Tesla Inc&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) Vice President of Manufacturing at Gigafactory Shanghai Song Gang is reportedly leaving the company this week.
What Happened: Song&#8217;s responsibilities will be taken over by Fei Wenjin who was recently promoted to senior director from director of quality, Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-12-18/tesla-s-china-factory-head-song-gang-set-to-depart-this-week">reported</a>, citing unnamed people familiar with the matter. 
According to Song&#8217;s LinkedIn profile, he has been with Tesla since Dec. 2018. Prior to joining Tesla, he also worked with Zhidou Electric Vehicle, Ford Motor, and General Motors.
Song says in his LinkedIn description that he was Tesla&#8217;s first employee at Giga Shanghai. He is currently working on building the EV giant&#8217;s first Megapack factory outside the U.S. 
According to Tesla&#8217;s third-quarter earnings report, the company expects the Shanghai Megafactory to start shipping Megapacks in the first quarter of 2025. Tesla currently has only a Megafactory in Lathrop, California, dedicated to making powerful batteries for large-scale energy storage.
Tesla did not immediately respond to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> request for a statement.
Why It Matters: Tesla&#8217;s gigafactory in Shanghai manufactures the companies&#8217; mass-market offerings, the Model 3 and Model Y, for the domestic market as well as export to foreign markets.
In October, Tesla said that the gigafactory in Shanghai reached a new production <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41303692/teslas-giga-shanghai-hits-3-million-production-milestone-celebrates-with-red-model-rollout">milestone of three million cars</a>.
According to Tesla's third-quarter shareholder report, the gigafactory in Shanghai has an annual vehicle production capacity of over 950,000 vehicles, implying a daily maximum capacity of about 2,603 vehicles.

Tesla Giga Shanghai's First Employee To Leave This Week: Report

Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) has reportedly acquired nearly twice as many Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) AI chips as its closest competitors. This strategic investment is aimed at bolstering its AI capabilities, particularly for its Azure cloud services.
What Happened: Analysts at technology consultancy Omdia estimate that Microsoft has purchased approximately 485,000 of Nvidia &#8220;Hopper&#8221; AI chips this year.
This acquisition is significant as it doubles the number acquired by its nearest rival, Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), which bought 224,000 chips, Financial Times <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/e85e43d1-5ce4-4531-94f1-9e9c1c5b4ff1">reported</a> on Wednesday.
The demand for Nvidia&#8217;s advanced GPUs has surged since the introduction of ChatGPT, prompting tech giants to invest heavily in AI infrastructure. Analysts from Omdia estimate that&nbsp;ByteDance&nbsp;and&nbsp;Tencent&nbsp;each ordered about 230,000 Nvidia chips, including the H20 model, tailored for Chinese markets.

Microsoft&#8217;s aggressive expansion in AI infrastructure is partly driven by its $13 billion investment in OpenAI. The company aims to leverage its AI capabilities for both internal services and customer offerings through Azure. Despite competition, Microsoft continues to rely on Nvidia&#8217;s chips while developing its own AI accelerators.
Why It Matters: The acquisition of Nvidia chips by Microsoft underscores the tech giant&#8217;s strategic focus on enhancing its AI infrastructure. Nvidia&#8217;s dominance in the AI semiconductor market is well-documented, with CNBC's Jim Cramer emphasizing that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42028342/blackwell-backfires-nvidias-ai-chips-struggle-with-server-overheating-impacting-meta-microsoft-and-musks-xai-data-centers">no company can rival </a>Nvidia&#8217;s technological superiority. 
Nvidia posted $35.1 billion in revenue in the third quarter, with data center revenue alone reaching $30.8 billion, underscoring its pivotal role in AI infrastructure.
However, Nvidia&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/42179729/as-nvidia-maintains-chip-supremacy-jim-cramer-says-the-so-called-enemies-of-semiconductor-giant-arent-really-enemies">chips have faced challenges</a>, such as overheating issues in its Blackwell AI chips, impacting companies like Meta and Microsoft.
Despite these challenges, Nvidia&#8217;s chips remain integral to AI advancements, and Microsoft&#8217;s substantial investment reflects its commitment to staying at the forefront of AI technology.

