Former Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) co-leader Vivek Ramaswamy has clarified his departure from the organization, emphasizing a strategic pivot toward elected office while <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43078027/vivek-ramaswamy-expected-to-exit-trumps-doge-task-force-amid-ohio-governor-bid-report">addressing speculation about his relationship</a> with Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk.
What Happened: Speaking on the Flagrant podcast, Ramaswamy detailed his evolving approach to government reform. &#8220;If you want to save a lot of money, you got to do it through legislation,&#8221; Ramaswamy said, highlighting his focus on legal and constitutional issues.
The entrepreneur-turned-politician defended his exit, which had sparked rumors of tension with Musk, by explaining the natural divergence in their approaches. While Musk continues to lead DOGE&#8217;s technology-centric strategy, Ramaswamy expressed his intention to pursue reform through elected office, particularly at the state level.
During the interview, Ramaswamy criticized the current regulatory landscape, pointing to unelected bureaucrats&#8217; outsized influence on policy. &#8220;Most of the laws that decide what you can and can&#8217;t do in your life were actually never passed by Congress,&#8221; he noted, citing examples ranging from fishing licenses to nuclear plant permissions.

Why It Matters: While stopping short of a formal announcement, Ramaswamy indicated his political aspirations would be revealed &#8220;in the next couple of weeks.&#8221; His comments particularly highlighted the governor&#8217;s role in driving executive action, suggesting a potential bid for Ohio&#8217;s governorship.
The transition marks a significant shift for Ramaswamy, who sees state-level executive positions as crucial leverage points for implementing meaningful government reform. His focus appears to be on addressing both federal and state-level regulatory challenges through elected office rather than through organizational reform efforts.

EV giant Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) has marked the option for white interiors as sold out on its launch series of the refreshed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/01/43221344/tesla-model-y-pricing-evolution-cuts-hikes-refreshes-over-two-years">Model Y vehicle</a> in the U.S., even before deliveries have commenced. 
What Happened: Tesla launched the refreshed Model Y in the U.S.<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/01/43183608/tesla-launches-refreshed-model-y-in-us-with-25-price-hike-full-self-driving-included"> earlier this month</a>. Deliveries of the launch series of the long-range all-wheel drive variant of the refreshed vehicle, priced at $59,990, are slated to start in March. 
Launch series refers to a limited edition of the vehicle with exclusive badging and more that the company intends to make to celebrate the start of production. 
However, the option for customizing the Launch series vehicle with white interiors is already marked as sold out on Tesla&#8217;s U.S. website. Customers now have only the option to opt for an all-black five-seat interior. 
As for exterior paint options, the company has listed just quicksilver, ultra red, pearl white multi-coat, and stealth grey in the U.S. In China, however, the company has also listed an option for glacier blue exterior paint on the vehicle. 
Why It Matters: Tesla CEO Elon Musk&nbsp;said on Wednesday that all of the company's many factories will start producing the new Model Y vehicle starting in February but will <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43328898/elon-musk-warns-teslas-new-model-y-will-result-in-several-weeks-of-lost-production-for-ev-giant-in-q1">lose production in the days of retooling factory.</a>
The CEO also warned that margins will be impacted due to idle capacity and other ramp-related costs. However, these challenges will be overcome once production is ramped, he said.
While in the U.S., the refreshed vehicle is listed alongside older versions of the vehicle, in China, it replaced the older version. In both geographies, deliveries are slated to start in March.
Model Y is manufactured at Tesla's factory in California, as well as its gigafactories in Shanghai, Berlin, and Texas.

BlackRock (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLK#NYSE">BLK</a>), the world&#8217;s largest asset management organization, is noted for having a diverse investment portfolio, leveraging trillions of dollars at its disposal to bag shares in companies worldwide. The company has made several successful bets over the years.  
In one of the prime examples, BlackRock increased its exposure to quantum computing stock Rigetti Computing Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RGTI#NASDAQ">RGTI</a>) in the third quarter of 2024. Since then, the stock has skyrocketed 1477%.
What happened: According to the 13F filing with the SEC, BlackRock purchased 538,966 shares of RGTI in the third quarter, taking its total holdings to 9,447,600 shares, worth $7.39 million in value then, for the period ending Sept. 30.
This made BlackRock the fifth-biggest shareholder in Rigetti, a firm known for making quantum computers and the superconducting quantum processors that power these computers.
Since then, the company has hit an exponential curve. The stock price has surged 13x, adding billions in market valuation in a few months. RGTI closed at an all-time high of $20 earlier this month.
Assuming BlackRock didn't sell any of the company's shares since reporting its third-quarter investments, its RGTI stash would be worth $116.20 million today.

