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;

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.

Darling Ingredients (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAR#NYSE">DAR</a>) and Tessenderlo Group disrupted the enormously profitable health, wellness and nutrition industry this week, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/b45340702/darling-ingredients-and-tessenderlo-group-agree-to-form-new-company-to-accelerate-growth-in-attrac">announcing an agreement</a> to merge the collagen and gelatin units of their waste recovery operations into the newly formed Nextiva. Darling already produces 30% of the world's collagen supply, while the joint venture could generate up to $1.5 billion in revenue in its first year of operation.&nbsp;
Nextiva will sit in collagen's sweet spot, with industry growth forecast to rise 9.5% annually, reaching over $14 billion in 2033. This biological gold is extracted from animal skin, tendon, cartilage and bone that waste recovery companies used to throw away as useless byproduct. Its popularity in cosmetics, joint health, supplements, biomaterials and pharmaceuticals has exploded in the last decade, with anti-aging and skin health benefits touted by Jennifer Aniston, Kate Hudson, Kourtney Kardashian and other celebrities.

Texas-based Darling has struggled in the last two years, with annual revenue dropping from $6.79 billion in fiscal 2023 to $5.22 billion in fiscal 2024. This marked the first revenue downturn for the S&amp;P Mid Cap 400 component since 2019. The hookup is a strategic move to respond to Wall Street about declining performance and regrow earnings by leveraging its leadership in the profitable animal byproducts segment.&nbsp;
Top tier investment firms including Piper Sandler, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/45039081/td-cowen-says-twenty-one-reflects-most-meaningful-validation-of-strategys-bitcoin-treasury-operation">TD Cowen</a>, and UBS cover Darling stock but have yet to issue research reports on this week's news. Clearly, their endorsements will help the deal proceed without roadblocks. In late April, Jason Gabelman at TD Cowen lowered his Darling price target from $37 to $34, pointing to an inconsistent track record on guidance. His ‘take' on the new venture will be watched closely by Wall Street.
Chairman and CEO Randall C. Stuewe touted the venture, saying, &#8220;Collagen has represented the fastest-growing area of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/earnings/25/04/44962097/what-to-expect-from-darling-ingredientss-earnings">Darling Ingredients</a>&#8216; food segment business over the past several years.&#8221; He added that the joint venture will provide a "platform for accelerated product development and growth" and create an opportunity to "unlock significant shareholder value." Darling will own 85% of Nextiva, according to the release, while its Brussels partner holds the balance. Together they intend to operate 23 facilities on four continents, producing about 200,000 tons of collagen and gelatin in the first year.&nbsp;
Trending: Deloitte's fastest-growing software company partners with Amazon, Walmart &amp; Target – <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">Many are rushing to grab 4,000 of its pre-IPO shares for just $0.30/share!</a>
The hookup is not expected to close until 2026. The initial press release describes the venture as a noncash transaction that combines assets and capabilities, but negotiations are continuing, and no definitive documentation has been sign by principals. However, the ownership ratio between the much larger Darling and its smaller partner appears locked-in and there are no obvious red flags to the startup currently.
Nextiva will also require regulatory approval in the U.S. and European Union, which might face unexpected hurdles, given current political tensions. Meanwhile, collagen use remains unregulated and somewhat controversial, <a href="https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/considering-collagen-drinks-and-supplements-202304122911">with critics noting the refined product</a> used in supplements breaks down when ingested, rather than rebuilding our naturally produced substance. They also point to the corruptive influence of marketing hype, driven by celebrities owning companies benefiting from collagen use.
Regardless, both critics and advocates consider collagen use to be safe and our beauty-obsessed culture has a long history of chasing the latest ‘Fountain of Youth', regardless of cost. This bodes well for Darling and Tessenderlo's profit growth in coming years. And, given their giant industry footprint, they could strongly influence worldwide supply and pricing in coming decades.

Taiwan Minister of Economic Affairs J.W. Kuo said the U.S. tariffs did not <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/taiwan" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">bother Taiwanese manufacturers</a>, highlighting its leverages, notably its semiconductor ecosystem.
Kuo emphasized the U.S. dependence on Taiwan to boost its microchip manufacturing capacities, the Taipei Times <a href="https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/biz/archives/2025/05/19/2003837104" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a> on Monday, citing the minister&#8217;s interview.
Kuo expects Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) to maintain its moat over the next decade citing any tariff upsurge would primarily affect US customers instead of the foundry.

