Fines Not Enough: Donald Trump is doing exactly what he&#8217;s been permitted to do, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49UExU5bKcg">said</a> Mary Trump in an interview with MSNBC. 
&#8220;Nothing stops him because nobody is stopping him,&#8221; she said.
Mary Trump also took a shot at the prosecution. 
&#8220;It seems absolutely absurd to me that the prosecution is going out of its way to argue there shouldn&#8217;t be any incarceratory penalty at this point. Because what is that financial fine going to do? Nothing,&#8221; she said.
The former president can pay the penalty &#8220;all day long,&#8221; as the judge can&#8217;t fine him more than $1000 per offense, his niece said. 
&#8220;So, the offenses will keep piling up, unless and until something serious is done,&#8221; she said. 
The psychologist, podcaster, and author remarked that the prosecution&#8217;s argument about Donald Trump seeking jail time is on shaky ground. 
&#8220;You don&#8217;t punish somebody based on what they want. You punish them based on the offenses in front of you,&#8221; she said.
&#8220;It isn&#8217;t enough,&#8221; Mary Trump said, referring to the fines. &#8220;He gets the money from somewhere else, to cover the fraud trial in the New York City or his payments to E. Jean Carroll.&#8221;

Standing Up To Trump: Mary Trump expressed doubts about the court system standing up to Donald Trump, especially considering that Congressional Republicans have unanimously supported him. She mentioned that hope is dwindling, particularly because the New York fraud trial may be the only one that will start and possibly end before the election.
She also expressed wishful thinking that her uncle will be punished for his offenses. 
&#8220;I hope that the jurors will weigh the evidence appropriately and punish Donald appropriately,&#8221; she said.
Mary Trump also said that the Supreme Court is &#8220;going out of its way&#8221; to ensure that Donald Trump is allowed to run for presidency, &#8220;completely unburdened by the crimes he allegedly committed against the Unites States of America.&#8221;
She additionally noted that her uncle &#8220;is covered in a split screen.&#8221; 
&#8220;On the one hand, he&#8217;s a criminal defendant who has allegedly committed all sorts of crimes against this country, and, on the other hand, he is a candidate for the presidency, as if the former doesn&#8217;t impinge at all on the latter,&#8221; she said, adding that &#8220;it&#8217;s quite stunning to see that his candidacy, in some respects, remains completely unscathed.&#8221;
Mary Trump also weighed in on the way forward in the run up to the November election. 
&#8220;Right now, the only thing we can really do that can have a big impact on voters, leading up to November, is making a very clear case, not just what has he done, but what is he telling us explicitly he&#8217;s going to do on the one hand and, on the other hand, what has the Biden administration been able to accomplish in three years in many cases with both hands tied behind its back,&#8221; she said.
Family&#8217;s Support: On why Eric Trump showed up in the courtroom during his father&#8217;s trial, the lone family member to do so, Mary Trump said her cousin was in attendance probably because the defense lawyers told Donald Trump it looked &#8220;really bad that he doesn&#8217;t have any family members.&#8221;
&#8220;I don&#8217;t think Donald cares. I think all these relationships are transactional. I don&#8217;t think it matters to him. I don&#8217;t think his children or his wife think that it does them any good to show up,&#8221; she said.
The psychologist said the former president may be more concerned about the complete lack of supporters outside the courtroom. 
&#8220;I think that is a much bigger blow to him, both his ego and his narcissistic need for attention,&#8221; she added.

Trump's Niece Says This Could Be A Big Blow To Ex-President's 'Narcissistic Need For Attention': 'Right Now The Only Thing We Can Really Do...'

DEA Administrator <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/anne-milgram">Anne Milgram</a> told Congress this week that social media and other technology have made it easier than ever to buy illegal drugs. She compared these transactions to ordering food on Uber Eats.
&#8220;We say all the time that the most dangerous place in the world right now is our homes because everyone has a smartphone, and within two or three clicks on a smartphone, people are having pills delivered to their front doorstep like Uber Eats, like they get pizza delivered,&#8221; Milgram told a House Appropriations subcommittee.
"According to the CDC, in 2022, 107,941 Americans lost their lives. Forty-two percent of Americans in the United States now know someone who has died," Milgram <a href="https://www.dea.gov/documents/2024/2024-05/2024-05-07/administrator-anne-milgram-delivers-opening-statement-house">said</a> in her opening statement. &#8220;We&#8217;re losing 22 Americans, teenagers between the ages of 14 and 18, every single week right now&#8221; to illegal drug use. 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Waiting To Get Into Mexico</h2>
Milgram said the DEA has been waiting for nearly a year for one of its work visas to be approved by the Mexican government so it can send personnel into the country to investigate the drug cartels responsible for smuggling illicit drugs into the U.S.
&#8220;We&#8217;ve been waiting eight months for one visa, and we know the cost of, of what that means for us in terms of our ability to get worked done,&#8221; Milgram told the subcommittee, <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/illicit-pills-easy-ordering-food-delivery-app-dea/story?id=110038067">reported</a> ABC News. &#8220;Every year in the United States, we&#8217;re losing more than 100,000 Americans. So, time matters, and I couldn&#8217;t speak with enough urgency as to how important it is for us to get those 13 agents and intel analysts into the country.&#8221;
Despite intensified efforts, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/01/36707665/dea-seizes-largest-amount-of-fentanyl-in-its-history-386m-lethal-doses-enough-to-kill-every-amer">DEA has acknowledged</a> the challenge of keeping pace with the influx of fentanyl at the southern border, primarily produced and smuggled into the U.S. from Mexico by the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/23/01/30298349/el-chapos-son-capo-of-mexicos-biggest-drug-cartel-captured-revenge-and-violence-spreading-in-sin" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sinaloa and Jalisco cartels</a> with precursor chemicals from China. The cartels purchase chemicals from companies in China, mass produce the fentanyl in Mexico and then smuggle and distribute the finished fentanyl throughout the U.S.
&#8220;The men and women of DEA are working nonstop to defeat those cartels,&#8221; she said. &#8220;And we shouldn&#8217;t ask them to work under difficult circumstances, but they do and they&#8217;re incredibly effective.&#8221;
Today, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), fentanyl is the leading cause of death among Americans between the ages of 18 and 45.

