Republican allies of Donald Trump are threatening to terminate the federal contracts of Deloitte, a major consulting firm, following the disclosure of messages from 2020 by one of its employees. The messages, which were critical of Trump&#8217;s presidency, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41214859/this-polymarket-trader-holds-6-4-million-in-donald-trump-election-bets-if-not-musk-definit">were shared by the employee</a>.
What Happened: The employee, Kevin Gallagher, who is not associated with the content of the messages, was publicly named by Donald Trump Jr., and his comments were further circulated by Sen.&nbsp;J.D. Vance&#8216;s&nbsp;(R-Ohio) chief spokesman and a Republican senator. The Washington Post <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/10/07/vance-messages-deloitte-retaliation/">reported</a> on Monday.
Vance stated in the messages that Trump had &#8220;thoroughly failed to deliver&#8221; on his economic agenda while in the White House and predicted he would likely lose the election to Joe Biden, according to the report.
Experts have raised concerns that this incident could be a sign of how a second Trump administration might use the federal government&#8217;s power to punish individual workers for their political actions. 
Despite federal contracting laws prohibiting the termination of a business due to its workers&#8217; private political views, such threats could have a chilling effect.
"I've never seen anything like this," said Kedric Payne, senior director of ethics at the nonpartisan Campaign Legal Center and former deputy chief counsel in the Office of Congressional Ethics.

Deloitte, which receives approximately $3 billion annually from federal agencies, including the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Defense, has not yet addressed how it has handled the situation or whether the employee has faced any internal discipline.
Vance&#8217;s campaign clarified that he has not called for Deloitte to lose its contracts, and neither he nor Trump Jr. has explicitly demanded Gallagher&#8217;s termination.
Why It Matters: This incident is the latest in a series of public threats from Trump&#8217;s MAGA movement. The former president has previously threatened to use the Justice Department to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39723781/trump-threatens-to-jail-metas-mark-zuckerberg-and-election-fraudsters-if-re-elected-dont-do-it-be-ca">jail his opponents if he wins a second term</a>. Many of his supporters on social media have called for the employee to be fired.
Deloitte, however, has a political action committee that has distributed its spending across candidates in both parties in recent elections. The company has stated that it is &#8220;deeply committed to supporting our government and commercial clients and we have a long track record of doing so across parties and administrations,&#8221; according to the report
This incident comes amid a series of legal and financial challenges surrounding <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40968244/trumps-new-crypto-ventures-legal-counsel-accused-of-attempting-to-seize-control-of-rival-f">Trump and his ventures</a>. Recently, Trump&#8217;s new cryptocurrency venture faced legal issues, with its legal counsel accused of attempting to seize control of a rival firm. 
Earlier this year, Trump was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/04/38061721/trump-media-co-founders-sued-by-ex-president-they-began-ceaseless-attempts-to-thwart-the-blank-c">involved in a lawsuit against the co-founders</a> of his media company, Trump Media &amp; Technology DJT, for allegedly failing to fulfill their obligations. 
Additionally, Trump was fined $355 million and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/37186402/trump-slapped-with-355m-fine-3-year-ban-on-company-leadership-in-new-york">banned from company leadership</a> in New York for fraudulently overstating his net worth.

Several prominent figures in the tech industry, including Nvidia Corporation CEO Jensen Huang, are actively discussing the concept of &#8220;sovereign AI.&#8221; This highlights its importance for national interests and security.
What Happened: In an <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/artificial-intelligence/news/sovereign-ai-explained-an-ai-cloud-ceo-unpacks-whats-behind-the-trend/articleshow/114013172.cms">interview</a> with Business Insider, JJ Kardwell, CEO of Vultr,&nbsp;a cloud service provider and&nbsp;data center operator, elaborated on the concept of Sovereign AI and its significance in the era of intricate computations.
Sovereign AI is the control a government or organization exerts over AI technologies and data, ensuring they align with national legal frameworks.
It emphasizes local cloud infrastructure, keeping data within borders to meet regulations and address security concerns.
According to Kardwell, &#8220;The higher levels of sovereignty involve no communication, no information whatsoever, even at a control plane level, passing outside of a country.&#8221;