Kup expects Samsung Electronics Co (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSNLF#OTC">SSNLF</a>) to bear the maximum brunt of the tariff policies due to its lack of advanced semiconductor production capacity.
Taiwan has submitted a position paper under Section 232 of the U.S. Trade Expansion Act to define the &#8220;complementary relationship&#8221; between Taiwan and the U.S. in terms of trade and technology and adopted policies to prevent illegal transshipments, Kuo told the Taipei Times.
Trump administration on April 2 announced that it would slap &#8220;reciprocal&#8221; tariffs on global trading partners of 32%, 25%, and 24% tariffs on goods from Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan to encourage companies to manufacture their products in the US. However, President Trump recently paused the policy for 90 days.
Reportedly, Taiwan Semiconductor <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/25/05/45466444/to-serve-exploding-ai-chip-demand-taiwan-semiconductor-plans-9-advanced-factories" rel="noreferrer noopener">will construct nine</a> new&nbsp;advanced wafer manufacturing&nbsp;and packaging factories by 2025.
It plans to build nine new factories, including eight wafer fabrication plants and one advanced chip packaging factory.
The contract chipmaker expects to see 60% year-over-year growth in chip shipments with the 3-nanometer process.
Price Action: TSM stock closed at $193.50 on Monday.

Taiwan Minister Shrugs Off US Tariffs, Says Taiwan Semiconductor Will Thrive While Samsung Takes The Hit

JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) CEO Jamie Dimon delivered a sobering assessment of the economic landscape at the bank's annual investor day on Monday. 
The head of the nation's largest bank warned that markets are displaying an "extraordinary amount of complacency" in the face of mounting risks from tariffs, record U.S. deficits <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/05/45497403/is-the-dollars-global-reserve-role-at-risk-after-moodys-downgrade">and geopolitical tensions.</a>
The Details: Dimon cautioned that investors and central banks are underestimating the potential for persistent inflation and even stagflation. In fact, he said the odds of a stagflationary scenario are "roughly double" what people think, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/19/trump-tariffs-jpmorgan-chase-ceo-jamie-dimon.html">according</a> to CNBC.

He noted that the full economic impact of tariffs has yet to be felt and predicted that earnings forecasts for S&amp;P 500 companies could fall to zero growth within six months, down from about 12% at the start of the year.&nbsp;
"I think earnings estimates will come down, which means PE will come down," Dimon said, signaling the potential for further declines in stock prices if corporate profits falter.
The JPMorgan CEO also pointed to the U.S. budget deficit after Moody's downgraded the country's<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/25/05/45479078/moodys-downgrades-us-credit-rating-over-debt-deficit-concerns"> credit rating</a> last Friday, citing concerns over a sustained increase in government debt and interest payment ratios.&nbsp;&nbsp;
"We have huge deficits; we have what I consider almost complacent central banks," Dimon said.
"You all think they can manage all this. I don't think they can," he added.
Despite these headwinds, JPMorgan reaffirmed its 2025 expense and net interest income guidance, projecting $90 billion in core lending revenue with an additional $4.5 billion possible from trading, depending on market conditions.
However, the bank expects investment banking fees to drop by a "mid-teens" percentage in the second quarter compared to last year, reflecting a slowdown in dealmaking as corporate clients adopt a cautious, wait-and-see approach.
Dimon also addressed the bank's succession plans and reiterated his intention to step down as CEO within the next few years, but not offering a more specific timeline.&nbsp;
"If I'm here for four more years, and maybe two more [as executive chairman]," Dimon said, "that's a long time.

If You Invested $100 In This Stock 20 Years Ago, You Would Have This Much Today

The late Kobe Bryant was a fierce competitor on the court and an equally skilled businessman off it.&nbsp;
According to <a href="https://www.forbes.com/profile/kobe-bryant/">Forbes</a>, He amassed a $600 million fortune before his tragic death. However, Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither was Bryant's empire. During an interview before his passing, Bryant credited an<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-build-a-stock-portfolio"> investment</a> he made in himself as a teenager with setting him up for the success he enjoyed on and off the court.

