With the launch of 20 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit on Tuesday, Elon Musk&#8216;s SpaceX has completed 50 launches this year, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36860379/one-month-into-2024-spacex-is-already-falling-short-of-its-own-launch-targets-temporary-setback-or-c">more than half of its total launches</a> last year. 
What Happened: &#8220;Congratulations to the SpaceX team on launching our 50th Falcon mission of the year!&#8221; SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell wrote on social media platform X, formerly Twitter. &#8220;&#8230;it's been an extraordinary year so far and we&#8217;re not even halfway done yet!&#8221;

&mdash; Gwynne Shotwell (@Gwynne_Shotwell) <a href="https://twitter.com/Gwynne_Shotwell/status/1790468333374214568?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 14, 2024</a></blockquote>

The company has launched customer satellites, cargo, astronauts, and also its own Starlink satellites to orbit since the start of 2024. The company had its first launch of the year on Jan. 2, when it launched 21 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from California. In its latest mission, SpaceX launched 20 Starlink satellites, also from California.
The 50 launches do not include <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38782522/spacex-starship-likely-to-fly-for-4th-time-next-month-as-elon-musk-reaffirms-new-goals">Starship&#8217;s third test flight in March</a> when the spacecraft lost contact and broke down while re-entering the planet's atmosphere instead of splashing down as planned in the Indian Ocean. 
Why It Matters: CEO Elon Musk has said the company is aiming for 12 launches per month in 2024, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36690656/spacex-plans-for-equipment-that-never-sleeps-to-achieve-record-144-launches-this-year">totaling 144 launches.</a> However, to touch the targeted 144 launches, the company will have to ramp up the number of launches in the upcoming months.
For the entirety of 2023, SpaceX only completed 96 launches, marking a 57% year-on-year increase, not including two Starship test flights. The company's launch numbers have been steadily increasing, with 26 launches in 2020, 31 in 2021, and 61 in 2022.

The meme stock frenzy&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/options/24/05/38825760/gamestop-option-traders-active-before-roaring-kittys-tweets-might-have-made-millions" rel="noreferrer noopener">reignited on Wall Street this week</a>, fueled by the return of &#8220;Roaring Kitty,&#8221; a key player in the 2021 surge. This resurgence sparked a discussion on the psychology driving these volatile investments, with economist and former hedge fund manager&nbsp;Raoul Pal&nbsp;offering his insights.
What Happened:&nbsp;A social media user&nbsp;took aim at&nbsp;traditional finance theories suggesting low interest rates caused the meme stock phenomenon surrounding&nbsp;GameStop Corp.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>).&nbsp;
&#8220;One of the funniest things is&nbsp;tradfi&nbsp;assigning the GME/meme phenomena to low interest rates.&nbsp;Well&nbsp;guess what&#8230;interest rates are at multi-decade highs and they running it back again lmao,&#8221; the user said.
Pal agreed with this argument. &#8220;Yeah,&nbsp;its&nbsp;nothing to do with interest rates but the need for speculation to get ahead&nbsp;because&nbsp;of interest rates, debasement, jobs, etc,&#8221; he said. &#8220;The clock is ticking on the 25 to&nbsp;40 year olds&#8230;&#8221;

Why It Matters:&nbsp;The Fed funds rate, a key benchmark impacting borrowing costs, currently sits at a 22-year high of 5.25%-5.50%.
Pal&#8217;s point resonates with the current economic climate. The post-pandemic period has brought significant uncertainty, with inflation rising and the Fed raising rates to combat it.&nbsp;
Companies struggling to grow revenue have resorted to layoffs, impacting personal finances.
Millennials, the first generation raised on the internet,&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/03/37869282/i-am-not-prepared-for-life-millennials-blame-their-boomer-parents-for-not-teaching-them-how-to-b" rel="noreferrer noopener">are particularly affected</a>&nbsp;by these financial anxieties. A 2023 Northwestern Mutual study revealed that 54% of respondents belonging to this category experience depression due to financial uncertainty, compared to 34% of the general population.
New Meme Wave:&nbsp;Amidst this backdrop, meme stocks like GameStop and&nbsp;AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMC#NYSE">AMC</a>) have experienced a dramatic rise. So far this week, GameStop has gained 179% and AMC 135%, with trading halts interrupting the rallies.&nbsp;
Before Monday, GameStop was down slightly for the year, while AMC was down a steeper 52%. The stocks closed Tuesday at $48.75 and $6.85, respectively, with whopping gains, according to&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

