General Motors (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) said on Friday that it sold nearly 44,000 electric vehicles in the fourth quarter of 2024 with the help of new vehicle models, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42801670/mustang-mach-e-spurs-fords-ev-sales-in-q4-after-it-delays-new-vehicle-launch">effectively overtaking rival</a> Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) which has been hesitant to add new EV models.
What Happened: GM sold 43,982 EVs in the three months through the end of December, marking a growth of 125% year-on-year, with the Chevrolet Equinox EV accounting for a majority of the deliveries.
GM started deliveries of the Equinox EV in May 2024. In the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39612749/60-000-cadillac-lyriq-drives-gms-q2-ev-sales-after-bolt-is-discontinued" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;second quarter</a>, the company delivered only 1,013 units of the vehicle. However, in the third quarter, delivery numbers rose to 9,772 units and further to 18,089 in Q4. The Equinox EV accounted for 41% of the company&#8217;s overall EV sales in the last quarter.
The SUV's entry-level variant starts at about $35,000, lower than Tesla's Model Y SUV or Ford's Mustang Mach-E.
Other best-selling EVs in the quarter include the Cadillac Lyriq and the Blazer EV. The company also sold 670 units of its luxury 7-seater electric SUV called Escalade IQ EV with a starting price of around $130,000.
Bolt EV sales in the quarter, however, dropped by 99.6% in the quarter after the company&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40646381/gm-to-move-brightdrop-electric-vans-under-the-chevrolet-brand" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">discontinued its production in late 2023.</a>

Why It Matters:&nbsp;GM currently has the longest EV lineup among major U.S. EV players including EV giant&nbsp;Tesla.
Tesla's current lineup has just five vehicles &#8211; Model 3, Model Y, Model S, Model X, and the Cybertruck.
Dearborn-based Ford, meanwhile, has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40525705/fords-e-transit-van-could-be-its-golden-goose-until-new-evs-start-rolling-out-in-2026" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">only three EV offerings</a> in the U.S. &#8211; the Mustang Mach-E SUV, the F-150 Lightning pickup truck, and the E-transit van. The company sold <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42801670/mustang-mach-e-spurs-fords-ev-sales-in-q4-after-it-delays-new-vehicle-launch">just 30,176 EVs in the U.S. in the fourth quarter</a>.
Despite the longer EV lineup, electric vehicles accounted for only about 6% of GM&#8217;s total vehicle sales in the last three months of 2024.

GM Overtakes Ford EV Sales In Q4 With Equinox EV, Sells 670 Units Of Escalade IQ Priced At $130,000

Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>)&nbsp;announced plans to allocate approximately&nbsp;$80 billion in fiscal 2025&nbsp;towards the development of data centers aimed at training&nbsp;artificial intelligence (AI) models and&nbsp;deploying AI and cloud-based applications.
What Happened:&nbsp;The surge in Microsoft's AI investment follows the launch of ChatGPT by&nbsp;OpenAI&nbsp;in 2022, prompting companies to integrate AI into their offerings.
AI&#8217;s demand for computing power has increased the need for specialized data centers, enabling tech firms to connect thousands of chips in clusters.
"We have the opportunity as a country to equip all Americans with the skills needed to use AI to pursue higher-paying jobs and more successful careers. This should be our national north star," said Brad Smith, vice chair and president of Microsoft.

Microsoft has been investing heavily to enhance its AI infrastructure and expand its data center network. According <a href="https://blogs.microsoft.com/on-the-issues/2025/01/03/the-golden-opportunity-for-american-ai/">to</a> Microsoft, more than half of the $80 billion investment will be directed towards the United States.
As&nbsp;OpenAI&#8217;s primary backer,&nbsp;Microsoft&nbsp;is one of the leading players in the AI race, bolstered by&nbsp;its exclusive partnership with the&nbsp;AI chatbot maker.