DEA Chief Warns Congress: Illicit Drugs Are As Easy To Get As Pizza Delivery From Uber Eats

In an interview with Yahoo Finance on Friday, Robinhood Markets, Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>) CEO Vlad Tenev spilled the beans on its retirement offerings, which target users of every age, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/gen-z" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">including the ever-elusive Gen Z.</a>
The CEO underscored how Robinhood&#8217;s offerings are a magnet for novice investors, with Tenev shining a spotlight on a groundbreaking survey revealing Gen Z&#8217;s astonishing foresight as Gen Zers begin pondering retirement as early as 19 years old, Tenev <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-JdHG02xOA" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">told </a>Yahoo Finance&#8217;s Market Domination. 
Tenev also emphasized Robinhood&#8217;s retirement profile for individuals within five years of retirement age, stating that &#8220;the economics of the offer are irresistible to pass up.&#8221;

&#8220;A lot of them don&#8217;t have 401(k)s through employers.

Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev Dishes On Hot Retirement Offerings: 'Economics Of The Offer Are Irresistible To Pass Up'

In a week full of international cannabis policy updates, Thailand, Morocco and Pakistan have made strides, each presenting divergent paths when it comes to regulating the plant.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Thailand&#8217;s Prohibition Stance </h3>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/thailand-cannabis">Thailand</a>, known for its progressive stance on cannabis in recent years, has taken a surprising turn by moving towards tightening regulations. The Kingdom, once celebrated for its progressive steps towards cannabis decriminalization and medicinal legalization, is now tightening its grip on cannabis-related activities. Conservative Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin said on Wednesday that cannabis would be re-listed as a Category 5 narcotic, subject to strict controls akin to heroin or cocaine. This move marks a significant departure from its previous trajectory since Thailand was the first Asian country to legalize adult-use cannabis in 2020. Resistance in building among locally affected shareholders who are setting in place protests and class-action lawsuits to stop the measure.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Morocco&#8217;s Push for Recreational Legalization Gains Momentum</h3>
In North Africa, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/morocco-cannabis">Morocco </a>is witnessing a growth in <a href="https://www.newarab.com/news/morocco-cannabis-farmers-push-recreational-legalisation">support </a>for the legalization of recreational cannabis. Despite its long-standing reputation as a major cannabis producer, Morocco has historically maintained a strict anti-cannabis policy. This means that the country has turned its back on nearly half a million farmers growing cannabis in the Rif region, one of the largest cannabis-producing areas on the planet.
Despite partial legalization in 2021, most farmers from the Rif are still working to provide the international black market. However, legalization efforts have emboldened stakeholders to advocate for broader legalization aiming to get all farmers to produce under the legalized framework. For advocates, this implies legalizing the production to meet international demand. Shakib Al Khayari, the coordinator of the Moroccan Coalition for Medical and Industrial Use of Cannabis, <a href="https://www.newarab.com/news/morocco-cannabis-farmers-push-recreational-legalisation">said</a>: &#8220;In Morocco, it will be necessary to open a discussion because regulation for medical and industrial purposes will not eliminate the existing black market.&#8221;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Pakistan&#8217;s Economic Imperatives Drive Medicinal Cannabis Legalization</h3>
In South Asia, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/04/38243593/pakistan-launches-regulatory-body-for-cannabis-trade-to-fuel-economic-growth">Pakistan </a>emerges as a new player in the global cannabis market, driven by economic imperatives. The establishment of the Cannabis Control and Regulatory Authority (CCRA) signals Pakistan&#8217;s intent to legalize cannabis derivatives for medicinal and industrial purposes. The regulatory framework, crafted to adhere to UN mandates of February this year, specifies the maximum level of THC to be 0.3 percent.
"Technically, now the cultivation is legal since the ordinance has been passed, but we are still in [the] process of developing rules and procedures and awaiting registration of the authority," Syed Hussain Abidi <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/5/8/pakistan-bets-on-a-cannabis-high-as-its-economy-struggles">told </a>Al Jazeera.
This will put Pakistan on the list of possible hemp based products and dried flower international providers. The Asian country&#8217;s advantage, similar to that of Morroco, is that hemp production is traditional and they grow approximately 70,000 acres of cannabis each year. The bulk of this production goes to the black market.

Contradictory Moves In Global Cannabis Legalization: Thailand, Morocco And Pakistan Take Different Paths

U.S. President <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Joe Biden</a> jokingly remarked on Friday that he wished former President<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> </a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Donald Trump</a> had administered a bit of bleach to himself, reviving one of Trump&#8217;s more perplexing moments from the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/05/38724294/biden-says-hes-already-turned-economy-around-blames-corporate-greed-for-persistently-high-inflation" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> early stages of the coronavirus pandemic.</a>
Biden, speaking at a fundraising event near San Francisco for his re-election bid, described his Republican opponent&#8217;s presidency as tumultuous, urging voters to remember this as they approach the November election, Reuters reported.
&#8220;Remember him saying the best thing to do is just inject a little bleach in your arm? That&#8217;s what he said. And he meant it. I wish he had done a little bit himself,&#8221; Biden said, Reuters added.
In the initial stages of the 2020 pandemic, Trump suggested injecting disinfectants like bleach or isopropyl alcohol into the body. Biden also joked about Trump&#8217;s &#8220;love letters&#8221;&nbsp;from<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/kim-jong-un" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;Kim Jong Un</a>, mistakenly referring to Kim as South Korea&#8217;s president.
Trump had numerous meetings with Kim and maintained correspondence, storing copies of their letters in an Oval Office binder. A Trump campaign spokesperson didn&#8217;t immediately respond to Biden&#8217;s comments. Biden previously joked about Trump&#8217;s bleach remark, quipping in April that Trump had injected himself and that &#8220;it all went to his hair.&#8221;

