Martin Shkreli, the former hedge fund manager known as &#8220;Pharma Bro,&#8221; defended Palantir Technologies Inc.&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) valuation on Tuesday amid the company&#8217;s surging stock price, projecting substantial cash flow growth for the data analytics firm through 2025.
What Happened: Shkreli, writing on X, stated that Palantir&#8217;s cash flow from operations (CFFO) should reach $1.8 billion in 2025 and potentially $2.7 billion by 2026. &#8220;It&#8217;s not as expensive as it looks,&#8221; he wrote, citing an 83x CFFO/FCF multiple for what he described as a &#8220;50% revenue grower with a lot of expense slack.&#8221;
His comments came as Palantir&#8217;s stock jumped 23.90% following strong <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43449486/palantir-q4-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-us-revenue-up-52-customer-count-up-43-strong-guidance-this-is-a-new-phase-unlike-anything-that-has-come-before">fourth-quarter results</a> that exceeded analyst expectations. The company reported revenue of $827.52 million, beating estimates of $775.91 million, with earnings per share of 14 cents topping forecasts of 11 cents.
Palantir boasts a market capitalization of $236.42 billion, with a price-to-earnings ratio of 525.32. Despite the strong rally, Palantir&#8217;s Relative Strength Index over a 14-day period stands at 80.36, suggesting the stock may be approaching overbought territory.

Why It Matters: The AI software company&#8217;s performance was particularly robust in its U.S. operations, with commercial revenue surging 64% year-over-year to $214 million and government revenue <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43452860/palantir-soars-23-after-hours-as-cramer-says-i-wont-let-you-down-and-dan-ives-calls-it-the-next-oracle-in-ai-boom">rising 45% to $343 million</a>. Customer count grew 43% compared to the previous year.
CEO Alex Karp emphasized the company&#8217;s position in the AI revolution, stating in a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43449486/palantir-q4-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-us-revenue-up-52-customer-count-up-43-strong-guidance-this-is-a-new-phase-unlike-anything-that-has-come-before">letter to shareholders</a>, &#8220;We are still in the earliest stages, the beginning of the first act, of a revolution that will play out over years and decades.&#8221;
Analysts have responded positively, with several firms <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/price-target/25/02/43463909/palantir-stock-is-surging-tuesday-whats-going-on">raising their price targets</a>. Bank of America Securities maintained a Buy rating while lifting its target to $125, and Morgan Stanley upgraded the stock to Equal-Weight with a new $95 target.
Palantir forecasts <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/price-target/25/02/43463909/palantir-stock-is-surging-tuesday-whats-going-on">adjusted free cash flow</a> between $1.5 billion and $1.7 billion for the year.
Shkreli&#8217;s analysis comes after serving time for securities fraud related to his previous hedge fund management activities. While controversial, his background includes experience in financial analysis and pharmaceutical industry investments <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/21/11/23904774/wall-street-crime-and-punishment-martin-shkreli-the-self-destructive-pharma-bro">before his 2017 conviction</a>.
Price Action: Palantir closed at $103.83 on Tuesday, marking a 23.99% surge for the day. However, in after-hours trading, it edged down 0.90% to $102.90, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

'Pharma Bro' Martin Shkreli Defends Palantir's Valuation Amid 24% Surge, Says AI Firm's Cash Flow Justifies 'Expensive' Price

On Tuesday, OpenAI introduced a comprehensive rebranding initiative featuring a new logo and typeface.
What Happened: The revamped logo, referred to as a &#8220;blossom,&#8221; showcases a slightly larger central space and refined lines.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="721" height="721" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/04231210/OpenAI-black-monoblossom.png" alt="" class="wp-image-766116" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/04231210/OpenAI-black-monoblossom.png 721w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/04231210/OpenAI-black-monoblossom-300x300.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/04231210/OpenAI-black-monoblossom-150x150.png 150w" sizes="(max-width: 721px) 100vw, 721px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Source: OpenAI &#x7C; The redesigned OpenAI &#8216;Blossom&#8217; logo</figcaption></figure>

