the 2024 election season. He warned that these algorithms could steer the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39785373/mark-cuban-sounds-alarm-on-ai-steering-2024-election-season-including-trump-biden-presidential-race">outcome of elections</a> by influencing public perception more than actual events or policies.

Mark Cuban Asks Elon Musk To Share Source Code Of Algorithm That Decides Reputation, Relevancy, And Similarity Criteria Of Posts On X

Prominent voices from the cryptocurrency space reacted to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40542542/elon-musk-reacts-as-telegram-founder-gets-arrested-in-france-reportedly-faces-20-years-in-prison-on">arrest of the popular messaging app</a> Telegram&#8216;s CEO and founder Pavel Durov in France.
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has expressed concern over the future of software and communication freedom in Europe, following recent developments involving Telegram.
What Happened: Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) co-founder Vitalik Buterin expressed concern over the future of software and communication freedom in Europe via an X post on Sunday. 
Buterin said that he had been critical of Telegram&#8217;s encryption previously. Still, the charges brought by the authorities for being &#8220;unmoderated&#8221; and refusing to hand over user data made the issue appear &#8220;very bad.&#8221;

Some users called out Sun&#8217;s proposal as a gimmick, saying that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/04/38294581/telegram-co-founder-pavel-durov-has-had-a-few-hundred-million-dollars-in-bitcoin-for-years">money was not the problem for Durov</a>, whose net worth is estimated to be more <a href="https://www.forbes.com/profile/pavel-durov/">than</a> $15 billion.

Why It Matters: These responses came after Durov&#8217;s arrest shocked many in the corporate world and those advocating for free speech.
Durov, a Russian-French billionaire, was apprehended on Saturday evening while traveling on his private jet. The arrest is linked to an ongoing police investigation in France, which is reportedly focused on the lack of moderators on Telegram, allowing criminal activity to persist on the platform
Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who also runs social platform X, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40542542/elon-musk-reacts-as-telegram-founder-gets-arrested-in-france-reportedly-faces-20-years-in-prison-on">described the developments</a> as &#8220;super messed up.&#8221;

Lucid, Grifols And Amer Sports Are Among Top 8 Mid Cap Stock Gainers Last Week (Aug 18-Aug 24): Are The Others In Your Portfolio?

Kamala Harris has outperformed both President Joe Biden and Donald Trump in a YouGov poll that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40303946/kamala-harris-and-donald-trump-clash-over-federal-reserves-autonomy">evaluated personal traits</a>.
What Happened: The <a href="https://today.yougov.com/politics/articles/50386-kamala-harris-would-out-cook-out-dance-and-out-dress-trump-americans-say">poll</a> revealed that 50% of the respondents believe Harris would triumph over Trump in a cooking competition, with Trump only garnering 10% support. Similarly, half of the participants think Harris could out-dance Trump, with only 14% backing the former president.
Moreover, Harris was considered a more reliable babysitter, was praised for her fashion sense, and was believed to be more likely to assist a stranger or remember birthdays. She also outshone in the area of parenting advice.

However, Trump managed to outperform Harris in four out of the 20 questions. Participants felt he was more likely to win an arm-wrestling match or a game of poker, and gave him higher marks for financial advice and celebrity voice imitation.

The YouGov survey was conducted from August 16-19 among 1,143 adults, with a margin of error of 4 percentage points.
Why It Matters: This survey provides a unique perspective on the public&#8217;s perception of these political figures beyond their political roles. The results could potentially influence public opinion and voter behavior in future elections. 
The areas where Harris excelled, such as reliability and empathy, are traits often associated with effective leadership. Conversely, the areas where Trump outperformed may reflect his image as a business tycoon and entertainer.
It&#8217;s worth noting that these results are based on personal traits and do not necessarily reflect the respondents&#8217; political views or their satisfaction with the politicians&#8217; performance in office. 
Nonetheless, these findings offer an interesting insight into the public&#8217;s perception of these prominent political figures.

