Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) has settled a lawsuit with the estate of 72-year-old Clyde Leach, who was killed in an accident when their Tesla Model Y crashed into an Ohio gas station in 2021.
What Happened: A court filing in San Francisco on Monday revealed that Elon Musk's EV giant reached an agreement to settle the lawsuit, which was scheduled to go on trial in April 2026. However, the terms of the settlement weren't made public, according to Reuters.
The lawsuit claimed that Leach's Tesla Model Y experienced ‘sudden acceleration' which led to the vehicle slamming into a gas station pillar. The crash caused the victim blunt force trauma, burns, and other injuries, which led to their death.
Tesla has denied any wrongdoing and claims the Model Y was ‘state-of-the-art' with no manufacturing defects or design problems, the report says. The company has maintained that the crash occurred due to driver error.
Why It Matters: News of the settlement comes in as Tesla crash <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/03/44409706/tesla-crash-victims-families-demand-accountability-push-for-probes-free-from-elon-musks-interference-we-are-deeply-concerned">victims' families had written</a> to U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy in March, urging independent probes into the accidents.
"We are deeply concerned that NHTSA&#8217;s oversight of autonomous vehicle systems may be weakened,&#8221; the letter stated. The letter also expressed concerns about Musk's influence within the U.S. government, as the billionaire also heads the DOGE, or Department of Government Efficiency.&nbsp;
Elsewhere, Tesla has been touting its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44834045/tesla-touts-fsd-capabilities-elon-says-predicts-cars-will-soon-drive-itself-right-to-your-house">autonomous driving capabilities</a>, with Musk claiming that a Tesla car will drive itself to people's houses this year. However, experts have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44068902/tesla-fsd-like-a-12-year-old-driving-compared-to-waymo-says-ross-gerber-warning-uber-has-got-to-be-hurting">criticized Tesla's FSD</a> and claim that the system isn't as advanced as Alphabet Inc.'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>) Waymo.
FSD is crucial for Tesla as the company plans to roll out its Cybercab ride-hailing services in Austin, Texas. However, Donald Trump's tariffs have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44831422/donald-trumps-145-tariffs-on-china-could-disrupt-teslas-cybercab-semi-production-report">reportedly caused a disruption</a> to the company's plans as Cybercab's production has been affected.
Price Action: TSLA is currently trading at $227.50 on the NASDAQ, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Tesla Settles Lawsuit Over Fatal 2021 Crash Involving Model Y

Fundstart&#8217;s Tom Lee has urged Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to expedite trade deals for a positive &#8220;policy shock&#8221; to the stock markets.
What Happened: Lee reshared an X post by Charles Gasparino and said, &#8220;White House needs to put points on the board.&#8221;
As explained by Gasparino, &#8220;putting points on the board&#8221; refers to a saying by salesmen when they &#8220;hit a rough spot&#8221; and need to do something about it quickly.
According to Lee and Gasparino, the market has been telling the same to Bessent, Lutnick, and the entire Trump trade negotiation team.
&#8220;They got to cut some deals and let the world know, and they have to do so soon because this could get even uglier,&#8221; Gasparino&#8217;s post added.

This comes after the Donald Trump-led administration paused the reciprocal tariffs for 90 days on April 9th, but no negotiated deal with any country has been announced yet.

Why It Matters: On Monday, Trump criticized the Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell and called him "Mr. Too Late,&#8221; igniting concerns about the Fed&#8217;s independence.
Last week on Friday, economic adviser Kevin Hassett told the reporters at the White House that Trump and his team would <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44888232/trumps-top-economic-adviser-kevin-hassett-says-white-house-is-exploring-options-to-fire-fed-chair-jerome-powell-the-president-and-his-team-will-continue-to-study">"continue to study"</a> whether Powell could be fired. &#8211;
Trump&#8217;s comments led to a heavy selloff on Wall Street as the S&amp;P 500 index tracked by SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) fell 2.36% and the Nasdaq 100 tracked by Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) slipped 2.46%.
The U.S. Dollar Index Spot fell the most in three years since 2022, whereas the 10-year Treasury yields jumped to 4.42% and the two-year yields were at 3.77%.
Gold prices hit a fresh record of $3,499.92 per ounce amid all the uncertainty.
After Monday&#8217;s close, the Nasdaq 100 was down 19.86% from its all-time high of 22,222.61 points. The S&amp;P 500 index was 16.09% lower than its previous record of 6,147.43 points, and the Dow Jones was 18.09% below its 52-week high of 45,073.63 points.