In a significant development, Chinese chipmakers are making headway in producing high bandwidth memory (HBM) semiconductors, a crucial component in artificial intelligence (AI) chipsets. This progress marks a key step in China&#8217;s efforts to diminish its dependence on foreign suppliers amid ongoing tensions with the U.S.
What Happened: China&#8217;s leading DRAM chip manufacturer, CXMT, has successfully developed sample HBM chips in collaboration with chip packaging and testing company Tongfu Microelectronics, Reuters reported on Wednesday. These chips are currently being showcased to clients. 
Another Chinese firm, Wuhan Xinxin, is constructing a factory capable of producing 3,000 12-inch HBM wafers per month. This initiative, which commenced in February, is a clear indication of China&#8217;s commitment to advancing its chip sector.
Both CXMT and Wuhan Xinxin are private companies that have received local government funding to drive technological advancements in China&#8217;s chip sector.

Why It Matters: The recent progress in China&#8217;s chip sector is a significant development in the global semiconductor industry, especially considering the country&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/05/38800273/chinas-semiconductor-spending-tops-us-with-142b-commitment-global-chip-race-heats-up">topped the U.S. in semiconductor spending</a>.

YouTuber and&nbsp;Tesla Inc&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) enthusiast&nbsp;Dillon Loomis&nbsp;believes the EV giant needs&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/04/38399275/no-choice-elon-musk-reacts-as-x-user-reveals-main-reason-why-the-billionaire-is-re-organizing-te" rel="noreferrer noopener">CEO&nbsp;</a><a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/04/38399275/no-choice-elon-musk-reacts-as-x-user-reveals-main-reason-why-the-billionaire-is-re-organizing-te" rel="noreferrer noopener">Elon Musk</a>&nbsp;to drive its market value and future vision of making the auto world fully electric.
What Happened:&nbsp;In a post on X on Tuesday, Loomis said he is &#8220;sick&#8221; of people commenting on how Musk is&nbsp;bad&nbsp;for Tesla and the company needs a more stable CEO. Loomis, for one, is convinced otherwise.&nbsp;
&#8220;Tesla would not be anywhere close to where it is today if it had some risk-averse leader calling the shots the past decade,&#8221; Loomis said, adding that those wanting more traditional CEOs should invest in ETFs or bond funds to avoid the risks involved with Tesla. 
It was not immediately clear if Loomis was a Tesla investor.
&#8220;$TSLA has always been a high beta, risk-on stock with the mission of transitioning the world&nbsp;to sustainable energy. Doing so requires a bit of &#8216;crazy&#8217;,&#8221; Loomis said. The YouTuber thinks that the criticism faced by the CEO is &#8220;out of control&#8221;&nbsp;and obstructs&nbsp;the &#8220;bigger picture&#8221; of Tesla potentially becoming a multi-trillion dollar company selling robotaxis and robots profitably.&nbsp;
&#8220;Tesla&#8217;s market cap ceiling with a vanilla, play-it-safe, don&#8217;t rock the boat CEO would be significantly&nbsp;lower than what it is with Elon steering the ship,&#8221; Loomis wrote. &#8220;Even if the direction at times in the short-term doesn&#8217;t make sense with the limited information we have.&#8221;

Why It Matters:&nbsp;Many of Musk&#8217;s decisions for Tesla and&nbsp;his&nbsp;other companies have faced significant flak.&nbsp;Most recently, his decision to focus all of Tesla&#8217;s resources on vehicle autonomy and robotaxis has&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/04/38130387/gene-munster-backs-teslas-focus-on-robotaxis-over-low-cost-ev-gary-black-skeptical-" rel="noreferrer noopener">left analysts and investors</a>&nbsp;divided.&nbsp;
Some investors have also disagreed with the company&#8217;s price-cutting strategy to retain demand instead of relying on advertising to boost sales. Price cuts, they say, have been eroding margins.&nbsp;
Late last year, Musk courted controversy for endorsing an antisemitic conspiracy theory, drawing swift responses&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/11/35854972/elon-musk-twitter-face-backlash-over-antisemitic-claims-i-once-admired-musk-for-his-anti-establishme" rel="noreferrer noopener">from advertisers</a>&nbsp;on X, Tesla investors, and Tesla drivers alike. While Musk later apologized for the post, it left&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/11/35862235/have-elon-musks-recent-antisemitic-posts-shaken-tesla-communitys-loyalty-heres-what-theyre-saying-ab" rel="noreferrer noopener">a few Tesla owners uncomfortable</a>&nbsp;and pushed them away from the brand.

