Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk returned to his Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) roots on Monday, joining CEO Satya Nadella at &#8220;Build 2025&#8221; to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/05/45505379/whats-going-on-with-microsoft-stock">announce the integration</a> of xAI's Grok into Azure — a full-circle moment for the tech billionaire who once interned at the software giant.
What Happened: Speaking for a brief chat at Microsoft's annual developer conference, Nadella welcomed Musk, recalling his early connection to the company.
"I know you started off as an intern at Microsoft. You were a Windows developer and of course, you're a big PC gamer still," Nadella said.
Musk reflected on those early days, saying, "I had one of the early IBM PCs with MS-DOS… I programmed video games in DOS, and then later in Windows. Remember Windows 3.1?"

The conversation quickly turned to AI, as the two tech leaders introduced Grok&#8217;s integration with Microsoft's Azure cloud platform.
Musk shared insights into Grok 3.5 — xAI's newest model, highlighting its foundation in physics-based reasoning."It&#8217;s incredibly important for an AI model to be grounded in reality… I've not seen anyone break the laws of physics."
Musk also highlighted Grok's real-world applications in Tesla, SpaceX and customer service, where its performance has already shown promise. "You can yell at it, and it's still going to be very nice," he joked.
Nadella added, "Cracking the physics of intelligence is perhaps the real goal for us to be able to use AI at scale."

Why It's Important: Microsoft has become one of the earliest major cloud providers to offer managed access to Grok. Through its Azure AI Foundry platform, Microsoft will make both Grok 3 and Grok 3 Mini available with the same service-level guarantees it provides for its other products.
Customers will also receive billing directly from Microsoft, consistent with how other AI models are offered on the platform.
However, according to The Verge, this unexpected decision may stir controversy due to Microsoft's strong partnership with ChatGPT creator OpenAI. The report also noted that Nadella has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/05/45463922/satya-nadella-once-bet-big-on-chatgpt-maker-openai-now-hes-reportedly-embracing-rivals-like-deepseek-and-building-cheaper-ai-models-to-future-proof-microsoft">been advocating within the company</a> to bring Grok onboard, aiming to position Microsoft as the go-to platform for hosting the most widely used AI models.
Interestingly, Musk has previously taken pot shots at the partnership between Microsoft and OpenAI — the AI company he co-founded in 2015 but exited in 2018. He has repeatedly said that Microsoft holds <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37864558/elon-musk-draws-attention-to-satya-nadellas-words-in-lawsuit-if-openai-disappeared-tomorrow-we-have">too much influence over OpenAI</a>.

Price Action: On Monday, Microsoft stock rose by 1.01%, closing at $458.87. It saw a slight additional uptick of 0.028% in after-hours trading, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Pfizer Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PFE#NYSE">PFE</a>) announced Monday it has secured exclusive global rights, excluding China, to 3SBio Inc.&#8216;s bispecific antibody SSGJ-707 in a deal potentially worth up to $6 billion.
The agreement includes a $1.25 billion upfront payment to the Chinese biopharmaceutical company, with additional milestone payments of up to $4.8 billion. Pfizer will also make a $100 million equity investment in 3SBio upon closing, expected in the third quarter of 2025.
SSGJ-707, which targets PD-1 and VEGF pathways simultaneously, is currently in clinical trials for non-small cell lung cancer, metastatic colorectal cancer, and gynecological tumors in China. 3SBio plans to initiate Phase 3 trials there in 2025.
The transaction gives Pfizer manufacturing and commercialization rights globally except China, with an option for Chinese market rights. If approved, Pfizer will produce the drug substance in North Carolina and the drug product in Kansas, while paying 3SBio tiered double-digit royalties on sales.

Pfizer Secures Global Rights To China's 3SBio's Cancer Drug In $6 Billion Deal

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent made fresh clarifications on the country&#8217;s evolving trade posture, particularly in relation to China, and the reshoring of critical supply chains.
What Happened: On Sunday, Bessent posted a video clip on X from his recent appearance on CNN's State of the Union with Jake Tapper. The segment focused on U.S.-China trade relations and Bessent's comments on the administration's push to reshore key industries linked to national security.

