OpenAI CEO Sam Altman faces allegation from his sister Ann Altman, who filed a lawsuit on Monday claiming sexual abuse, amid multiple legal challenges confronting the artificial intelligence company.
What Happened: In a joint family statement posted on X on Tuesday, Altman&#8217;s mother and brothers strongly denied the accusations, describing them as &#8220;deeply hurtful and entirely untrue.&#8221;
The statement detailed the family&#8217;s attempts to support Ann through various means, including monthly financial assistance and offers to establish a housing trust.
&#8220;The worst allegation she has made is that she was sexually abused by Sam as a child (she has also claimed instances of sexual abuse from others). Her claims have evolved drastically over time. Newly for this lawsuit, they now include allegations of incidents where Sam was over 18,&#8221; said the statement.

Why It Matters: The family statement noted that Ann has previously made multiple allegations against them, including claims of improper withholding of their father&#8217;s 401(k) funds and technical interference with her social media accounts. They expressed concern about her mental health while maintaining their commitment to supporting her &#8220;in the best way we can.&#8221;
This lawsuit emerges as OpenAI, valued at $157 billion and backed by Microsoft Corp., navigates other significant legal challenges. The company already faces a lawsuit from Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk, who alleges a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42609769/elon-musk-is-a-legendary-entrepreneur-but-also-a-bully-says-openai-ceo-sam-altman-now-its-me-its-been-bezos-gates-zuckerberg-lots-of-other-people">breach of contract</a> regarding OpenAI&#8217;s shift from its original nonprofit mission.

Sam Altman's Sister Files Lawsuit Against OpenAI CEO Alleging Sexual Abuse — Family Respond: 'Deeply Hurtful And Entirely Untrue'

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said on Tuesday that the company&#8217;s ambitious&nbsp;Starship launch vehicle&#8217;s next flight test is now expected to be&nbsp;next week, later than his previous timeline of Jan. 10.
What Happened: &#8220;Starship flight 7, it looks like it&#8217;s pushed by 3 or 4 days. So probably sometime next week,&#8221; Musk said in a live stream on his social media platform X. 
The CEO had previously said that the company is aiming to launch Starship on its next flight test on Jan. 10, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/space/25/01/42838062/jeff-bezos-vs-elon-musk-blue-origin-looks-to-fly-new-glenn-for-first-time-on-same-day-as-starships-7th-test-flight">the same day</a> as Blue Origin is looking to launch its New Glenn rocket to orbit for the first time.
Musk did not provide the reasons for the delay or if the new timeline was considering the upcoming launch from the Bezos-owned company. 
Targets For Upcoming Flight Test: SpaceX has previously said that its Starship vehicle, currently undergoing testing and development, will launch from Starbase in Texas for its seventh flight test carrying 10 Starlink simulators which are similar in size and weight to the company's next-generation Starlink satellites in a bid to demonstrate its capabilities in the satellite launch segment.
For the upcoming flight, SpaceX is looking to catch the two-stage vehicle&#8217;s booster back at the launch pad at Starbase with the launch tower&#8217;s metallic arms like on its fifth test flight in October. However, in case of any safety concerns, the company will splash it down in the Gulf of Mexico, it said.
The spacecraft, meanwhile, is slated to be splashed down in the Indian Ocean on the upcoming test.
While SpaceX has conducted 6 test flights of its ambitious launch vehicle to date, none of them carried any payload. The last test flight of Starship was in November.
Why It Matters: Starship is key to many big ambitions in the field of space exploration.

Jim Cramer urged investors to consider NVIDIA Corp.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) recent stock decline as a buying opportunity, despite the company&#8217;s shares falling 6.22% on Tuesday following CEO Jensen Huang&#8216;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/01/42836461/nvidias-ces-2025-vision-sparks-mixed-reactions-ross-gerber-hails-incredible-things-to-come-while-analysts-debate-ai-and-autonomous-driving-ambitions">CES 2025 keynote presentation</a>.
What Happened: &#8220;Understand one thing, the keynote dazzled, the new projects are way ahead of any other company, and this new industrial revolution belongs to Nvidia,&#8221; Cramer <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/01/07/jim-cramer-says-nvidias-pullback-could-be-a-good-chance-to-buy.html">said</a> on CNBC, attributing the stock&#8217;s decline to &#8220;too much hot money&#8221; and broader market concerns about interest rates and inflation rather than company fundamentals.
During his Las Vegas presentation, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/01/42838231/jensen-huang-unveils-3000-personal-ai-supercomputer-the-size-of-a-small-book-it-runs-the-entire-nvidia-ai-stack">Huang unveiled next-generation</a> GeForce RTX 5000 series graphics cards and the Grace Blackwell NVLink 72 system, positioning Nvidia at the forefront of AI computing. 
The flagship RTX 5090, priced at $1,999, promises double the performance of its predecessor and features 32GB of GDDR7 memory.