Tom Lee Urges Bessent And Lutnick To 'Put Points On The Board' For A 'Positive Policy Shock' To The Stock Market

Gold prices shattered the $3,500 per ounce mark on Tuesday, reaching a milestone as investors flee to safe-haven assets amid growing economic uncertainty and questions about U.S. monetary policy independence.
What Happened: The precious metal has gained more than 30% this year, demonstrating <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44904179/wall-street-sinks-dollar-slides-as-trump-ramps-up-fed-attacks-whats-driving-markets-monday">remarkable resilience despite fluctuations</a> in interest rate expectations, benchmark yields, and inflation data. Monday&#8217;s rally pushed the SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>) up 2.6% to $314.73.
&#8220;Gold&#8217;s &#8216;all-weather&#8217; characteristic signals something that goes beyond economics, politics, and higher-frequency geopolitical developments,&#8221; wrote Mohamed El-Erian, Allianz Chief Economic Advisor, in a Financial Times opinion <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/b5fb1e6b-bb8d-4ab5-9c92-f1f6fc40a54b">piece</a> on Monday.
El-Erian highlighted consistent central bank purchases as a key driver, noting that countries are gradually diversifying reserves away from dollar dominance while exploring alternatives to the dollar-based payments system that has anchored international finance for eight decades.

Why It Matters: The rally intensified after President Donald Trump renewed criticism of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell on Monday, suggesting the possibility of removing him before his term expires in 2026. These remarks raised concerns about the potential politicization of U.S. monetary policy, sending the U.S. Dollar Index to its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44904179/wall-street-sinks-dollar-slides-as-trump-ramps-up-fed-attacks-whats-driving-markets-monday">lowest level since early 2022</a>.
&#8220;What is at stake here is not just the erosion of the dollar&#8217;s dominant role but also a gradual change in the operation of the global system,&#8221; El-Erian warned, adding that while no single currency is poised to replace the dollar, &#8220;an increasing number of little pipes are being built to go around this core.&#8221;
The gold surge coincides with broader market turmoil, as the S&amp;P 500 fell 2.8% to 5,158 on Monday while Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) gained 0.72% to $88,022, mirroring gold&#8217;s momentum as investors seek alternatives to traditional currencies.

Gold Tops $3,500 As Investors Flee To Safety: Mohamed El-Erian Warns Of Global System Shift Amid Trump-Powell Tensions

Charlie&nbsp;Munger didn't mince words when asked back in 2011 whether Donald&nbsp;Trump belonged in the Oval Office, but the longtime vice-chairman of Berkshire Hathaway did shift his views a few years later.
What Happened: "The last person, almost, I'd want to be president of the United States is Donald&nbsp;Trump," Munger said in a clip of a CNN Business interview, which has now gone viral. Munger bluntly cited "vainglory" and "puffery" as Trump&#8217;s disqualifying traits. Pressed for more, Munger cut the list short: "I could go on and on."

At the time, Trump was floating a 2012 GOP bid and blanketing cable shows with boasts about his business acumen and doubts about President Barack&nbsp;Obama's birthplace.