Initially crafted by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and co-founder Ilya Sutskever, the redesign was executed by an internal team led by Veit Moeller and Shannon Jager, <a href="https://www.wallpaper.com/tech/openai-has-undergone-its-first-ever-rebrand-giving-fresh-life-to-chatgpt-interactions">reported</a> Wallpaper. This transformation is designed to project a &#8220;more organic and more human&#8221; image.
The AI startup has also launched a new typeface, OpenAI sans, which merges geometric precision with a rounded, inviting character. For example, the wordmark&#8217;s &#8220;O&#8221; features a perfectly round exterior and an imperfect interior, aiming to counter robotic precision, according to Moeller.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="458" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/04231455/OpenAI-black-wordmark-1024x458.png" alt="" class="wp-image-766124" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/04231455/OpenAI-black-wordmark-1024x458.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/04231455/OpenAI-black-wordmark-300x134.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/04231455/OpenAI-black-wordmark-768x344.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/04231455/OpenAI-black-wordmark-1536x688.png 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/04231455/OpenAI-black-wordmark.png 1604w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Source: OpenAI &#x7C; OpenAI&#8217;s wordmark is displayed in OpenAI Sans.</figcaption></figure>
When questioned about the role of AI tools like ChatGPT in the design process, Moeller said that the team used AI to calculate type weights.

Why It Matters: On the same day, a federal judge ruled that parts of Elon Musk&#8217;s lawsuit against OpenAI will <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/02/43484737/chatgpt-maker-openais-future-hangs-in-the-balance-as-judge-says-musks-lawsuit-will-partially-proceed-to-trial">proceed to trial</a>. The lawsuit challenges OpenAI&#8217;s shift to a for-profit model.
Last month, it was reported that SoftBank Group is in talks to lead a <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/media/25/01/43374528/softbank-may-lead-openais-40-billion-funding-round-at-a-300-billion-valuation-despite-deepseek-disruption-report">$40 billion funding round</a> for OpenAI, potentially valuing the company at $300 billion.
In October 2024, the Altman-led <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41149788/openai-valuation-soars-to-157b-in-latest-funding-round">startup raised over $6.5 billion</a>, bringing its valuation to $157 billion.

OpenAI's Big Rebrand: ChatGPT-Parent Wants To Reflect A 'More Organic' Future With New Logo, Typeface

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>) revealed that its artificial intelligence-powered search features are achieving monetization rates comparable to traditional search results, marking a milestone in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43479274/alphabet-q4-earnings-highlights-ai-cloud-youtube-momentum-continues-capex-guidance-sends-shares-lower">the company&#8217;s AI strategy</a>.
What Happened: During Alphabet&#8217;s fourth-quarter of 2024 earnings call, Chief Business Officer Philipp Schindler announced that AI overviews, the company&#8217;s AI-enhanced search feature, is delivering revenue at &#8220;approximately the same rate&#8221; as conventional search results. 
This performance suggests the successful integration of AI technology without sacrificing the company&#8217;s core revenue engine.
The development is particularly noteworthy given that search advertising remains Alphabet&#8217;s largest revenue source, generating $54 billion in the fourth quarter, up 13% from the previous year. The successful monetization of AI features comes as the company significantly expands its AI infrastructure, announcing a planned $75 billion capital expenditure for 2025.
&#8220;AI overviews continue to drive higher satisfaction and search usage,&#8221; Schindler noted during the earnings call, indicating that the technology is not only matching revenue expectations but also improving user engagement. This is especially pronounced among younger users, suggesting potential for long-term growth in user adoption.

Why It Matters: The company reported that AI overviews are now available in more than 100 countries, while its newer Circle to Search feature has been rolled out to over 200 million Android devices. Users who have tried Circle to Search now initiate more than 10% of their searches through this feature, demonstrating strong user adoption of AI-powered search tools.
Google faces growing competition in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/37412558/watch-out-google-openai-perplexity-ai-reportedly-raising-additional-money-at-significantly-higher-va">AI search market</a> from OpenAI's SearchGPT, Perplexity AI, Microsoft's AI-powered Bing, and China's DeepSeek, all offering advanced conversational and real-time search capabilities.
Price Action: Alphabet&#8217;s Class A stock declined 7.59% in after-hours trading to $190.71, while Class C shares fell 7.27% to $192.60, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Google AI's Search Revenue Matches Traditional Ads, Says Alphabet But There Is Rising Competition From OpenAI, Perplexity, DeepSeek

