&nbsp;Jeff Bezos, the founder of&nbsp;Amazon Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), has&nbsp;sold his Seattle mansion for&nbsp;$63 million. Bezos and his fiancée, Lauren Sanchez, have since moved to Miami, where <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/25/01/42805560/jeff-bezos-miami-billionaire-bunker-neighbor-is-selling-an-empty-lot-for-200-million-its-less-than-2-acres-and-they-paid-27-5-million">they now reside&nbsp;in a $237 million compound</a>.
What Happened: The sale of Bezos&#8217; Seattle mansion is the largest in the history of Washington state, <a href="https://www.bizjournals.com/seattle/news/2025/04/09/hunts-point-mansion-barney-ebsworth-record-sale.html">reported</a> Puget Sound Business Journal. The property was acquired by Cayan Investments LLC. Bezos had originally purchased the mansion in 2019 for $37.5 million, thus making a profit of over&nbsp;$25 million from the sale.
The mansion, situated in the upscale Hunts Point neighborhood, covers 3.27 acres and offers a view of Lake Washington. It is located just 7 miles from Amazon&#8217;s&nbsp;headquarters in downtown Seattle and&nbsp;other major tech companies like&nbsp;Microsoft Corp, Apple Inc., and Alphabet Inc.&#8216;s subsidiary Google.

Bezos and Sanchez relocated to Miami about 18 months ago, citing proximity to Bezos&#8217; parents and&nbsp;his aerospace company Blue Origin&#8216;s operations in Florida as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/25/01/42805560/jeff-bezos-miami-billionaire-bunker-neighbor-is-selling-an-empty-lot-for-200-million-its-less-than-2-acres-and-they-paid-27-5-million">reasons for the move</a>. 
Recently, Sanchez joined a Blue Origin <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/space/25/04/44786258/katy-perry-lauren-sanchez-among-blue-origins-all-women-ns-31-crew-set-to-take-flight-in-west-texas">flight to space alongside celebrities</a> Katy Perry and Gayle King. 
Why It Matters: The couple now lives&nbsp;in a three-mansion compound in&nbsp;the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/25/01/42805560/jeff-bezos-miami-billionaire-bunker-neighbor-is-selling-an-empty-lot-for-200-million-its-less-than-2-acres-and-they-paid-27-5-million">exclusive Indian Creek neighborhood</a>, also known as the &#8220;Billionaire Bunker.&#8221;
A <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/04/16/jeff-bezos-sold-seattle-mansion-for-record-breaking-63-million-lauren-sanchez-miami-compound/">report</a> by Fortune suggests that the move to Florida, a state with no capital gains tax, could also be financially beneficial for Bezos. The Washington State Supreme Court upheld&nbsp;a 7% tax on capital&nbsp;gains in March 2023, which could have significantly impacted Bezos&#8217; finances.
The couple has been engaged since May 2023, with Bezos <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42662407/jeff-bezos-says-600-million-wedding-rumor-is-completely-false-elon-musk-michael-saylor-bill-ackman-respond">recently refuting rumors of a planned $600 million wedding ceremony</a>. &#8220;This whole thing is completely false – none of this is happening,&#8221; Bezos posted on social media in December, responding to reports that claimed he and Sanchez would marry at Kevin Costner&#8217;s Dunbar Ranch in Aspen.

Taiwan Semiconductor shares are trading higher after the company reported better-than-expected Q1 financial results and issued better-than-expected Q2 revenue outlook.

On Thursday,&nbsp;Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) first-quarter results beat forecasts, fueled by <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tsmc" rel="noreferrer noopener">demand for advanced</a> processor node technologies for artificial intelligence applications.
The contract chipmaker, which supplies chips for&nbsp;Nvidia Corp's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>)&nbsp;graphics processing unit&nbsp;(GPU)&nbsp;and&nbsp;Apple, Inc's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>)&nbsp;smartphones, guided for strong second-quarter revenue.
Taiwan Semiconductor reported first-quarter net sales of $25.53 billion (839.25 billion New Taiwanese Dollars), up 41.6% year-over-year, topping the analyst consensus estimate of $23.92 billion. Net sales declined <a target="_blank" href="https://pr.tsmc.com/english/news/3222" rel="noreferrer noopener">3.4% quarter-over-quarter</a>.