According to media reports, India is building local AI capabilities with Nvidia, aligning with its &#8220;Make-in-India&#8221; goals. Japan, also partnering with Nvidia, is developing AI infrastructure for disaster response.
France and Canada are advancing frameworks to safeguard data and tech amid global competition. In response to U.S. restrictions, China is also accelerating its domestic AI efforts, highlighting the geopolitical stakes of sovereign AI.

Why It Matters: Nvidia CEO has been a strong advocate for sovereign AI. He has previously highlighted the need for nations to develop their own AI capabilities to protect data and preserve cultural identity.
He views sovereign AI as critical for countries to harness their unique strengths in the AI era and has backed this with a $110 million fund for startups in the space.
&#8220;Sovereign AI clouds coming up from all over the world as people realize that they can't afford to export their country's knowledge, their country's culture for somebody else to then resell AI back to them,&#8221; he said during an earnings call in November 2023.
IBM CEO Arvind Krishna also shares this vision. He has urged nations to build their own AI infrastructure, particularly large language models, and called for national AI computing centers to support this effort.
Earlier, Nvidia CFO Colette Kress also highlighted the rising global demand for sovereign AI, driven by the need for local data processing, with countries like India and Japan leading the charge.

Dog-themed meme coin First Neiro On Ethereum (NEIRO) became the market's best-performing cryptocurrency Monday, defying the slump in its sister coin Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>).

The coin's trading volume soared 90% to $1.206 billion, making it the second-most traded meme currency in the last 24 hours, above the likes of DOGE and Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/shib/usd">SHIB</a>).
NEIRO spiked to an all-time high of $0.001853, prompting a whale investor to purchase over 841 million of the coin, worth $1.45 million, in the last 24 hours, according to on-chain data. With a portfolio worth $6.51 million, the trader sat on a windfall of $2.67 million.

Tesla and Space X CEO Elon Musk talked about his potential role in the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) under a new Donald Trump administration&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
What happened: In an interview with popular media personality Tucker Carlson, Musk explained that the idea behind the so-called DOGE department was to streamline federal spending by overseeing the operations of different agencies.
Musk underlined that the U.S. has far too many federal agencies, about 438 in total.&nbsp;

"That seems crazy," the tech mogul said, emphasizing the need to have fewer agencies.&nbsp;
Musk further stressed the importance of establishing a review process to determine which regulations are reasonable and which are not.&nbsp;
"If you got regulators, every year they are going to add more regulations," he stated. "There will be more rules and regulations every year until, basically, everything is illegal to get anything done."
The multi-billionaire said that the efficiency department would act as a "garbage collection" for regulations that don't make sense.&nbsp;
Musk said that he preferred calling the department ‘DOGE' as it was more ‘fun', in what was an oblique reference to Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>), a cryptocurrency that he has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41148843/much-wow-how-elon-musk-went-from-promising-to-eat-a-happy-meal-if-mcdonalds-adopts-dogecoi">endorsed </a>in the past.

&#8220;I will create a government efficiency commission tasked with conducting a complete financial and performance audit of the entire federal government,&#8221; Trump said at the Economic Club of New York.

Elon Musk Says Potential 'DOGE' Department Under A Trump Administration Will Be A 'Garbage Collector' For Regulations That Don't Make Sense

In a novel approach to recruitment, the U.S. Navy has launched a Reddit-based puzzle game aimed at attracting Generation Z.
What Happened: The U.S. Navy has rolled out a Reddit-wide role-playing game to engage the next generation of submariners. The campaign, known as the Sub Reddit Hunt, will run until the end of October, <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/petersuciu/2024/10/05/us-navy-launched-subreddit-puzzle-game-to-attract-submariners/">reported</a> Forbes.
The game involves code-breaking and clue-finding to complete command directives and is part of a larger social media campaign targeting Gen Z.
The Navy, along with other military branches, has been increasingly creative in its recruitment strategies, particularly on social media platforms.