Gold prices surged to an unprecedented high of $2,849.05 per ounce on Wednesday, driven by renewed U.S.-China trade tensions and geopolitical uncertainties in the Middle East. The precious metal has demonstrated resilience this year, posting a 7.31% year-to-date gain, outperforming Bitcoin&#8216;s (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) 4.27% increase during the same period.
What Happened: The latest rally came after former President Donald Trump imposed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/02/43462165/china-strikes-retaliatory-measures-against-us-following-trumps-10-tariffs-its-much-less-than-proportional-analyst-says">a 10% tariff on Chinese imports</a>, prompting a measured response from Beijing. 
Peter Schiff, a prominent economist and gold advocate, views current market dynamics as bullish. &#8220;The fact that the public is selling and not buying is extremely bullish for gold. It&#8217;s a contrarian indicator,&#8221; Schiff posted on X, suggesting that retail investors might return to the market at higher price levels.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">I forgot to mention it, but the fact that the public is selling and not buying is extremely bullish for gold. It&#39;s a contrarian indicator. Retail gold investors will eventually stop selling, and later, the general public will start buying, but at much higher prices.

Why It Matters: Market sentiment received additional support from Trump&#8217;s proposal to assume <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43484176/trump-says-us-will-take-over-gaza-strip-were-going-to-develop-it-create-thousands-of-jobs">U.S. control over Gaza Strip</a> reconstruction, adding another layer of geopolitical complexity to the precious metal&#8217;s appeal. However, analysts note that persistent high interest rates could potentially cap gold&#8217;s upside.
Gold futures for April delivery reached $2,879.49, up 0.13%, reflecting strong demand. The metal has appreciated 7.56% since Trump&#8217;s November election victory, though this performance trails Bitcoin&#8217;s 40.15% surge over the same timeframe.
The metal&#8217;s performance comes at a time when investors are closely monitoring potential inflationary pressures that could emerge from new tariffs, possibly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/25/02/43468406/treasury-etfs-in-focus-as-trumps-tariffs-feds-rate-decision-shake-bond-markets">influencing Federal Reserve monetary policy decisions</a>. 
Despite the robust rally, market participants remain vigilant about interest rate trajectories, which traditionally have an inverse relationship with gold prices.

Gold Outshines Bitcoin As Trump's Gaza Plan, US-China Tensions Fuel Rally—Peter Schiff Calls It 'Extremely Bullish'

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) has increased the monthly subscription cost for its AppleCare+ service across all iPhone models in the U.S.&nbsp;
What Happened: Apple has raised the monthly fee for AppleCare+ by 50 cents. The standard AppleCare+ for the iPhone 16 now costs $10.49 per month, up from $9.99, <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2025/02/04/applecare-iphone-price-increase/">reported</a> MacRumors on Tuesday.
This price hike affects all current iPhone models, including both the standard and Theft and Loss plans. However, the two-year AppleCare+ subscription prices, service fees, and deductibles remain unchanged, with the increase specific to monthly payments.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/02/43425734/apple-watch-faces-are-a-mess-series-10s-biggest-feature-is-limited-to-just-four-faces-frustrating-users">Apple Watch Faces Are A Mess — Series 10&#8217;s Biggest Feature Is Limited To Just Four Faces, Frustrating Users</a>
Moreover, Apple has not changed the AppleCare+ subscription prices for iPad, Mac, or Apple Watch.
Apple did not immediately respond to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga's</a> request for comments.
Why It Matters: On Sunday, Bloomberg&#8217;s Mark Gurman reported that Apple retail stores will stop offering AppleCare+ as a one-time purchase starting next week. Instead, AppleCare+ will only be available as a subscription in stores.
For instance, coverage for the iPhone 16 Pro Max costs $9.99 per month (before the price increase) or a one-time payment of $199 for two years. However, the upfront payment option will no longer be available in physical stores.
For now, Apple will continue to offer one-time AppleCare+ purchase options through its online store, he said.