Net income and earnings per share were $361.56 billion New Taiwanese Dollars and 13.94 New Taiwanese Dollars per share (or $2.12), topping the&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">analyst consensus of $1.82</a>.
In U.S. dollar terms, revenue growth was 35.3% year over year and down by 5.1% quarter over quarter.&nbsp;The top-line performance&nbsp;aligned with the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43022654/taiwan-semiconductor-q4-earnings-3nm-and-5nm-nodes-lead-topline-growth-expands-margins-issues-strong-q1-outlook" rel="noreferrer noopener">company's guidance of</a> $25.0 billion to $25.8 billion.
The company said 3-nm accounted for 22% of the total revenue, 5-nm accounted for 36%, and 7-nm technologies accounted for 15%. 7-nm and more advanced technologies comprised 73% of the total wafer revenue.
Margin Profile: Taiwan Semiconductor's AI technology moat helped it expand its quarterly gross margins by 572 bps to 58.8%. Taiwan Semiconductor's operating margin expanded by 649 bps to 48.5%.
Outlook: Taiwan Semiconductor <a target="_blank" href="https://pr.tsmc.com/system/files/newspdf/attachment/47bb551441da2d6b6a3ec0c03763e3e7a18a243e/1Q25%20%28E%29_with%20guidance_final_wmn.pdf" rel="noreferrer noopener">guided second-quarter</a> 2025 revenue of $28.4 billion to $29.2 billion versus the $26.79<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener"> billion analyst estimate</a>. It expects a gross margin of 57% to 59% and operating profit margins of 47% to 49%.
CFO Wendell Huang said, "Moving into second quarter 2025, we expect our business to be supported by strong demand for our industry-leading 3nm and 5nm technologies. While we have not seen any changes in our customers' behavior so far, uncertainties and risks from the potential impact from tariff policies exist. We will continue to closely monitor the potential impact on the end market demand, and manage our business prudently."
Taiwan Semiconductor did not&nbsp;engage in discussions to form a venture or share its technology with any company, dismissing speculation of possible collaboration with struggling chipmaker&nbsp;Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>), Bloomberg&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-17/tsmc-dismisses-intel-tie-up-talk-says-no-intent-to-share-tech?srnd=phx-technology&amp;sref=TBDibEcD" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a>,&nbsp;citing company executives.

Taiwan Semiconductor CFO Anticipates Tariffs Impact But Has Not Seen Change In Customer Behavior Yet, Issues Strong Q2 Outlook

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk&#8216;s influence in President Donald Trump&#8216;s Department of Government Efficiency has taken physical form at the General Services Administration, where staffers recently discovered unauthorized Starlink satellite transceivers connected to the administrator&#8217;s office.
What Happened: The equipment highlights Musk&#8217;s growing footprint at the obscure yet powerful federal agency that oversees government contracts and real estate worth billions of dollars, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/doge-musk-trump-ai-starlink-gsa-efficiency-d67a41d1be98db11f05ca8e4472f53bd#">reported</a> the Associated Press.
Several Musk associates now hold key positions at GSA, including acting administrator Stephen Ehikian, whose wife previously worked at Musk&#8217;s X Corp. Tesla engineer Thomas Shedd runs the agency&#8217;s technology division, while Nicole Hollander, another Musk lieutenant, leads efforts to sell federal properties.
&#8220;GSA was built for this moment,&#8221; Ehikian told employees in a recorded meeting viewed by AP. &#8220;We literally have an impact on the administration&#8217;s mandate right now, which is around efficiency.&#8221;
SpaceX did not immediately respond to&nbsp;<a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga</a>'s request for comment.

Why It Matters: The agency has already canceled over 680 leases, listed 32 properties worth $185 million, and cut contracts valued at $50 billion, according to internal presentations, cited by AP.
GSA employees reported concerns about the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/space/25/04/44784801/elon-musks-spacex-offers-researchers-up-to-100000-to-hack-into-starlink">unauthorized Starlink equipment</a> to superiors and the agency&#8217;s inspector general, fearing potential security violations. A GSA spokesman confirmed the transceivers&#8217; presence but insisted they weren&#8217;t connected to GSA&#8217;s network.
Critics, including GWU law professor Steven Schooner, note GSA&#8217;s critical position as &#8220;a choke point for all agencies&#8221; that can &#8220;stop all civilian agencies from purchasing, period.&#8221;
The agency has already dismantled its internal consulting team that had been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/department-of-government-efficiency">working to improve government services</a>, including online tax filing and passport renewal systems.

