Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk earlier this week leveled allegations against OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, accusing him of misleading statements about a $10 billion equity agreement.
What Happened:  Musk on Thursday took to his social media platform, X to express his disappointment with Altman. The tech mogul, sharing a Reuters report from September 2024, said, &#8220;Altman literally testified to Congress that he wouldn&#8217;t get OpenAI compensation, and now he wants $10 billion! What a liar.&#8221;

&mdash; Elon Musk (@elonmusk) <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1882259573765243258?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 23, 2025</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
OpenAI, initially a non-profit organization, is now transitioning to a for-profit model. This shift will see Altman receiving equity in the company, potentially&nbsp;valued at up to $150&nbsp;billion. Musk&#8217;s criticism stems from Altman&#8217;s previous assurance that he would not&nbsp;seek financial gain from OpenAI.
OpenAI did not immediately respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> request for comment.

For unversed, during his testimony before the U.S. Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Privacy, Technology, and the Law in 2023, the CEO said that he receives minimal compensation from OpenAI, sufficient only to qualify for health insurance, and holds no equity in the company. He emphasized that his motivation for leading OpenAI is driven by passion rather than financial gain.&nbsp;
Why It Matters: This is not the first time Musk has criticized Altman over OpenAI&#8217;s shift to a for-profit model. In December 2024, Musk labeled the transformation a &#8220;total scam&#8221; and accused the organization of deviating from its original mission.
In a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42609769/elon-musk-is-a-legendary-entrepreneur-but-also-a-bully-says-openai-ceo-sam-altman-now-its-me-its-been-bezos-gates-zuckerberg-lots-of-other-people">December 2024 interview</a>, Altman referred to Musk as a &#8220;legendary entrepreneur&#8221; but also a &#8220;bully.&#8221; He noted that Musk would likely be content with OpenAI&#8217;s progress if he was at the helm. However, despite their strained relationship, Altman&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/41893707/openai-ceo-sam-altman-thanks-elon-musk-for-early-support-in-chatgpts-rise-and-shares-advice-hed-give-his-younger-self-at-stanford">acknowledged Musk&#8217;s crucial role</a>&nbsp;in OpenAI&#8217;s early funding. 
Musk co-founded OpenAI in 2015 and left the AI startup in 2018. Since then, he has criticized and sued OpenAI, accusing it of deception and using him for competitive advantage.
Altman&#8217;s stance on political figures has also seen a shift. Earlier this week, Altman publicly expressed his support for President Donald Trump, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43153571/openais-sam-altman-flip-flops-on-trump-as-500-billion-stargate-ai-project-is-announced-years-after-praising-reid-hoffman-for-stopping-his-re-election">a shift in his perspective</a> that he attributed to observing the president more closely.

Elon Musk Accuses OpenAI CEO Sam Altman Of Lying Over $10B Equity: 'What A Liar'

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) executive Siddhant Awasthi said on Thursday that the company is now looking to launch accessories for the Cybertruck including an off-road armor and rocker by the end of March, later than the previously offered timeline.
What Happened: Awasthi also said that the company is now finishing delivering wheel covers to Cybertruck customers. 
&#8220;We have secured supply but distribution is the bottleneck now (32% complete),&#8221; Awasthi said in his post on X.

Cybertruck lead engineer Wes Morrill said in September that battery armor and rock sliders will be available as a retrofit option on the Cybertruck <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40788042/tesla-engineer-pins-video-of-cybertruck-sustaining-damage-on-driving-through-fence-to-removal-of-sto">by the end of 2024</a> to ensure added protection to the vehicle when off-roading. Morrill was responding to a video by a YouTuber called Super Ron who ran a Cybertruck through a white picket fence in one of his videos posted in June. The vehicle sustained significant damage, raising questions about the truck's durability and off-roading protection.
However, Morrill took to X to note that the truck used in the video had the front bumper and aluminum skid plate for underbody protection removed.
"…if you plan to drive into fences probably best not to remove the front bumper and aluminum skid plate that come stock," Morrill wrote.&nbsp;
Why It Matters: However, 2024 ended but the battery armor that Morrill promised for off-roading is yet to be launched. 
Tesla started delivering the Cybertruck in late 2023. According to recent data from automotive research firm Kelley Blue Book, Tesla delivered 38,965 Cybertrucks in the U.S. throughout the year, even when its overall vehicle deliveries dropped by 5.6% year-on-year.
The Cybertruck was the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42995131/10-best-selling-evs-in-us-in-2024">fifth best-selling EV in the U.S. last year </a>after the Tesla Model Y, Model 3, Ford Mustang Mach-E, and Hyundai Ioniq 5, despite the vehicle&#8217;s high starting price.
The vehicle starts at $79,990 in the U.S., with the more premium Cyberbeast variant priced at a whopping $99,990.