&#8220;Our goal is not to decouple from China, but to open markets and restore balance,&#8221; Bessent writes alongside the video excerpt. &#8220;We'll continue trading with China, especially in non-strategic goods, and at lower tariff levels,&#8221; he says.
In the clip, Bessent highlighted the administration's focus on restoring domestic production in industries deemed vital to national security. &#8220;During COVID, we realized that we had some very strategic shortfalls, whether it was medicines, semiconductors, steel,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Those are the industries we're working to bring back.&#8221;
Bessent reiterates in the video that they &#8220;don't want to decouple with China," and that &#8220;President [Donald] Trump actually wants to open up China for business.&#8221;

Why It Matters: This comes just a week after a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45345994/us-china-tariff-truce-will-alleviate-worst-fears-but-prevent-falling-yields-keeping-economy-under-pressure-says-craig-shapiro">truce was reached</a> between the two countries in Geneva, when tariffs were rolled back to 30% from 145%.
During the interview, Bessent nonetheless <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45486508/scott-bessent-signals-liberation-day-2-0-coming-if-countries-dont-sign-trade-deals-president-trump-has-put-them-on-notice">issued a fresh warning</a> to America&#8217;s biggest trading partners, saying that tariffs could soon snap back to their &#8220;reciprocal&#8221; levels seen during &#8220;Liberation Day,&#8221; if they fail to negotiate in good faith.
While speaking with Jake Tapper on Sunday, Bessent downplayed the Moody&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45484954/treasury-secretary-bessent-addresses-moodys-downgrade-and-tariff-impact-n-walmart">downgrading of U.S. Government debt</a>, calling it a &#8220;lagging indicator.&#8221;

What Happened: Bitcoin recaptured $106,000 after tapping liquidity and bouncing off the support around $102,000.
Ethereum fought off the Sunday correction, surging over 7% to reclaim the mid-$2,500s. The second-largest cryptocurrency's market dominance once again rose above 9%.
These moves coincided with the Senate&#8217;s vote to advance the GENIUS Act, often known as the stablecoin bill, opening the door for its final passage.
Nearly $300 million was liquidated from the cryptocurrency market in the last 24 hours, with over $150 million in bullish bets getting erased.
Bitcoin's Open Interest rose 5.92% in the last 24 hours, while funds locked in Ethereum's derivatives spiked by over 8%.&nbsp;
Interestingly, over 57% of top traders on Binance with an open BTC position were short on the apex cryptocurrency.
The "Greed" sentiment prevailed in the market, according to the Crypto Fear and Greed Index, indicating strong buying demand.

Analyst Notes: In a note to Benzinga, Arthur Azizov, founder and investor of B2 Ventures, said that Bitcoin bulls were now in control, with strong support at $102,000 and robust resistance around $106,000.
"If buyers manage to push through this range, especially with the return of the Coinbase premium, which hints at renewed U.S. demand, then a new ATH could be set within a week or slightly more," Azizov said.&nbsp;
He added that BTC has the ingredients to break through $108,000 and test the $110,000 level, where a psychological resistance may arise.
Cryptocurrency analyst and trader Michaël van de Poppe weighed in on the "typical" Sunday rally and subsequent retrace on Monday.
"Now, that move is over and Bitcoin is back at $105,000, ready to test the all-time high in the coming 1-2 weeks. Altcoins to outperform," Van De Poppe predicted.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin Rally As Senate Advances Key Crypto Bill: Analyst Says BTC Could Touch A Fresh All-Time High In Coming Days

Nippon Steel Corp. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NPSCY#OTC">NPSCY</a>) has pledged to invest $14 billion in United States Steel Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/X#NYSE">X</a>) operations, including up to $4 billion for a new steel mill, as part of efforts to secure the Donald Trump administration&#8217;s approval for its $14.9 billion acquisition bid, according to documents.
The Japanese steelmaker plans to allocate $11 billion toward U.S. Steel&#8217;s infrastructure through 2028, Reuters reported citing sources, significantly increasing its initial commitment of $1.4 billion. 
The enhanced investment package comes ahead of a crucial May 21 deadline for a national security review, after which Trump will have 15 days to decide the deal&#8217;s fate.
Former President Joe Biden and Trump have previously opposed the merger, advocating that U.S. Steel remain American-owned &#8211; a position particularly resonant in the swing state of Pennsylvania, where the company is headquartered.
Biden <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/01/42787508/biden-blocks-14-9b-us-steel-takeover-shares-plunge">blocked the deal in January</a>, citing national security concerns, prompting lawsuits from both companies.
Nippon Steel Corp. and United States Steel Corp. did not immediately respond to&nbsp;<a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga</a>'s request for comment.
Price Action: United States Steel Corp stock closed at $41.62 on Monday, up 3.15%. After hours, it rose to $41.78, up 0.38%. Year to date, the stock is up 27.67%.
Nippon Steel Corp closed at ¥2,870 ($19.78) on Tuesday on the Tokyo Exchange, down 0.19%. Year to date, it is down 9.12%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Nippon Steel Pledges $14 Billion, Including New US Mill, To Win Trump's Approval For US Steel Deal: Report