Joe Biden Mocks Donald Trump's Advice To Inject Bleach: 'I Wish He Had Done A Little Bit Himself'

Many women&nbsp;who breastfeed choose&nbsp;cannabis over other medications to manage conditions like anxiety and chronic pain. A recent study conducted by Washington State University&nbsp;uncovered that THC, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/04/38528176/thc-beverage-sector-is-probably-bigger-than-we-realize-say-industry-experts-and-its-not-too-late">psychoactive component </a>of cannabis, persists in breast milk without a predictable peak concentration time.
The study revealed&nbsp;that THC levels in breast milk do not follow a clear pattern like alcohol, which typically peaks and then diminishes.
<h3>Study Methodology And Findings</h3>
The research, led by Prof. Courtney Meehan, a biological anthropologist at WSU,<a href="https://news.wsu.edu/press-release/2024/05/08/thc-lingers-in-breastmilk-with-no-clear-peak-point/"> analyzed</a> milk samples from 20 breastfeeding mothers who regularly used cannabis.
Participants provided samples in their homes after 12 hours of abstaining from cannabis and at various intervals post-consumption.
The study discovered that THC was always detectable in the milk samples, even after the abstention period.
<h3>Low THC Concentrations: Implications Unknown</h3>
The amounts of THC found were relatively low, with infants estimated to receive about 0.07 mg per day&mdash;a stark contrast to the 2 mg found in common low-dose edibles.
However, the impact of this <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/thc">THC</a> exposure on infants remains unknown.
Meehan <a href="http://www.healthday.com/health-news/pregnancy/how-long-does-marijuana-thc-linger-in-breast-milk">stressed the importance</a> of this knowledge gap.&nbsp;&quot;Breastfeeding parents need to be aware that if they use cannabis, their infants are likely consuming cannabinoids via the milk they produce, and we do not know whether this has any effect on the developing infant.&quot;
<h3>Variable THC Concentrations In Breast Milk</h3>
The concentration of THC in milk was found to be greater for participants who used <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/19/09/14423264/why-thcv-one-of-the-many-compounds-in-cannabis-might-be-the-next-big-thing-in-weed">cannabis</a> more frequently during the 8-to-12 hour study period.
Those who used cannabis only once during the study period experienced&nbsp;THC concentrations peaking at variable times, typically around 2 hours after use, though it could be as soon as 30 minutes.
More frequent usage was associated with higher THC levels even after a 12-hour abstention. These findings confirm that infants are exposed to measurable amounts of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/23/10/35274357/thc-obsession-what-really-matters-when-choosing-cannabis-cultivars">THC</a> through breast milk.
<h3>Research Needs And Support</h3>
The findings underscore the need for more rigorous research to establish guidelines similar to those for<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/05/38566712/are-hemp-thc-beverages-competing-with-alcohol-experts-discuss-new-alternatives-for-adult-beverag"> alcohol consumption</a> in breastfeeding mothers. This research was published in the journal <a href="https://www.liebertpub.com/doi/10.1089/bfm.2024.0021">Breastfeeding Medicine</a> and was supported by State of Washington Initiative Measures 171 and 502&nbsp;and the WSU Health Equity Research Center.

Is It Safe To Breastfeed After Consuming Marijuana? New Research Explores THC Levels In Infants

Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk on Friday drew a parallel between video streaming platform Netflix doubling down on streaming over DVD renting in 2011 to the EV maker doubling efforts <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38286437/tesla-ceo-elon-musk-says-going-balls-to-the-wall-for-autonomous-driving-is-blindingly-obvious-as-eve">on vehicle autonomy.</a>
What Happened: In 2011, Netflix attempted to split its DVD rental business from its online streaming into a separate website called Qwikster. The plan, however, was eventually scrapped owing to consumer and shareholder protests.
However, streaming has now indeed taken over DVDs, an X user noted in a post on Friday. &#8220;Now, apply this logic to Tesla,&#8221; Musk wrote to the user, drawing a parallel between Netflix&#8217;s 13-year-old decision to focus on streaming and Tesla&#8217;s own decision to focus all efforts on vehicle autonomy and hinting that autonomous vehicles will trump human-driven ones in the future.

</figure>
Why It Matters: Tesla is currently faced with dropping share value after it decided to focus all its efforts and resources on vehicle autonomy. However, the CEO said last month that doubling down on autonomy is a &#8220;blindingly obvious move&#8221; for the company with everything else like &#8220;variations on a horse carriage.&#8221; The company intends to unveil its robotaxi product on Aug. 8, and Musk is optimistic that autonomous vehicles will be the future for the automotive industry.
"Even if I got kidnapped by aliens tomorrow, Tesla&nbsp;will&nbsp;solve autonomy, maybe a little slower, but it would solve autonomy for vehicles at least," <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38397845/tesla-will-solve-autonomy-even-if-i-got-kidnapped-by-aliens-tomorrow-says-elon-musk-as-he-reveals-ta">Musk said </a>during the company&#8217;s first-quarter earnings call last month. "If somebody doesn't believe Tesla is going to solve autonomy, I think they should not be an investor in the company."

The acquisition received approval from the Florida Office of Medical Marijuana Use in April. This represents a significant expansion as recreational cannabis legalization in Florida will be <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/04/38034138/florida-supreme-court-approves-cannabis-legalization-proposal-for-november-election-in-blow-to-d">decided </a>in the November 2024 ballot.

