<a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/dea-says-it-didnt-conspire-with-anti-marijuana-group-dismissing-allegedly-illegal-talks-as-gossip/">https://www.marijuanamoment.net/dea-says-it-didnt-conspire-with-anti-marijuana-group-dismissing-allegedly-illegal-talks-as-gossip/</a>
The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the prohibitionist group Smart Approaches to Marijuana (SAM) have categorically denied allegations that they illegally conspired together during the Biden administration's marijuana rescheduling process.
In a response to a motion seeking to remove DEA from the rescheduling proceedings over alleged ex parte communications with SAM, the agency on Monday said it "unequivocally denies" the charge and requested a dismissal of the motion from Hemp for Victory and Village Farms International.
"Movants' own evidence fails to demonstrate that any unlawful ex parte communication took place," DEA said in its brief with the administrative law judge (ALJ) overseeing the case. "The Movants would have this tribunal embark on a fishing expedition in search of evidence to support these sweeping, unsupported claims, which at best can be categorized as gossip, not ex parte communications."
The original filing included screenshots of social media posts where the group's president, Kevin Sabet, indicated he had private conversations with DEA officials about the rescheduling effort as SAM rallied opposition to the reform and urged the agency to keep marijuana in Schedule I.
One week prior to DOJ's publication of the proposed rule, Sabet posted on X that he could confirm DEA Administrator Anne Milgram wouldn't sign the notice, citing "two confidential sources inside DEA and another outside DEA with intimate knowledge."
The agency said that doesn't amount to ex parte communications, however.
"The tribunal correctly questions the seriousness of the remedies sought by the Movants and as such, should deny the motion," it said in the new filing, referring to comments from the judge last week. DEA added that the cannabis organizations behind the motion failed to "identify any precedent that would support removing an agency from its own rulemaking process."
"The only authority cited by the Movants on this point simply supports the notion that specific individuals may be removed from the proceeding under the appropriate circumstances," it said, pointing out that there is no accusation of any wrongdoing by DEA attorneys involved in the current proceedings on rescheduling. "In short, the Movants' arguments are completely without merit."
SAM also filed a response with the ALJ on Monday, arguing that the allegations "fail on their face to suggest any improper contacts between SAM and the DEA," and therefore they "can and should be quickly dispensed with by this Tribunal."
The organization asserted that, statutorily, unlawful ex parte communications would need to have occurred after the Justice Department posted its notice of proposed rulemaking, which is not explicitly alleged in the original motion.
"Standing alone, that deficiency itself is sufficient to dismiss Movants' speculation about supposed improper contacts," it said.
SAM also cited media reports from outlets including Marijuana Moment and The Wall Street Journal, as well as social media posts from supporters of the rescheduling effort, that contained information about the process that had not yet been made publicly available. It argued that such reporting undermined the allegation that Sabet's communications were uniquely improper.
"In short, the Motion is a transparent effort to smear both SAM and the DEA in an attempt to eliminate from this proceeding one of the strongest voices opposing rescheduling of marijuana," SAM said. "The Tribunal should deny Movants' invitation to create a sideshow requiring SAM and its counsel to expend more time and funds defending against unfounded attacks and instead should permit SAM to focus on the merits of these proceedings."
After the motion was filed with DEA ALJ John Mulrooney, <a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/dea-judge-gives-agency-one-week-to-address-allegations-of-illegal-talks-with-marijuana-opponents-amid-rescheduling-process/">the judge invited both the agency</a> <a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/dea-judge-invites-prohibitionist-group-to-explain-allegedly-unlawful-talks-with-agency-amid-marijuana-rescheduling-review/">and SAM to respond</a>, calling the nature of the alleged illegal communications "serious."
This comes just weeks before an initial December 2 hearing before the ALJ on the government's proposal to move marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA).
In a historic first, it was Attorney General Merrick Garland—and not DEA's Milgram—who signed the proposed rule to reschedule cannabis. The original motion said that fact, as well as DEA's apparent indecision on the proposed rule, warranted a change in the hearing structure.
The judge, in turn, said that the prospect of removing an agency head from rulemaking that it is responsible for overseeing would likely, "and correctly," be deemed beyond the ALJ office's jurisdiction.
Last week, Mulrooney officially ruled on <a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/dea-judge-issues-order-approving-and-denying-witnesses-for-marijuana-rescheduling-hearing-and-laying-out-next-steps/">which of the agency's 25 selected witnesses for the hearing will be able to participate</a>, while laying out the procedure for the administrative process—including how pro- and anti-reform speakers will be able to cross-examine one another.