So You Think She Can Dance: Kamala Harris Tops Donald Trump In Poll On Personal Attributes

Apple, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APPL#NASDAQ">APPL</a>), which is seeking its next big thing after <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/content/39981714/apple-to-assemble-iphone-16-pro-models-in-india-report">its flagship product, the iPhone,</a> is eyeing the rollout of a series of products based on robotics, Bloomberg columnist Mark Gurman wrote on Sunday.
What Happened: Apple&#8217;s self-driving car project fiasco may not be a total failure, as the technology behind the concept of the &#8220;giant rolling robot&#8221; that was the car could be applied to the other areas, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2024-08-25/apple-plans-tabletop-robot-while-exploring-mobile-bots-and-humanoid-machines-m09kawex?srnd=undefined">said</a> Gurman in his latest Power On weekly newsletter. After burning cash at the rate of $1 billion per year for about a decade, Cupertino shelved its Apple Car project as its focus shifted toward generative artificial intelligence.
The company began to mull over other products that can move around through robotics, said Gurman, adding that it is still in the early stages of figuring out how best to use robotics.
In the near term, Apple is planning to launch a tabletop device, codenamed J595, which will likely have a &#8220;large, iPad-like display with cameras and a base that features a robotic actuator,&#8221; Gurman wrote. He expects the product to launch in 2026 or 2027.
This will likely be followed by mobile robots and possibly even humanoid models in the next decade. Incidentally, Elon Musk-led Tesla is developing a humanoid robot called Optimus.
Gurman said Kevin Lynch, who previously headed the car team as well as watch software engineering, leads the robot project and works along with Apple&#8217;s AI chief. The company has hired top robotics experts from places like Technion in Israel, he said.
One key work in robotics is the creation of a personality, and Apple is working on another humanlike interface based on generative AI, Gurman said.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/everything-you-need-to-know-about-apple-stock">Everything You Need To Know About Apple Stock</a>
Potential Use Cases: With robotics. Apple has set out to solve a series of first-world problems, Gurman said. Some of the use cases the Apple specialist mentioned include:
<ul>
<li>Reaching out to one&#8217;s devices left in another room</li>
<li>Taking photos of things or launching a videoconferencing session when a user is not holding a device or sitting directly in front of it</li>
<li>Operating or checking something at home while being out of the house.</li>
</ul>
Gurman also raised the possibility of attaching a robotic limb to the iPad, which could make the device more useful for videoconferencing or browsing the web for recipes. Apple also has lined up plans to bring out machines that can do household chores such as loading up a laundry machine or scrubbing down dirty plates but those could be a longtime coming since these ideas haven&#8217;t gone beyond sketches on whiteboard, he said.
The columnist expects the project to get a boost from advances in the artificial intelligence technology. Apple&#8217;s expertise in sensors, advanced silicon, hardware engineering and batteries, as well as its ability to map the spaces around devices could also come in handy, he said.
Why It&#8217;s Important: For Apple, it could be a perfect timing to work on robotics, as hundreds of engineers with experience in in self-driving technology and robotic system freed up by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/02/37346162/apple-abandons-electric-car-project-to-focus-on-generative-ai">the shelved car project </a>could be employed to pursue the idea vigorously, Gurman said.
 With a successful robotics device, Apple can be successful in the smart home market, in which it trials behind Amazon and Alphabet&#8217;s Google, he said. &#8220;The tabletop device might be the thing that finally helps Apple home devices stand out,&#8221; he added.
The Pushbacks: Robots are currently costly and most consumers may not be yet willing to embrace the concept, said Gurman. He also sees the need to solve technical problems such as having hardware that can successfully roam through cluttered spaces and navigate buildings with multiple floors.
Apple might also need more talent, including many more engineers, for the plan to fructify.
But Apple insiders feel there is a lot of promise in this pursuit. &#8220;If the company truly wants to find another way into consumers' lives, robotics might make the most sense,&#8221; Gurman said.
Apple ended Friday&#8217;s session up 1.03% at $226.84, according to<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174"> Benzinga Pro data.</a>