Based on the closing price of Planet 13&#8217;s common stock as of May 9, 2024, the total deal, previously <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/23/08/34073292/trulieve-faces-serious-competition-as-planet-13-enters-florida-market-via-48m-deal">estimated </a>at $48.9 million was finally valued at approximately $63.4 million.

Planet 13 Wraps Up VidaCann Acquisition To Enter Florida Market With $63.4M Deal And 26 Cannabis Dispensaries

The largest bank in the United States, JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), has disclosed a significant investment in Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) exchange-traded funds (ETFs) despite its CEO <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/01/36658859/jpmorgan-ceo-jamie-dimon-says-satashi-may-erase-bitcoin-supply-limit-backs-tokenizing-thin">Jamie Dimon's persistent criticism</a> of cryptocurrencies.
What Happened: JPMorgan has invested approximately $760,000 in spot Bitcoin ETFs on behalf of its clients, according to recent <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/19617/000001961724000369/xslForm13F_X02/Information_Table_03.31.2024.xml">filing</a> with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
The bank&#8217;s holdings are spread across several ETFs, including BlackRock&#8217;s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), the ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF (BITO), Fidelity&#8217;s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC), the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) and the Bitwise Bitcoin ETF.
In addition to this, JPMorgan purchased 25,021 shares of crypto ATM provider Bitcoin Depot Inc. worth $47,415 and 34,662 shares of Bit Digital Inc. worth $99,480.

This announcement follows a similar disclosure by rival bank Wells Fargo &amp; Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>), which revealed its holding of 2,245 GBTC shares worth $121,207.
Dimon previously referred to Bitcoin as a &#8220;pet rock&#8221; used by criminals and speculators.
Why It Matters: This move by JPMorgan, despite Dimon&#8217;s criticism, is indicative of the increasing acceptance of Bitcoin within traditional financial institutions.
In December, Dimon <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/23/12/36118823/jp-morgan-ceo-calls-for-a-shut-down-of-bitcoin-and-the-crypto-industry-heres-how-social-me">reiterated his long-standing opposition to Bitcoin</a> and other cryptocurrencies, suggesting that the government should shut down the industry.
In January, following the SEC&#8217;s approval of a Bitcoin ETF, Dimon&#8217;s stance appeared to soften. He said, "I defend your right to do Bitcoin," <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/01/36672240/edward-snowden-slams-jamie-dimon-over-bitcoin-remarks-following-secs-etf-approval-stole-hi">eliciting a strong reaction</a> from former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden.

JPMorgan Reports $760K Spot Bitcoin ETF Holdings Even As CEO Jamie Dimon Called For Shutting Down Crypto Industry

In an interview earlier this week, 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>) Sundar Pichai responded to Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) CEO Satya Nadella&#8216;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/23/06/32881859/microsoft-ceo-satya-nadella-wants-real-competition-with-google-as-companys-stock-reaches-all-time-">comments about making</a> Google &#8220;dance&#8221; after the introduction of new Bing.
What Happened: On Wednesday, in an interview <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-05-08/video-alphabet-ceo-sundar-pichai-lays-out-google-s-ai-roadmap">with</a> Bloomberg, Pichai dismissed Nadella&#8217;s remarks about the &#8220;new Bing&#8221; and the need for Google to &#8220;dance&#8221; to its tune. &#8220;One of the ways you can do the wrong thing is by listening to noise out there and playing to someone else&#8217;s dance music,&#8221; he said. 
Microsoft announced its &#8220;New Bing,&#8221; powered by OpenAI&#8217;s ChatGPT, in February 2023. That same month, Nadella said, &#8220;I want people to know that we made them dance.&#8221;

Nadella also stated that he had been waiting for&nbsp;20 years to compete with&nbsp;Google and that&nbsp;it &#8220;should have been the&nbsp;default winner&#8221; of the Big&nbsp;Tech AI race.
Despite Google&#8217;s early investment in&nbsp;AI and&nbsp;its resources and talent, Microsoft&nbsp;took the lead in&nbsp;the AI race when it <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/01/36561409/microsofts-13b-investment-in-openai-comes-under-scrutiny-of-european-competition-regulator">partnered with OpenAI</a> and launched&nbsp;the new Bing and 365&nbsp;Copilot, an AI-powered productivity tool&nbsp;for Microsoft apps.
Google was reportedly caught off guard. When ChatGPT was launched in 2022, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/12/30170477/chatgpt-popularity-reportedly-leads-to-google-declaring-code-red-as-sundar-pichai-increases-involvem-1">Google allegedly&nbsp;issued a &#8220;code red&#8221;</a> to employees about the potential threat&nbsp;to its search business. The&nbsp;company also refocused its AI&nbsp;strategy following the new competition.

However, Google is now catching up, leveraging&nbsp;its massive user base to&nbsp;promote its AI products. The company recently announced that it is developing its own AI chips and is intensifying&nbsp;its AI efforts with a&nbsp;series of cloud advancements, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38175771/googles-gemini-1-5-pro-ai-could-change-how-you-play-games-and-file-insurance-claims">general availability</a> of TPU v5p,&nbsp;the new release of Gemini&nbsp;1.5, and various AI additions&nbsp;to Google Workspace.
Why It Matters: Pichai&#8217;s response comes in the wake of a challenging period for Google. The company has been facing increased scrutiny over its ability to keep pace with competitors, with some analysts even calling for a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37440362/analysts-are-calling-for-google-ceo-sundar-pichai-to-step-down-despite-companys-massive-growth-under">leadership change at the tech giant</a>.
Earlier this year, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37579583/google-ceos-anxiety-exposed-leaked-email-reveals-how-sundar-pichai-was-spooked-about-losing-talent-e">Pichai&#8217;s anxiety about losing talent</a> to rivals, especially Apple Inc., was exposed in a leaked email. Amid an ongoing antitrust lawsuit brought by the U.S. Department of Justice, Pichai has reportedly kept a close watch on the loss of key talent to rivals, particularly Apple.
Following this, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38334324/sundar-pichai-announces-restructure-after-google-fires-protesting-employees-too-important-a-moment-a">Google announced a restructuring</a> after firing 28 employees for protesting against the company&#8217;s cloud deal with Israel. Pichai emphasized the need for focus, collaboration and respectful disagreements within the company, while announcing a restructuring of Google&#8217;s devices and mobile software divisions.

