Betting on the Election & Elon Musk’s Tech Gamble 10/04/24

The commodities exchange KalshiEx has resumed accepting wagers on the outcome of the 2024 congressional election after a federal appeals court lifted a previous hold.

And, OpenAI announced a major funding achievement, securing $6.6 billion and reaching a post-money valuation of $157 billion, setting a competitive stage against Elon Musk's AI company, xAI. Walter Isaacson, author and Tulane professor, weighs in on the AI technology race between Elon Musk and Sam Altman. Plus, CNBC’s Frank Holland breaks down the significant labor negotiation concluded with U.S. dockworkers and the United States Maritime Alliance reaching a tentative wage agreement, extending their current contract into 2025.