Why It Matters: Rigetti, along with the broader quantum computing space, witnessed tailwinds after tech giant Google teased its next-generation chip, "Willow,&#8221; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42397333/google-quantum-ais-willow-chip-outsmarts-supercomputers-completing-tasks-in-minutes-that-would-take-10-septillion-years">sparking interest</a> in equities tied to the technology.
Defiance Quantum ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QTUM#NASDAQ">QTUM</a>), an ETF offering exposure to some of the biggest quantum computing stocks, has gained 32% in the last four months.
Notably, BlackRock has also been known for bullish convictions about Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), the world's largest cryptocurrency. The firm <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42463001/blackrock-advocates-for-2-bitcoin-allocation-in-multi-asset-portfolios">suggested a "reasonable range" for Bitcoin allocation</a> in multi-asset portfolios to be between 1% and 2%.
BlackRock launched its own Bitcoin spot exchange-traded fund last year, called iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBIT#NASDAQ">IBIT</a>), which ended up becoming <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42737368/blackrocks-bitcoin-fund-breaks-records-with-historic-etf-launchwill-it-surpass-the-worlds-biggest-gold-etf-in-january">the most successful ETF debut in history</a>.
Price Action: Shares of RGTI were up 0.81% in after-hours trading. The stock closed 2.84% lower at $12.30 during Thursday&#8217;s regular trading session, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced a technological milestone on Friday, revealing the deployment of NVIDIA Corp.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) first full 8-rack GB200 NVL72 system on Microsoft Corp.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) Azure platform, marking a major advancement in the companies&#8217; strategic partnership.
What Happened: &#8220;First full 8-rack GB200 NVL72 now running in Azure for OpenAI—thank you Satya Nadella and Jensen [Huang]!,&#8221; Altman wrote on X.

The GB200 NVL72, known for delivering 30 times faster real-time large language model inference and enhanced AI training capabilities, represents the latest evolution in OpenAI&#8217;s infrastructure expansion. This deployment comes as Microsoft reported a 175% year-over-year surge in AI revenue and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/43327008/microsofts-13-billion-run-rate-and-openai-azure-deal-spark-surge-in-enterprise-demand-for-ai-solutions-just-first-tranche-of-future-growth-potential">a $13 billion annual AI revenue run rate</a>.
large language model inference is&nbsp;the process by which LLMs use their training to generate human-like responses to user input.
The infrastructure upgrade arrives amid reports that SoftBank Group Corp. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBY#OTC">SFTBY</a>) is in discussions to lead a massive $40 billion <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/01/43374528/softbank-may-lead-openais-40-billion-funding-round-at-a-300-billion-valuation-despite-deepseek-disruption-report">funding round for OpenAI</a> at a potential $300 billion valuation. 
However, OpenAI faces challenges on the competitive front. The company recently alleged that Chinese AI startup DeepSeek <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43354099/openai-alleges-deepseek-used-proprietary-models-without-permission-as-microsoft-investigates-ai-secu">used its proprietary models without authorization</a>, leading to the blocking of suspected accounts for terms of service violations.

Why It Matters: This controversy emerged after DeepSeek claimed to have developed its R1 model for just $5.6 million using lower-end Nvidia chips.
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella acknowledged DeepSeek&#8217;s &#8220;real innovations&#8221; during a recent earnings call but remained noncommittal about whether these developments mark a turning point <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/01/43327016/microsoft-ceo-satya-nadella-accepts-deepseek-ai-has-some-real-innovations-but-wont-say-if-they-mark-a-turning-point-for-ai-cost-reduction">for AI cost reduction</a>. 
Despite these challenges, OpenAI appears to be strengthening its partnership with Microsoft. Earlier this week, Altman <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43354099/openai-alleges-deepseek-used-proprietary-models-without-permission-as-microsoft-investigates-ai-secu">hinted at expanded collaboration</a>, stating on social media that the &#8220;next phase of the MSFT x OAI partnership is gonna be much better than anyone is ready for.&#8221; 
This aligns with Microsoft CFO Amy Hood&#8216;s recent statement that OpenAI&#8217;s Azure commitment represents just the &#8220;first tranche&#8221; of future growth potential.