Separately, the judge last week <a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/researcher-asks-dea-judge-to-postpone-marijuana-rescheduling-hearing-until-after-trump-takes-over/">denied a request from a cannabis and psychedelics researcher</a> to postpone the upcoming rescheduling hearing over the agency's alleged "improper blocking" of witnesses, while arguing that the process should be halted at least until President-elect Donald Trump's administration comes into power so it can review the rulemaking.
Mulrooney also <a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/dea-judge-rejects-veterans-groups-petition-to-participate-in-marijuana-rescheduling-hearing/">rejected a veterans group's petition to participate in the rescheduling hearing</a>, which the organization called a "travesty of justice" that excludes key voices that would be affected by the potential policy change.
For what it's worth, Vice President Kamala Harris said recently that part of the reason for the delay in the administration's marijuana rescheduling effort is&nbsp;<a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/kamala-harris-blames-marijuana-rescheduling-delay-on-dea-bureaucracy-while-defending-her-own-prosecutorial-record/">federal bureaucracy that "slows things down," including at DEA.</a>
In March, Harris also expressed some frustration with the bureaucratic process of rescheduling marijuana, prior to DOJ's formal recommendation,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/watch-live-vp-harris-talks-marijuana-ahead-of-white-house-meeting-with-cannabis-pardon-recipients/">calling on DEA to expediently finish the job</a>.
While the Biden–Harris administration facilitated the review that led to the DOJ rescheduling proposal, Trump has also voiced support for the reform.
In Congress, numerous lawmakers have shared their own perspectives on the proposed reform with DEA and DOJ since the Schedule III announcement was made.
In August, for example, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA)&nbsp;<a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/gop-senator-demands-answers-on-rush-to-reschedule-marijuana-from-top-biden-administration-officials/">raised concerns about the Biden administration's justification</a>&nbsp;for recommending marijuana rescheduling, demanding answers to questions from federal agencies about how they arrived at that decision in what he described as a rushed and unconventional administrative process.
A week earlier, top Democratic senators—including&nbsp; Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY)—sent a separate letter to DOJ's Garland and DEA's Milgram urging the agencies to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/schumer-booker-and-other-senators-push-dea-to-promptly-finalize-marijuana-rescheduling/">"promptly finalize" the rule to reschedule marijuana</a>.
While rescheduling would remove certain research barriers and free up state-licensed cannabis business to take federal tax deductions under the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) code known as 280E, it would not federally legalize marijuana, as the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/marijuana-businesses-could-advertise-in-newspapers-and-magazines-if-rescheduling-is-approved-congressional-researchers-say/">Congressional Research Service (CRS) has made known in multiple recent reports</a>.
Meanwhile, two additional congressional lawmakers have joined the ranks of GOP members who are challenging what they say is&nbsp;<a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/gop-lawmakers-demand-answers-from-biden-administration-about-unusual-marijuana-review-process-behind-rescheduling-push/">the "unusual" process that led the Biden administration to propose rescheduling marijuana</a>, expressing concern about how the review was carried out and demanding answers.
Rep. Doug LaMalfa (R-CA)&nbsp;<a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/gop-congressman-says-marijuana-rescheduling-and-banking-reform-would-prop-up-an-immoral-industry/">condemned the Biden administration's push to reclassify marijuana</a>, as well as legislative efforts to enact bipartisan cannabis banking reform, because he says the policy changes would "prop up this immoral industry" and give a "green light to the evil that comes from drug use."
Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) also blasted the Biden administration over what he described as&nbsp;<a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/gop-senator-condemns-lack-of-transparency-in-marijuana-rescheduling-process/">repeated refusals from federal agencies to brief Congress</a>&nbsp;on its plans and justification for rescheduling marijuana, which he argues fuels speculation that the proposed policy change is politically motivated.
Similarly, 25 GOP congressional lawmakers sent a public comment letter in July opposing the administration's planned rescheduling of marijuana, specifically alleging&nbsp;<a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/gop-lawmakers-push-justice-department-to-reverse-course-on-marijuana-rescheduling/">the government's recommendation was based on politics rather than science</a>.