An Apple/Tesla Robot War? Gurman Says Cupertino Is Making A Big Push Into Robotics

Donald Trump has angered anti-abortion circles by adopting a more <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40541978/trump-vs-harris-kamala-harris-takes-8-point-lead-in-new-poll-with-race-and-gender-shaping-voter-pref">moderate stance on abortion rights</a>.
What Happened: Trump, in a post on Truth Social on Friday, claimed he would be &#8220;great for women and their reproductive rights.&#8221; This move is seen as an attempt to reset his campaign narrative against Kamala Harris and appeal to a broader demographic.
According to the report <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2024/08/24/trump-abortion-reactions-00176276">by</a> Politico, the term &#8220;reproductive rights&#8221; is often associated with Democrats and encompasses a range of medical practices related to child-bearing, including abortion. Trump&#8217;s use of the term has drawn criticism from anti-abortion advocates.
Lila Rose, founder of the anti-abortion group Live Action, accused Trump of trying to &#8220;ingratiate himself with those that are pro-abortion.&#8221; She continued, &#8220;Not only is it not principled, it's not going to help the Trump campaign to be trying to sound like a Democrat right now.&#8221;

Kristan Hawkins, president of Students for Life Action, said that Trump&#8217;s post had &#8220;understandably upset many within the pro-life movement&#8221;.
Despite the backlash, Trump&#8217;s campaign maintains that the post is in line with his previous positions on abortion and other reproductive issues. 
Karoline Leavitt, the campaign's national press secretary, reiterated Trump&#8217;s support for state rights to determine their laws on abortion and his commitment to ensuring women have access to necessary health care.

"As President Trump has consistently stated, he supports the rights of individuals in their respective states to determine their laws on abortion. President Trump also strongly supports ensuring women have access to the care they need to create healthy families, including widespread access to IVF, birth control, and contraception, and he always will," Leavitt told the outlet.
Why It Matters: Trump&#8217;s new stance on abortion rights marks a significant shift from his previous position. His use of the term &#8220;reproductive rights&#8221; is seen as a strategic move to appeal to a broader demographic, particularly women. 
However, this has sparked controversy within anti-abortion circles, with many accusing him of pandering to pro-abortion advocates. 
This could potentially impact his support base and influence his campaign against Harris.

Trump's Reproductive Rights Pledge Sparks Outrage Among Advocates, Kamala Harris Poised To Capitalize

The newly appointed CEO of Starbucks Corporation, Brian Niccol, has sparked environmental concerns with his decision to commute between his California home and the Seattle office via a private jet, as per a recent company announcement.
What Happened: Starbucks has made arrangements for Niccol to work remotely from his Newport Beach home and commute weekly to the Seattle headquarters using a corporate jet.
Niccol, despite not being required to permanently relocate to Seattle, is expected to frequently visit stores and engage with employees, considering Starbucks&#8217; global reach, <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2024/08/23/business/starbucks-ceo-brian-niccol-private-jet/index.html">reports</a> CNN. 
This commuting arrangement, however, has raised eyebrows due to the environmental impact of private jet travel. 
According to the Institute for Policy Studies, private jets, despite burning less fuel than commercial jets, consume approximately ten times more fuel per passenger mile due to their limited capacity.
"Brian Niccol has proven himself to be one of the most effective leaders in our industry, generating significant financial returns over many years," a Starbucks spokesperson told the outlet.

"We're confident in his experience and ability to serve as the leader of our global business and brand, delivering long-term, enduring value for our partners, customers and shareholders," the spokesperson added.
Environmental advocacy group Greenpeace has condemned this arrangement, labeling it as &#8220;unacceptable&#8221; and has initiated a petition to ban private jets.
Niccol, formerly the head of Chipotle, has been assigned the responsibility of enhancing Starbucks&#8217; performance. 
His remuneration package includes a $1.6 million base salary, a $10 million signing bonus, and potential additional earnings based on the company&#8217;s annual performance.
According to the report, Niccol is eligible to use Starbucks' company plane for business related and personal travel "up to a maximum of $250,000 per year which amount will be based on the aggregate incremental cost to the Company."
Why It Matters: The decision of Starbucks&#8217; new CEO to commute via a private jet has raised environmental concerns at a time when many corporations are striving to reduce their carbon footprint. 
This move could potentially harm Starbucks&#8217; reputation, especially among environmentally conscious consumers. 
The criticism from Greenpeace further amplifies these concerns. It remains to be seen how Starbucks will address this issue and balance its operational needs with its environmental responsibilities.