Sundar Pichai Finally Responds To Microsoft CEO's Comments About Making Google Dance: 'One Of The Ways You Can Do The Wrong Thing Is By ... Playing To Someone Else's Dance Music'

Electric vehicle stocks retreated in the week that ended on May 10 amid profit taking, with<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/05/38653616/lucid-q1-earnings-highlights-revenue-beat-eps-miss-production-update-and-more"> some earnings reports from the space</a> weighing down on several stocks.
Here are the key events that happened in the EV space during the week:
Another Key Tesla Executive Departs, China Sales Woe And More: The week did not bring respite to the ongoing right-sizing efforts at Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>). Rich Otto, who served as head of product at the company, announced this week that he was departing after a seven-year stint at the company. In a LinkedIn post that has since been deleted, Otto reportedly said, &#8220;The recent layoffs that are rocking the company and its morale have thrown this harmony out of balance and it&#8217;s hard to see the long-game.&#8221;
In another development, Tesla removed most job postings on its website, with the North American websites listing just three open manufacturing jobs. Gizmodo <a href="https://gizmodo.com/tesla-hiring-freeze-job-postings-elon-musk-layoffs-1851464758">reported,</a> citing an archived version of Tesla&#8217;s career page, that as of May 1, had listed 3,400 jobs openings in the U.S., Mexico and Canada.
Although Tesla nearly disbanded its Supercharger network team, it could expand the network, according to comments from CEO Elon Musk. 
&#8220;Just to reiterate: Tesla will spend well over $500M expanding our Supercharger network to create thousands of NEW chargers this year,&#8221; he said in a post on X.
&#8220;That's just on new sites and expansions, not counting operations costs, which are much higher,&#8221; he added.
Tesla&#8217;s troubles in China appear to continue. Data released by the China Passenger Car Association showed that the company shipped 62,617 made-in-China EVs in April, down 18% year-over-year, with 30,746 units of those meant to be exports, CnEVPost <a href="https://cnevpost.com/2024/05/10/tesla-apr-2024-sales-in-china/">reported.</a> Domestic sales totaled 31,421 units, marking a decrease of approximately 50% from the previous month and a decline of over 21% compared to the same period last year.
Reports suggested that Tesla sent former China head Tom Zhu back to the country as the company struggles with sagging sales amid competitive pressure. Zhu was promoted to Tesla&#8217;s top leadership team last year and was stationed in Austin.

Rivian Earnings, Apple Rumor: Startup Rivian Automotive, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIVN#NASDAQ">RIVN</a>) reported first-quarter revenue that exceeded estimates; however, loss per share widened compared to a year ago. On a positive note, the company maintained its 2024 production forecasts of 57,000 units. CFO Claire McDonough said on the earnings call that the 2024 capital expenditure guidance stands reduced by $550 million to $1.2 billion, attributing the cut to the savings stemming from a decision to move the first line of R2 production to the company&#8217;s Normal, Illinois plant.
The stock received a shot in the arm early this week after DigiTimes reported that Apple, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) is &#8220;assessing the possibility of teaming up with a certain U.S. EV startup, and Rivian is a very likely candidate.&#8221; Both companies, however, did not clarify on the rumor.
Fisker Files For Insolvency In Austria: Beleaguered EV maker Fisker, Inc.&#8217;s (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FSRN#OTC">FSRN</a>) Austrian unit Fisker GmbH voluntarily filed for bankruptcy protection on Tuesday. The subsidiary clarified that no other Fisker entities are included in the restructuring. The company faced more negative headlines this week, with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opening another investigation into potential issues with the Ocean electric SUV's automatic emergency braking.
Pushback For China EV Makers? The Biden administration is set to act to protect the domestic EV industry from Chinese competition. Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/economy/trade/biden-to-quadruple-tariffs-on-chinese-evs-203127bf">reported</a> that the White House will announce on Tuesday tariffs on Chinese imports in strategic sectors such as EVs.
The report said the U.S. would maintain existing tariffs on many Chinese goods set by former President Donald Trump, while adding new tariffs to semiconductors and solar equipment. The government is also reportedly planning to hike EV tariffs, which are likely to quadruple.
Ford Slows European EV Plans: Legacy automaker Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) has gone back on its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/21/02/19702111/ford-to-go-all-electric-in-europe-by-2030-cnbc">plan to fully transition to battery EVs in Europe by 2030.</a> Martin Sander, head of Ford&#8217;s passenger cars business in Europe, <a href="https://europe.autonews.com/automakers/ford-revises-plan-be-all-electric-europe">said</a> at the Financial Times Future of the Car Summit on Tuesday that demand for pureplay EVs has been softer than the company expected.
The company will continue to sell internal combustion engine cars beyond 2030 if customers demand them and will focus on selling plug-in hybrids, he said.
The KraneShares Electric Vehicles and Future Mobility&nbsp;Index ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KARS#NYSE">KARS</a>) ended Friday&#8217;s session down 1.87% at $22.14, according to <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/lxquj26b2sag">Benzinga Pro data.</a> For the week, the ETF fell 2.55%.