Why It Matters: The presentation sparked mixed reactions from Wall Street analysts. Bank of America&#8216;s Vivek Arya maintained a Buy rating with a $190 price target, describing Nvidia as an &#8220;end-to-end AI shop.&#8221; 
However, Benchmark analyst Cody Acree, while maintaining a Buy rating, noted the keynote may have been &#8220;too technical&#8221; for investors <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/01/42859715/nvidia-stock-drops-after-huangs-ces-keynote-analysts-dub-it-end-to-end-ai-shop">seeking near-term guidance</a>.
Cramer advised investors to consider purchasing shares below the all-time high and monitor the upcoming Labor Department employment data. 
&#8220;If it comes in hot, you will get a chance to buy this stock lower, maybe much lower,&#8221; he said, suggesting current sellers might regret their decisions.
Nvidia&#8217;s expanding influence in AI infrastructure is evident in its partnership with Foxconn, which reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/42837406/amid-nvidias-ces-2025-buzz-investors-overlooked-apple-supplier-foxconns-strong-q4-says-jim-cramer">strong fourth-quarter</a> results driven partly by AI server demand. 
The company is set to release its RTX 5090 and 5080 models on Jan. 30, with more affordable <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/01/42836461/nvidias-ces-2025-vision-sparks-mixed-reactions-ross-gerber-hails-incredible-things-to-come-while-analysts-debate-ai-and-autonomous-driving-ambitions">variants following later</a>.
Price Action: Nvidia&#8217;s stock closed at $140.14 on Tuesday, down 6.22% for the day. In after-hours trading, the stock rose 1.04%. Over the past year, Nvidia&#8217;s stock has surged 168.21%, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.
Nvidia has a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NVDA/analyst-ratings">consensus price target</a> of $170.56. The highest target is $220, and the lowest is $120. Recent analyst ratings suggest an average target of $161.67, implying a 14.17% upside.

A popular analyst&nbsp;anticipated a further decline in Dogecoin&#8217;s (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) value on Tuesday amid the broader slump that rocked the cryptocurrency market.
What Happened: Kevin, known for sharing insights and forecasting price movements for the king of meme coins, expressed a bearish outlook in an X post. 
&#8220;If BTC doesn&#8217;t bounce, then this probably has lower to go before finding a bottom,&#8221; the analyst cautioned, linking DOGE&#8217;s destiny with Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), the world&#8217;s largest cryptocurrency.
Kevin had <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42477447/dogecoins-fate-tied-to-bitcoin-not-worth-overly-focusing-on-analyst-says-as-apex-memecoin-mirrors-btcs-pullback">previously indicated</a> that DOGE was &#8220;not in control of itself,&#8221; and its fate lies &#8220;purely in Bitcoin&#8217;s hands.&#8221;

On similar lines, More Crypto Online, a widely followed X account dedicated to cryptocurrency technical analysis, projected DOGE to slip to $0.30 after the price dipped below a key support level. 
&#8220;I would therefore not be surprised if the price drops back to 30 cents before making another attempt to rally. In this case, I would view it as an opportunity,&#8221; More Crypto Online said, sensing a chance to buy the dip.

Why It Matters: These predictions coincided with sell-offs by DOGE&#8217;s long-term holders. According to <a href="https://app.intotheblock.com/">IntoTheBlock</a>, DOGE holdings of &#8220;Diamond Hands&#8221; dropped by 0.88% in the last 24 hours, contrasting with increases in Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) and Tron (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/trx/usd">TRX</a>) holdings.

Dogecoin To Drop Further? Top Analyst Foresees Possible Dump For Memecoin If Bitcoin Doesn't Bounce

Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) has launched a China-specific version of its RTX 5090 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42835923/jensen-huang-unveils-monster-gpus-nvidias-rtx-5000-series-starting-at-549">graphics card</a>, the RTX 5090D.
What Happened: The RTX 5090D has been designed to meet <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/10/41209333/jensen-huang-on-china-sanctions-were-exporting-american-technology-which-is-really-terrific-for-the">U.S. trade sanctions</a>, resulting in about a 29% decrease in AI performance compared to the global RTX 5090 model.
The AI TOPS has been reduced from 3,352 to 2,375. Despite this reduction, the RTX 5090D maintains most of the specifications of its international counterpart.