As the world hurtles toward an electrified future, the copper market <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/copper">stands at a crossroads</a>. 
Insights from JPMorgan analysts Patrick Jones, Greg Shearer and Bill Peterson paint a complex picture: short-term hurdles for copper prices, but a glittering long-term outlook driven by electric vehicles and evolving supply dynamics.
This could seem as good news for those invested in United States Copper Index Fund ETV (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CPER#NYSE">CPER</a>), Global X Copper Miners ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COPX#NYSE">COPX</a>), iShares Copper and Metals Mining ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ICOP#NASDAQ">ICOP</a>) for the long-term.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">EV Boom: Supercharging Copper Demand</h2>
The electric vehicle revolution is set to electrify copper demand. JPMorgan predicts copper usage in EVs will more than double from 1.4 million metric tons in 2023 to 3 million by 2030. While some worry that technological advances like thinner copper anode foils could dampen demand, the analysts argue otherwise. 
Larger EV sizes and a pivot toward lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) batteries — which are more copper-intensive — are expected to drive long-term growth.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">New Technologies: Leaching A Lifeline?</h2>
Leaching technologies are generating buzz, but can they revolutionize copper supply? Not yet, say the analysts. While projects from major miners like Freeport-McMoRan Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FCX#NYSE">FCX</a>) and BHP Group Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BHP#NYSE">BHP</a>) are on the horizon, these advancements are unlikely to offset supply declines before 2030.
At best, leaching could add 550,000 metric tons annually, just 2% of global supply.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Scrap &amp; Recycling: The Unsung Hero?</h2>
Recycling is a crucial cog in the copper machine, accounting for about 17% of refined supply in 2024, up from 14% in 2020. JPMorgan forecasts scrap supply will grow by 5-6% annually, faster than historical rates, yet insufficient to bridge the long-term deficit. Recycling alone won't solve copper's supply crunch.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Near-Term Risks, Long-Term Rewards</h2>
JPMorgan warns of near-term risks from macroeconomic pressures, particularly a potential devaluation of the Chinese yuan to 7.8 to 8.0 per U.S. dollar. This could lead to a 12-15% dip in copper prices, presenting headwinds for equities. However, the analysts remain bullish on the long-term trajectory, underpinned by a looming supply-demand gap.
Their picks? 
Lundin Mining Corp (OTCPK: LUNMF) leads in EMEA, while Teck Resources Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TECK#NYSE">TECK</a>) tops the Americas. Asia-Pacific favorites include Zijin Mining and Merdeka Copper, with caution advised on Jiangxi Copper and Sandfire Resources.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.