Benzinga Bulls And Bears: Nvidia, Starbucks, Palantir And Crypto Investor's Playbook For Making 'MemeMillions' From Shiba Inu, Dogecoin

In 2018, TikTok user&nbsp;Kayleigh Donahue packed her bags in Rhode Island and jetted off to Dublin, Ireland, for what she thought would be a year-long adventure. Fast forward, and that year stretched into four rich, eye-opening years. Though she&#8217;s now moved back to the US, she still misses many things about European life. 
Let&#8217;s dive into five areas where Donahue believes Europe outshines the U.S.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Traveling Is Easier and Cheaper</h3>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/10102458/europe-better-than-america-1-1024x576.jpeg" alt="Europeans' frequent country-hopping is enviable and, as discovered, highly affordable due to budget airlines. Image: Dall-E 3" class="wp-image-332698" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/10102458/europe-better-than-america-1-1024x576.jpeg 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/10102458/europe-better-than-america-1-300x169.jpeg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/10102458/europe-better-than-america-1-768x432.jpeg 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/10102458/europe-better-than-america-1.jpeg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Europeans&#8217; frequent country-hopping is enviable and, as discovered, highly affordable due to budget airlines. Image: Dall-E 3</figcaption></figure>
In Europe, zipping across to multiple countries without emptying your wallet is the norm, thanks to an array of budget airlines like Ryanair and EasyJet. Living in Ireland, Donahue managed to explore over 10 countries, from Italy to Greece, often snagging flight deals for as little as 20 euros. The convenience and affordability of travel in Europe allowed her to immerse herself in diverse cultures and landscapes, something that would have been much pricier back home.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Generous Paid Time Off</h3>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/10102726/europe-better-than-america-2-1024x576.jpeg" alt="European labor laws ensure substantial paid vacation, a stark contrast to the US. Image: Dall-E 3" class="wp-image-332712" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/10102726/europe-better-than-america-2-1024x576.jpeg 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/10102726/europe-better-than-america-2-300x169.jpeg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/10102726/europe-better-than-america-2-768x432.jpeg 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/10102726/europe-better-than-america-2.jpeg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">European labor laws ensure substantial paid vacation, a stark contrast to the US. Image: Dall-E 3</figcaption></figure>
Europe takes work-life balance seriously. In her stint there, she enjoyed 29 paid vacation days, plus public holidays, adding up to roughly 40 days off per year. That&#8217;s a stark contrast to the US, where many don&#8217;t even get paid time off. European companies don&#8217;t just offer vacation; they encourage you to take it to recharge fully.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Multilingual Culture</h3>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/10102817/europe-better-than-america-3-1024x576.jpeg" alt="Unlike the US, where bilingualism isn't emphasized, Europe fosters multilingual education from a young age. Image: Dall-E 3" class="wp-image-332715" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/10102817/europe-better-than-america-3-1024x576.jpeg 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/10102817/europe-better-than-america-3-300x169.jpeg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/10102817/europe-better-than-america-3-768x432.jpeg 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/10102817/europe-better-than-america-3.jpeg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Unlike the US, where bilingualism isn&#8217;t emphasized, Europe fosters multilingual education from a young age. Image: Dall-E 3</figcaption></figure>
Unlike the US, where bilingualism isn&#8217;t as emphasized, Europe thrives on multilingualism. From Dutch to Portuguese, the people she met in Dublin could easily switch between languages, something that both impressed and inspired Donahue.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Quality And Prices Of Food</h3>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/10102853/europe-better-than-america-4-1024x576.jpeg" alt="The availability and affordability of fresh, high-quality food were starkly different in Europe. Image: Dall-E 3" class="wp-image-332720" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/10102853/europe-better-than-america-4-1024x576.jpeg 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/10102853/europe-better-than-america-4-300x169.jpeg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/10102853/europe-better-than-america-4-768x432.jpeg 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/10102853/europe-better-than-america-4.jpeg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">The availability and affordability of fresh, high-quality food were starkly different in Europe. Image: Dall-E 3</figcaption></figure>
The quality and affordability of fresh produce in Europe were a revelation. Markets brimming with fresh fruits, vegetables, and artisanal products like bread and cheese were regular sights. In Ireland, Donahue spent about $50 weekly on groceries, a figure that has at least tripled since returning to Boston.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Affordable College Tuition</h3>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/10103004/europe-better-than-america-5-1024x576.jpeg" alt="Pursuing higher education in Europe also proved more economical. Image: Dall-E 3" class="wp-image-332737" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/10103004/europe-better-than-america-5-1024x576.jpeg 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/10103004/europe-better-than-america-5-300x169.jpeg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/10103004/europe-better-than-america-5-768x432.jpeg 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/10103004/europe-better-than-america-5.jpeg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Pursuing higher education in Europe also proved more economical. Image: Dall-E 3</figcaption></figure>
Tuition fees in Europe can be a fraction of those in the US. Donahue earned her master&#8217;s degree from Trinity College Dublin for about $20,000 per year — half of what she would have paid stateside. This affordability makes higher education more accessible and less financially daunting in Europe.

Mother's Day 2024: Heartfelt Ways To Make Mom's Day Special, No Matter The Distance

Former President Donald Trump criticized the gag order imposed on his ex-lawyer Michael Cohen by Judge Juan Merchan in the ongoing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38751527/stormy-daniels-says-nobody-would-ever-want-to-publicly-say-they-had-sex-with-trump-as-ex-presidents">hush money trial</a>, branding it a &#8220;joke&#8221; and a &#8220;disgrace.&#8221;
What Happened: Trump expressed his disapproval of the gag order during his hush money trial on Friday, <a href="https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/4656568-trump-disgrace-judge-merchan-michael-cohen">reported</a> The Hill. The order restricts Cohen from discussing the case publicly as his testimony nears.
Trump&#8217;s legal team has repeatedly criticized Cohen&#8217;s public criticisms, arguing that the ex-president&#8217;s ability to respond is limited under the terms of the gag order.
Trump&#8217;s attorney, Todd Blanche, requested that Cohen be prohibited from speaking publicly in the same way that Trump is restricted. Judge Merchan directed prosecutors to inform Cohen to refrain from making any further statements about the case.
Cohen is expected to testify on Monday and has been identified as a key witness for the district attorney&#8217;s office. He made a $130,000 hush money payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, who alleged she had an affair with Trump in 2006, a claim he denies.