The cost for battery replacement in the standard and "Plus" models remained unchanged.
Apple&#8217;s recent <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43355688/apple-q1-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-iphone-sales-slip-installed-base-climbs-to-all-time-high-our-best-quarter-ever">first-quarter earnings</a> report revealed a revenue beat, with fiscal first-quarter revenue of $124.3 billion, surpassing analyst estimates. Services revenue reached $26.34 billion, an increase from $23.12 billion compared to the previous year.
Price Action: Apple&#8217;s stock declined 0.021% in after-hours trading, settling at $232.75. Earlier on Tuesday, it closed at $232.80, marking a 2.10% increase, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Apple Raises Monthly AppleCare+ Prices For All iPhones— And You Can No Longer Buy The Warranty Upfront In Stores

The U.S. stock market showed a positive trend on Tuesday, with the Nasdaq Composite surging by over 260 points to end the day at 19,654.02. The Dow Jones Industrial Average also rose by 0.3% to 44,556.04, while the S&amp;P 500 gained 0.7% to 6,037.88.
Let&#8217;s turn our attention to the five stocks that captured the interest of retail traders and investors throughout the day.
Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>)
The company&#8217;s stock rose by 4.58% to close at $119.50. The intraday high and low were $119.85 and $114.79 respectively, with a 52-week range of $112.80 to $227.30.

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>)

What Happened: The leading cryptocurrency dropped to $97,924.27, its lowest level in the last 24 hours of trading, while the broader crypto market capitalization fell 2.92% to $3.23 trillion. 
The decline coincided with newly appointed &#8220;Crypto Czar&#8221; David Sacks announcing the formation of a bipartisan, bicameral committee to establish a <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/02/43477333/crypto-czar-sacks-says-potential-bitcoin-reserve-to-be-one-of-crypto-committees-first-priorities">regulatory framework for digital assets</a>.

The second-largest cryptocurrency&#8217;s decline followed Dogecoin&#8217;s retreat after its 15% rally on Monday.
The market turbulence triggered significant trading activity, with over 161,000 traders facing liquidations. The total cryptocurrency open interest decreased by 5.61% to $113.45 billion, while trading volume dropped 43.19% to $194.42 billion, according to CoinGlass.
Market sentiment remains cautious, with the Crypto Fear and Greed Index reading 54 on Tuesday, indicating a neutral stance.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin Drops As Trump's 'Crypto Czar' Announces Oversight Committee: Eric Trump Says 'Great Time' To Add ETH

On Tuesday, a federal judge decided that parts of Elon Musk&#8217;s lawsuit against OpenAI will advance to trial. This legal battle centers on Musk&#8217;s efforts to halt OpenAI&#8217;s transition to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/24/12/42493076/openai-challenges-musks-lawsuit-reveals-2017-profit-talks">a for-profit model</a>.
What Happened: U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers, based in Oakland, California, said Musk will be required to testify in court, reported Reuters.
&#8220;Something is going to trial in this case,&#8221; she stated, indicating that a jury will ultimately determine the outcome.

The lawsuit, initiated by Musk last year, contests OpenAI&#8217;s shift from a nonprofit to a for-profit organization. Musk argues that the original mission was to develop AI for the benefit of humanity, not for profit.
OpenAI, which was co-founded by Musk in 2015, maintains that the transition is crucial to secure funding for AI development.

ChatGPT-Maker OpenAI's Future Hangs In The Balance As Judge Says Elon Musk's Lawsuit Will Partially Go To Trial

Editor&#8217;s Note: This story has been updated to clarify the correct price of a $1,000 investment in Meta at its IPO.
Facebook co-founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg once revealed to Sam Altman that one of the most painful moments in his career was not rejecting a billion-dollar acquisition offer—but watching his entire management team walk away because they disagreed with his decision.
What Happened: In a 2016 conversation with Altman, the then-president of Y Combinator, Zuckerberg reflected on Facebook's early struggles. He recalled the intense pressure to sell the company when Yahoo offered to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38351566/mark-zuckerberg-didnt-sell-facebook-for-1b-but-would-he-have-sold-for-5t-this-was-meta-ceos-thought">buy it for $1 billion</a>.
At the time, Facebook was still a small social network focused on college students, and many believed cashing out was the smart move. However, Zuckerberg and co-founder Dustin Moskovitz had a bigger vision—to expand Facebook beyond universities and turn it into a global platform.