U.S. stock markets ended the day higher, with the S&amp;P 500 logging its fifth straight gain. The Nasdaq led the charge, jumping 4.36% to close at 19,215.46, fueled by a surge in tech stocks. The Dow Jones added around 137 points, or 0.3%, to finish at 42,792.07, while the S&amp;P 500 inched up 0.09% to 5,963.60.
These are the top stocks that gained the attention of retail traders and investors throughout the day:
UnitedHealth Group Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>)
UnitedHealth shares surged 8.21% to close at $315.89, with an intraday high of $316.29 and a low of $297.25. The stock has a 52-week range of $630.73 to $248.88. The rise comes after a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45494155/unitedhealth-stock-is-rising-monday-whats-going-on">relief bounce</a> following a significant selloff last week. The stock has faced pressure throughout the year, with shares down 42% year-to-date. The decline accelerated in April due to weak first-quarter results that missed analyst estimates.
CoreWeave Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRWV#NASDAQ">CRWV</a>)
CoreWeave&#8217;s stock climbed 7.83% to end at $86.59, hitting an intraday high of $88.9 and a low of $76.08. The stock reached a 52-week high of $88.90, with a low of $33.52. The Nvidia-backed AI cloud infrastructure company saw a 45% increase over the past week. This surge was fueled by a 13F filing revealing Nvidia&#8217;s major stake and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45498149/coreweave-crwv-stock-is-up-42-over-the-past-week-whats-going-on">analyst upgrades</a> from JPMorgan, BofA, and Needham.
Mullen Automotive Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MULN#NASDAQ">MULN</a>)
Mullen Automotive shares skyrocketed 100.12% to $0.34, with a high of $0.49 and a low of $0.17. The dramatic increase is attributed to a short squeeze triggered by preliminary second-quarter results. The company filed a notice of delayed quarterly results, which included unaudited figures showing improved financial performance, sparking <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/05/45503758/mullen-automotive-stock-is-ripping-higher-monday-whats-driving-the-action">retail investor interest</a>.
Microsoft Corporation&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>)
Microsoft&#8217;s stock rose 1.01% to close at $458.87, with an intraday high of $459.59 and a low of $450.8. The stock is nearing its all-time high of $468.35, with a 52-week low of $344.79. The increase is driven by ongoing momentum in artificial intelligence and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/05/45505379/whats-going-on-with-microsoft-stock">cost-cutting measures</a>, positioning the stock close to record levels. The company announced the addition of xAI&#8217;s Grok and other AI tools for Azure data centers at its Build developer conference.
Tesla Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>)
Tesla shares fell 2.25% to $342.09, with a high of $343 and a low of $333.37. The stock&#8217;s 52-week range is $488.54 to $157.40.

Unitedhealth, Coreweave, Mullen Automotive, Microsoft, Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