Trump&#8217;s gag order prevents him from attacking witnesses, jurors, prosecutors, court staff, and the judge&#8217;s family. However, it does not prevent him from criticizing the judge or Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
Why It Matters: The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/05/38687167/stormy-daniels-wants-trump-to-be-held-accountable-go-to-jail-former-presidents-lawyers-call-for-">criminal trial</a> against Trump alleges that he falsified business records for a hush money payment made to Daniels. The trial has seen several key witnesses, including Daniels herself, take the stand.
Daniels testified that she never asked for the money, which Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/05/38749159/stormy-daniels-says-she-never-asked-for-money-in-trump-hush-money-case-former-president-declares">allegedly paid</a> to keep their affair a secret. Trump has consistently criticized the trial, calling it &#8220;fake&#8221; and asserting his innocence.
Earlier this week, Judge Merchan found Trump in violation of the gag order for the 10th time and ordered him to pay a $1,000 fine for attacking jurors. Trump stated he would be <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/05/38771094/trump-lashes-out-at-fake-hush-money-criminal-trial-ahead-of-michael-cohens-monday-testimony-id-b">&#8220;very proud&#8221; to go to jail</a> for violating the gag order.

Trump Slams Judge's Gag Order On His Former Lawyer As 'A Disgrace:' 'What He Just Did Now Is A Joke'

Wedbush analyst&nbsp;Dan Ives&nbsp;is of the opinion that China would retaliate if the U.S. were to increase tariffs on electric vehicle imports from China. 
What Happened: &#8220;Retaliatory definitely could happen. This Game of Thrones continues to play out,&#8221; Ives said in an<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3F328rYMaM"> interview</a> with Bloomberg. As per an exclusive report from The Wall Street Journal, the Biden administration is planning to raise the tariffs on China&#8217;s EVs from 25% to around 100%, with an additional 2.5% duty on all imported cars into the U.S.
Low-cost EVs from China entering the U.S. market would pose a significant challenge to EV giant Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) as well as other traditional U.S. automakers who have made substantial investments in EVs, Ives said. However, retaliatory action is a concern, he added.
Why It Matters: The Biden administration&#8217;s decision to impose new tariffs on China&#8217;s EVs is part of a broader strategy to target strategic sectors. The new tariffs, which are expected to be announced as soon as next week, will<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38758049/biden-plans-new-tariffs-on-china-targets-electric-vehicles-and-other-strategic-sectors-report"> reportedly also cover batteries and solar cells</a>. This move is likely to have significant implications for the global EV market and could potentially escalate trade tensions between the U.S. and China.

China Likely To Retaliate Against US Tariffs On Electric Vehicles, Says Top Analyst Dan Ives: 'Game Of Thrones Continues To Play Out'

Why It Matters: The sun has produced moderate to strong solar flares since Wednesday. Solar material eruptions that accompany these flares, called coronal mass ejections (CMEs), cause geomagnetic storms when they reach Earth&#8217;s surface. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) issued a warning of a geomagnetic storm for Friday evening and said that storm conditions may last through the weekend. 
The solar storm hitting Earth could produce displays of aurora in the U.S. as far south as Northern California and also pose the risk of disrupting power and communications due to their impact on infrastructure in near-Earth orbit and Earth&#8217;s surface, the NOAA said, while adding that it has already warned these system operators to take protective actions.
&#8220;This is an unusual and potentially historic event,&#8221; NOAA&#8217;s Space Weather Prediction Center Director Clinton Wallace said about the storm. &nbsp;

Elon Musk Says SpaceX Satellites Impacted By Ongoing Solar Storm: '…But Holding Up So Far'

OpenAI COO Brad Lightcap on Thursday said that it is still premature to assess the complete economic impact of artificial intelligence.
What Happened: Speaking at Bloomberg&#8217;s Tech <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2024-05-10/openai-coo-says-it-s-too-soon-to-see-ai-s-full-impact-on-economy?srnd=technology-vp">Summit</a>, Lightcap said that the rise of generative AI has not yet significantly transformed the economy. However, he and other AI leaders anticipate more substantial changes in the future.
Despite the initial excitement surrounding AI&#8217;s potential to revolutionize&nbsp;productivity and create new jobs, the actual impact has been&nbsp;more subtle. While there have&nbsp;been some AI-driven layoffs, entire professions have not been replaced or created. It remains unclear how much additional work AI has facilitated.
Earlier this year, Jerome Powell, the chair of the Federal Reserve, stated that while generative AI can enhance productivity growth, it is unlikely to do so in the immediate future.