Munger, famed for his plain‑spoken critiques and partnership with Warren&nbsp;Buffett, saw little overlap between reality‑TV bravado and the sober judgment he believed the presidency demands. "He might be quite decisive," Munger allowed, before adding that he did not regard Trump as "an ideal decision‑maker or a manager of anything."
A U-Turn? In 2017, Munger surprised many by reversing his earlier stance on Trump, telling a Daily Journal annual meeting in Los Angeles that "President Donald&nbsp;Trump is not <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/24/07/39761038/charlie-munger-said-trump-was-right-on-having-way-more-control-over-our-borders-they-hate-him-s">wrong on everything</a>." He admitted he'd "gotten more mellow," <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/07/39936535/roll-with-it-charlie-munger-had-once-said-trump-isnt-wrong-on-everything-what-the-h-ll-youre-not">urged people</a> to tolerate Trump's differences, and quipped, "if there's a little danger, what the hell, you're not going to live forever anyway."
The billionaire investor, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/11/35989969/charlie-munger-buffetts-trusted-partner-dies-at-99">who died in 2023</a> at age 99, often warned that ego can cloud judgment. His blunt dismissal of Trump pre‑dates the property mogul's successful 2016 campaign but foreshadowed a deep partisan divide over leadership style and truthfulness.

GE Aerospace Gears Up For Q1 Print; Here Are The Recent Forecast Changes From Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts

Chinese retail investors are flocking to their domestic stock market in a display of patriotism amid <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44868280/us-listed-chinese-stocks-face-250-billion-forced-selling-risk-as-delisting-fears-emerge-what-investors-need-to-know">escalating trade tensions with the United States</a>.
What Happened: Since U.S. President Donald Trump announced &#8220;reciprocal tariffs&#8221; on April 2, often referred to as &#8220;Liberation Day,&#8221; Chinese individual investors have been joining state-backed institutional buyers to defend their stock market against foreign pressures, reported Reuters.
&#8220;The goal isn&#8217;t to make money. It&#8217;s about contributing to my country,&#8221; said Cao Mingjie, a home designer from Guangdong province who began investing after the tariff announcement. &#8220;Every individual should stand by the country until the end.&#8221;
This patriotic investment movement has generated 45 billion yuan ($274 million) in net retail inflows since the April 4 market rout, according to Datayes. 
Zhou Lifeng, an investor from China&#8217;s northwestern Ningxia region with holdings worth 3 million yuan ($414,000), expressed the sentiment driving these actions: &#8220;Being patriotic means holding on to your stocks.&#8221;

Why It Matters: The shift comes amid escalating U.S.-China tensions that extend beyond tariffs. Goldman Sachs recently warned of a 66% probability of delisting risk for Chinese ADRs, with an estimated $250 billion in Chinese stocks held by U.S. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44868280/us-listed-chinese-stocks-face-250-billion-forced-selling-risk-as-delisting-fears-emerge-what-investors-need-to-know">institutions potentially affected</a>.
The patriotic buying focuses on sectors aligned with China&#8217;s national agenda, including semiconductors, defense, and consumer stocks. Meanwhile, Chinese e-commerce giants like JD.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>) and Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NASDAQ">BABA</a>) have announced measures to help exporters pivot to domestic markets.
This retail investor support comes as Chinese Premier Li Qiang has urged government officials to strengthen efforts to stabilize the stock market, and as state-backed institutional investors publicly pledged to increase share purchases.
As tit-for-tat tariffs between the two economic powers surge past 100%, some investors see the market as another battlefield. Hedge fund manager Yang Tingwu, who redirected his portfolio into stocks after the tensions escalated, put it bluntly: &#8220;This is war, only without gun smoke.&#8221;

Verizon, Tesla And 3 Stocks To Watch Heading Into Tuesday

Nio Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NIO#NYSE">NIO</a>) has announced it will delay the launch of its Firefly EV in Europe to Q3, after it claimed to launch the product in the first half of 2025.
What Happened: The Chinese EV manufacturer cited constraints related to expanding its sales and services network within the region, which is proving to be more challenging than initially predicted, Reuters reported on Tuesday.
Company CEO William Li spoke to reporters at an event in Shanghai ahead of the Shanghai Auto Show, sharing that the company plans to announce deals with European partners at the event and plans to seek additional local partners to aid in Nio's operations in Europe.
The report suggests the company is also developing a right-hand drive version of the Firefly with planned expansions into markets like SEA and the United Kingdom. The company also plans to begin operations in Singapore.
Why It Matters: News of the delay comes in as the company recently shared its Q1 2025 results, which <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44452057/teslas-chinese-rival-nio-warns-of-disappointing-q1-results-deliveries-revenue-set-to-miss-estimates">missed market estimates </a>by some distance. The company delivered close to 43,000 vehicles by March 31.

