Tesla Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) gigafactory in Nevada built a thousand Powerwall energy storage devices in a single day marking a new milestone, the EV giant announced on Tuesday.
What Happened: &#8220;Congrats to the Tesla Nevada team on building 1000 Powerwalls in a single day,&#8221; Tesla wrote on its official X handle dedicated to updates on the company&#8217;s energy generation and storage segment.
Company CEO Elon Musk also congratulated the team at Giga Nevada on the milestone. 
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Congratulations Tesla Powerwall team! These will make a big difference around the world. With a Powerwall, your home or business has guaranteed continuous power during utility blackouts or brownouts. Add solar to your roof and/or nearby ground and you can operate off grid.… <a href="https://t.co/DB7vTnNwl6">https://t.co/DB7vTnNwl6</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>

Powerwall is a powerful home battery that stores solar energy for use when the grid goes down. The company has previously said that it has the capacity to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40145508/tesla-says-it-can-make-one-powerwall-3-every-25-seconds-ceo-elon-musk-terms-it-a-great-product" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">build a Powerwall 3- the latest iteration of the product- every 25 seconds</a>, or more than 700,000 units per year.
Tesla's gigafactory in Nevada makes electric motors, vehicle powertrains, and batteries in addition to energy storage products. The company is looking to expand the factory further with a 100 GWh 4680 cell factory and a high-volume Tesla Semi factory.
Why It Matters:&nbsp;In the three months through the end of September, Tesla's energy generation and storage revenue<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41537560/teslas-energy-segment-boom-in-q3-sparks-leadership-changes-veteran-mike-snyder-promoted-as-vp"> touched $2,376 million</a>, marking a growth of 52% as compared to the corresponding period of last year. The energy business achieved a record gross margin of 30.5% and the powerwall product achieved record deployments.
Tesla manufactures two energy storage products- the Powerwall and the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41737630/tesla-makes-10-000th-megapack-at-california-as-energy-segment-booms">powerful battery called Megapack.</a>
Tesla currently operates a Megafactory in Lathrop, California, capable of making 10,000 Megapack units in a year. The company is also putting up a Megafactory in Shanghai which it expects to start shipping Megapacks in the first quarter of 2025.
For 2024, Tesla now expects to deploy more than twice the energy storage deployed last year, or over 29.4 GWh of energy storage.

Kraft Heinz Co (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KHC#NASDAQ">KHC</a>) announced Tuesday that it is discontinuing the Lunchables meals it created for U.S. schools, introduced for the 2023-2024 academic year. 
What Happened: The meals, designed to meet school nutrition standards with reduced saturated fat and sodium, were criticized by nutritionists and advocacy groups, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/lunchables-removed-national-school-lunch-program-a4a97b8c85932ba28fb9de22f1f82abe">reported</a> the Associated Press. 
Consumer Reports raised concerns about their high sodium content and lead levels compared to other meals. Kraft Heinz cited low demand for the products, which made up less than 1% of overall Lunchables sales. 
The company said the decision had a &#8220;negligible&#8221; business impact but may revisit school offerings in the future.
Price Action: Kraft Heinz closed at $32.00 on Tuesday, down by 1.63%, for the day. In after-hours trading, the stock gained 0.25%.

Ross Ulbricht, the creator of the online illegal drug marketplace Silk Road, thanked those who voted for Donald Trump for his cause, hoping that the President-elect would commute his sentence
What Happened: On Tuesday, Ulbricht, who has been serving a double life sentence since 2013 for his part in creating the infamous darknet website, wrote on X, &#8220;Immense gratitude to everyone who voted for President Trump on my behalf. I trust him to honor his pledge and give me a second chance.&#8221;
Ulbricht hoped to see the &#8220;light of freedom at the end of the tunnel&#8221; with Trump&#8217;s elevation as president.

Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and SoftBank Group (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>) announced a partnership on Tuesday to establish Japan&#8217;s most powerful artificial intelligence supercomputer, marking a significant step in the country&#8217;s push to become a global AI powerhouse.
What Happened: The collaboration unveiled at the Nvidia AI Summit Japan, centers on SoftBank&#8217;s implementation of Nvidia&#8217;s advanced Blackwell platform and plans to utilize the Nvidia Grace Blackwell platform for future supercomputing initiatives.
&#8220;Japan has a long history of pioneering technological innovations with global impact,&#8221; said Jensen Huang, Nvidia&#8217;s founder and CEO. &#8220;With SoftBank&#8217;s significant investment in Nvidia&#8217;s full-stack AI, Omniverse and 5G AI-RAN platforms, Japan is leaping into the AI industrial revolution.&#8221;
SoftBank has successfully piloted the world&#8217;s first combined AI and 5G telecom network using Nvidia&#8217;s AI Aerial platform. This innovation could potentially generate billions in new revenue for global telecom operators by transforming base stations from cost centers into AI revenue-producing assets.
&#8220;Countries and regions worldwide are accelerating the adoption of AI for social and economic growth,&#8221; said Junichi Miyakawa, SoftBank&#8217;s president and CEO. &#8220;Through our long collaboration with Nvidia, SoftBank is leading this transformation from the forefront.&#8221;
The partnership includes several key initiatives:
<ul>
<li>SoftBank will receive the world&#8217;s first Nvidia DGX B200 systems for its new DGX SuperPOD supercomputer</li>
<li>Development of an AI marketplace using Nvidia AI Enterprise software</li>
<li>Implementation of Nvidia&#8217;s AI-RAN solution, which SoftBank estimates can reduce power consumption by 40% compared to traditional 5G infrastructure</li>
</ul>

Why It Matters: The collaboration represents a strategic shift for both companies, with SoftBank estimating potential returns of up to 219% for each AI-RAN server added to its infrastructure. The company plans to begin global deployment of its AI-RAN solution, dubbed &#8220;AITRAS,&#8221; in 2026.
This partnership follows SoftBank&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/39743441/after-losing-150b-nvidia-opportunity-masayoshi-sons-softbank-acquires-uk-chipmaker-graphcore-in-">recent moves in the AI sector</a>, including its $960 million investment commitment for developing Japanese-language AI models and its acquisition of UK-based chipmaker Graphcore.
The initiative is expected to accelerate Japan&#8217;s position in the global AI race while providing new opportunities for telecommunications, transportation, robotics, and healthcare industries.

Nvidia And SoftBank To Build Japan's Top AI Supercomputer On Blackwell Platform — Jensen Huang Says Tokyo Is 'Leaping Into The AI Industrial Revolution'

Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, predicts <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40596442/nearly-half-of-openais-agi-safety-researchers-resign-amid-growing-focus-on-commercial-product-develo">AGI could become</a> a reality by 2026 or 2027 but warns that external factors may delay progress.
What Happened: In a conversation with Lex Fridman released on Tuesday, Amodei delved into the future of AI and humanity, with a particular emphasis on AGI development.
He proposed that if the current pace of AI capabilities persists, AGI could be actualized within the next two to three years. Nonetheless, Amodei also warned that this timeline is not definitive.
He pointed out potential roadblocks such as data scarcity, the inability to scale clusters, and geopolitical issues that could affect the production of GPUs.

Despite these potential obstacles, Amodei remained hopeful about the future of AGI. He noted that the number of convincing reasons why AGI won&#8217;t materialize in the next few years is swiftly dwindling.
However, he stressed that these predictions are not scientific laws but empirical regularities. &#8220;I am going to bet in favor of them continuing, but I'm not certain of that,&#8221; he stated.

Why It Matters: The prediction by Amodei aligns with the views of other industry leaders.&nbsp;Previously, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman predicted&nbsp;that AGI could arrive as early as 2025.
Altman made the prediction in an interview with Y Combinator, stating that it has now become an engineering challenge.
Earlier in May, Altman expressed a firm commitment to AGI development, regardless of the financial cost. &#8220;Whether we burn $500 million, $5 billion, or $50 billion a year, I don&#8217;t care,&#8221; he stated at the time.
Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) lacks a universally accepted definition. While one common definition suggests AGI should be as capable as humans across all areas, other perspectives add layers to this concept, <a href="https://www.tomsguide.com/ai/chatgpt/sam-altman-claims-agi-is-coming-in-2025-and-machines-will-be-able-to-think-like-humans-when-it-happens">according</a> to Tom&#8217;s Guide.
Some definitions of AGI also highlight the ability to learn, adapt, and perform tasks in ways that resemble human intelligence, going beyond simple knowledge processing.
This would require AGI to generate output independently, extending beyond its initial training data.

