There’s chilling new details emerging about the Buffalo mass shooting incident today, with the U.S. Justice Department filing federal hate crimes against Payton Gendron

The white supremacist is accused of killing 10 Black people in Buffalo, New York last month.

The new charges outline a number of new horrifying details from the incident, including when Gendron turned to a white male victim who had been shot, before saying “sorry”.

The individual says his actions were driven by a desire to “prevent Black people from replacing white people.”

U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland travelled to the shooting site on Wednesday, and says the Justice Department will be relentless in its efforts to combat hate crimes and support communities terrorised by them.

18-year-old Gendron could potentially face the death penalty if found guilty, and also faces the possibility of life in prison without parole on charges.

These charges include first- and second-degree murder and domestic terrorism motivated by hate, all of which he has pleaded not guilty to.

Gendron allegedly killed 10 people and wounded three when he stormed into a supermarket in a predominately Black neighbourhood before surrendering to police.

Investors are buzzing as SpaceX gears up for a potential IPO, aiming to raise more than $25 billion, possibly as soon as June. The offering could value the company at over $1 trillion, fueling Musk’s ambitious plans for Mars and beyond.

Despite the high-risk nature of space ventures, demand from retail investors is expected to be strong. Experts predict this IPO could become historic, with the company’s market value potentially soaring past $2 trillion once it launches.

Musk’s unconventional management style hasn’t slowed investor enthusiasm, even amidst regulatory hurdles. The funds raised could also support groundbreaking innovations, including energy-efficient space data centers.

Disney invests $1 billion in OpenAI for AI-generated videos featuring iconic characters, enhancing fan interactions and launching in 2026.

Disney is taking AI to the next level, investing $1 billion in OpenAI to create a licensing deal that allows users to generate videos featuring more than 200 characters from Disney, Marvel, Star Wars, and Pixar. This partnership could redefine how fans interact with their favorite characters.

The deal will let users stream short AI-generated videos directly on Disney+, and ChatGPT will also produce images of Disney’s licensed characters. However, the agreement excludes talent likenesses or voices, keeping human performances separate.

Set to launch in 2026, the collaboration also gives Disney warrants to purchase additional OpenAI equity and use AI tools for product development, opening doors to new creative opportunities.