Mark Cuban just swam his final lap in Shark Tank. The billionaire's last episode aired Friday, capping a 15-season run on the show, to spend more time with family. While not every one of Cuban's 200-plus deals made on the show paid off, a handful became huge successes. Here are five that made him serious money.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Dude Wipes</h3>
Cuban took a 25% stake in Dude Wipes in 2015 during Season 7 of Shark Tank for $300,000. The flushable wipes brand has since racked up over $200 million in <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/retail/sean-riley-dude-wipes-55dd042f">annual revenue</a>, according to WSJ. Cuban has even publicly stated in 2021 in an <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2021/11/24/dude-wipes-founders-why-we-shouldve-followed-mark-cubans-top-advice.html">interview</a> with CNBC that the company is among his favorite investments, adding that the startup is "killing it" and "taking over the toilet paper category."
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Tower Paddle Boards</h3>
Tower Paddle Boards landed a $150,000 deal from Cuban for 30% equity in 2011 in what was just the third season of Shark Tank at the time. The company's growth has since paid Cuban over $1 million in dividends. The company's flagship product is inflatable paddle boards, but now also sells hard paddle boards, inflatable docks and lifestyle products meant for the beach.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Nuts 'N More</h3>
Nuts 'N More snagged a $250,000 investment from Cuban for 35% of the company back in 2013. Cuban loved that it satisfied his sweet tooth without guilt: "I'm always looking for foods that solve my sweet tooth and are healthy. This company fit that bill perfectly," he told the Dallas Business Journal. The peanut butter venture went on to average about <a href="https://www.foodrepublic.com/1337991/nuts-n-more-shark-tank-now/">$6 million</a> in annual sales, according to Food Republic.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Simple Sugars</h3>
Skincare startup Simple Sugars caught Cuban's eye in 2013 and landed $100,000 for one-third equity. Cuban checked in on the brand in a 2018 "Beyond the Tank" episode, where Lazzari said her new goal was to become a $30 million business. Cuban called Lani Lazzari a "mini-me" hustler, and by 2023, the company was topping $5 million in yearly revenue, according to Shark Tank Recap, which is a website that closely tracks companies that get featured on the show.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Prep Expert</h3>
When Prep Expert (formerly 2400 Expert) pitched its SAT/ACT test prep business in 2016, Cuban jumped in with an offer of $250,000 for 20%. The company's sales jumped from around $1 million to roughly $5 million annually. Cuban told Inc.com in 2016 that he has "<a href="https://www.inc.com/helena-ball/mark-cuban-most-successful-shark-tank-company-founder-tells-all.html">yet to fail</a>" when partnering with determined entrepreneurs like founder Shaan Patel.

Mark Cuban's $300,000 Toilet Paper Bet Now Makes $200M Annually — These 5 Shark Tank Bets Made Him Millions

The Senate voted in favor of advancing the GENIUS Act, also known as the stablecoin bill, Monday night, overcoming a key procedural hurdle and paving the way for the bill&#8217;s final passage.
What Happened: The Senate managed to exceed the three-fifths majority, or the 60-vote threshold, required to invoke cloture and end debate. This action is intended to usher the legislation into a period of extended debate prior to a series of final votes that will determine its passage out of the Senate.
Senator&nbsp;Bill Hagerty&nbsp;(R-Tenn.), the bill sponsor, deemed the development as &#8220;groundbreaking,&#8221; stating that it would ensure the U.S. dollar dominance and trigger demand for U.S. treasuries.

Senate Crypto Bill Passes Key Vote, GENIUS Act Moves Toward Final Passage

Senate minority leader, Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), is not holding back in his criticism of President Donald Trump over rising consumer prices, placing blame squarely on the latter&#8217;s tariff policies.
What Happened: On Monday, in a post on X, Schumer called out Trump for &#8220;trying to bully&#8221; Walmart Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) for being transparent about price increases resulting from the tariffs.

The Democratic leader believes Trump is targeting businesses to deflect attention from the consequences of his trade policies. &#8220;Trump can try to blame businesses,&#8221; he said, &#8220;but he [Trump] can't escape the economic realities of his own trade war.&#8221;
Schumer says &#8220;he [Trump] made this mess,&#8221; and it was Trump, and not Walmart, who is responsible for &#8220;sending prices up&#8221; in recent months.