"At the end of that, Dustin and I just decided, you know, we think that we can actually go connect more than just the 10 million people who are in school," Zuckerberg said. "We can go beyond that and have this really be a successful thing, we just had to go for it."&nbsp;&nbsp;
But, the decision had consequences. "A huge amount of the company quit because they didn't believe in what we were doing," he admitted. "The whole management team was gone within about a year after that."&nbsp;&nbsp;
For Zuckerberg, the real pain wasn't rejecting the deal—it was realizing that many of the people he trusted to help build Facebook didn't believe in him.&nbsp;

Why It Matters: Founded on Feb. 4, 2004, in a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/23/05/32461106/if-you-invested-1-000-in-facebook-stock-at-ipo-11-years-ago-heres-how-much-youd-have-now">Harvard dorm room</a>, Facebook started as a social network for college students.
By the time Yahoo made its offer in 2006, the company had grown to at least 10 million users. Had Zuckerberg sold, Facebook might never have evolved into the global tech giant it is today.
Instead, Facebook, which became Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) in 2021, continued to expand. By 2008, Facebook had amassed 100 million users, and in 2012, it went public in what was the largest IPO in history at the time, valuing the company at $104 billion.&nbsp;
An investor who put $1,000 into <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/02/36937315/happy-20-facebook-if-you-invested-1-000-in-mark-zuckerbergs-social-network-when-it-went-public-1">Facebook at its IPO</a> price of $38 would have received approximately 26.31 shares. At Tuesday&#8217;s closing price of $704.19, those shares would now be valued at around $18,531.31.
Some of Facebook's earliest investors included Peter Thiel and Reid Hoffman. The company acquired Instagram in 2012 and WhatsApp for $19 billion in 2014. It also acquired Oculus to enter the virtual reality space in 2014.
The company today has a market capitalization of $1.784 trillion, making it the seventh most valuable company in the world. Last month, Meta reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/01/43322201/meta-platforms-q4-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-daily-actives-up-5-continued-strong-revenue-growth-expected">fourth-quarter revenue</a> of $48.39 billion, surpassing analyst expectations of $47.03 billion.

President Donald Trump has declared that the US will assume control of the Gaza Strip and economically develop it post the resettlement of Palestinians.
What Happened: As per a Reuters report on Tuesday, Trump made this unexpected declaration at a joint press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. This came on the heels of Trump&#8217;s earlier proposition on the same day for the permanent resettlement of Palestinians from Gaza to neighboring countries, referring to the region as a &#8220;demolition site.&#8221;
Trump said, &#8220;The U.S. will take over the Gaza Strip, and we will do a job with it too. We&#8217;ll own it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site.&#8221; He further added that the U.S. would develop the region, creating thousands of jobs, and it could become a home to &#8220;the world&#8217;s people.&#8221;
Netanyahu commended Trump for &#8220;thinking outside the box with fresh ideas&#8221; and showing a readiness to challenge conventional thinking. However, Trump did not provide specifics on how the U.S. would take over the land of Gaza and occupy it long-term.
Trump also repeated his call for Jordan, Egypt, and other Arab states to permanently resettle Gazans, a suggestion that Arab leaders had previously rejected.

Why It Matters: Trump&#8217;s announcement comes after a series of events that have shaped his stance on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In August, Trump had urged Netanyahu to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40417063/trump-says-he-encouraged-netanyahu-to-end-gaza-war-while-critizing-kamala-harris-for-demanding-cease">swiftly end the ongoing war in Gaza</a> during a press conference. He had criticized President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris for their repeated ceasefire calls, arguing that it would only give Hamas a chance to regroup.
By January, Trump&#8217;s Middle East envoy was in Israel <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42933339/trumps-envoy-urges-netanyahu-for-gaza-deal-can-ceasefire-efforts-succeed-before-inauguration">pushing for a ceasefire</a> in the ongoing Israel-Hamas war before Trump's inauguration. Trump had set a firm deadline, demanding all hostages be released before his inauguration on January 20, with severe consequences if not met.