Starbucks Gives New CEO Brian Niccol Company Jet To Fly To Seattle HQ, Sparks Environmental Backlash

In a remarkable show of financial support, Kamala Harris&#8216; campaign and its affiliates <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40303946/kamala-harris-and-donald-trump-clash-over-federal-reserves-autonomy">have collectively raised a whopping $540 million</a> in just the one month since President Joe Biden quit the presidential race.
What Happened: The recent Democratic convention held in Chicago played a significant role in boosting this figure, with that event alone generating $82 million in donations.
The details of this fundraising feat were shared in a memo by campaign chair Jen O&#8217;Malley Dillon, emphasizing the robust financial backing for Harris in her electoral battle against Donald Trump.
Following Harris&#8217; convention-closing speech, the campaign witnessed an unprecedented hourly record for contributions. The $540 million total includes funds raised by the Harris campaign, the DNC, and joint fundraising committees.

Women have emerged as a potent force behind this fundraising triumph. According to the memo, two-thirds of the contributors during the convention were women, and a third of these were first-time donors.

</ul>
Alongside the financial surge, the campaign has also experienced a significant increase in volunteer sign-ups, with 200,000 shifts registered. Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz, are scheduled to tour Georgia on Wednesday and Thursday.
Why It Matters: The campaign&#8217;s fundraising success is a testament to Harris&#8217; growing popularity and the widespread support for her candidacy. The record-breaking figures not only demonstrate the strength of her campaign but also underline the crucial role of women and first-time donors in shaping the political landscape.
The surge in volunteer sign-ups further indicates a high level of engagement and enthusiasm among Harris&#8217; supporters, which could potentially translate into a strong voter turnout in her favor.
The upcoming tour of Georgia by Harris and Walz is also significant, as it suggests a strategic focus on key battleground states, which could be decisive in the election outcome.

Kamala Harris' Campaign Achieves Historic $540M Milestone Raised Since Biden Exit

Elon Musk has criticized Instagram&#8217;s handling of child exploitation and data privacy <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/03/31129297/zuckerbergs-life-changing-advice-to-young-people">issues in a post on X</a>.
What Happened: On Sunday, Musk took to X to express his concerns over Instagram&#8217;s alleged child exploitation problem and data privacy issues. 
He accused Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Instagram&#8217;s parent company Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FB#NASDAQ">FB</a>), of succumbing to censorship pressure and providing governments with backdoor access to user data. Musk&#8217;s post was in response to a post by Naomi Seibt.
Musk&#8217;s comments came following the arrest of Telegram founder Pavel Durov, the Russian-born entrepreneur behind the encrypted messaging service Telegram, in France. 
Durov faces multiple charges linked to his platform and could be sentenced to up to 20 years in prison if found guilty. In a post on X, Musk said that "It's 2030 in Europe and you're being executed for liking a meme".

Musk Takes Shot At Zuckerberg, Slams Instagram Over Child Exploitation And Data Privacy

Author and investor Robert Kiyosaki has criticized Vice President Kamala Harris while announcing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40541978/trump-vs-harris-kamala-harris-takes-8-point-lead-in-new-poll-with-race-and-gender-shaping-voter-pref">a meeting with Robert F. Kennedy Jr.</a>
What Happened: In a post on X on Saturday, Kiyosaki referred to Kamala Harris as &#8220;avocado toast&#8221;, suggesting her political days are nearing an end. He also announced that he will be meeting Kennedy soon.