Why It Matters: This comes just days after Trump posted on Truth Social, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45484675/trumps-tariff-challenge-amid-rising-price-concerns-president-tells-walmart-to-eat-the-tariffs">urging Walmart</a> to &#8220;Eat The Tariffs,&#8221; instead of passing on the costs to its consumers
Others, such as economist Peter Schiff, have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45486985/peter-schiff-slams-trumps-tariff-logic-higher-prices-are-necessary-to-shrink-trade-deficit">expressed similar views</a>, calling out the lack of logic in Trump&#8217;s arguments. &#8220;If the goal of tariffs is to reduce our trade deficit, the only way that will happen is if Walmart and other importers raise their prices,&#8221; he said.
The CEOs of Walmart, Target Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TGT#NYSE">TGT</a>) and Home Depot Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HD#NYSE">HD</a>) told Trump during a meeting at the Oval Office last month that &#8220;the shelves will be empty&#8221; if the <a href="https://benzinga.com/25/05/45404626/walmart-target-home-depot-ceos-tell-trump-prices-will-rise-shelves-will-be-empty-if-tariffs-persist">tariffs continue to persist</a>.
&#8220;The big box CEOs flat out told him [Trump] the prices aren't going up; they're steady right now, but they will go up,&#8221; one leading administration official said. 
Price Action: Walmart shares were down 0.12% on Monday, trading at $98.12, and are down 0.11% in after-hours trading.

Chuck Schumer Slams Trump Over Rising Prices, Says Walmart's Transparency Exposes 'Economic Reality' of Tariffs: 'He Made This Mess'

Alphabet Inc.&#8217;s (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>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43649987/google-io-2025-officially-set-for-may-20-21-heres-what-to-expect-from-ai-breakthroughs-to-the-future-of-android-and-pixel-9a">annual developer conference</a>, Google I/O 2025, will kick off tomorrow, May 20, and run through May 21 at the Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, California. On Monday, one top analyst said the stakes couldn't be higher for the company's future in search.
What Happened: In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Deepwater Asset Management's Gene Munster called Google's developer conference a "big deal," underscoring the pressure on the company to modernize search before competitors do.
&#8220;It's the company's chance to prove it's not afraid of the innovator's dilemma and that it's willing to take bold, outside-the-box steps to stay relevant in generative AI without blowing up the business model that built it,&#8221; Munster stated.

He noted that with competition from OpenAI's ChatGPT, Anthropic's Claude and xAI's Grok, users are spending less time on traditional search. While AI Overviews have boosted some usage, the overall growth in Search is slowing.
The core tension: users want quick, direct AI answers, not pages of blue links.
&#8220;I still don't know how they thread the needle between giving consumers what they want (a simple trusted answer) while still giving investors what they want (revenue growth with continued high margins),&#8221; Munster noted.

Why It's Important: Alphabet Inc. reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44995955/alphabet-q1-earnings-highlights-google-search-youtube-cloud-show-robust-momentum">first-quarter revenue</a> of $90.23 billion, marking a 12% increase from the same period last year and surpassing the consensus estimate of $89.2 billion, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0424">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Revenue from Google Search reached $50.7 billion, up from $46.2 billion a year ago, while total advertising revenue climbed to $66.9 billion from $61.7 billion in the previous year.
Google I/O has long served as the platform for debuting key software innovations, such as the latest Android releases and strides in AI. At last year's event, Google introduced Gemini Live along with several AI-powered capabilities.
This year, AI is likely to be the main focus once more. The Sundar Pichai-led company is anticipated to reveal fresh updates to its Gemini AI, introduce Android 16 and roll out enhancements across Google Search, Assistant and Workspace.
Price Action: Alphabet Inc.&#8217;s Class A shares declined 12.08% year-to-date, while Class C decreased by 11.94%.&nbsp;
According to Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings, Alphabet holds a growth score of 66.98%. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Click here to see how it measures up against other firms</a>.

Google I/O 2025 A 'Big Deal,' Says Gene Munster: Sundar Pichai's Alphabet Has No Choice But To Disrupt Itself Before Someone Else Does

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) opposed the GENIUS Act, popularly known as the stablecoin bill, on the Senate floor Monday, citing worries that it would enable President Donald Trump&#8217;s &#8220;crypto corruption.&#8221;
What Happened: Warren remarked that the Republican-led legislation would supercharge the stablecoin market and the reach and profitablity of the Trump family-backed USD1.
&#8220;For the first time in history, this bill will make our president the regulator of his own financial product,&#8221; Warren said. &#8220;If the Congress does nor fix it here, it will be aiding and abetting his corruption everytime USD1 is used to finance a corrupt deal.&#8221;
Warren also raised concerns that the bill would give terrorists and drug cartels easier access to money through stablecoins. While stablecoins such as Tether (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDT</a>) have been used for illegal activities, a survey by blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis found that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/01/36698244/over-99-of-cryptocurrency-on-chain-is-legal-bitcoin-use-in-criminal-activity-falls-again">vast majority of cryptocurrency transaction activity</a>, around 99.6%, is used for legal purposes.
The White House didn't immediately return&nbsp;<a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga's</a>&nbsp;request for comment on Warren&#8217;s allegations.