Tom Lee Says $1.4 Trillion Market Meltdown Matches Annual Trade Deficit, Presses White House To Fast-Track Deals

EV journalist and independent Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) analyst Troy Teslike has released his first-quarter estimates ahead of the automaker's earnings announcement on Tuesday.
What Happened: On Monday, Troy Teslike unveiled his first-quarter projections for Tesla, offering a broadly mixed outlook on the company&#8217;s performance, relative to Wall Street expectations.
Teslike, who reports a self-verified error rate of just 1.4% on Tesla&#8217;s production and 3.0% on deliveries, expects the EV maker to post $19.21 billion in first-quarter revenue, a 10% year-over-year drop, 25% decline from the previous quarter, and below the $20 billion consensus estimate.
See More: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44914686/wall-street-consensus-outdated-on-tesla-q1-says-gary-black-stock-price-will-depend-on-affordable-car-commentary-elon-musks-doge-moves">Gary Black Says Wall Street Consensus Outdated On Tesla Q1: Stock Price Will Depend On Affordable Car Commentary, Elon Musk&#8217;s DOGE Moves</a>
The sharpest decline is projected in Tesla's core automotive sales and leasing segment, with revenue estimated at $13.40 billion, down 30% from the fourth quarter of 2024 and 21% year-over-year. Regulatory credit revenue is forecast at $564 million, marking an 18% sequential decline but a 27% increase from last year. Service revenue, by contrast, is down just 2% year-over-year.
Tesla's energy generation and storage division is expected to be a bright spot, with projected sales of $3.02 billion, up 84% year-over-year. However, even this falls short of consensus estimates, according to Teslike&#8217;s forecasts. 
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Hi everyone. Here's my detailed calculation for Tesla&#39;s Q1 2025 earnings: Non-GAAP EPS: • Analyst Consensus: $0.38 • My Estimate: $0.38 The last two columns show my estimate and the analyst consensus. We both arrived at the same EPS estimate, though some of the numbers,… <a href="https://t.co/vlWKsJG7aV">pic.twitter.com/vlWKsJG7aV</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Teslike's projections, however, outpace Wall Street on margins, with gross profit estimated at $3.45 billion versus the Street's $3.18 billion. He also expects gross margins at 17.9%, ahead of the 15.9% consensus, while attributing this to the absence of &#8220;0% Financing&#8221; offers for the Model Y in the U.S. in Q1.
There are a few other variations in his forecast, but Teslike ultimately lands on an earnings per share estimate of $0.38. matching analyst expectations, but marking a sharp 48% drop from the previous quarter, and a 16% decline year-over-year.
Why It Matters: The prolific Tesla analyst has been bearish on the company&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43214246/researcher-expects-teslas-vehicle-deliveries-to-remain-flat-in-2025-contrary-to-musks-20-30-growth-prediction">near-term prospects</a> since January, predicting that deliveries in 2025 will be flat, countering even Elon Musk&#8217;s claims of a 20% to 30% growth. 
In February, Teslike doubled down on his outlook, warning that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/02/43967968/tesla-unlikely-to-deliver-500000-evs-in-a-quarter-in-2025-says-researcher-doesnt-seem-possible-this-year-either">situation had deteriorated</a> further. He said it was unlikely Tesla would reach 500,000 deliveries in any quarter of 2025, and even 450,000 could be a stretch, citing weakening brand sentiment as a key factor.
Tesla has been <a href="https://benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44778739/elon-musks-political-fallout-fuels-record-dump-of-used-tesla-cars-now-selling-for-thousands-below-market-value">grappling with political backlash</a> tied to Musk's affiliation with President Donald Trump. With protests dubbed &#8220;Tesla Takedown&#8221; gaining steam in recent months, there was a surge in Tesla models being dumped in used car markets, often at significantly lower prices.
There are, however, analysts who remain bullish on the stock, despite the headwinds facing the company and the larger auto market. Morgan Stanley (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MS#NYSE">MS</a>) analyst Adam Jonas said last month that the current <a href="https://benzinga.com/news/25/03/44305257/those-holding-how-are-you-coping-with-the-dump-tesla-investor-asks-fellow-shareholders-if-theyll-sell-or-ride-it-out-no-matter-what">pullback is an opportunity</a> to buy &#8220;the embodied AI compounder,&#8221; while maintaining a Price Target of $430, or a 90% upside from current levels.
Jonas cites the company&#8217;s plays, such as robotics and AI, as having far more appeal than its legacy EV business or its autonomous cars. &#8220;It is increasingly clear to us that the commercial opportunity of non-auto expressions of embodied AI is likely far larger and faster-adopting than that of autonomous cars,&#8221; he wrote, reported <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/morgan-stanley-sees-tesla-stock-reaching-430-reinstates-as-top-pick-over-ai-robotics-play-212959864.html">by</a> Yahoo Finance.

