CNBC&#8217;s Jim Cramer said on Monday that he believes reports of President-elect Donald Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/42028797/tesla-soars-over-5-in-overnight-trading-as-trump-administration-reportedly-seeks-to-ease-fsd-norms">possibly relaxing autonomous driving regulations</a> is a &#8220;bad reason&#8221; for owning Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) stock. However, the Mad Money host is all for buying the EV giant&#8217;s stock.
What Happened: Bloomberg on Sunday reported that the Trump transition team wants to make a federal framework for self-driving cars, making it easier to deploy self-driving vehicles in the country. However, Cramer thinks that it is &#8220;too good to be true&#8221; and a &#8220;bad reason&#8221; for buying Tesla stock.
"While I don't buy the national self-driving mandate, I think nothing truly dulls the case for owning Tesla," <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/11/18/jim-cramer-says-nothing-truly-dulls-the-case-for-owning-tesla-stock.html">he said.</a> "The Musk premium will work its magic in other ways, perhaps favorable municipalities and Tesla rentals next to federal highways."
The Trump transition team&#8217;s plans for robotaxis are &#8220;just plain fanciful,&#8221; Cramer said while noting that several state and local governments would have to agree to the new rules.
"No matter what, though, always remember that Tesla's a tech company," Cramer added. "The others are automakers, and a tech company can get an insanely high price-to-earnings multiple with no one blinking so much as an eye about it."
Why It Matters: Tesla is looking to deploy a fleet of autonomous vehicles starting next year in Texas and California. However, the company has yet to receive regulatory approvals for the same or achieve vehicle autonomy with its full self-driving (FSD) driver assistance technology. 
Musk, however, has previously expressed optimism that the technology will enable autonomous driving with future software updates. However, the billionaire CEO is known for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/07/33477770/elon-musk-has-been-running-on-elon-time-since-he-was-a-kid-i-think-i-do-have-an-issue-with-time-but">providing over-ambitious timelines</a> that the company cannot deliver.
Musk has previously said that Tesla's robotaxi fleet will function like a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38396288/teslas-robotaxi-to-be-called-cybercab-elon-musk-says-self-driving-fleet-will-be-like-combination-of" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">combination of Airbnb and Uber</a>. While a certain portion of the fleet will be owned by Tesla, individual customers can also add or subtract their vehicles to the robotaxi fleet at will. As for riders, they can summon a car using the Tesla App, Musk said, putting Tesla as a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41265000/uber-announces-measures-to-ramp-up-electrification-of-its-fleet-ahead-of-teslas-robotaxi-unveil" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">competitor to Uber.</a>
Price Action: Tesla stock closed 5.6% higher on Monday at $338.74, but it was down 1.2% in premarket trading on Tuesday. Year-to-date, Tesla stock is up 36.4%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) faces heightened scrutiny <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/24/11/42055795/nvidia-shares-to-climb-over-140-levels-says-technical-analyst-ahead-of-q3-results-will-have-to-beat-street-expectations-for-the-trend-to-continue">ahead of its earnings</a> as technical challenges with its latest artificial intelligence chips and broader market pressures raise concerns, according to Mizuho analyst Jordan Klein.
What Happened: Klein, a longtime Nvidia bull, warned investors that the semiconductor giant&#8217;s shares are &#8220;modestly at risk&#8221; following reports of overheating issues in its new Blackwell systems, <a href="https://www.investing.com/news/stock-market-news/biggest-nvidia-bull-on-wall-street-warns-shares-are-modestly-at-risk-3728239?ref=biztoc.com">reported</a> Investing.com. 
The timing is particularly sensitive given Nvidia&#8217;s recent ascent to become the world&#8217;s most valuable company, with a market capitalization of $3.482 trillion.
&#8220;There is just so much quant, passive, and fast momentum money swirling around in markets these days and I assume that style sells first, asks questions later,&#8221; Klein noted in his investor communication, highlighting the volatile nature of current market dynamics.