Taking a diametrically opposite view, Anthony Scaramucci, a known cryptocurrency advocate and former White House Communications Director, argued that&nbsp;the GENIUS Act would benefit the U.S., its citizens, the dollar, banks, fintech startups, and the cryptocurrency sector. He warned that Democrats opposing the bill would be committing &#8220;political suicide.&#8221;

USD1, which has risen to become the fifth-largest stablecoin by capitalization, has been chosen&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45160707/eric-trump-says-world-libertys-stablecoin-will-be-used-to-close-a-2-billion-deal-dollar-token-to-also-get-integrated-with-justin-suns-tron-blockchain" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">to close a $2 billion deal&nbsp;</a>between Abu Dhabi investment firm&nbsp;MGX&nbsp;and cryptocurrency exchange&nbsp;Binance, as announced by&nbsp;Eric Trump&nbsp;at a recent cryptocurrency conference. 
A Trump-affiliated organization holds a 60% share in the parent company of the firm behind the stablecoin, World Liberty Financial, while his son Eric Trump sits on the board.
Warren deemed deals like these as a way for big companies and foreign governments to evade scrutiny and pay off Trump personally.

Elizabeth Warren Urges Congress To Vote Against Crypto Bill, Saying It Turbocharges Trump Corruption — Anthony Scaramucci Warns Democrats Against 'Political Suicide'

On Monday, Cathie Wood-led Ark Invest made significant trades involving Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) and Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>).
The TSMC Trade saw Ark Invest making substantial purchases of the Taiwan-based chip giant&#8217;s shares. The Ark Innovation ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#NYSE">ARKK</a>) and ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKW#BATS">ARKW</a>) collectively acquired 197,776 shares. This move comes as TSMC collaborates with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45487650/nvidia-tsmc-and-apple-supplier-foxconn-partner-to-develop-taiwan-ai-supercomputer">Nvidia and Foxconn</a> to develop a powerful AI supercomputer in Taiwan. The partnership aims to enhance AI computing infrastructure in Asia, potentially boosting TSMC&#8217;s technological edge. 
However, TSMC&#8217;s Arizona factory has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/25/04/44932342/taiwan-semiconductors-arizona-factory-faces-441-million-loss-amid-supply-chain-labor-cost-challenges">faced challenges</a>, incurring a $441 million loss due to supply chain and labor cost issues. On Monday, TSMC shares ended the day 0.4% lower at $193.50 in New York. Ark&#8217;s trade was valued at $3.83 million.
The Meta Platforms Trade involved Ark Invest reducing its holdings in the Mark Zuckerberg-led social media behemoth. The ARKK and ARKW ETFs sold a total of 101,251 shares. This decision coincides with Meta&#8217;s ongoing legal battles, including a plea to dismiss an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45485147/meta-pleads-with-judge-to-dismiss-ftcs-antitrust-case-in-high-stakes-trial">FTC antitrust case</a>. The case could significantly impact Meta&#8217;s market dominance. Despite these challenges, Meta has ambitious plans to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45160454/mark-zuckerbergs-meta-targets-1-4-trillion-revenue-from-generative-ai-by-2035-court-filing-reveals">generate up to $1.4 trillion in revenue</a> from generative AI products by 2035. Meta shares ended the day at $640.43. Ark&#8217;s Meta sale was estimated to be worth $6.5 million.
Other Key Trades:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>ARKW sold 5,988 shares of Jack Dorsey-led Block Inc. (XYZ)</li>
<li>ARKW bought 106,061 shares of GitLab Inc. (GTLB).</li>

Cathie Wood's Monday Moves: Ark Bets On Nvidia-Supplier TSMC, Sells $6.5 Million Of Mark Zuckerberg's Meta Shares

Decades before Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) became the world's second most valuable company, co-founder and CEO Jensen Huang admitted he launched the chipmaker with just $200 in his pocket—and no complete business plan.
What Happened: In a 2009 talk at Stanford's Technology Ventures Program, Huang recalled the humble beginnings of Nvidia, which now boasts a market cap exceeding $3.3 trillion.
"So I was 30 years old, and I'd never taken a single business class," he said, adding that the early days were anything but fast-paced.
For about six months, Hunag recalled that they just sat around one of the co-founder's townhouses in Fremont. The big decision each day was, ‘Where do you guys want to go to lunch?'"

