Volvo Cars Adopts Dassault Systèmes' 3DEXPERIENCE Platform To Drive Electric Vehicle Development

In a blog post on Wednesday, Cathie Wood-led ARK Invest has projected that the growth and profitability of AI data centers will remain strong, despite increasing power demand and costs.
What Happened: The blog written by Sam Korus, director of Research Autonomous Technology &amp; Robotics at ARK Invest, indicates that AI companies could partially operate off-grid through independent power generation.
For example, Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has used generators to power xAI&#8217;s data center in Memphis, Tennessee, bypassing full grid interconnection.
ARK estimates that the additional demand from AI data centers will drive the growth in global electricity demand to 3.2% at a compound annual rate through 2030.
This is despite the average growth in electricity production globally being around 2.7% annually for the past five years.

ARK&#8217;s research also suggested that the time required to build new generation and distribution capacity will not be a limiting factor.
Electricity accounts for approximately 9% of total AI data center costs, leaving ample room for companies to invest in expedited, non-grid power solutions without disrupting data center economics.
The research suggested that the incremental capital required to meet the incremental electricity demand would be around $235 billion in 2030, roughly 6% of what ARK expects to be spent on AI hardware that year.

In April 2024, it was reported that if energy efficiency does not improve, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/04/38163078/ai-could-consume-25-of-us-power-by-2030-the-more-information-they-gather-the-more-power-it-takes-war">AI data centers could account</a> for up to a quarter of U.S. power demand by the decade's end.

NFL wide receiver&nbsp;Odell Beckham Jr. took a dig at those who criticized his choice to take his salary in Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) amid the leading cryptocurrency&#8217;s record-shattering rally.
What Happened: On Wednesday, the star player took to X, saying, &#8220;Soooo who said taking my Rams salary in Bitcoin was dumb again?&#8221; Beckham&#8217;s post included a Bitcoin price chart, showing the coin&#8217;s ongoing rally.

Why It Matters: As it turns out, the decision has paid off, as Bitcoin has been hitting new milestones daily, aided by the triumph of cryptocurrency-friendly President-elect Donald Trump. The apex cryptocurrency has surged over 20% since <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/41874288/bitcoin-ethereum-etfs-react-as-btc-surges-past-82k-after-trumps-win">Trump&#8217;s election win</a> last week.

Okung, a two-time NFL Pro Bowl player, is credited with initiating the &#8220;pay me in Bitcoin&#8221; movement with a tweet in 2019. This trend signifies a growing interest among athletes in cryptocurrencies and their potential as a form of payment.

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk on Wednesday hinted at plans to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/the-boring-company">deploy tunneling equipment</a> from The Boring Company to help his dream of enabling a human settlement on Earth&#8217;s neighboring planet Mars.
What Happened: &#8220;Tunnels will be important on Mars,&#8221; Musk said in a post on social media platform X. The CEO was responding to a user who envisioned humans living in an interconnected web of tunnels on Mars owing to the dust storms on the surface.

&#8220;Prufrock fits nicely in the Starship payload bay,&#8221; The Boring Company also wrote on its official X account. Prufrock is the name of the company&#8217;s tunneling equipment. It launches from the surface, mines underground, and resurfaces upon completion, removing the need to excavate pits to launch and retrieve the machine.

The Boring Company was founded by Musk in 2017 as a subsidiary of SpaceX but spun off a year later. The company is currently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39245293/elon-musks-boring-company-is-making-a-tunnel-at-giga-texas-for-transporting-cybertrucks">making underground tunnels or loops</a> aimed at resolving traffic in congested cities. 
Why It Matters: Starship, the key to Musk&#8217;s dreams of taking humans to the Moon and Mars, is currently in the testing and development phase.
In September, Musk said that the first Starship launch to Mars is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40770222/elon-musk-sets-2026-for-starships-first-uncrewed-mars-mission-targeting-successful-landing">expected in 2026 </a>and that it will not have a crew on board. Provided that the uncrewed flights do well, the first crewed flights to Mars will be in 4 years, Musk then said, pegging the first crewed Starship flights to Mars for 2028. 
Musk has often reiterated his dreams of taking humans to Mars and building a self-sustaining city on the red planet. The CEO in September said that the company is now eyeing building a self-sustaining Martian city in about 20 years.
However, Starship has had only five test flights to date and is yet to carry any payload to space. Its next and sixth flight is expected <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41796966/spacexs-starship-to-fly-again-in-less-than-2-weeks">as early as Nov. 18.</a>

Just Eat Takeaway Sells Grubhub To Wonder For $650M, Marking Strategic Exit From US Market

NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) CEO Jensen Huang on Wednesday said that he passed on an opportunity to acquire full ownership of the chipmaker, now valued at $3.6 trillion when SoftBank Group&#8216;s (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBF#OTC">SFTBF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBY#OTC">SFTBY</a>) Masayoshi Son offered financial backing years ago.
What Happened: During a candid exchange at Nvidia&#8217;s AI summit in Tokyo, Huang revealed that Son approached him about a decade ago with an offer to help finance a complete buyout of Nvidia, believing the stock market undervalued the company at the time.
&#8220;Now I regret not taking you up,&#8221; Huang told Son during their public conversation. &#8220;That was a great idea.&#8221;
The conversation took a lighter turn when Son playfully pretended to cry on Huang&#8217;s shoulder after discussing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/06/39429393/regret-missing-out-on-nvidia-rally-youre-not-alone-as-softbanks-masayoshi-son-laments-157b-lost-">SoftBank&#8217;s early exit from Nvidia investments</a>. &#8220;We can cry together,&#8221; Huang joked. &#8220;Could you imagine if today, you were the largest shareholder?&#8221;

Why It Matters: Nvidia&#8217;s remarkable ascent has been fueled by the artificial intelligence boom, with the company&#8217;s chips playing a crucial role in powering AI technologies. The company&#8217;s stock has surged nearly 200% this year alone, propelling Huang&#8217;s net worth to $128 billion and making him the 11th richest person globally, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
The discussion preceded the announcement of a new <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/41929194/nvidia-and-softbank-to-build-japans-top-ai-supercomputer-on-blackwell-platform-jensen-huang-says-tokyo-is-leaping-into-the-ai-industrial-revolution">partnership between Nvidia and SoftBank</a> to develop Japan&#8217;s most powerful AI supercomputer, marking a significant development in Japan&#8217;s AI infrastructure expansion.
Son, who ranks 133rd on Bloomberg&#8217;s wealth index with a $15.9 billion fortune, has seen his wealth increase by more than $5 billion this year, though that pales in comparison to what might have been had SoftBank retained its earlier Nvidia investments.

Nvidia's CEO Reveals The Massive Deal He Missed And Why It Is Today A $3.6 Trillion Regret

The Department of Government Efficiency aka DOGE, not Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>), which is going to be formed with Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy at the helm, could be a &#8220;quid-pro-quo riddled with conflicts of interest,&#8221; said the Bill Clinton-era secretary of labor, Robert Reich.
What happened: Reich took to his Instagram and X to question the intentions behind forming this task force. &#8220;It should be clear that this new Department of Government Efficiency for Musk isn&#8217;t actually about efficiency. It&#8217;s simply a quid-pro-quo riddled with conflicts of interest,&#8221; he opined.
Taking a jibe at the President-elect Donald Trump he further said, &#8220;Anything and everything will always be for sale under Trump. Musk is just the latest person to take advantage of this.&#8221;
As per the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/41927289/trump-appoints-elon-musk-and-vivek-ramaswamy-to-lead-doge-targeting-bureaucracy-and-65-trillion-federal-spending-we-will-not-go-gently">notice</a> shared by Trump, the initiative is expected to focus on dismantling bureaucracy, reducing regulations, and cutting wasteful expenditures. The department is scheduled to complete its work by July 4, 2026, coinciding with America&#8217;s 250th independence anniversary.

According to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/20/us/politics/elon-musk-federal-agencies-contracts.html">The New York Times</a>, Musk's businesses, including SpaceX and Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), were scheduled to receive approximately $3 billion in federal contracts from 17 agencies in 2023. Furthermore, his companies have been the subject of at least 20 federal investigations or reviews. These factors have led to concerns about potential conflicts of interest arising from a Musk-led federal commission.
Sharing an NY Times graphic, Reich asked, &#8220;What do you think he&#8217;ll cut first in the name of efficiency — the billions of dollars in government contracts his corporations control or your Social Security and Medicare benefits?&#8221;

Why It Matters: As the department promises to restructure federal agencies and reduce government spending, it is still unclear if the committee would come under the Federal Advisory Committee Act, which dictates how external groups that advise the government must operate and be accountable to the public.
"Since this is not an official Cabinet or US government position and it&#8217;s essentially newly created, there will be NO changes to Musk's CEO roles with Tesla and SpaceX importantly from the Street's perspective," said Wedbush's Dan Ives.
Such external advisory committees have played an important role in shaping federal programs and policies in the past; former presidents Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton established similar task forces. However, it is still ambiguous how President-elect Trump, along with unconventional businessman Elon Musk and former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, will structure and lead this committee.