Anthropic CEO Says AI Similar To Human Intelligence Could Be Around The Corner: 'We'll Get There By 2026 Or 2027'

Dog-themed meme coins topped the price charts Tuesday, with the lesser-known ones outperforming the heavyweights.&nbsp;
What happened: A gravity-defying rally saw Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>)&#8211;based Bonk pump 30% in the last 24 hours, propelling it to the top of the daily gainer list.
The canine coin's trading volume surged over 230% in the last 24 hours to $2.40 billion.
With the latest uptick, Bonk's weekly gains swelled to 53% as the cryptocurrency swiftly approached its all-time highs set in late May.

Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>)-based Floki was the second-best performing meme coin on the day, rising over 7% in value, with buy/sell volume nearly doubling in the 24-hour period.&nbsp;
The coin, named after Elon Musk&#8217;s Shiba Inu dog, was up over 40% since Donald Trump secured a victory in the presidential race.

DOGE, despite riding on Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy's <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">official appointment</a> to the Department of Government Efficiency, was up just 3.41% in the last 24 hours. That said, the "original meme coin" has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of the Trump rally, rising 78% over the week, and over 232% in the last month.
SHIB, in contrast, was down nearly 7% in the 24-hour period, with its weekly gains narrowing to 27%.
The broader meme coin market capitalization rose from $102.11 billion to $104.11 billion, reflecting an increase of 2%.

Bonk, Floki Drive Meme Coin Gains As Dogecoin, Shiba Inu Take Back Seat

Tesla Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) shares fell 6% Tuesday as part of a broader market rebalancing of stocks that have rallied on President-elect Donald Trump&#8217;s campaign momentum, with The Future Fund LLC, Managing Partner Gary Black providing analysis of 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">move and valuation concerns</a>.
What Happened: The decline comes as hedge funds rebalance positions after Tesla shares surged 36% since November, significantly outpacing the Nasdaq 100&#8217;s 4% gain during the same period. Black noted that Tesla&#8217;s forward earnings estimates have remained largely unchanged, with fiscal year 2025 and 2029 projections increasing by less than 1%.
&#8220;Many hedge funds with big gains will rebalance positions when a position size gets out of whack with model allocations,&#8221; Black wrote on X, formerly Twitter. He emphasized that while having a supportive president could streamline robotaxi deployment approvals, it wouldn&#8217;t necessarily improve Tesla&#8217;s Full Self-Driving technology capabilities.
The stock&#8217;s current valuation of 104 times projected 2025 earnings puts pressure on Tesla to meet CEO Elon Musk&#8216;s guidance of 20-30% volume growth in fiscal year 2025. This multiple significantly exceeds Tesla&#8217;s three-year average forward price-to-earnings ratio of 55.
Black remains optimistic about Tesla&#8217;s growth targets, citing the planned launch of a $25,000-$30,000 vehicle in the first half of 2025. &#8220;We see FY&#8217;25 delivery growth of 20-30% as achievable assuming the new vehicle expands Tesla&#8217;s total addressable market to the compact category,&#8221; he stated.

Why It Matters: The analysis comes amid broader developments for Tesla, including Musk&#8217;s new role in the Trump administration. Trump announced plans to appoint Musk to lead a new Department of Government Efficiency, aimed at <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">streamlining federal operations</a>.

Price Action: Tesla&#8217;s stock closed at $328.64 on Tuesday, down 6.10% for the day. In after-hours trading, the stock dipped a further 1.02%.

Tesla Falls 6% As Hedge Funds Carry Out 'Trump Trade' Rebalancing, Gary Black Says President-Elect Could Help Secure Robotaxi Approvals

Asset management giant&nbsp;Ark Invest was optimistic about the positive impact of the incoming Donald Trump administration on the cryptocurrency industry in the U.S.
What Happened: In the weekly newsletter shared Monday, the Cathie Wood-led firm Ark Invest stated that Trump&#8217;s policies could provide &#8220;significant tailwinds&#8221; for the digital asset industry and bring about &#8220;much needed&#8221; clarity around regulations.
The firm saw the possibility of a more cryptocurrency-friendly SEC and the end of current Chair Gary Gensler's "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/41009150/gary-gensler-led-sec-moved-forward-with-enforcing-crypto-regulation-despite-legal-problems">regulation by enforcement&#8221;</a> policy.
Ark Invest also highlighted the potential for the reopening of the initial public offering (IPO) window for late-stage digital asset companies like Circle and Kraken, and the passage of long-awaited digital assets legislations like the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/05/39004550/exclusive-all-you-need-to-know-about-the-fit21-crypto-bill"> Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act</a> (FIT21) and the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/06/39211057/jpmorgan-us-crypto-regulations-signal-opposition-to-cbdcs-and-non-compliant-stablecoins">Clarity for Payment Stablecoins Act </a>of 2023