Why It Matters:&nbsp;Microsoft&#8217;s aggressive investment in AI infrastructure aligns with its recent milestones and strategic shifts.
In October,&nbsp;CEO Satya Nadella&nbsp;announced that the company&#8217;s AI business was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41643178/microsofts-ai-business-set-to-hit-10b-revenue-milestone-in-q2-satya-nadella-says-it-is-the-faste">on track to surpass $10 billion</a> in annual revenue, marking it as the fastest-growing segment in Microsoft&#8217;s history. This underscores the significant demand and rapid adoption of AI technologies across various sectors.
In December, reports emerged that&nbsp;Microsoft&nbsp;was planning to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42664762/after-investing-nearly-14-billion-in-openai-microsoft-reportedly-moves-to-reduce-its-dependence-on-chatgpt-parent">reduce its dependence</a>&nbsp;on OpenAI by integrating internal and third-party AI models into its Microsoft 365 Copilot product. This move reflects a strategic effort to diversify its AI capabilities and reduce reliance on external technologies.
Furthermore,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42359072/sundar-pichai-takes-a-jab-at-microsofts-ai-efforts-theyre-using-someone-elses-models-doubling-down-on-googles-innovation-power">competition</a>&nbsp;with other tech giants like&nbsp;Alphabet Inc.&nbsp;has intensified, with Google CEO Sundar Pichai challenging Microsoft&#8217;s use of OpenAI&#8217;s models. This rivalry highlights the ongoing battle for supremacy in the AI space, as companies strive to innovate and capture market share.

Microsoft To Invest $80 Billion In AI Data Centers For Fiscal 2025

Dearborn-based Ford Motor Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) sold 30,176 electric vehicles in the fourth quarter in the U.S., taking its EV sales for the whole year to 97,865 units. 
What Happened: While Ford&#8217;s annual EV sales in the U.S. couldn&#8217;t breach the 100,000 mark, it still marks a 35% increase from its EV sales in 2023.
Ford has only three EVs on sale in the U.S. as of today- the Mustang Mach-E SUV, the F-150 Lightning pickup, and the E-transit van. 
The Mustang Mach-E was the best-selling EV in the fourth quarter of 2024, followed by the company&#8217;s electric pickup. In fact, the electric SUV was the company&#8217;s best-selling EV in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41179283/fords-us-ev-sales-gather-pace-in-q3-even-as-its-best-seller-mustang-mach-e-suv-slows-down">all four quarters of 2024</a>.
Ford sold 51,745 Mach-E SUVs across the last four quarters, marking a growth of 27% year-on-year. F-150 Lightning sales rose 39% to 33,510 units and the E-Transit a whopping 64% to 12,610 units in the period.

Why It Matters: EVs, however, accounted for merely 5.7% of Ford&#8217;s overall vehicle sales in Q4 and 4.7% of its sales in 2024. Hybrid vehicles, in comparison, accounted for 9% of the company&#8217;s overall sales in the year. 
In August, Ford said that it is&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/08/40496864/ford-scraps-electric-suv-as-it-adjusts-to-lower-electric-vehicle-demand" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">killing its plans to build a three-row electric SUV</a>, initially slated for production in 2025. The company also postponed its plans for a new electric version of its F-150 pickup to 2027 and said it will start making a new electric commercial van in 2026.
More details on the company&#8217;s EV strategy are now expected in the first half of 2025.

Ford EV Sales Get Mustang Mach-E Speed Boost In Q4 As It Delays New Vehicle Launch

Trading Halt: Halted at 7:50:00 p.m. ET - Trading Halt: Halt News Pending

Katherine Goodson thought she had found love. Instead, she ended up living in her car with just "29 miles of gas left." The 67-year-old California woman says she lost tens of thousands of dollars to a scammer pretending to be Hollywood star <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/23/02/30950331/from-the-matrix-to-the-metaverse-keanu-reeves-take-on-crypto-and-nfts">Keanu Reeves.</a>
&#8220;That's the lowest I've ever been,&#8221; Goodson told KNSD, sharing her story to warn others about the dangers of online romance scams.
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>Can you guess how many Americans successfully retire with $1,000,000 saved?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/red-ventures"> The percentage may shock you</a>.</li>
<li>The global games market is projected to generate $272B by the end of the year —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/gameflip"> for $0.55/share, this VC-backed startup with a 7M+ userbase gives investors easy access to this asset market.</a></li>
</ul>
The High Cost Of Trust
For two years, Goodson sent money to the scammer through Bitcoin, gift cards and wire transfers. Her savings were gone when she realized the truth and her life was turned upside down.
Romance scams are nothing new, but the financial toll is staggering. According to the FBI, Americans lost more than $650 million to romance scams in 2023, Business Insider reported. Older adults, like Goodson, are hit hardest. People over 60 reported losses totaling $3.4 billion, making them the biggest targets.
Why Are These Scams So Common?
Melanie McGovern, public relations director at the Better Business Bureau, tells BI that scammers know how to pull at heartstrings. They pose as celebrities, health professionals or even insurance companies.