Trump Says US Will Take Over Gaza Strip: 'We're Going To Develop It, Create Thousands Of Jobs'

As Tesla gets ready to release its fourth-quarter earnings on Wednesday, investors have been asking some pretty pointed questions in an online forum. Most of the inquiries center around two big topics: the company&#8217;s robotaxi plans and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/25/01/43310996/elon-musk-outshines-zuckerberg-200-billion-richer-dominates-politics-and-emerges-as-trumps-right-hand-po">Elon Musk</a>&#8216;s political activities and how they might impact Tesla&#8217;s future.
These questions are coming just weeks after Tesla reported its annual sales decline, so there's a lot riding on this earnings release. One of the most popular questions, with over 3,000 votes, asks whether Tesla still plans to roll out &#8220;unsupervised&#8221; Full Self-Driving technology in Texas and California this year.&nbsp;

</ul>
Back in October, Musk introduced Tesla's Cybercab robotaxi, claiming that fully autonomous Model 3 and Y vehicles would be on the roads in both states by 2025. But Tesla is still waiting for the go-ahead to operate its cars autonomously in California, which is a key step for launching its robotaxi service there.
Aside from that, Tesla faces a number of regulatory challenges – particularly federal rules about autonomous vehicles, especially those without a steering wheel or pedals.&nbsp;
Musk's ties to the Trump administration could potentially play a role in smoothing out some of these regulatory obstacles. According to an NBC-2 report, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy hinted that the department may look into revising autonomous vehicle rules, which could potentially help Tesla's efforts.

Investors are also curious about Tesla's Optimus robot, which Musk has said will enter limited production this year, with plans for broader availability to other companies in 2026. It seems there's a lot of anticipation around this product as part of Tesla's expanding lineup.
But while most of the questions focus on Tesla&#8217;s products, some investors raised concerns about Musk's political involvement. One investor, representing nearly 600,000 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/11/41866041/if-you-want-a-new-tesla-cybertruck-you-can-get-it-built-and-delivered-in-10-days-thats-not-a-good-thing-for-the-ev-company">Tesla</a> shares, asked how the company could function with a part-time CEO, considering Musk&#8217;s commitments to SpaceX, Twitter (now X) and his involvement with Dogecoin.&nbsp;
Other investors voiced concerns about potential changes to the $7,500 federal tax credit for electric vehicles, which Musk has supported, and how trade tensions with China could impact sales.

If They Could Show A Plan For Ending World Hunger He'd Donate $6 Billion – ‘I Will Sell Tesla Stock Right Now And Do It'</a>
One of the more pointed questions came from an investor who referenced Musk's controversial actions during President Donald Trump's inauguration, wondering how Tesla could manage consumer relations given Musk's public political stances. This investor was clearly concerned about how such actions could affect the company's image and, ultimately, its bottom line.
Despite these concerns, Tesla's stock is performing well. As of Jan. 30, 2025, Tesla&#8217;s stock (TSLA) was trading at $405.85, reflecting a 4.3% increase from the previous close, with a market value now sitting at $1.25 trillion.

Elon Musk Is 'All-In' On Trump – Tesla Investors Holding 600,000+ Shares Question If He Can Still Run A $1.25 Trillion Company