Elon Musk's Team Installs Starlink Satellite Equipment At Key Federal Agency: Report

Google, a part of&nbsp;Alphabet Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>), is confronted with a £5 billion ($6.6 billion) class action lawsuit in the U.K. The company is accused of exploiting&nbsp;its dominant market position in&nbsp;the online search industry.
What Happened: The lawsuit was lodged at the Competition Appeal Tribunal earlier this week. The claimants contend that Google&#8217;s practices allowed it to inflate the prices for advertisements displayed in search inquiries, beyond what a competitive market would allow, Reuters reported.
The lawsuit states that Google entered into agreements with phone manufacturers to have Google Search and the Chrome browser pre-installed on Android devices. It also states that Google paid&nbsp;Apple Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) to make Google&nbsp;the default search engine on&nbsp;iPhones, in a bid to suppress competition.
The claim, submitted by competition law expert Or Brook on behalf of thousands of businesses, asserts that Google gave its own advertising services an unfair advantage by equipping its search engine with superior functionality and additional features compared to those of its competitors.
Google has dismissed the lawsuit as &#8220;yet another speculative and opportunistic case,&#8221; pledging to &#8220;argue against it vigorously.&#8221; Brook, however, insists that businesses had little option but to use Google ads, labeling Google as a monopoly and emphasizing that securing a spot on Google&#8217;s top pages is crucial for visibility.
SEE ALSO:&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44830819/big-short-fame-steve-eisman-says-nvidias-best-days-are-not-behind-it-but-trump-is-the-wild-card-" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&#8216;Big Short&#8217; Fame Steve Eisman Says Nvidia&#8217;s &#8216;Best Days Are Not Behind It&#8217; But Trump Is The Wild Card In Current Market</a>
Why It Matters: In 2020, a market study conducted by the U.K.'s competition regulator revealed that Google earned 90% of the total revenue in the search advertising market.
This lawsuit follows a&nbsp;report from January 2025, which revealed that Google was under <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42983711/google-faces-uk-investigation-over-search-dominance">investigation </a>by UK officials over its search dominance. The Competition and Markets Authority expressed concerns about how Google&#8217;s dominant position in search could impact competition in the UK. 
Notably, the Sundar Pichai-led company is still appealing an antitrust penalty of €4.3 billion ($4.9 billion) fine imposed by the European Union for exploiting the dominance of its Android mobile operating system by requiring smartphone manufacturers to pre-install Chrome and Search alongside its Play app store.
The current lawsuit seems to be a continuation of these concerns, with businesses now taking legal action against the tech giant&#8217;s alleged anti-competitive practices.
Google&#8217;s lawsuit comes at a time when another tech giant, Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), is facing a landmark trial in court by the Federal Trade Commission, which could eventually compel the social media giant to divest its Instagram and WhatsApp platforms.

Semiconductors were particularly hit hard following fresh export restrictions on Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) chips to China. The iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>) fell sharply on Wednesday, with Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) both down around 7%.
Travelers Companies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TRV#NYSE">TRV</a>) posted better-than-expected first-quarter results on Wednesday.

Most sectors on the S&amp;P 500 closed on a negative note, with consumer discretionary, information technology, and communication services stocks recording the biggest losses on Wednesday. However, energy stocks bucked the overall market trend, closing the session higher.
The Dow Jones closed lower by around 700 points to 39,669.39 on Wednesday. The S&amp;P 500 fell 2.24% to 5,275.70, while the Nasdaq Composite dipped 3.07% to 16,307.16 during Wednesday's session.

What is CNN Business Fear &amp; Greed Index?
At a current reading of 14.4, the index remained in the &#8220;Extreme Fear&#8221; zone on Wednesday, versus a prior reading of 18.2.
The Fear &amp; Greed Index is a measure of the current market sentiment. It is based&nbsp;on the premise that higher fear exerts pressure on stock prices, while higher greed has the opposite effect. The index is calculated based on seven equal-weighted indicators. The index ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 represents maximum fear and 100 signals maximum greediness.