Looking Into Applied Optoelectronics's Recent Short Interest

Pfizer's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PFE#NYSE">PFE</a>) short percent of float has fallen 12.8% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 61.87 million shares sold short, which is 1.09% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.71 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1732559410_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Pfizer has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Pfizer's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Pfizer's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.63%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

(PFE) - Analyzing Pfizer's Short Interest

Linda McMahon is no stranger to working with President-elect Donald Trump and will likely be a member of the new White House administration pending an official nomination <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/restaurants/24/11/42043491/rfk-jr-wants-donald-trump-to-cut-out-mcdonalds-the-stuff-that-he-eats-is-really-like-bad">and Congressional approval.</a>
Here's a look at McMahon's history with Trump and her investing portfolio linked to her long-running history in the sport of wrestling.
What Happened: Most recently serving as the co-chair of Trump's 2024<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/08/40422152/will-trump-body-slam-2024-election-new-transition-team-co-chair-led-wwe-for-decades"> election transition team</a>, McMahon has been announced as Trump's pick to be the next secretary of the Department of Education.
Trump has previously said he wants to do away with the Department of Education, which could put an emphasis on McMahon to eliminate items from the department and pick which items to save and place under other departments.
While McMahon's lack of experience in the education sector is being scrutinized, it would be hard to say that the Trump pick doesn't have success leading businesses.
McMahon helped grow WWE from 1980 to 2009 and is credited with helping to build the brand through product merchandising and television deals, two key items that turned the wrestling and sports venture into one of the largest worldwide.
WWE is now a unit of TKO Group Holdings Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TKO#NYSE">TKO</a>), a sports holding company that also owns the UFC.
Before a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/23/09/34455843/wwe-and-ufc-merge-on-tuesday-heres-what-you-need-to-know">merger with UFC</a> in 2023, WWE had been in the McMahon family for over 70 years.
WWE is not as close to the McMahon family as it once was. Linda's husband and high school sweetheart Vince McMahon stepped away from WWE in 2022 due to an ongoing scandal and later stepped down from a leadership role with TKO Group Holdings in 2024 over sex trafficking lawsuits.
The couple is currently separated, according to <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/21/business/linda-mcmahon-abuse-wwe-trump-education/index.html">CNN</a>.
The McMahons are worth an estimated $3 billion together with the vast majority of the family wealth related to the past interest in WWE and current stakes in TKO Group Holdings.
A report from <a href="https://wrestlenomics.com/articles/2024/who-owns-wwe-after-the-tko-merger-and-before/">Wrestlenomics </a>said Vince McMahon has sold portions of his TKO Group Holdings stock, but Linda McMahon has not sold her stake.
The Washington Post <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/11/19/linda-mcmahon-trump-administration-wwe-allegations/">lists </a>Vince's TKO Group Holdings stake valued at around $950 million and Linda's stake valued at around $67 million.
Linda McMahon currently <a href="https://s3.amazonaws.com/sec.irpass.cc/2660/0001474506-24-000117.pdf">serves </a>as an independent director on the board of directors for Trump Media &amp; Technology Group (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DJT#NASDAQ">DJT</a>), the media company co-founded by Trump.
SEC filings reveal that McMahon does not hold shares of the company and was not paid in 2022 or 2023 for her role as a director. McMahon may receive DJT shares as non-cash compensation "from time to time" according a filing.
If approved as the next Department of Education lead, McMahon is expected to place her financial holdings in a blind trust and resign from board memberships according to her counsel Laura Brevetti.

</ul>
Close Connections to Trump: After leading WWE for many years, McMahon stepped down in 2009 to pursue politics. McMahon ran for a U.S. Senate seat two times, losing in the 2010 and 2012 general elections after securing the Republican Party nomination.
McMahon has been a donor to the Republican Party and past Trump campaigns, which is part of the family's friendship with the president-elect. Trump and Vince's friendship dates back to 1988 when the duo worked together on a Wrestlemania near a Trump-owned casino and a storyline involving the millionaires.
Linda McMahon previously served as the head of the Small Business Administration (SBA) from 2017 to 2019 under Trump, making her one of the few returning faces to the next White House administration under Trump.
McMahon previously stepped down from the SBA to take on a new role as part of his 2020 re-election campaign team. The former wrestling leader has also helped lead a political action committee (PAC) connected to Trump.

<a href="https://www.racefans.net/2024/11/25/cadillac-has-agreement-in-principal-to-enter-f1-in-2026-ben-sulayem/">https://www.racefans.net/2024/11/25/cadillac-has-agreement-in-principal-to-enter-f1-in-2026-ben-sulayem/</a>
&nbsp;
FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem has confirmed Formula 1 is working towards adding an 11th team to the grid for the 2026 season.
Ben Sulayem said the General Motors brand has an "agreement in principle" to join the series.
&nbsp;
The FIA approved an application to enter the world championship from Andretti Global in October last year. However Formula One Management must also give its approval for any new team to join the grid, and it rejected the application earlier this year.
However rumours during the Las Vegas Grand Prix weekend claimed FOM was preparing to announce a reversal of its position which would allow the new entrant to arrive in 2026.
Andretti obtained the backing of General Motors brand Cadillac, which announced it planned to enter as as the team's power unit supplier in 2028. Since then Michael Andretti has stepped down in charge of the Silverstone-based project, prompting speculation Cadillac would rebrand the entire entry.
Ben Sulayem, who <a href="https://www.racefans.net/2023/10/08/fia-president-ben-sulayem-confident-andretti-cadillac-will-join-f1-grid/">said last year he was "confident" the team would join the series</a>, has given the clearest indication yet FOM is seriously considering a U-turn on its opposition to the project.

Wedbush Securities analyst Daniel Ives has significantly increased his optimism on the next phase of the AI revolution, focusing on its transformative impact on the software sector.
The analyst projects a monumental shift driven by generative AI adoption, enterprise consumption, and large language model (LLM) launches. As a result, Ives has upgraded Snowflake Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNOW#NYSE">SNOW</a>) and Elastic NV (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ESTC#NYSE">ESTC</a>) to Outperform and raised price targets for Palantir Technologies Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) and Salesforce Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NYSE">CRM</a>) to reflect their enhanced growth potential.