What Happened: JJ Kinahan, CEO of IG North America, suggested that the current meme stock rally is not driven by retail traders, as was the case in the past. Kinahan shared his views during an interview on CNBC&#8217;s Last Call.
&#8220;Last time, in my opinion, this started out with retail traders all doing something at the same time. I do not get the feeling that&#8217;s what happened this time,&#8221; Kinahan said, referring to the current meme stock surge.

While the exact catalyst for the recent meme stock rally <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38824912/stock-market-interest-is-surging-are-meme-stocks-responsible">remains unclear</a>, the surge in these stocks has been remarkable. On Tuesday, GameStop&#8217;s shares soared by as much as 113%, while AMC experienced a 129% surge in early trading before pulling back.
Social media-fueled trading gained traction with the re-emergence of &#8220;Roaring Kitty,&#8221; also known as Keith Gill, a prominent retail trader from the 2021 meme stock era. Gill resumed posting on social media on Sunday, sparking renewed interest and activity in trading circles.
Why It Matters: The current meme stock rally has been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/05/38815078/jim-cramer-bets-cash-strapped-amc-gamestop-may-issue-shares-to-capitalize-on-new-me">a hot topic</a> in the financial world, with many analysts speculating on the driving forces behind it. Some, like Kinahan, believe that retail traders are not the primary force behind the surge, while others, such as Jim Cramer, have suggested that companies like GameStop and AMC may use the stock surge to raise capital through public offerings.
As the meme stock rally continues, analysts are also considering <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/05/38831590/5-ways-the-gamestop-meme-stocks-rally-could-fizzle-stock-offerings-boredom-and-more">potential factors that could fizzle the rally</a>, such as stock offerings and market boredom. However, for now, the surge in meme stocks is undeniably driving significant interest in the stock market.

Gamestop, AMC Meme Stock Rally Not Driven By Retail Traders This Time, IG North America CEO Says 'I Do Not Get The Feeling'

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has accused ex-President Donald Trump of attempting to bribe fossil fuel CEOs to overturn President Joe Biden&#8216;s climate policies.
What Happened: Clinton, in a post on Tuesday, cited a Washington Post report that alleged Trump had promised fossil fuel CEOs a reversal of Biden&#8217;s climate policies in exchange for $1 billion. She described the bribe as &#8220;outrageous&#8221; and questioned why Trump had faced so little political backlash for his actions in the past.
Clinton wrote, &#8220;I&#8217;m still not over Trump promising fossil fuel CEOs that he&#8217;ll reverse Biden&#8217;s climate action in return for $1 billion. It&#8217;s a bribe so outrageous it nearly defies belief—which is why he&#8217;s paid so little political cost for these moves in the past. Can we change that dynamic?&#8221;

At the dinner, Trump pledged to swiftly lift the Biden administration&#8217;s freeze on permits for new liquefied natural gas exports — a key demand of the executives present, according to the Washington Post <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/05/09/trump-oil-industry-campaign-money/">report</a> which cited three individuals at the event.
"You've been waiting on a permit for five years; you'll get it on Day 1," Trump told the executives. 
Trump&#8217;s press team did not immediately respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga</a>'s request for comment.

Why It Matters: This accusation from Clinton comes amid a series of controversies involving Trump and the oil industry. Trump reportedly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38751446/trump-reportedly-seeks-1b-in-campaign-funds-from-exxon-mobil-chevron-other-big-oil-execs-expert-call">sought $1 billion in campaign funds</a> from Exxon Mobil (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>), Chevron (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>), and other major oil companies. This request, made during a meeting at his Palm Beach, Florida home, was met with shock but was deemed legal by industry experts.
Trump&#8217;s ties to the oil industry have been under scrutiny, with U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/05/38781945/chuck-schumer-says-trump-might-be-hosting-dinners-for-big-oil-execs-but-ftc-should-side-with-consume">calling for a reevaluation</a> of the proposed $53 billion merger between Chevron and Hess Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HES#NYSE">HES</a>). Schumer warned that the merger could lead to higher gas prices, further fueling concerns about Trump&#8217;s relationship with the oil industry.
These allegations against Trump also coincide with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/05/38832464/michael-cohen-says-he-was-knee-deep-into-the-cult-of-donald-trump-when-he-admired-lied-for-forme">testimonies from Michael Cohen</a>, Trump&#8217;s former lawyer, in the hush money criminal trial against the ex-president. Cohen admitted to lying to protect Trump, shedding light on the ethical and legal controversies surrounding the former president.