Kiyosaki further accused the Joe Biden administration of being a &#8220;crime family&#8221; and urged his followers to join him in Dallas, away from the &#8220;criminals who have been ripping off the people of the world for far too long.&#8221;
Why It Matters: Kiyosaki&#8217;s comments come amidst a politically charged environment, with his tweet indicating a shift in alliances and potential political strategies. His meeting with Kennedy, a known environmental lawyer and activist, could hint at future collaborations or initiatives.
However, without any additional context or information, the implications of Kiyosaki&#8217;s tweet remain speculative. 
His criticism of the Biden administration and Harris, though, adds to the ongoing political discourse and could potentially influence public opinion.

Robert Kiyosaki: 'Kamala Harris Is Avocado Toast, Her Lying, Immoral, Unethical Days Coming To An End'

Vice President Kamala Harris&#8216; presidential campaign has embraced a populist economic message, blaming corporate greed for high grocery prices. However, her proposal to ban price gouging is drawing criticism from economists, including a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40343571/kamala-harris-promise-to-take-on-corporate-landlords-and-cap-unfair-rent-increases-is-a-hit-with-vot">key figure from the Obama administration</a>.

</ul>
Jason Furman, who served as Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers under President Obama, dismissed Harris&#8217;s plan in plain terms. &#8220;This is not sensible policy,&#8221; Furman told The New York Times. &#8220;The biggest hope is that it ends up being a lot of rhetoric and no reality.&#8221;
Harris's campaign announced last week that she would call for a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40467624/harris-price-gouging-plan-faces-pushback-from-grocers-hurting-from-the-same-inflationary-pressure-as">federal ban on corporate price gouging for groceries</a> in an upcoming economic policy speech. The move appears designed to appeal to swing voters frustrated by persistent inflation, particularly in everyday essentials like food.

However, economists across the political spectrum argue that corporate behavior played a minor role in recent price increases compared to factors like supply chain disruptions, shifts in consumer demand, and expansionary fiscal and monetary policies during the pandemic.
&#8220;If prices are rising on average over time and profit margins expand, that might look like price gouging, but it&#8217;s actually indicative of a broad increase in demand,&#8221; Joshua Hendrickson, an economist at the University of Mississippi, explained to the Times.
Furman warned that policies aimed at curbing price increases could hinder economic adjustment. &#8220;If prices do not rise in response to strong demand, new companies may not have as much inclination to jump into the market to ramp up supply.&#8221;

The debate points to the tension between politically popular proposals and economic orthodoxy. Kevin O&#8217;Leary, the "Shark Tank" investor, expressed surprise that Harris didn&#8217;t move toward more "centrist" policies. &#8220;Her advisors have given her some bad advice,&#8221; O&#8217;Leary said in a recent Fox News interview, predicting increased scrutiny of how the programs would be implemented.

Some economists, however, see merit in efforts to address corporate pricing power. Isabella Weber of the University of Massachusetts Amherst argues that allowing companies to reap outsized profits during supply shocks could set a worrying precedent for future crises.
"If the worst of times for ordinary people ends up being the best of times for corporations, some sort of basic social contract is kind of crumpling," she said in the report. With inflation cooling but still a top concern for many Americans, the debate over price gouging and corporate profits will likely remain at the front of economic policy discussions in the months ahead.

O&#8217;Leary is frustrated with the trade relationship&#8217;s unfairness. He believes the U.S. needs to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/06/39228724/kevin-oleary-advocates-for-strict-regulatory-compliance-implications-for-digital-assets">pressure </a>China with tariffs and other economic actions until they treat American companies fairly. In his own words, the U.S. needs to &#8220;squeeze Chinese heads.&#8221;
O&#8217;Leary sees tariffs as necessary but doesn&#8217;t love them in the long run. By keeping the heat on, China will have no choice but to come to the negotiating table and agree to fairer trade practices. O&#8217;Leary wants to ensure that the Chinese don&#8217;t take advantage of American businesses and that the U.S. gets a fair deal in global trade.

