The Nuts & Bolts of Boeing’s Safety Checks & X Marks the (False) Spot 01/10/24

As the crypto community anxiously awaited the SEC’s decision on spot Bitcoin ETFs, the SEC’s X account tweeted a false start. As of Wednesday morning, the Bitcoin ETFs had not been approved, but the crypto market popped briefly on the fake post. The Iran-backed Houthi militia launched its largest attack yet in the Red Sea. Former NATO Supreme Allied Commander Admiral James Stavridis discusses the latest attack in context with his own history taking on the Somali pirates in the region a decade ago. And Boeing is inspecting 737 Max 9 aircrafts after the Alaska Airlines incident last weekend. Former NTSB investigator Greg Feith explains what safety checks and balances should be in place for the manufacturing giant. Plus, CNBC’s Julia Boorstin is in Las Vegas at the Consumer Electronics Show with the newest tech in autos, beauty, social media, and even refrigerators, and Mark Zuckerberg is in Hawaii, raising beef–literally.