Cybertruck Off Road Armor Launch Delayed To March-End, Says Tesla Exec

EV giant Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) will realistically deliver 1.8 million vehicles this year, more or less in line with its deliveries in 2024, according to researcher Troy Teslike.
What Happened: Teslike said in a post on social media platform X that the company would realistically deliver 1.8 million vehicles in 2025. While 1.9 million vehicle deliveries will be &#8220;very optimistic,&#8221; 1.7 million would be &#8220;below expectations,&#8221; the analyst said. 
<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">Here&#39;s what I think about Tesla&#39;s vehicle deliveries this year: • 1.9M (Very Optimistic) • 1.8M (Realistic) • 1.7M (Below Expectations)
&mdash; Troy Teslike (@TroyTeslike) <a href="https://twitter.com/TroyTeslike/status/1882773830231605309?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 24, 2025</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Teslike&#8217;s realistic numbers mark meagre to no growth from 2024 when the company delivered 1,789,226 vehicles. In a post reply, he dismissed the impact of the company launching a new and refreshed version of its best-selling Model Y SUV on deliveries noting that the launch of a refreshed version of the Model 3 in China in late 2023 and in the U.S. in early 2024 did not aid annual deliveries. 
Teslike&#8217;s estimates also consider Tesla&#8217;s promise for new vehicles, including more affordable ones in the first half of 2025. 
&#8220;When Elon says the first half of 2025, he means the last day of June. I already included the lower-cost model in Q3 and Q4,&#8221; Teslike said while adding that the vehicle will likely be priced below $30,000 after counting in a federal EV tax credit of $7500, implying the vehicle will cost nearly $37,500 without the credit. 
Why It Matters: Tesla launched a new and refreshed version of the Model Y first in China earlier this month and in the U.S. earlier this week. Deliveries in both geographies are slated to start in March.
In the U.S., the long-range all-wheel drive variant of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43183608/tesla-launches-refreshed-model-y-variant-in-us-canada-after-china">refreshed Model Y starts at $59,990</a>, or about 25% more expensive than its predecessor. 
The company has warned of price hikes on its entire car lineup in the neighboring market of Canada starting Feb. 1, with Model 3 prices expected to rise by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43151994/tesla-to-hike-car-prices-in-canada-by-as-much-as-c9000">as much as C$9000.</a>
In China, Tesla&#8217;s second biggest market after the U.S., the company hiked prices of the Model 3 by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/01/42907586/tesla-model-3-prices-rise-in-china-as-refreshed-model-y-debuts">3,600 yuan earlier this month</a> as it faces severe competition from Chinese EV makers. 
In Tesla&#8217;s last quarterly report, the company said that its plans for new vehicles, including more affordable ones, remain &#8220;on track&#8221; for the start of production in the first half. The company said these vehicles will be produced on the same manufacturing lines as its current lineup. 
Tesla reported global&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/01/42766117/tesla-stock-tumbles-on-q4-deliveries-whats-going-on" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">deliveries of 1.79 million</a>&nbsp;vehicles in 2024, down from full-year deliveries of 1.81 million in 2023, marking the first decline in over a decade.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk, however, said in October that he expects vehicle sales to grow by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/01/42802658/tesla-ceo-elon-musks-20-to-30-sales-growth-target-for-2025-is-not-realistic-says-analyst">20%-30% in 2025.</a>

Researcher Expects Tesla's Vehicle Deliveries To Remain Flat In 2025, Contrary To Musk's 20-30% Growth Prediction

In 1981, Steve Jobs expressed skepticism about the home market for personal computers. Just three years later, Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/01/30563469/steve-jobs-unveiled-1st-apple-mac-nearly-four-decades-ago-would-you-still-find-it-cool" target="_blank" rel="noopener">unveiled the</a> Macintosh, a device that not only changed computing but also set the stage for the tech giant's dominance in consumer tech.
What Happened: In a 1981 interview, Jobs shared his view on why Apple deliberately avoided branding their early devices as &#8220;home computers.&#8221;
Instead, he underscored the broader utility of personal computers in fields like education, science, and business, asserting that the &#8220;home&#8221; was not yet a viable market.

He said, "We view the home not really as a market yet&#8230; There&#8217;s not enough specific applications to cost-justify spending a thousand to three thousand dollars for a personal computer to be used in the home."
At the time, he believed the home was merely a location for computing, not a dedicated market.

The Launch Of The Macintosh
On Jan. 24, 1984, Apple introduced the first-ever Macintosh for $2,495. The brainchild of Jef Raskin, who began the project in the late 1970s, the Macintosh was designed to bring powerful computing to the masses.
The original Macintosh featured 64KB of ROM, 128KB of RAM, and integrated Lisa Technology, all packaged into a sleek, compact device weighing 16.5 pounds.
Its design philosophy emphasized simplicity and user-friendliness, making it a stark contrast to the more complex systems of the time.
Apple's marketing campaign for the Macintosh centered around two application programs: word processing and graphics. These were offered free to users for the first 100 days after purchase. The company also highlighted the Macintosh's innovative "mouse" technology, describing it as "a small pointing device — to select among functions listed in menus and represented by pictorial symbols on the screen."
Although the $2,495 price tag was steep for many customers, the Macintosh succeeded. By May 1984, Apple had reportedly sold 70,000 units.
While the original Macintosh was discontinued in less than a year, it marked the beginning of Apple's journey toward building an enduring ecosystem of personal computing devices. The current lineup — including the MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iMac, iMac Pro, Mac Mini, and Mac Pro — originates from this revolutionary device.
In 2024, Apple reported fiscal <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41666494/apple-q4-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-installed-base-hits-new-highs-iphone-sales-rise-as-apple-in" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fourth-quarter revenue</a> of $94.9 billion, surpassing analyst expectations of $94.56 billion. The company&#8217;s Mac revenue was $7.74 billion, slightly increasing from $7.61 billion in the same quarter the previous year.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown, one of the highest-paid players in the NFL, has been making headlines lately – not just for his on-field talent but for his unassuming lifestyle choices. Brown, who signed a $96 million contract extension last offseason, surprised fans when he pulled up to a playoff game in a modest $30,000 Honda Accord.