Ives notes Snowflake has moved past its &#8220;optimization&#8221; phase, citing substantial quarter-over-quarter improvements in product revenue. Snowflake stands to gain from the explosion of AI use cases over the next 12 to 18 months, positioning itself as a pivotal player in the enterprise adoption of generative AI.
The analyst upgraded Snowflake to Outperform, raising its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SNOW/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target to $190</a>, supported by a 30x long-term free cash flow (FCF) estimate.
For Elastic, Ives highlights its strategic alignment with enterprises shifting to next-generation platforms. Customers are consolidating spending by moving from legacy vendors to Elastic&#8217;s AI-powered solutions bolstered by the company&#8217;s express migration program.
Ives upgraded Elastic to Outperform with a new <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ESTC/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target of $135</a>, based on 8x its fiscal year 2026 enterprise value-to-revenue (EV/Revs) ratio.
Ives raised his <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PLTR/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target for</a> Palantir from $57 to $75, leveraging a 38x long-term FCF target. He cites Palantir&#8217;s groundbreaking AIP strategy, which enables enterprises to harness AI across diverse use cases. The company&#8217;s robust product suite is expected to drive unprecedented demand as businesses increasingly recognize its value.
Ives increased his <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CRM/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target for</a> Salesforce from $325 to $375, citing a 28x long-term EBITDA valuation. His research indicates rising customer enthusiasm for Salesforce&#8217;s AI-integrated product offerings, which drive the company&#8217;s next wave of growth.
Ives sees the broader software sector as entering an inflection point, projecting $2 trillion in AI spending in the coming years. With enterprises set to adopt AI at scale by 2025, companies like Snowflake, Elastic, Palantir, and Salesforce are poised to benefit from this unprecedented technological revolution.
Price Actions: SNOW stock is up 3.12% at $172.67 at last check Monday. ESTC is up 3.85%, PLTR is up 0.80% and CRM is down 0.21%.

Pump.fun, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/05/38897152/solana-meme-coin-platform-pump-fun-exploited-for-1-9m-vows-to-repay-users">a decentralized platform</a> for creating Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>)-based meme coins, has come under intense scrutiny after reports of harmful and violent behavior surfaced on its livestream feature.
What Happened: The platform, which has gained popularity in the crypto space, is now facing backlash from the community, with many calling for the livestream function to be disabled altogether until proper moderation tools are in place.
Concerns about the platform escalated on Nov. 25 when a user livestreamed a disturbing incident.
Beau, a Pudgy Penguins safety project manager, <a href="https://x.com/beausecurity/status/1860859118124138610">reported</a> on X (formerly Twitter) that an individual on Pump.fun threatened suicide if their coin failed to reach a specific market capitalization.
Beau urged the platform to intervene immediately, disable the livestream and offer support to the individual.
Other alarming incidents include a user allegedly firing a gun out of a window each time their meme coin&#8217;s value increased, and a child threatening harm to family members if a token price goal wasn't met. 
One of the most distressing reports involved a user claiming they would carry out a school shooting if their coin didn't pump. 
Community members labeled the livestream feature a "pipeline of felonies," with many urging Pump.fun to shut it down until better safeguards are introduced.
The platform's livestream feature has become a flashpoint for criticism. 
One X user commented, "Turning on a camera to showcase your own depravity to the world isn't noble or novel," emphasizing the need for immediate deactivation of the feature.

Why It Matters: The concerns are reflected in Polymarket predictions, where users are actively betting on whether Pump.fun will disable its livestream feature by Friday.
The prediction market <a href="https://polymarket.com/event/pumpfun-ends-livestreaming-by-friday?tid=1732551799626">indicates</a> only a 21% chance the livestream will be shut down by Friday, highlighting skepticism about the platform's ability to act swiftly in addressing these issues.
Alon, the pseudonymous leader of Pump.fun, <a href="https://x.com/a1lon9/status/1860036153249787911">defended</a> the platform's moderation efforts while acknowledging the community's concerns.
"We have a large team of moderators working around the clock and an internal team of engineers dealing with increased scale," Alon said. 
He stressed that moderation has been a priority since the platform's inception and assured users that harmful content is being addressed.
Despite these assurances, critics argue that Pump.fun's measures are insufficient given the severity of the incidents. 
The community continues to demand more transparency and immediate action to prevent harmful broadcasts. 
However, the platform has not disclosed specific plans for additional safeguards or changes to its livestream feature.