As Mastercard Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MA#NYSE">MA</a>) surpassed analyst <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43345282/mastercard-q4-earnings-revenue-and-eps-beat-strong-growth-in-payments-and-cross-border-transactions">expectations</a> for the fourth quarter, it highlighted an important function that grew massively in 2024, securing the data of billions of users.
What Happened: Mastercard tokenized about four billion transactions per month in 2024, which was up 40 times over the past six years, said the company CEO Michael E Miebach during its earnings call.
Tokenization is a process that enhances security by replacing sensitive card data with tokens, reducing fraud risk. It also improves the customer experience by simplifying online checkout.
The CEO explained that Mastercard&#8217;s massive growth in tokenized transactions underscores its critical role in enabling secure and frictionless digital commerce, paving the way for a future of password-free and seamless payments.
&#8220;While the growth of token makes the ecosystem safer and more secure, we also benefit on the natural tailwind associated with the growth of token usage,&#8221; added Miebach.
Additionally, in response to an analyst, the CEO also highlighted that tokenization is a key component of Mastercard 2030 vision and has &#8220;tremendous opportunity&#8221;.
&#8220;We&#8217;ll be looking at other use cases and see what that can do for our company overall,&#8221; he added.

Net revenue reached $7.49 billion as compared to the expected $7.39 billion, a 14% increase year-over-year). Adjusted earnings per share was at $3.82, as compared to the expected $3.69, a 20% rise.
Payment network revenue grew 13%, driven by increased gross dollar volume of 12%, cross-border volume of 20%, and switched transactions of 11%. The company forecasts low double-digit net revenue growth for both the first quarter and the full year 2025.

Price Action: Mastercard&#8217;s stock rose 3.14% on Thursday and advanced 0.29% to $567.66 per share in after-hours trading, whereas, the exchange-traded fund tracking S&amp;P 500, SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) was up 0.54% at $605.04.
Mastercard has a consensus ‘buy&#8217; with a price target of $542.84, according to the 34 analysts <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/MA/analyst-ratings">tracked by Benzinga</a>. The high target is $654, and the low is $424. Recent ratings by Piper Sandler, Citigroup, and Oppenheimer suggest a $587.67 target, implying a 3.53% upside.

Earnings Scheduled For January 31, 2025

President Donald Trump has resurfaced his old threat of imposing 100% tariffs on the BRICS nations via Truth Social, the social media platform owned by his company Trump Media &amp; Technology Group Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DJT#NASDAQ">DJT</a>). But this fund manager, while agreeing with his views asks how the will U.S. manage the production of essential goods.
What Happened: Trump, who had issued the 100% tariff threat earlier in December, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/24/12/42405749/bitcoin-far-more-of-a-threat-than-a-brics-reserve-currency-says-jeremy-siegel-find-it-curious-that-trump-championed-btc-at-100k">warned the BRICS nations again</a>, calling them &#8220;hostile,&#8221; for planning a combined BRICS currency.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/31031532/Screenshot-2025-01-31-at-1.45.23%E2%80%AFPM-1024x348.png" alt="" class="wp-image-759658" /></figure>
Aditya Sesh, founder and managing director of Basiz Fund&nbsp;Services, told <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/">Benzinga</a> that the U.S. is justified in using tariffs to protect the dollar&#8217;s strength and promote reciprocal trade, aiming to boost American exports and improve negotiating leverage for the country.
However, Sesh out that &#8220;Assuming 100% tariffs are imposed, how will the U.S. manage production from Slippers to Ships? Will American factories come up so quickly, and if so, at what cost? What about the inflationary impact of consumables in the U.S. when imports become expensive? It will also impact not just the American capital markets but also global capital markets.&#8221;
Trump announced Thursday that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/01/43353698/trump-slaps-25-tariffs-on-canada-mexico-loonie-peso-slide-oil-climbs">U.S. will implement a 25% tariff </a>on imports from Canada and Mexico, effective Saturday, Feb. 1. The decision comes in line with Trump&#8217;s pledge to impose tariffs, citing concerns over illegal immigration, trade imbalances, and fentanyl trafficking from Canada and Mexico.
BRICS, an intergovernmental organization, comprises nine countries including Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Iran, Egypt, Ethiopia, and the United Arab Emirates.
Trump, in his post, drew a firm line, demanding a commitment from these nations to abandon such efforts. He also suggested these nations find &#8220;another sucker nation&#8221; to trade with, emphasizing the importance of access to the US economy.
The statement expresses confidence that the BRICS nations will be unsuccessful in their attempts to displace the dollar in international trade. It concludes with a stark warning: any country that attempts to challenge the dollar&#8217;s position should expect a severed trading relationship with the U.S.

