The low-key approach appeared designed to limit outside scrutiny of Tesla's latest autonomous vehicle product.

NBA suspends Steve Ballmer one year over Kawhi Leonard endorsement deal scandal

NBA has suspended Los Angeles Clippers owner Steve Ballmer for one year following an investigation into a $28 million endorsement deal involving star player Kawhi Leonard. The league also fined the Clippers $30 million and stripped the team of five future draft picks as part of broader penalties. A 35-page report commissioned by the NBA and prepared by law firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz found that Ballmer's prior public denials of the team's involvement were 'inaccurate at best' and 'clearly false.' Ballmer had stated in a September ESPN interview that the Clippers had no role in the deal, which involved no actual endorsement activity. The scandal centers on allegations of corruption tied to the endorsement arrangement and the team's arena jumbotron operations.

Primate Diarrhea Outbreak Yields Breakthrough Data for Shigella Vaccine

A natural diarrhea outbreak among 150 research primates has unexpectedly generated valuable scientific data on Shigella, a dangerous bacterial infection. The incident occurred in a laboratory setting, where the large number of affected animals created an unplanned but information-rich study environment. Researchers were able to analyze immune responses and disease progression across a significant primate population simultaneously. The data collected has given scientists clearer targets to pursue in the development of an effective Shigella vaccine. Shigella causes severe diarrheal illness worldwide and has long been a priority for vaccine researchers due to its global health burden.

New Jersey asks Supreme Court to classify Kalshi sports contracts as gambling

New Jersey has urged the U.S. Supreme Court to rule that prediction market platform Kalshi's sports event contracts constitute gambling rather than financial 'swaps.' The case centers on whether such contracts fall under federal commodities law, which would shield them from state gambling regulations. A circuit split between federal appeals courts has increased the likelihood that the Supreme Court will take up the case. The outcome could determine whether states retain authority to regulate sports prediction markets or whether federal oversight preempts them.