El Salvador's President <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/nayib-bukele">Nayib Bukele</a> says he will incarcerate convicted criminals from the U.S. in his country, a macabre offer that is being praised as an "unprecedented" by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
Bukele made the proposal while hosting Rubio at his residence near San Salvador on Monday. He said El Salvador is prepared to imprison convicted Americans, for a small fee of course, in an infamous mega-prison opened a year ago, the largest in Latin America.
"We have offered the United States of America the opportunity to outsource part of its prison system," Bukele <a href="https://x.com/nayibbukele/status/1886606794614587573">wrote</a> on X. "The fee would be relatively low for the U.S. but significant for us, making our entire prison system sustainable."
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Such A Good Friend</h1>
"In an act of extraordinary friendship to our country … [El Salvador] has agreed to the most unprecedented and extraordinary migratory agreement anywhere in the world," Rubio told reporters Monday.
In addition to loving the U.S., Bukele also loves Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), making El Salvador the first country to adopt it as its legal tender in 2021.
"He has offered to house in his jails dangerous American criminals in custody in our country, including those with U.S. citizenship and legal residency. No country's ever made an offer of friendship such as this. We are profoundly grateful," gushed Rubio.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Is That Even Legal?</h1>
Not at all.
"The U.S. is absolutely prohibited from deporting U.S. citizens, whether they are incarcerated or not," Leti Volpp, a law professor at the University of California/Berkeley who specializes in immigration law, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/03/americas/el-salvador-migrant-deal-marco-rubio-intl-hnk/index.html">told CNN</a> in an email.
It is unclear whether the U.S. government will take up Bukele's offer though Elon Musk seemed to quite like it. He took to X <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1886622263690072526">where he called</a> it a "great idea," so one can assume the plan has a pretty good chance being accepted by President Donald Trump. &nbsp;

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

Bukele has made El Salvador's prison system — known for rampant human rights violations, violence and overcrowding — part of his anti-crime and anti-gang program. Since March 2022, more than 84,000 people have been arrested, most with no due process, <a href="https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2023/12/el-salvador-policies-practices-legislation-violate-human-rights/">according</a> to Amnesty International.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Can't U.S. Prisons House U.S. Citizens?</h2>
Apparently, there are too many criminals. Since returning to the White House in January, Trump has prioritized arresting and deporting millions of undocumented individuals. His administration also plans to detain 30,000 migrants at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
CoreCivic, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CXW#NYSE">CXW</a>) and the GEO Group, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GEO#NYSE">GEO</a>) have historically secured substantial contracts with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). 
American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) <a href="https://www.aclu.org/news/immigrants-rights/more-of-the-same-private-prison-corporations-and-immigration-detention-under-the-biden-administration">data</a> found that private prison corporations have pocketed billions from ICE detention contracts in the past two decades. But even they are filling to capacity it seems.

Uber Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>) is set to announce its fourth-quarter financial results on Wednesday before the opening bell. Here's a look at what to watch <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/technicals/25/02/43475816/uber-stock-bullish-q4-earnings-bigger-rally">when the company reports. </a>

Uber's gross bookings grew by 16% to $40.97 billion in the third quarter, though this growth rate was slower than the previous year. The company reported 161 million users in the third quarter, up 13.4% year-over-year.

Expert Ideas: Several analysts updated coverage on Uber stock heading into the fourth-quarter print:&nbsp;

The company missed expectations on both the top and bottom lines in the third quarter.  
Uber shares are up more than 15% year-to-date after trading mostly flat through 2024.&nbsp;

$1000 Invested In This Stock 20 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Google previously had strict guidelines when it came to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/ai">artificial intelligence</a>.
The Mountain View, California-based company, a subsidiary of Alphabet Inc. (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>), once pledged not to use the burgeoning tech field for harm.
Not anymore. 
What Happened: Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis and Senior Vice President James Manyika co-authored <a href="https://blog.google/technology/ai/responsible-ai-2024-report-ongoing-work/">a blog post</a> that included an updated list of so-called &#8220;AI Principles.&#8221; (DeepMind is an artificial intelligence research laboratory.)
The <a href="https://blog.google/technology/ai/ai-principles/">original list</a>, published in 2018, included applications that the company pledged not to &#8220;pursue.&#8221; That included weapons, surveillance and technologies that "cause or are likely to cause overall harm."
Google tweaked those ethical guidelines as of today.
&#8220;There's a global competition taking place for AI leadership within an increasingly complex geopolitical landscape. We believe democracies should lead in AI development, guided by core values like freedom, equality, and respect for human rights,&#8221; the executives wrote. &#8220;And we believe that companies, governments, and organizations sharing these values should work together to create AI that protects people, promotes global growth, and supports national security.&#8221;