On Monday, Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) dropped by 4.51% after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44897966/huawei-prepares-for-bulk-shipment-of-new-advanced-ai-chip-as-china-seeks-nvidia-alternatives">a report revealed</a> that Huawei Technologies is ramping up AI chip production, but a Bernstein analyst downplayed the significance, saying the AI chip giant &#8220;can&#8217;t compete&#8221; anyway in the Chinese market due to export restrictions.
What Happened: Bernstein analyst Stacy Rasgon told Yahoo Finance that Nvidia&#8217;s operations in China have been severely constrained due to U.S. export controls, which prevent the company from selling its top-tier AI chips like the A100 and H100.&nbsp;
&#8220;I don&#8217;t see why it matters. Nvidia is not allowed to sell anything in China anymore,&#8221; he stated, adding, &#8220;They can&#8217;t compete anyway, they&#8217;re not allowed.&#8221;
Rasgon was referring to the White House&#8217;s imposition of an indefinite export ban on Nvidia's H20 chips to China, prompting the company to warn in a filing last week that it could take a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44828742/nvidia-stock-is-tumbling-after-hours-heres-why">potential $5.5 billion hit</a> to its quarterly revenue.

&#8220;We&#8217;ve basically just handed the China AI market to Huawei anyway, so like I&#8217;m not surprised by any of this at all,&#8221; the analyst said.

Why It&#8217;s Important: Huawei's decision to mass ship its advanced 910C AI chip to local customers next month was reported by Reuters on Monday.
The 910C chip from Huawei, designed to be more competitive with Nvidia's offerings, combines two previous Huawei chips into a single package, effectively doubling its performance.
This move positions Huawei to take advantage of Nvidia's absence in China's AI chip market, a situation exacerbated by the latest U.S. regulations requiring licenses for Nvidia's lower-tier chips as well.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang also undertook a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44890578/nvidias-jensen-huang-meets-shanghai-mayor-amid-fresh-us-chip-curbs">high-level tour of China</a> last week. In fiscal 2024, China contributed $17 billion in revenue, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44846329/nvidias-china-sales-face-setback-as-h20-chip-restrictions-catch-key-buyers-off-guard-reuters">making up 13% of Nvidia's</a> total sales.
Meanwhile, Chamath Palihapitiya, often referred to as the &#8220;SPAC King,&#8221; has expressed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44891778/nvidia-not-acting-in-us-interests-says-chamath-palihapitiya-questions-how-alibaba-or-deepseek-are-one-step-ahead">concerns about Nvidia</a>, alleging that the company may not be prioritizing the best interests of the U.S.
Price Action: Nvidia&#8217;s stock has dropped 29.93% since the beginning of the year but is still up 21.87% over the last 12 months, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.
Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings assigns the company a robust growth score of 94.78%. <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 with</a> other leading tech firms.