Circle, the issuer of stablecoin USD Coin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDC</a>), <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/22/12/29960589/circle-and-spac-abandon-plan-to-issue-ipo-ceo-calls-it-disappointing-whats-next">confidentially filed</a> for an IPO earlier in January. However a June <a href="https://www.barrons.com/amp/articles/sec-circle-coinbase-stablecoin-usdc-ipo-7894f904">report</a> by the financial news outlet Barron's revealed the SEC&#8217;s reservations about the company&#8217;s core product, potentially impacting the listing.
As far as Kraken was concerned, the cryptocurrency exchange <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-06-06/crypto-exchange-kraken-said-to-be-in-talks-for-pre-ipo-fund-raising-round">raised </a>$100 million as part of a pre-IPO funding round in June, according to a Bloomberg report.

Why It Matters: These observations from Ark Invest come in the backdrop of Wood, the company&#8217;s founder and CEO, supporting Sen.&nbsp;Cynthia Lummis&#8217;&nbsp;(R-Wyo.) plan to establish a U.S. strategic&nbsp;Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) reserve.

Wood is a known Bitcoin bull and in the past has projected, well, unrealistic price targets for the cryptocurrency.
She projected the top cryptocurrency to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/07/39865003/bitcoin-could-soar-5-837-by-2030-according-to-cathie-wood-why-that-is-a-bold-prediction" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">swell to a per-unit price of $3.8 million by 2030</a>.

Cathie Wood-Led Ark Sees Boost For Bitcoin, Crypto Under Trump Administration, Says IPO Window For Circle, Kraken Could Reopen

Amgen Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMGN#NASDAQ">AMGN</a>) stock dropped over 7% on Tuesday following revelations about bone density loss in early trials of its experimental obesity drug MariTide, while CNBC&#8217;s Jim Cramer suggested the news could benefit rival Eli Lilly And Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>).
What Happened: Previously undisclosed data from MariTide&#8217;s Phase 1 trial showed a 4% decrease in bone mineral density among participants receiving a 420mg dose during the 12-week multiple ascending dose study. According to Olivia Brayer of Cantor Fitzgerald, the information emerged from hidden tabs in extended data files related to the trial.
MariTide, positioned as a monthly alternative to weekly injections offered by competitors Novo Nordisk (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVO#NYSE">NVO</a>) and Eli Lilly, operates through a different weight loss mechanism. The drug&#8217;s development has attracted significant attention due to its potential to disrupt the growing obesity treatment market.
&#8220;If Amgen has hidden bone risk data for its obesity drug, that&#8217;s huge news for Lilly which has become a pathetic stock of late,&#8221; Cramer wrote on X, formerly Twitter, announcing plans to discuss the implications at an upcoming meeting.

Why It Matters: Despite concerns, Cantor Fitzgerald maintained its Overweight rating on Amgen with a $405 price target. The firm acknowledged that while some bone density loss is expected during weight loss treatments, particularly with a suboptimal diet, the dose-dependent increase in bone density loss could raise red flags.
The analysis also revealed data about AMG 598, a predecessor molecule that Amgen may have been investigating to challenge assumptions about GIPR antagonism&#8217;s role in bone density loss.
Price Action: Eli Lilly stock closed at $818.86 on Tuesday, down 1.63% for the day, with a slight drop of 0.10% in after-hours trading. Despite this, the stock has seen a strong 38.27% increase year-to-date. 
Meanwhile, Amgen ended the day at $298.84, down 7.14%. However, it saw a slight recovery after hours, rising 0.61%. Amgen's stock has gained 0.49% year-to-date, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Jim Cramer Says Eli Lilly's 'Pathetic' Stock Performance Could Get A Breather If Amgen Has Hidden Bone Risk Data After 7% Stock Drop

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) reportedly plans to unveil a new AI wall tablet to challenge Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) in the smart home race.
What Happened: Apple's device, codenamed J490, can control appliances, handle video calls, and leverage AI to navigate apps.
The device is expected to be announced as early as March and will serve as a home command center, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-11-12/apple-home-hub-detailed-apple-intelligence-homeos-square-ipad-like-design">reported</a> Bloomberg, citing people with knowledge of the effort.