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) CEO Tim Cook has steered the tech company through a period of significant growth since taking the reins in 2011 after the death of company co-founder Steve Jobs.&nbsp;
Known for his operational expertise and calm demeanor, Cook, 64, has expanded Apple's product line and diversified its revenue stream. He also <a href="https://technologymagazine.com/ai-and-machine-learning/tim-cook-ceo-of-apple-innovation-and-upholding-legacy">emphasizes social responsibility</a>, leading Apple to commit to carbon neutrality across the company by 2030 and acting as an advocate for user privacy and human rights.
Cook left Compaq to join Apple in 1998 as senior vice president of operations, and later chief operating officer, to help Jobs pull the company out of financial difficulties. He improved the tech giant's supply chain and manufacturing process while reducing costs.

<li>The average American couple has saved this much money for retirement — <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/money/smartasset">How do you compare</a>?</li>
</ul>
Under Cook's leadership, Apple's core products like the iPhone, iPad and Mac have continued to succeed while he oversees the development and launch of new product categories such as the Apple Watch and AirPods.
An Alabama native, Cook has maintained Apple's position as a global technology leader through pandemic-induced supply chain disruptions and evolving consumer preferences.
Time magazine ranked Cook as one of the world's most influential people in 2021, alongside people like former NFL star Tom Brady and Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What is Tim Cook's Net Worth in April 2025? </h2>
Cook's financial success is closely tied to Apple's performance.&nbsp;
His net worth is $2.4 billion, landing him at No. 1,534 on <a href="https://www.forbes.com/real-time-billionaires/#13ddceeb3d78">Forbes' list of the world's wealthiest people</a>. 
A significant portion of his wealth comes from Apple stock awards, which he earns based on the company's performance. Although his base salary is modest compared to his overall compensation, the stock awards significantly increase his earnings.
Although Apple has been wildly successful, few of its employees have become billionaires. When Jobs died in 2011, he was worth about $10.2 billion, but most of his wealth was in Disney stock.&nbsp;
At the time of this death, he owned about 0.24% of Apple, or 38.5 million shares. His widow, Laurene Powell Jobs, owns the stock now and is worth about $14 billion, according to Forbes.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How Much Apple Stock Does Tim Cook Own?</h2>
While the exact number of Cook's Apple shares fluctuates with stock grants and sales, his stock holdings in the company are substantial, reflecting his investment in the company's future.&nbsp;
Cook owns more than 3 million shares of Apple —&nbsp;less than a 1% stake — valued at $607.6 million based on the April 14 close of $202.52.&nbsp;
He received $58.1 million in stock awards as part of his 2024 compensation package.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How Much Does Tim Cook Make as Apple's CEO?</h2>
Cook's total compensation package was $74.6 million in 2024, up about 18% from the previous year, according to The Wall Street Journal.&nbsp;
Cook's $3 million base salary has been the same for the past three years. He received $58.1 million in stock awards, $12 million in non-equity incentive plan compensation and $1.5 million in other compensation in 2024.
Apple raised Cook's equity award target to $50 million, up from $40 million, to align his compensation with peer CEO benchmarks.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How Does Tim Cook's Net Worth Compare to Other Tech CEOs?</h2>
While his net worth is substantial, Cook is in a different category than the founders of other major tech companies like Jeff Bezos of Amazon.com Inc., whose net worth is $202 billion, and Elon Musk of Tesla Inc. and SpaceX, whose net worth is $398.7 billion.
Cook's net worth is higher than the $1.1 billion accumulated by Google parent company Alphabet Inc. CEO Sundar Pichai, who succeeded Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin in 2019.
It's also higher than the $1.4 billion net worth of Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, who succeeded Steve Balmer as CEO the company's CEO in 2014.&nbsp;
Cook's wealth primarily comes from his stock compensation as Apple's CEO, while Bezos and Musk accumulated their fortunes through founding and owning significant portions of their companies.&nbsp;
But compared to other tech CEOs who were brought in to run established companies, as opposed to founding them, Cook's net worth is generally higher. Apple's $3 trillion market capitalization and the consistent growth it's experienced under Cook's leadership have led to considerable stock awards for the CEO.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How Does Tim Cook Spend His Money, and Does He Donate to Charity? </h2>
Cook's real estate portfolio includes a 2,400-square-foot condo in Palo Alto, California, and a 10,000-square foot mansion at The Madison Club in La Quinta, California, a gated community favored by celebrities. He<a href="https://therealdeal.com/la/2021/09/27/buyer-confirmed-finally-tim-cook-paid-10m-for-la-quinta-mansion/"> reportedly paid</a> $10.1 million for the five-bedroom mansion about six years ago.