Why It Matters: The Blackwell chips, unveiled in March and promising 30 times faster performance than previous generations, have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42028342/blackwell-backfires-nvidias-ai-chips-struggle-with-server-overheating-impacting-meta-microsoft-and-musks-xai-data-centers">reportedly encountered thermal issues</a> when installed in high-density server racks.
Major customers potentially affected include Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), and Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) subsidiary Google.
Nvidia has responded to the situation, with a spokesperson telling Reuters that &#8220;engineering iterations are normal and expected&#8221; while working with cloud service providers.
Despite these immediate challenges, Klein maintains his long-term optimistic outlook for Nvidia but cautions about near-term volatility, particularly from retail and momentum-driven investors who &#8220;purely react to headlines and initial stock moves.&#8221;
However, CNBC&#8217;s Jim Cramer offered a contrasting view, suggesting the market&#8217;s reaction might be overdone. &#8220;Be skeptical about the negatives with Nvidia,&#8221; Cramer posted on X. He later <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/11/18/cramer-weighs-nvidia-after-blackwell-ai-chip-overheating-report.html">expanded</a> on CNBC, saying, &#8220;I&#8217;m more inclined to think you&#8217;re getting a buying opportunity in Nvidia thanks to The Information publishing a story that may simply not be that.&#8221;

Google&#8216;s parent company Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) experienced a decline in its stock value during pre-market trading on Tuesday. As per <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>, GOOGL shares fell by 1.02%, while GOOG shares decreased by 1.01%. This downturn follows reports that the U.S. Department of Justice is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/24/11/42053249/google-could-lose-chrome-browser-in-dojs-latest-antitrust-move">preparing to request a court order</a> requiring Google to divest its Chrome browser.
What Happened: The DOJ&#8217;s action stems from an August ruling that found Google guilty of illegally monopolizing the search market. Additionally, the department is expected to propose measures concerning Google&#8217;s AI and Android operating system.
Google&#8217;s Chrome browser, which commands approximately two-thirds of the global browser market, plays a vital role in controlling internet traffic and ad visibility, making it a significant revenue source for Google.
Google plans to appeal following a final ruling by U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta, expected by August 2025.

JPMorgan analyst Doug Anmuth anticipates potential headline risk but also sees this as an opportunity for clarity, paving the way for Google&#8217;s response and future appeal strategies. Despite the looming legal challenges, Anmuth maintains an Overweight rating on GOOGL stock, with a price target of $212, 20% above current levels.
Meanwhile, Verily, Alphabet&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/42053801/alphabets-life-sciences-firm-verily-to-become-a-standalone-entity-disconnect-from-google">life sciences subsidiary, </a>is preparing to become a standalone entity by December. This separation from Google, including cutting ties with its cloud infrastructure and employee benefits, is seen as a crucial step towards Verily&#8217;s goal of operating independently, though it will remain part of Alphabet.

GOOG

Google's Parent Alphabet Shares Dip During Tuesday Pre-Market: What's Going On?

Citadel LLC&nbsp;CEO&nbsp;Ken Griffin, on Monday, while speaking at Oxford Union in the UK said that President-elect Donald Trump&#8216;s economic policies including tariffs are a &#8220;long, slippery slope,&#8221; that will hurt U.S. companies in the long run to compete globally.
What Happened: Griffin, a significant Republican donor, expressed confidence in Trump&#8217;s victory, saying that the U.S. economy is going back to "the business of business" after calling the former president&#8217;s economic policies as &#8220;regretfully&#8221; last year, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-11-18/ken-griffin-says-he-s-very-anxious-about-trump-s-tariff-policy">reported</a> Bloomberg. 
Since founding Citadel in 1990, Griffin has grown the company into a $65 billion giant and accumulated a personal fortune that, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, is currently <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/billionaires/profiles/kenneth-c-griffin/">valued</a> at $42.2 billion.
The 56-year-old hedge fund billionaire said he believes countries continue to spend more than they can afford and that he expects Trump&#8217;s administration would reduce the size of government in a broad conversation that covered a variety of subjects, including politics, investing, and immigration.

<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga</a> has reached out to Citadel for additional comments in this regard.
Why It Matters: Recently, tech investor and&nbsp;Palantir Technologies'&nbsp;co-founder&nbsp;Peter Thiel&nbsp;has made a daring prediction about the potential impact of Trump's&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/11/42028954/peter-thiel-says-trumps-60-china-tariff-would-be-very-very-bad-for-beijing-heres-whats-at-stake">60% tariff on Chinese goods</a>.
Thiel said that shifting manufacturing from China to Vietnam would significantly harm China, and have only a minor impact on American consumers. From a geopolitical perspective, he argued, this move would align closely with American strategic interests.
Goldman Sachs estimates that a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/11/42042411/inflation-could-surge-to-3-if-trump-applies-universal-tariffs-goldman-sachs">potential universal tariff</a> would raise core personal consumption expenditures inflation — the Fed's favorite inflation gauge — by 0.9-1.2 percentage points at its peak, pushing inflation back to 3%.
Moreover, a recent study by the National Retail Federation warns that Trump's&nbsp;proposed tariffs could significantly impact American consumers, potentially reducing annual <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41737933/trump-tariff-proposed-may-cost-americans-78b-in-spending-study">spending by $78 billion</a>.