Why It Matters: U.S. economists, back in December had questioned Trump&#8217;s views on this matter. Jeremy Siegel, in a <a href="http://-https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/24/12/42405749/bitcoin-far-more-of-a-threat-than-a-brics-reserve-currency-says-jeremy-siegel-find-it-curious-that-trump-championed-btc-at-100k">note </a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/24/12/42405749/bitcoin-far-more-of-a-threat-than-a-brics-reserve-currency-says-jeremy-siegel-find-it-curious-that-trump-championed-btc-at-100k">dated</a> Dec. 9, 2024, argued that Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) posed a greater threat to the dollar&#8217;s reserve currency status than any BRICS initiative.
A senior economist at WisdomTree and former professor at the University of Pennsylvania, Siegel <a href="https://resources.wisdomtree.com/weekly-siegel-commentary/archive-december-9-2024">said</a> that he finds it contradictory that Trump threatens BRICS nations with tariffs for seeking a new reserve currency, while simultaneously supporting Bitcoin, a similar alternative global currency.
Similarly, in his X post dated Dec. 4, Peter Schiff, who is the chief economist and global strategist at Europac.com said that Trump has &#8220;the relationship backwards&#8221; and the BRICS nations are at a disadvantage, exchanging valuable goods for U.S. fiat currency, which is subject to inflation. The U.S. receives tangible products it cannot produce domestically, while the BRICS nations receive currency that loses value, he added.

<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">You have the relationship backwards. The BRICS nations are the suckers for accepting our fiat currency for their real consumer goods. We get actual products that make our lives better, that we lack the capacity to produce ourselves. All they get in return is our inflation.

Meiji Seika Pharma and ARCALIS Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minami-soma City, Fukushima Prefecture; President: Satoshi Takamatsu) have been working together to establish an infrastructure that enables the integrated production of pharmaceuticals, from active ingredients to final products, within Japan.

The technology transfer was managed and implemented by CSL Seqirus, the global licensor of KOSTAIVE&#xAE;. As a result, domestically produced products, with active pharmaceutical ingredients manufactured at ARCALIS's Minami-soma facilities and formulated at Meiji Seika Pharmatech, are now able to be shipped for commercial use in Japan.

EV giant Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) had 125,665 employees as of December end, down 10.5% year-on-year, following a layoff in April, the company said in a new filing.
What Happened: As of Dec. 31, 2023, Tesla's headcount worldwide was at 140,473, according to the company&#8217;s annual report. 
In April 2024, Tesla laid off 10% of its global workforce, which seemingly impacted over 14,000 employees. Several then-senior Tesla executives, including Rohan Patel,&nbsp;Drew Baglino, and Rebecca Tinucci subsequently left the company. 
Tesla&#8217;s employee headcount has been rising steadily from 2019 till 2023. The global layoff created a year-on-year drop in employee headcount for the first time after 2019.

The company promised new and affordable models this year and said that it would start testing its autonomous ride-hailing service in Texas in June with vehicles deployed with its full self-driving (FSD) driver assistance technology, driving investor sentiment.
Tesla stock closed up 2.9% at $400.28 on Thursday, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro.</a>&nbsp;