O'Leary believes that China responds to firmness and that it is time for the U.S. to &#8220;give them the stick,&#8221; an analogy for applying stricter measures to ensure justice and equal interchange in economic and trade relationships. &#8220;I am all for squeezing them every single day and keeping the policy tight,&#8221; he said.&nbsp;
O&#8217;Leary&#8217;s not alone in his criticism of the country. The U.S.-China conflict has been widening for quite some time now. Still, O&#8217;Leary understands that fair trade between the U.S. and China is important for both sides, and American business owners don&#8217;t want to lose this extremely important market. O&#8217;Leary and many others simply want to ensure American businesses get fair treatment, not to hurt China, but to develop a level of relationship that benefits everyone.

Top 5 Highest THC Cannabis Strains For 2024

This article was originally published on <a href="https://cannabis.net/blog/news/jd-vance-says-theres-fentanyl-in-our-teens-bags-of-marijuana-so-shouldnt-we-legalize-and-regula.971306">Cannabis.net</a> and appears here with permission.
During a recent campaign event with the Milwaukee Police Association in Wisconsin,&nbsp;<a href="https://cannabis.net/blog/news/is-trumps-vp-pick-jd-vance-good-or-bad-for-the-cannabis-industry.526378">Senator JD Vance (R-OH) made a provocative assertion</a>&nbsp;that &quot;fentanyl is in our marijuana bags that our teenagers are using.&quot; This statement was not merely an isolated comment but part of a broader narrative that links the opioid crisis to the Biden administration&#39;s border policies. Vance expressed deep concerns about the potential dangers that substances might pose to his children as they grow up, highlighting the need for a safer environment for youth experimentation with drugs. He articulated a parental anxiety that many share, fearing that a single mistake could have irreversible consequences for their children. By framing his argument in this manner, Vance aims to resonate with parents who are increasingly worried about the safety of their children in a world where drug use is prevalent. However, Vance&#39;s claims have sparked significant controversy and pushback from various advocates and regulatory bodies, which argue that there is&nbsp;<a href="https://cannabis.net/blog/news/the-cannabis-laced-fentanyl-myth">little to no evidence supporting the idea of fentanyl contamination in cannabis products.</a>&nbsp;Experts from organizations like the Partnership to End Addiction emphasize that fentanyl, a potent synthetic opioid, is destroyed when burned, rendering it ineffective if mixed with marijuana.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Furthermore, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA)&nbsp;<a href="https://cannabis.net/blog/opinion/cannabis-laced-with-fentanyl-is-not-real-cannabis-laced-with-fentanyl-is-not-real-cannabis-lace.915642">has not issued any alerts regarding fentanyl being found in cannabis</a>, suggesting that the narrative surrounding fentanyl-laced marijuana may be more sensational than factual. As the debate continues, it raises critical questions about the intersection of drug policy, public health, and the responsibilities of lawmakers to base their claims on scientific evidence rather than anecdotal fears.
<h3>Reasons Why Fentanyl-Laced Marijuana is Unlikely</h3>
Several factors contribute to the unlikelihood of fentanyl being present in marijuana products:
<ul>
<li>
<h4>Burning Destroys Fentanyl</h4>
</li>
<li>
Fentanyl is destroyed when burned, including when in a joint, blunt, or other means of smoking marijuana.
</li>
<li>
Even if fentanyl is mixed with marijuana flower, it will have no effect on a person who is smoking it.
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<h4>Vape Pen Temperatures are Too Low</h4>
</li>
<li>
Most commonly available vape pens don&#39;t reach temperatures over 450 degrees Fahrenheit, as higher temperatures would destroy the substances they are intended to be used with, including marijuana.
</li>
<li>
Vape pens would have to reach temperatures closer to 900 degrees Fahrenheit to vaporize fentanyl.
</li>
<li>
Even&nbsp; if the marijuana is contaminated or mixed with fentanyl, the fentanyl would be destroyed before it&#39;s absorbed.
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<h4>Liver Breaks Down Edibles</h4>
</li>
</ul>