The Total Processing Power (TPP) of the RTX 5090D is reported at 4,750, just below the U.S. export limit of 4,800, <a href="https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/gpus/nvidia-cuts-down-the-china-specific-rtx-5090d-ai-tops-performance-by-almost-23-percent-to-meet-us-export-guidelines">reported</a> Tom's Hardware.

This move follows previous instances where Nvidia narrowly met export guidelines, drawing attention from U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo.
The RTX 5090D is scheduled to launch in China on Jan. 30, priced at CN¥ 16,499 ($2,250).

Why It Matters: Last year in September, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang addressed the challenges posed by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/23/10/35345164/is-nvidia-benefiting-from-us-sanctions-on-china">U.S. sanctions on China</a>. He said, "Nvidia is an American company, and our government and the administration would love to see us succeed."
The restrictions aim to block China from leveraging advanced AI chips for military applications, which pose <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40523419/chinese-firms-are-reportedly-accessing-high-end-nvidia-ai-chips-using-aws-and-microsoft-cloud-servic">potential national security concerns</a>.
However, these measures have also complicated Nvidia&#8217;s ability to sell its high-performance chips in China—a key market that accounted for about 17% of its fiscal 2024 revenue.
Nvidia&#8217;s stock <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/events/25/01/42862049/nvidia-stock-closed-tuesday-down-6-after-hitting-all-time-highs-what-happened">experienced a 6% drop</a> after hitting all-time highs on Tuesday, following product announcements at CES 2025. During the event, Huang also unveiled a collaboration with Toyota to integrate its Orin chips into advanced driver-assistance systems.
Price Action: Nvidia&#8217;s stock dropped 6.22% on Tuesday, closing at $140.14. However, it rebounded in after-hours trading, rising 1.04% to $141.60, as per <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/lxquj26b2sag">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Nvidia 5000 Series: RTX 5090 Version For China Costs $250 More But Its AI Power Cut 29% — Here's Why

E-commerce giants Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and MercadoLibre Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MELI#NASDAQ">MELI</a>) are positioned to strengthen their market dominance in Mexico following the country&#8217;s implementation of new import tariffs targeting Asian competitors, according to Itau BBA analysts.
What Happened: Mexico <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42780039/amazons-chinese-rivals-temu-and-shein-got-hit-hard-by-tariffs-in-this-country-is-it-a-sign-of-things-to-come-under-trump">imposed a 19% tax on courier service imports</a> from nations without free-trade agreements, primarily affecting Chinese fast-fashion retailers Shein and PDD Holdings Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PDD#NASDAQ">PDD</a>) Temu. The move comes as Mexico intensifies scrutiny of Chinese imports amid broader trade tensions with Asia.
The policy maintains preferential treatment for U.S. and Canadian imports under the USMCA trade agreement, with exemptions for purchases under $50 and a reduced 17% duty on items valued between $50 and $117. 
This structure particularly benefits Amazon, which sources approximately 30% of its Mexican inventory from the U.S., Itau BBA said, according to Reuters.
While MercadoLibre imports about 15% of its Mexican merchandise from China, analysts expect the company to see net positive effects from reduced competition. The development follows Mexico&#8217;s recent implementation of additional protective measures, including a 35% tariff on finished fabric products and a 15% duty on raw textiles.

Why It Matters: The timing is significant as President-elect Donald Trump has promised &#8220;very serious&#8221; tariffs on Mexican imports, citing concerns about the country serving as a conduit for Chinese goods. Mexican authorities have responded with &#8220;Operation Clean-Up,&#8221; targeting contraband Asian imports.
&#8220;The policy appears designed to close loopholes that previously allowed companies, primarily from China, to redirect goods to the local market through preferential import channels,&#8221; Itau BBA analysts wrote, highlighting the potential for established e-commerce players to capture market share.
The measures come as Mexico grapples with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42780039/amazons-chinese-rivals-temu-and-shein-got-hit-hard-by-tariffs-in-this-country-is-it-a-sign-of-things-to-come-under-trump">inflation above 4%</a>, a factor that had previously helped Asian retailers gain market share through competitive pricing strategies.