He then incorporated Nvidia on his 30th birthday in 1993, with the help of a lawyer, using the $200 he had in his pocket to buy a 20% stake. He then told his two co-founders, Chris Malachowsky and Curtis Priem, who each invested $200 for a 20% stake in the company.
Despite this slow start, Huang said what really matters to venture capitalists isn't a polished business plan, but the people behind it. VCs don't invest in business plans, he said, adding that they invest in great people. "Your reputation matters. Your history matters."
He then admitted he never finished the startup book he picked up. "I never finished my business plan … never could figure out how to finish a business plan."

Why It's Important: Nvidia was established on April 5, 1993, to advance 3D graphics in gaming and multimedia.
A major turning point came in 1999 when the company introduced the GPU (graphics processing unit), a breakthrough that would go on to transform the computing landscape.
In May 2023, Nvidia's market value surpassed $1 trillion, and within a year, it crossed the $2 trillion and $3 trillion marks, briefly becoming the world's most valuable publicly traded company in 2024.
As of now, Nvidia holds a market capitalization of $3.306 trillion, making it the second most valuable company globally, just behind Microsoft.
The company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/24/08/40635978/if-you-invested-1-000-in-nvidia-stock-at-ipo-heres-how-much-youd-have-now">went public on Jan. 22, 1999</a>, with shares priced at $12. A $1,000 investment made during its IPO would now be worth approximately $3.39 million, based on a current share price of $135.57, turning early investors into potential millionaires.
Nvidia is scheduled to release its first-quarter earnings after the market closes on May 28. According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/login">Benzinga Pro</a>, analysts expect the company to report earnings of 89 cents per share, with revenue projected at $43.07 billion.
Price Action: Nvidia shares edged up 0.13% to $135.57 during Monday's regular trading session and gained an additional 0.074% in after-hours trading.
According to Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings, Nvidia boasts a strong growth score of 95.02%. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Click here to see how it compares to other leading tech companies</a>.

Jensen Huang Once Revealed He Never Attended A Single Business Class And Began Nvidia With Just $200 In His Pocket: 'Never Could Figure Out How To Finish A Business Plan'

Real estate investor and "The 10X Rule" author Grant Cardone has constantly shown up on social media platforms. He regularly posts on X, YouTube, Facebook, and other networks. Also, he hosts a podcast and regularly appears as a guest on other shows.
Cardone has made it a point to show up in front of people as many times as he can. The success he has experienced with this objective is part of the reason why he no longer believes that a good first impression is the most important part of success.
"The ultimate way to build trust is through consistency," Cardone explained in <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@grantcardone/video/7503960662683503903?lang=en">a TikTok clip</a>.&nbsp;
Don't Miss:
<ul class="wp-block-list">

</ul>
If you want to build a successful business, expand your network, or achieve a long-term goal, consistency has become more important than making a good first impression. Here's why Cardone believes that's the case.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Your Content Will Be Replaced In Microseconds</h2>
The clip starts with Cardone sharing a brutal truth that content creators and social media influencers know too well. Your content will be replaced in microseconds. When most people finish reading an article or social media post, they immediately move on to the next one.
Short attention spans make it more difficult for people to remember your first impression. Millions of posts and articles are competing for attention at any given moment. If you stop at your first impression, people will forget about you. That's even true if you made a strong first impression.
Consistency can get you noticed amid the noise. That's why Cardone posts so often. He knows that if he slows down, people will gradually forget about his brand.&nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Trust Comes From Being Seen Everywhere</h2>
Cardone went on to mention that Starbucks claims it doesn't run any advertising. However, the real estate guru states that Starbucks is doing advertising with all of its locations. Seeing them on the street builds trust, and it's a common strategy among institutions.
Many of the largest banks have thousands of branches. Each time you see one of these branches, it builds trust through familiarity. The largest corporations don't stop at the first impression. Instead, they strive to dominate the conversation and be at the top of their mind.
Cardone understands this and attempts to be seen on every platform. He jumped into Periscope and Meerkat back when those live-streaming platforms were available. Both of those platforms shut down, but Cardone was able to capitalize on the significant short-term attention those platforms provided. Some of the people who watched his live streams now follow him on other social networks.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">All Impressions Can Be Changed Over Time</h2>
The video clip wraps up with Cardone sharing how he had to call his wife 26 times before she would give him a chance. She initially didn't give him the time of day, but Cardone's persistence paid off. Now, the couple has been happily married for 20 years.
If first impressions were the dealbreaker, Cardone wouldn't be married to his current wife. He then compared it to acquiring customers. They may not convert the first time or even like your offer. However, the frequency of the delivery of a marketing message over a long period of time can change people's minds. Cardone has used this truth to sell many books, courses, and programs over the years.
Someone who made a bad first impression can redeem themselves over time. Likewise, someone who made a strong first impression can see all of their effort go to waste if they make a bad impression moving forward.