</ul>
While luxury cars are often the norm for athletes of his caliber, Brown's decision sparked a wave of admiration on social media. Many praised him for staying grounded despite his wealth. One <a href="https://x.com/Talmadge18/status/1881084987363192934">tweet</a> by wealth manager Adam Talmadge summed up the sentiment: "This should be praised, not shamed! 78% of NFL players experience financial stress within two years of leaving the league. Warren Buffett drives a 2014 Cadillac XTS! I see a man who understands financial responsibility."
The comparison to billionaire investor Warren Buffett isn't far off. Buffett, famously frugal, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/05/39040353/warren-buffett-drives-10-year-old-cadillac-bought-with-hail-damage">still drives a 2014 Cadillac XTS</a> he purchased with hail damage and lives in the same modest Omaha home he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41107810/billionaire-warren-buffett-still-lives-in-an-old-corner-house-he-purchased-for-32k-i-couldnt-imagine">bought in 1958 for $31,500</a>. Like Buffett, Brown's choice reflects a financial discipline rare in professional sports.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Viral Moment That Resonates</h2>
This isn't the first time Brown has gone viral during the NFL playoffs. In the Eagles' Wild Card win over the Green Bay Packers, cameras caught him reading a self-help book, Inner Excellence by Jim Murphy, on the sidelines. The moment resonated so much with fans that it <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/psychology/25/01/42964097/nfl-star-helps-self-help-book-hit-1-on-amazon-my-teammates-call-it-the-recipe">catapulted the book to #1</a> on Amazon's charts. Brown explained that the book, which focuses on mental toughness and peak performance, helps him stay sharp on and off the field.

Brown's grounded approach to finances and mental health has won him admiration beyond football. In a league where players are often pressured to flaunt their wealth, his modest car and sideline reading habit symbolize his focus on long-term well-being.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why It Matters</h2>
Brown's actions remind us that wealth doesn't have to result in flashy spending. Statistics show that many NFL players face financial difficulties shortly after retirement, highlighting the importance of financial literacy and responsibility. Brown sets an example for athletes and fans by choosing a reliable and affordable car.
Buffett has often said that additional spending doesn't significantly improve the quality of life after a certain level of comfort. Similarly, Brown's decisions – from his car to his mental game – demonstrate a commitment to living intentionally, even in a world where excess is often celebrated.

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning United Airlines Holdings Stock In The Last 15 Years

OpenAI on Thursday released a research preview of a new AI agent called &#8220;Operator,&#8221; which uses the internet <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/artificial-intelligence">to perform a range of tasks</a>. 
Analysts are weighing in on which publicly traded companies could benefit <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/24/11/41964846/openais-operator-ai-agent-will-perform-tasks-like-coding-travel-booking-and-more-launch-expected-in-january-next-year-report">from the collaboration</a>.
Expert Ideas: Bank of America Securities analysts, led by Michael McGovern, highlighted Operator's capabilities. For example, it can:
<ul>
<li>Book rides from Uber Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>)</li>
<li>Order from restaurants using DoorDash (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DASH#NASDAQ">DASH</a>) and</li>
<li>Add items to an order on Maplebear, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CART#NASDAQ">CART</a>) Instacart platform. </li>
</ul>

BofA pointed to OpenAI's demonstration of Operator which shows the AI agent ordering food from Instacart using a recipe to add each ingredient to the shopping cart. The firm sees AI agents as especially helpful with "complex basket-building" of online grocery orders.&nbsp;
"In our view, grocery ordering online could become significantly easier with AI Agents, and expect DASH &amp; Uber would likely have the most relative benefit," the analysts wrote.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The collaborations with Uber, Instacart and DoorDash are in the early stages and BofA expects the possibility of long-term partnerships allowing for more streamlined and/or additional services offered. &nbsp;
OpenAI said that Operator employs a "Computer-Using Agent" model, which integrates GPT-4o's vision capabilities with advanced reasoning through reinforcement learning. This allows it to interact with graphical user interfaces (GUIs) without custom API integrations.
Operator is currently available to subscribers of OpenAI&#8217;s $200-per-month Pro tier in the U.S. and BofA expects expansion to subscribers on the $20-per-month tier later in 2025.