Lightcap suggested that it is still too early to determine whether the potential of AI has been overhyped. He humorously remarked that reshaping the economy within a year would be a tall order. &#8220;We have a year to reshape the economy? That's a tall order!&#8221;
If OpenAI were to cease all future AI development, which is not the case, Nightcap suggested that it would still require considerable time for the complete ramifications of its existing models to materialize. However, he is &#8220;fairly confident at this point that there would be this 10- to 20-year diffusion period through the economy of just GPT-4 level technology.&#8221;
Other AI leaders at the event echoed Lightcap&#8217;s sentiments, emphasizing the technology&#8217;s long-term disruptive potential despite its relatively muted early effects.
&#8220;We are probably going to overestimate this technology in the short-term,&#8221; said Clement Delangue, chief executive officer of Hugging Face. &#8220;Maybe we're going to be disappointed in a year, or two years, but we've also probably underestimated the long-term impact of AI in 10 years. The world is going to be very different.&#8221;

Why It Matters: OpenAI and other AI companies are actively preparing for this future. OpenAI, for instance,&nbsp;has been expanding its enterprise&nbsp;business,&nbsp;selling a customized version of&nbsp;ChatGPT to numerous corporate clients. Moreover, on Friday, it was also reported that&nbsp;Apple Inc. is on the verge of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38774065/apple-chooses-sam-altman-led-openai-to-integrate-chatgpt-into-iphone-deal-almost-done-report">integrating ChatGPT into its iPhones</a>. 
Meanwhile, OpenAI&#8217;s CEO,&nbsp;Sam Altman, has&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38774244/openais-sam-altman-shoots-down-search-engine-and-gpt-5-rumors-teases-may-13-event-some-new-stuff-peo">denied rumors of developing</a> a search engine or launching GPT-5, instead teasing &#8220;some new stuff&#8221; the company is working on. Previously, it was reported that OpenAI is set to announce its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38751052/googles-new-rival-may-finally-be-here-sam-altmans-openai-could-launch-it-just-ahead-of-search-giants">AI-powered search product</a>, potentially intensifying its rivalry with&nbsp;Alphabet Inc.&#8216;s&nbsp;Google.

OpenAI Top Exec Says It's Too Early To Gauge AI's Full Economic Impact: 'We've A Year To Reshape The Economy? That's A Tall Order'

Whitney Wolfe Herd, the founder of Bumble Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMBL#NASDAQ">BMBL</a>), has suggested that artificial intelligence (AI) could revolutionize the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/05/38733540/bumble-could-close-value-gap-to-tinders-parent-company-expert-predicts-45-upside-on">online dating industry</a>.
What Happened: Herd discussed the potential of AI in modern dating at the <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/2024-05-09/how-bumble-will-use-ai-to-create-healthier-relationships">Bloomberg</a> Technology Summit.
She proposed the idea of an &#8220;AI dating concierge&#8221; that could help users navigate their insecurities and even go on dates on their behalf. Herd believes that AI could alleviate the pressure on human users and foster healthy relationships.
She also suggested that AI could teach users how to flirt, potentially addressing the issue of the average U.S. single not dating due to a lack of confidence or fear.

&#8220;If you want to get really out there, there is a world where your dating concierge could go and date for you with [an]other dating concierge,&#8221; she said. "No. No. Truly," she reiterated her stance when the audience gasped and chuckled.
Why It Matters: These comments come after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/11/35641406/heres-why-bumbles-founder-and-ceo-whitney-wolfe-herd-is-stepping-down-after-nearly-10-years">Herd&#8217;s resignation</a> as Bumble&#8217;s CEO in January 2024 after a decade-long tenure at the top, with Lidiane Jones taking over.
Under Jones&#8217; leadership, Bumble has made significant changes, such as removing the requirement for women to send the first message, a feature that was previously a signature of the app.
Besides, Herd&#8217;s vision for AI in online dating is not entirely new. In a previous interview, she spoke about the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/08/34147942/combating-loneliness-with-artificial-intelligence-bumbles-new-approach-to-relationship-building">potential of AI</a> to transform relationships, acknowledging the concerns around AI&#8217;s impact on human companionship.
Price Action: Bumble's shares closed at $11.45 on Friday, unchanged from the previous close, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Tired Of Swiping Left And Right? Bumble Founder Says AI Could Do It For You: 'No. No. Truly'

Morgan Stanley&nbsp;analyst&nbsp;Adam Jonas sees Tesla Inc&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) upcoming shareholder vote driving material volatility in the stock and determining the company&#8217;s long-term strategic direction as company CEO Elon Musk&#8216;s pay package hangs in limbo. 
Analyst Recommendation: For the upcoming shareholder meeting scheduled for June, Tesla shareholders will vote again on Musk&#8217;s 2018 pay package which was rescinded by a Delaware court earlier this year after deeming it an &#8220;unfathomable sum.&#8221; The package was worth $56 billion at the time of award. 
The outcome of the vote on the package will be key to determining if the CEO gets a 25% voting block within the company, Jonas said in a note on Friday. Musk has previously expressed discomfort with advancing Tesla in the field of AI without having 25% voting. While the approval of the pay package by itself does not assure the CEO of his desired voting block, it would make it &#8220;increasingly difficult&#8221; for Musk to achieve <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36652560/elon-musk-wants-to-own-25-of-tesla-heres-how-much-of-the-ev-stock-the-ceo-owns">25% ownership </a>if the package is rejected, the analyst noted.
Tesla&#8217;s AI potential will remain limited and its share price dominated by larger EV market developments until Musk&#8217;s voting control issue is resolved, Jonas said. &#8220;This is extremely problematic for Tesla investors for a number of reasons, including the inability to quantify the impact,&#8221; he said. 
The attention being paid to the performance of the stock since the start of the year, however, is &#8216;surprisingly little,&#8217; the analyst noted. 
Why It Matters: Tesla&#8217;s annual meeting will be held on June 13, 2024, at 3:30 p.m. Central Time (CT).&nbsp;Shareholders will vote both on moving Tesla&#8217;s state of incorporation from Delaware to Texas and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38288360/breaking-tesla-shareholders-to-vote-again-on-ceo-elon-musks-voided-47b-pay-package">Musk&#8217;s rescinded pay package</a>. 
Price Action:&nbsp;Tesla shares closed down 2% on Friday at $168.47. The stock is down 32.2% year-to-date, as per data from&nbsp;<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>.