Bryant's competitive streak and unflinching confidence were the signature traits of his career. Those character traits may have felt natural when Bryant burst onto the stage in 1996, but nothing could be further from the truth. Bryant's path to the NBA was full of unorthodox turns and uncomfortable situations. It started with his return to the U.S. at age 13.
Bryant's father, Joe, was a professional basketball player who finished his career playing in Italy. That necessitated taking the then five-year-old Bryant along for the ride, and America felt like a foreign country when he returned eight years later. Bryant's 2015 Documentary,<a href="https://youtu.be/8dga5amhKnQ?si=WLVRg8YEG1-8o3q5&amp;t=1199"> </a>"<a href="https://youtu.be/8dga5amhKnQ?si=WLVRg8YEG1-8o3q5&amp;t=1199">Kobe Bryant's Muse</a>" shed light on this difficult time of his young life.
During the documentary, Bryant recounts, "I didn't understand the slang. I was a little Italian boy. I didn't understand the fashion. I couldn't spell, and the teacher told my mother I was probably dyslexic. I didn't know anybody. Sitting at a lunch table all by myself, no friends. I was upset that I had moved. I had all this resentment and anger inside of me that I hadn't really let out."

This kind of experience makes some people turn inward or lose their self-confidence during their formative years, but Bryant learned to embrace being an outsider. He came to see it as a strength and not a weakness. Bryant also found a place to channel his anger: basketball.
&nbsp;"It was never viewed as, ‘I'm going to control [my anger],'&#8221; <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dga5amhKnQ">Bryant</a> said in "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dga5amhKnQ">Muse</a>". "I'm just going to push it to the side and then use it to my benefit for what it is that I love doing, which is playing the game. Once I discovered that, everything about the game changed." It may not have felt like it at the time, but this was the beginning of Bryant developing his now-infamous "mamba mentality."&nbsp;
Not all investments are monetary. Taking the time to figure out how to handle adversity and function in uncomfortable situations is one of the best investments anyone can make in themselves. The same can be said for embracing the fact that you are an outsider. Bryant would go on to be an outsider in many situations, and his early investment in mental toughness paid off almost every time.

He entered the Los Angeles Lakers locker room as an 18-year-old who never attended college. Both of these things made him very different from his teammates, who were older and all attended college before playing professional basketball. Bryant was so young that he couldn't even go to bars with his teammates until he'd been in the league for three years.
He didn't sulk or wait around for greatness to come. Bryant used the solitude to invest in himself and hone his skills. It's the same discipline he approached in his career outside of basketball. That's how Bryant won an Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film with his movie, "Dear Basketball." There is a valuable lesson for investors to learn from this story.
&nbsp;Get comfortable with being uncomfortable because learning to fight through that adversity will help you grow by leaps and bounds. Bryant's initial unease around his NBA peers eventually faded, and he became one of the game's all-time greats.

How The Late Kobe Bryant Began Building His $600 Million Fortune When He Was Only 13

General Motors Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) has announced the end of vehicle exports from the U.S. to China, a decision communicated to employees and dealers of its China export business. 
This move comes amid ongoing U.S.-China trade discussions, particularly concerning tariffs and broader economic conditions, according<a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/gm-stop-exporting-vehicles-us-china-company-says-2025-05-19/?utm_source=chatgpt.com"> to</a> Reuters.
GM&#8217;s exports to China were facilitated through its Durant Guild premium import division, which accounted for less than 0.1% of its total sales in the Chinese market. The company cited significant changes in economic conditions as the reason for restructuring the Durant Guild and optimizing GM China&#8217;s operations. This follows a similar decision by GM&#8217;s competitor, Ford Motor Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>), which halted its exports to China in April, <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/gm-stop-exporting-vehicles-us-china-company-says-2025-05-19/?utm_source=chatgpt.com">said</a> Reuters.
The broader context of these decisions includes significant financial challenges for GM in China. In December 2024, GM recorded a $5 billion charge against its Chinese operations due to increasing competition and market challenges. This included a write-down of up to $2.9 billion in its Chinese joint venture and $2.7 billion in restructuring charges. The restructuring efforts involve plant closures and portfolio optimization to counter market challenges, <a href="https://www.thetimes.com/business-money/companies/article/general-motors-takes-5bn-charge-against-operation-in-china-zf8g9d9j8?utm_source=chatgpt.com&amp;region=global">according</a> to The Times.
As part of its restructuring, GM is closing its plant in Shenyang, China, which produced Buick GL8 minivans and Chevrolet Tracker SUVs. This decision is in response to intense competition from local manufacturers and is part of a broader strategy to focus on premium vehicles under the Cadillac and Buick brands, along with its premium import business, <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/gm-closing-plant-china-part-restructuring-2025-02-14/?utm_source=chatgpt.com">said</a> Reuters.
These strategic shifts by GM and Ford highlight the challenges faced by U.S. automakers in the Chinese market, including high tariffs and increasing competition from local manufacturers, particularly in the electric vehicle sector. Both companies are adapting their operations to navigate these challenges and optimize their global strategies.