If fentanyl is baked into a brownie or put in some other kind of edible, the risk is very low because fentanyl is broken down by the liver, with little chance of reaching the brain.
<ul>
<li>
<h4>No Profits to be Made</h4>
</li>
<li>
According to Leafly, a site devoted to the sale of marijuana products, it doesn&rsquo;t make sense to add fentanyl to marijuana from a cost standpoint.
</li>
<li>
As an example, &ldquo;a weed dealer would have to spend $40 on a fentanyl patch, successfully extract the drug from the patch, and then &ldquo;lace&rdquo; a $30 gram of their best weed to live up to these fantasies. In a best-case economic scenario, the dealer is losing $10 on every sale.&rdquo;
</li>
<li>
Fentanyl is an expensive drug, and adding it to marijuana would not be profitable for drug dealers.
</li>
<li>
The costs associated with extracting and adding fentanyl to marijuana outweigh any potential benefits for drug dealers.
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<h4>Police and Media Mistakes</h4>
</li>
</ul>
According to Leafly, a site dedicated to marijuana products, it is economically unfeasible for drug dealers to add fentanyl to marijuana; for instance, a dealer would need to spend $40 on a fentanyl patch, extract the drug, and then lace it into a $30 gram of marijuana, resulting in a loss of $10 per sale in the best-case scenario. Given that fentanyl is an expensive drug, the costs associated with its extraction and addition to marijuana outweigh any potential profits, making it impractical for dealers to engage in this practice.
<ul>
<li>
<h4>No DEA Alerts</h4>
</li>
<li>
The DEA has recently issued alerts about fentanyl-laced fake pills like Percocet, Vicodin, Adderall, and Xanax, as well as fentanyl laced with Xylazine, but they have not issued alerts about marijuana.
</li>
<li>
There are about 55 million people in the U.S. who use marijuana.
</li>
<li>
<h4>Vance&#39;s Limited Cannabis Policy Record</h4>
</li>
<li>
Vance, who was elected to Congress in 2022, doesn&rsquo;t have an extensive cannabis policy record.
</li>
<li>
His limited actions and comments on the issue indicate that he&rsquo;s aligned with Trump on one key issue: He backs the rights of states to set their own marijuana laws.
</li>
<li>
He&rsquo;s also indicated that he&rsquo;s against incarcerating people over low-level possession.
</li>
<li>
However, he voted against bipartisan banking legislation that passed in committee and has argued that states that have enacted legalization should increase enforcement activities, complained about the smell of cannabis multiple times and suggested that its use can lead to violence.
</li>
<li>
Vance&rsquo;s limited record on cannabis policy suggests that his claim about fentanyl-laced marijuana may be more politically motivated than based on scientific evidence.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Conclusion</h3>
While Senator JD Vance&rsquo;s assertion regarding the&nbsp;<a href="https://cannabis.net/blog/opinion/did-the-us-just-have-its-first-real-case-of-fentanyl-laced-marijuana">presence of fentanyl in marijuana</a>&nbsp;may have been intended to draw attention to the pressing issues of the opioid crisis and border security, it fundamentally lacks a solid foundation in factual evidence and stands in stark contradiction to the findings presented by experts and regulatory authorities. The overwhelming consensus among professionals in the field is that the likelihood of fentanyl contamination in cannabis products is exceedingly low, a reality that is further underscored by Vance&rsquo;s relatively limited record on cannabis policy. This raises concerns that his statement may be more politically motivated than grounded in scientific reality, potentially serving to exploit public fears rather than address them with informed discourse.
In light of these considerations, experts and advocates continue to stress the critical importance of developing evidence-based policies and enhancing public education to effectively tackle the genuine challenges posed by substance abuse and the ongoing opioid epidemic. The need for a regulatory framework that ensures safety and accountability in drug use is paramount, yet Vance&rsquo;s comments do not align with this objective. Instead, they perpetuate a narrative that lacks empirical support, diverting attention from the real issues at hand and hindering constructive dialogue on how best to protect communities and individuals from the dangers of drug misuse.