Grant Cardone Reveals The One Thing That Dethroned Making A Good First Impression: 'The Ultimate Way To Build Trust Is Through Consistency'

A Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) Cybertruck owner took to Facebook to vent his frustration after a front trunk malfunction turned into a full-blown breakdown that left him stranded—and humiliated—in front of a crowd of kids.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Frustration Builds Over Recurring Frunk Issues</h2>
&#8220;Frunk has always been misaligned slightly,&#8221; the owner wrote in the Tesla Cybertruck Owners group that user @StonkKing4 <a href="https://x.com/StonkKing4/status/1921620951847801249">shared on X</a> on May 11. &#8220;They replaced the hinges and actuators last summer, but it always sounded like a pop, the crunch whenever it's opened and closed&#8230; the one headlight was broken I'm pretty sure from the frunk crushing into it.&#8221;
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

</ul>
The latch eventually gave out completely. The Cybertruck registered that the frunk wasn't fully closed and triggered a safety limit, capping the vehicle's speed at just 15 mph. &#8220;So while I had problems driving to the game, it would now only allow a maximum speed of 15MPH,&#8221; he added.
The timing couldn't have been worse. The owner was on his way to a baseball game with his son's gear locked in the frunk. When he couldn't get it open or drive at normal speed, he had to call an Uber. &#8220;I was stuck with a $50 Uber bill, and 28 ten-year-old kids went from thinking the Cybertruck was the coolest vehicle, to pointing and laughing as it was towed away on a flatbed truck,&#8221; he said.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Marketing Shift Amid Poor Sales</h2>
This kind of breakdown and negative press comes at a rough time for Tesla. The company has recently revamped how it markets the Cybertruck, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44919745/cybertruck-gets-a-down-to-earth-redesign-as-tesla-shifts-to-traditional-pickup-marketing-amid-poor-sales">moving away from sci-fi visuals</a> and Mars references. The new pitch shows the truck hauling trailers, navigating rough terrain, and serving family outings—a clear attempt to appeal to traditional pickup buyers.
One Tesla salesperson told <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-cybertruck-revamp-working-man-f-150-2025-4">Business Insider</a>, &#8220;Pitching it to truck people is more about the functionality,&#8221; noting that potential buyers often ask how much it can tow or carry.
Tesla has also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44755221/tesla-unveils-new-cybertruck-long-range-trim-with-a-362-mile-range-and-reduced-features">introduced a cheaper rear-wheel-drive model</a> priced at $62,490 after federal tax credits. The strategy aims to reverse the flagging demand.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Inventory Surges Past 10,000 Units</h2>
According to industry site <a href="https://tesla-info.com/blog/inventory-stats-regional/US?q=1">Tesla-Info.com</a>, as of May 5, Tesla reportedly had 10,236 unsold Cybertrucks in inventory—a record high. The figure came down to 4,487 as of May 14. That&#8217;s still plus 3,728, or 491.1%, on last quarter.
<a href="https://electrek.co/2025/05/05/tesla-cybertruck-inventory-skyrockets-to-record-high/">Electrek</a> estimated Tesla was probably sitting on up to $800 million in unsold Cybertrucks at one point.&nbsp;
Despite early hype and a futuristic design, the Cybertruck now faces a stark reality check. For some owners, it's more embarrassment than excitement.