Earlier, secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro announced that the Navy had surpassed its fiscal year 2024 recruitment goals, bringing in 40,978 active-duty enlisted recruits, exceeding the target of 40,600, the report noted.

US Navy Is Using A Puzzle On Reddit To Find 'Very Best And Brightest' Future Gen Z Submarine Crews — Here's How They Are Doing It

A Canadian trader, Christopher DeVocht, turned a modest investment into a staggering $306 million by betting on Elon Musk&#8216;s Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) stock. However, he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41141444/tesla-stock-plunges-3-despite-q3-deliveries-exceeding-consensus-and-growing-year-over-year">lost it all during the 2022 bear market</a> and is now suing the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) and Grant Thornton, alleging &#8220;inadequate advice.&#8221;
What Happened: DeVocht, a carpenter from Vancouver Island, Canada, capitalized on the pandemic-induced stock surge, turning his C$88,000 (approximately $65,000) investment with RBC into a C$415 million (about $306 million) fortune by November 2021, <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/tesla-stock-trader-lost-306-million-according-to-lawsuit-rbc-2024-10">reported</a> Business Insider.
However, DeVocht and his advisors chose to hold onto the stocks, resulting in significant losses during the 2022 bear market. DeVocht alleges that the advice he received from RBC and Grant Thornton was negligent and &#8220;inadequate,&#8221; contributing to his account&#8217;s staggering decline.
DeVocht&#8217;s advisors suggested incorporating a company and rolling his securities into it to reduce his tax liabilities from the massive gains he had on paper. 
He was also advised to make charitable donations to lower his tax liability, which further eroded his wealth. RBC also set up margin loan accounts for DeVocht to borrow against his concentrated Tesla stock position for spending purposes.

DeVocht&#8217;s lawsuit filing is an initial notice of claim and did not include evidence like brokerage account statements to prove his gains or losses.
Why It Matters: The Tesla stock has been a subject of significant market activity in recent times. In September, traders were looking at the next big catalyst for a bullish thesis, with three major events coming up in early October, including the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/opinion/24/09/41013449/the-next-big-trade-is-teslas-october-triple-whammy">Fed&#8217;s meeting and first rate cut</a>.

Analysts believe that Tesla&#8217;s highly anticipated Robotaxi Day could be a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41212796/tesla-robotaxi-day-preview-move-over-autonomous-vehicles-analyst-says-this-positive">significant catalyst for the stock</a>, with several unannounced items potentially driving the stock even further.

Widely-followed cryptocurrency researcher Ali Martinez highlighted the possibility of Ether's rally toward $6,000, given it maintains support above $2,300.

To the contrary, he pointed out the risk of diving to even $1,600 if Ether fails to maintain the key support level.
The significance could be gauged by the fact that nearly 2.77 million addresses bagged 52.65 million Ether at the aforementioned level.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin Reverse As Stocks Come Under Pressure Amid Rising Geopolitical Tensions: ETH Could Rally To $6K If This Happens, Says Popular Analyst

Samsung Electronics (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSNLF#OTC">SSNLF</a>) has issued a warning, predicting a significant drop in third-quarter profits, due to various factors including one-time costs and a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40812318/samsung-to-reportedly-slash-global-workforce-by-up-to-30-in-certain-divisions-amid-intense-competiti">surge in supply from Chinese rivals</a>.
What Happened: On Tuesday, the South Korean tech giant announced an estimated operating profit of approximately 9.10 trillion won ($7.6 billion) for the quarter ending in September. This represents a 274% increase from the previous year&#8217;s 2.43 trillion won.
The company&#8217;s memory business has been impacted by &#8220;one-time costs and negative effects,&#8221; which include inventory adjustments by mobile customers and an increase in the supply of legacy products by Chinese memory companies, Samsung stated.