Beyond his property holdings, Cook is a philanthropist. He donated $5 million and $2 million to two undisclosed organizations during the COVID-19 pandemic and contributes to a range of nonprofits, including the American Cancer Society, Doctors Without Borders, PETA and the Humane Society.&nbsp;&nbsp;
According to Fortune, Cook intends to set aside some money to pay for his nephew's college education and <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSKBN0MM2YM/">donate most of his wealth to charity when he dies</a>.

Tim Cook Net Worth: How Much is Apple's CEO Worth in April 2025?

Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) has indicated that it may hike vehicle prices amid uncertainty about the Donald Trump administration's tariffs on the auto industry.
What Happened: In a memo sent to dealers across the country on Wednesday, the Michigan-based auto giant said it may raise prices of its vehicles should auto tariffs continue to be in place, according to a Reuters report.
While there could be a potential price hike in Ford products, the customers won't see its reflection in the dealerships until July, according to the report.&nbsp;
"Customers will have a lot of choices, and we have plenty of inventory to choose from through June 2. The tariff situation is dynamic, and we continue to evaluate the potential impact of tariff actions," a Ford spokesperson cited in the report said.
Why It Matters: The company had recently launched its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44641009/ford-launches-from-america-for-america-discount-program-as-tariffs-threaten-vehicle-price-surge">‘From America, For America'</a> discount program, which will run through June 2. 
The program extends discounts on Ford and Lincoln vehicles — usually reserved for company employees — to all U.S.-based consumers. It's worth noting that the program does not include the company's Raptor models, 2025 Expedition and Navigator SUVs, and Super Duty trucks.
Michigan-based auto companies have been bearing the brunt of Trump's auto tariffs, with a recent report suggesting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44806252/trump-tariffs-could-put-ford-gm-at-high-risk-of-negative-ratings-report">Ford is at a high risk</a> of a negative rating by ratings agency S&amp;P.
However, in what could be some much-needed relief for auto companies, Donald Trump announced he was willing to explore ways to provide some <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44798727/auto-stocks-rise-on-trumps-comments-about-supporting-us-car-companies-whats-going-on">U.S. manufacturers with exemptions</a> to the auto tariffs.
Price Action: Ford is currently trading for $9.41 on the NYSE, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

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

Bill Gates says artificial intelligence will soon wipe out chronic shortages of skilled workers like doctors and teachers, eventually forcing societies to rethink the value of time and the concept of &#8216;work hours&#8217;.
What Happened: Speaking on Indian entrepreneur Nikhil Kamath's "People by WTF" podcast, the Microsoft co‑founder predicted that "AI will have changed things enough that just this pure capitalistic framework probably won't explain much" within two decades. 
Robots with dexterous "hands" and large‑language models with "free intelligence," he argued, will make it routine to staff hospitals, classrooms, and factory floors.
"We've always had a shortage — doctors, teachers, people to work in factories… those shortages won't exist," Gates said. "AI will come in and provide medical IQ, and there won't be a shortage."

His forecast stretches well beyond the office cubicle. Advances in vision, robotics, and language processing, he said, will let machines swing hammers on construction sites, scrub hotel rooms, and diagnose illnesses in rural clinics that struggle to attract physicians. With production constraints lifted, Gates expects shorter workweeks and earlier retirements to become feasible, adding, "It's going to require almost a philosophical rethink about, ‘OK, how should time be spent?'" 
Gates acknowledged that a world of abundance is hard to picture for anyone who has "spent almost 70 years in a world of shortage," but he urged economists to start mapping policies for an era when markets no longer ration scarce human labor. "My kids — and certainly my grandkids — a lot of their lives will be in that very changed world," he said.
Why It Matters: Gates' blueprint for doctor‑ and teacher‑level AI is hardly new. Back on The Today Show, he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/12/42438799/bill-gates-predicts-ai-in-the-workforce-will-lead-to-so-much-leisure-time-but-itll-create-a-what-do-we-do-with-all-that-time-problem">warned</a> that mass automation could hand humanity so much "leisure time" that society will face a "‘Wow, what do we do with all that time?' problem," even as he celebrated pilot projects that already "enhance education" and streamline MRIs. In an older interview, Gates noted that the real <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41056506/bill-gates-says-ai-positives-outweigh-concerns-well-be-experiencing-increased-productivity-in-a-lot">near‑term upside</a> of AI is "using it in a positive way, in areas like health and education … we'll be experiencing increased productivity in a lot of areas," repeating the very shortage‑busting logic he later shared with Kamath.
The Microsoft co‑founder <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44481583/bill-gates-thinks-you-might-only-work-2-3-days-a-week-thanks-to-ai-but-also-says-legitimately-people-are-like-wow-this-is-a-bit-scary">drove the point home</a> on The Tonight Show in March 2025, asking Jimmy Fallon, "Should we … just work like 2 or 3 days a week?" because AI will render once‑rare skills "commonplace" and, by extension, slash the traditional five‑day grind — a prospect he called "kind of profound" and "a bit scary."