"They'll take any company name and scoop it," McGovern said. Romance scams, in particular, are so prevalent that they're on the BBB's <a href="https://www.bbb.org/all/holiday-hq/scams/12-scams-of-christmas">"12 Scams of the Holidays" </a>list.
Goodson isn't alone. Just last year, a woman in South Korea reported losing $50,000 to a deepfake voice pretending to be Tesla founder <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/04/38491366/a-woman-loses-50-000-thinking-elon-musk-was-telling-her-i-love-you-and-wanted-to-make-her-rich-but-i">Elon Musk </a>proclaiming, "I love you." And Kate Kleinert, a 69-year-old widow, told BI she lost $39,000 – her life savings – after falling for an online romance scam.
&#8220;Losing the money – that was devastating,&#8221; Kleinert said. &#8220;But losing that love and the thought of that family that we had? That's what crushed me.&#8221;

How To Spot A Scam
The Federal Trade Commission says there are <a href="https://consumer.ftc.gov/articles/what-know-about-romance-scams">red flags to watch for:</a>
<ul>
<li>The person refuses to meet in person.</li>
<li>They ask for money, especially through unconventional methods like gift cards or wire transfers.</li>
<li>They push for secrecy or urgency.</li>
</ul>
&#8220;Here's the bottom line,&#8221; the FTC advises. &#8220;Never send money or gifts to a sweetheart you haven't met in person.&#8221;
A Warning From Goodson
Goodson says she doesn't blame anyone but herself. Still, she hopes her experience will stop others from falling into the same trap.
"It's overwhelming," she said. "Just be sure you're ready for that kind of responsibility."
Her story is a stark reminder: Love online can come with a hefty price tag if you're not careful.

A New York judge on Friday upheld President-elect Donald Trump's criminal conviction while hinting at leniency in sentencing, a significant twist in a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">high-profile legal battle. </a>
Judge Juan M. Merchan indicated he would likely issue an unconditional discharge, a rare outcome that avoids jail time or probation and allows Trump to pursue appellate options, The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/03/nyregion/trump-sentencing-hush-money-case-ny.html?campaign_id=190&amp;emc=edit_ufn_20250103&amp;instance_id=143819&amp;nl=from-the-times&#xAE;i_id=136109156&amp;segment_id=187269&amp;user_id=e415429009fa21c5b8b4141c24d72bca">reports</a>.
What Happened: Merchan, in an 18-page decision, ruled against overturning the Manhattan jury's May conviction of Trump on 34 counts of falsifying business records. The charges stemmed from allegations that Trump orchestrated hush money payments during his 2016 campaign to suppress a sex scandal. 
Merchan also rejected Trump's claims that his conviction violated presidential immunity or should be dismissed in light of his recent election victory, the New York Times reports.
The sentencing, scheduled for Jan. 10, ensures Trump's felony status will stand as he takes the oath of office later this month. Prosecutors had pushed for accountability, while the defense argued that any punishment would disrupt Trump's ability to govern.

Why It Matters: Trump's impending sentencing solidifies his position as the first U.S. president to assume office with a felony conviction. Merchan's decision highlights the judiciary's role in balancing presidential immunity concerns against the principle of equal accountability under the law. 
Trump's legal team could still pursue an appeal to delay sentencing, further entwining legal and political challenges as his presidency begins.
Adding broader implications, concerns over Trump's economic strategies — termed "Maganomics" — have resurfaced. Economists have raised fears of inflationary policies and long-term instability, despite short-term growth projections. Experts warn Trump's return could amplify economic unpredictability, impacting markets <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/01/42763635/trump-administration-will-be-an-unpredictability-machine-economists-warn-maganomics-could-hinder-long-term-growth">and global relations.</a>
As legal scrutiny and economic uncertainty converge, Trump's presidency is poised to navigate uncharted territory, shaping both domestic policy and international perceptions.