These memory chips are used in devices such as laptops and servers, and Samsung is the leading manufacturer of these chips. The company is also the world&#8217;s second-largest player in the smartphone market.
Furthermore, the company reported that shipments of HBM3E chips to major customers were delayed. In August, it was reported that Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40227015/nvidia-greenlights-samsungs-fifth-gen-hbm3e-chips-for-ai-processors-report">successfully tested and approved</a> Samsung Electronics' fifth-generation high bandwidth memory chips, known as HBM3E, for use in its artificial intelligence processors.
Price Action: Following the release of the earnings guidance, Samsung&#8217;s share price, which has already fallen by more than 24.12% year-to-date, dropped by an additional 0.7%, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Samsung Warns Of Q3 Profit Drop Amid Shipment Delays Of AI Chip Approved By Nvidia

Following <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/10/41217379/google-must-open-play-store-to-competitors-judge-orders">the antitrust verdict</a>, Alphabet Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google has made moves to halt changes proposed by Epic Games.
What Happened: In a blog post on Monday, Google said that it is appealing the court&#8217;s decision which requires it to open its Play Store to third-party marketplaces.
Google is also requesting the court to suspend the Fortnite-maker&#8217;s demands to distribute competing app stores and modify its payment system.
This approach mirrors Apple Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) tactics during its legal dispute with Epic last year.

The tech giant argued that the ruling contradicts another court&#8217;s dismissal of similar claims Epic lodged against Apple.
In its appeal, Google will contend that Android is not a standalone market but is in direct competition with Apple&#8217;s iOS. 
&#8220;Android has helped expand choice, reduce prices and democratize access to smartphones and apps. The initial decision and today's Epic-requested changes put that at risk and undercut Android's ability to compete with Apple's iOS,&#8221; the company said.

Epic alleged that the two tech giants conspired to shield the Google Play Store from competition, significantly limiting consumer choice.
The lawsuit centers on Samsung's Auto Blocker feature, which Epic claims was designed to deter users from downloading apps from sources other than Google's Play Store or Samsung's Galaxy Store.
In response to the lawsuit, Samsung released a statement rejecting Epic's allegations as without merit.

Google Will Continue To Fight Epic Games In Court To Halt Epic-Requested Changes To Play Store: 'Undercut Android's Ability To Compete With Apple's iOS'

Tucker Carlson shared an interview with Elon Musk on Monday, in which the owner of X and the CEO of SpaceX and Tesla touched on the topic of Jeffrey Epstein and his client list. He also talked about Sean John Combs, also known by his stage name &#8220;Diddy.&#8221; 
What Happened: In the interview, Musk suggested that certain billionaires are backing Kamala Harris due to their fear of Donald Trump releasing the Epstein Client list. &#8220;Some of those billionaires behind Kamala are terrified of a Trump win,&#8221; Musk said. He also implied that venture capitalist Reid Hoffman and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates are among those feeling uneasy.
Musk told Carlson &#8220;I&#8217;d like to see a matchup of the top 100 puppet masters [of Kamala Harris] and the Epstein client list.&#8221; The entrepreneur suggested that there is a strong overlap between the two lists.
He said that it was &#8220;mindblowing&#8221; that they&#8217;ve not tried to prosecute even one person on the Epstein client list. &#8220;Not even the worst offender on the Epstein client list,&#8221; said Musk.
Musk contrasted this with the January 6. rioters and their treatment. He said 500-600 of &#8220;protestors&#8221; were imprisoned.
&#8220;I think a part of why Kamala is getting so much support is that if Trump wins that Epstein client list is about to become public and some of the billionaires behind Kamala are terrified of that outcome.&#8221;
He was then asked if Hoffman was uncomfortable, to which he replied, &#8220;Yes, and Gates.&#8221; 
Musk also told Carlson that there were thousands of hours of video footage involving various people between Epstein and Diddy. He said that the rooms on Epstein&#8217;s island were wired for video.