Bill Gates Says His Kids And Grandkids Will Live In A 'Very Changed World' As AI Puts An End To Shortage Of Teachers And Doctors

On Wednesday, Roger Dassen, CFO of ASML Holdings NV (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>), a lithography equipment supplier to Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), acknowledged the contradiction between the U.S. government encouraging domestic chip manufacturing and imposing tariffs on crucial manufacturing tools.
What Happened: During the <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/04/44832382/nvidia-supplier-asml-beats-revenue-and-eps-estimates-euv-product-mix-performance-milestones-drive-q1-says-ceo">company's first-quarter earnings</a> call, analyst Andrew Gardiner from Citi pointed out the inconsistency in the U.S. strategy.
Gardiner highlighted the irony that, while the government is encouraging companies like Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) to set up semiconductor manufacturing facilities in the U.S., it is simultaneously imposing tariffs on essential tools required for this process.
He noted that this policy creates a roadblock for companies like ASML, which supplies critical semiconductor manufacturing equipment such as lithography machines.
In response, Dassen said that this contradiction has not gone unnoticed by the industry, customers, and the Donald Trump administration. &#8220;I think it is this complexity that is being recognized.&#8221;

&#8220;U.S. administration has also said, we&#8217;re reviewing the entire ecosystem to figure out how to deal with this,&#8221; he stated, adding, &#8220;I think it is this complexity that is being recognized. And that&#8217;s why I think they&#8217;ve said they need a bit more time to understand how to do this and how they can achieve the objective with more onshoring of chip manufacturing in the United States.&#8221;
 &#8220;I think that&#8217;s the background of the of the delay that we now see and of the anticipated and announced review of this ecosystem.&#8221;
Why It's Important: During the earnings call, analyst Timm Schulze-Melander asked ASML about the pricing structure of its order backlog, specifically how much is set up as "ex works" (where customers handle shipping and customs) versus how much ASML is responsible for, including duties and delivery.
&#8220;In general, we are the importers into the country. But of course, that is actually a bit irrelevant because, at the end of the day, it depends on the contractual agreements that we have with the customers — how you pass on tariff increases there.&#8221;
He went on to add that the company believes these costs should be fairly shared across the supply chain, not borne by ASML alone.
Earlier, while speaking with reporters, Dassen also said that ASML has no intention of shifting more of its production to the U.S. to reduce tariff risks, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-16/asml-orders-miss-estimates-as-uncertainty-over-us-tariffs-loom">reported</a> Bloomberg.&nbsp;
"Most of the final assembly of what we do happens here in the Netherlands," he noted.
Dassen also stated that ASML plans to pass a substantial portion of any tariffs onto its customers, arguing that the financial impact should be distributed fairly, especially to those importing the machines into the U.S., who he believes should carry the bulk of the cost.
ASML, the Dutch tech firm whose major clients include TSMC and Intel Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>), posted first-quarter revenue of €7.742 billion ($8.764 billion), surpassing analyst expectations of €7.760 billion by 12.94%, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ASML/earnings">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Price Action: ASML shares declined by 7.06% on Wednesday and have fallen more than 30% over the past year.
Based on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Benzinga's Edge Stock Rankings</a>, ASML scores a solid 67.07% in growth, though it lags in momentum and value metrics.

Trump Administration Sees The Conflict Between US Chip Goals And Tariffs, Says Nvidia-Supplier ASML's CFO

Kosmos Energy Marks Milestone With First LNG Cargo Shipment At Greater Tortue Ahmeyim Project In Mauritania And Senega

Outlook
On 3 April 2025, the US government announced changes to US import tariffs, followed by a suspension of these tariffs for most countries for 90 days, announced on 9 April 2025. As global markets continue to adjust to the recent tariff changes, we are actively assessing the potential impact on our operations, supply chain, and pricing strategies. Engagements with the relevant stakeholders are ongoing and we remain focused on ensuring continuity, mitigating potential disruptions and identifying any upside opportunities for&nbsp;Sasol. We continue to maintain strong liquidity and strict cost management, which supports our ability to navigate external uncertainties.
Our ongoing hedging programme aims to ensure downside protection of the balance sheet. To date, the FY25 hedging programme is now complete, while the FY26 programme is nearing completion, with only Q4 FY26 oil hedges still open. The average Brent crude oil floor price for Q4 FY25 is ~US$64/bbl, with FY26 hedge floors averaging ~US$60/bbl. Please refer to the hedging update on the last page.
Market guidance for Gas, Oryx, SO and Natref remains intact. Aligned with the management decision taken to reduce own production of poor quality coal and replace it with higher quality external purchases, Mining's production outlook has been revised downward to 28 - 30 mt. The associated mining cost per ton is now expected to range between R650 - R670 per ton. Fuels sales volumes are expected to decrease to 1 - 3% lower than FY24 largely due to the supply disruptions. Chemicals Africa sales volumes are also projected to be 2 - 4% lower than FY24, driven by lower SO production and the uncertainty surrounding ongoing global tariff disputes.
International Chemicals sales volumes are expected to be at the lower end of our previous guidance, which indicated a 4 - 8% decrease compared to FY24. This is primarily due to the unplanned Louisiana Integrated Polyethylene LLC (LIP) JV cracker outage in the US and the uncertainty surrounding ongoing global tariff disputes.
Financial metrics for FY25 remain broadly in line with guidance. Cash fixed cost increase is expected to remain below inflation and capital expenditure to be at the lower end of our guided range of R28 - R30 billion.

Netflix, UnitedHealth Group And 3 Stocks To Watch Heading Into Thursday

California has launched a lawsuit against President Donald Trump, seeking to put an end to his extensive tariff regime, which the state feels is being illegally implemented.
What Happened:&nbsp;On Wednesday, California became the first state to legally challenge the Trump administration&#8217;s extensive tariff plans. These plans have caused significant market instability and strained the United States&#8217;&nbsp;relationships with its trading partners and allies,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/16/trump-tariff-lawsuit-california.html">CNBC</a>&nbsp;reported.
&#8220;Donald Trump does not have&nbsp;the authority to unilaterally impose&nbsp;the largest tax hike of&nbsp;our lifetime with his destructive&nbsp;tariffs,&#8221; stated California Gov. Gavin Newsom. The lawsuit argues that Trump&#8217;s invocation of the&nbsp;International Economic Emergency Powers Act&nbsp;to implement his reciprocal tariff plan is both &#8220;unlawful and unprecedented.&#8221;
The lawsuit, lodged in the&nbsp;U.S. District Court in northern&nbsp;California,&nbsp;seeks to have Trump&#8217;s tariffs&nbsp;&#8220;declared null and void,&#8221; indicating that the situation is causing &#8220;immediate and irreparable harm&#8221; to California—the nation&#8217;s largest state in terms of economy, manufacturing, and agriculture.
The White House has criticized Newsom over the lawsuit, with spokesman Kush Desai telling POLITICO that the Governor should instead focus on &#8220;California's rampant crime, homelessness, and unaffordability.&#8221;
Notably, California has already filed 15 lawsuits against Trump since January. &#8220;That&#8217;s our state of mind,&#8221; said Governor Newsom. &#8220;That&#8217;s why we&#8217;re asserting ourselves on behalf of 40 million Americans.&#8221;
Why It Matters: This lawsuit comes on the heels of a similar <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44802211/5-small-businesses-hit-trump-with-lawsuit-over-tariffs-trade-deficits-are-not-an-emergency">legal action</a> initiated by five American small businesses. These businesses accused Trump of abusing his powers to impose trade taxes under the guise of a national emergency, despite no such emergency existing.
The companies submitted the complaint to the U.S. Court of International Trade, arguing that Trump unlawfully invoked the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to justify global tariffs on imports without Congressional approval or clear economic justification. 
California&#8217;s lawsuit is significant as the state is not only home to large tech companies but also premium agricultural produce such as almonds, figs, olives, walnuts, raisins and artichokes. "As the fifth largest economy in the world, California understands global trade policy is not just a game," said California Attorney General Rob Bonta.