Veteran Wall Street investor&nbsp;Ross Gerber hinted at a promising future for Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) on Tuesday, seemingly elevating it to the level of gold.
What Happened:&nbsp;Gerber, CEO of&nbsp;Gerber Kawasaki Wealth and Investment Management, posted a cryptic message alongside an image of a rainbow on X.
&#8220;If you look closely. There&nbsp;is a pot of Bitcoin&nbsp;at the end of the&nbsp;rainbow,&#8221; he wrote. 
<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">If you look closely. There is a pot of bitcoin at the end of the rainbow. <a href="https://t.co/AzMBm2sLQx">pic.twitter.com/AzMBm2sLQx</a>
&mdash; Ross Gerber (@GerberKawasaki) <a href="https://twitter.com/GerberKawasaki/status/1869103664792760473?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 17, 2024</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
The remark seemed to refer to the popular &#8220;a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow&#8221; idiom, which means something that is very difficult to achieve but one dreams of getting it.
Gerber&#8217;s post may imply that Bitcoin gaining parity with gold as a mainstream hedge against inflation may seem impossible, but it could be achieved if the leading cryptocurrency maintains its bullish momentum.

Why It Matters: Gerber&#8217;s post comes after he recently advised investors <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42405154/ross-gerber-has-a-word-of-advice-for-individual-investors-dont-buy-any-crypto-other-than-bitcoin">not to invest in cryptocurrencies</a> other than Bitcoin, citing a higher possibility of fraud and scam.
Gerber added that his firm has been investing in Bitcoin for the past decade, and it has yet to disappoint them.
As per the latest 13F filing with the SEC, Kawasaki holds 31,588 shares of iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBIT#NASDAQ">IBIT</a>), the world&#8217;s largest Bitcoin-based investment fund, with an estimated market value of $1.56 million.
Bitcoin has surged 135% year-to-date, dwarfing returns from other asset classes, including gold. The yellow metal, despite climbing to new peaks this year, could gain just about 29%.
That said, Wall Street veteran Dennis Gartman has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42501037/famed-investor-dennis-gartman-chooses-gold-over-bitcoin-i-prefer-centuries-bet-over-monthly-bet">downplayed Bitcoin&#8217;s record-breaking run</a> and dismissed its &#8220;digital gold.&#8221; narrative.
Price Action: As of this writing, Bitcoin was trading at $104,128.08, down 2.77% in the last 24 hours, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA.." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.&nbsp;Spot gold was trading at $2,644.73 per ounce.

The New Gold? Seasoned Investor Ross Gerber Spots A 'Pot Of Bitcoin' At The End Of The Rainbow

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/dow-jones-industrial-average">Dow Jones Industrial Average</a> Index fell for the ninth consecutive day on Tuesday which is now one of its longest red streaks in decades.
What Happened: The index last saw such a streak of decline in February 1978, according to FactSet data. However, the index has seen steeper crashes in a single day as compared to the cumulative erosion it has witnessed over these nine days.
Dow Jones has fallen nearly 3.47% to 43,449.90 points over the last nine days since Dec. 4, when it was at 45,014.04 points.
According to an X post by the chief market strategist at Carson Research, Ryan Detrick, &#8220;Since 1900, I see 267 times it lost more than 3.47% in a single day.&#8221;

Why Is Dow Falling: The Dow Jones Industrial Average is a price-weighted index based on 30 U.S. stocks, which first started as an index of 12 industrial stocks. The index has been subject to criticism for its limited scope, particularly its underrepresentation of technology stocks, a sector that has exhibited substantial growth in recent times.
Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) moved to the Dow Jones index, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/24/11/41874537/nvidia-replaces-intel-on-dow-fineprint-of-what-led-to-the-change-along-with-stock-performance">replacing </a>Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) on Nov. 4, this year. Nvidia has split its stock two times in the past four years, the most recent of which was a 10-for-1 swap that took effect in June, which has made it easier for Dow to include the shares in its gauge.
This is because Dow&#8217;s price-weighted methodology is troublesome for technology companies that abstain from splits and have shares trading above $1,000.
A given percentage change in the price of a higher-priced stock has a greater impact on the price-weighted index&#8217;s value than does an equal percentage change in the price of a lower-priced stock. Put another way, higher-priced stocks have more weight in the calculation of a price-weighted index.
Thus, the investor preference for technology stocks lately could also be a reason for the fall in the Dow Jones.
"The DJIA hasn't reflected its original intent in decades. It is not really a reflection of industrial America," said Mitchell Goldberg, president of ClientFirst Strategies in a <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7274891748726693889/">LinkedIn post</a>. "Its losing streak is more of a reflection of how investors are gorging themselves on tech stocks."

Price Action: The Dow has gained 15.21% on a year-to-date basis, 11.88% in the last six months and just 0.14% over the last month.
The exchange-traded fund tracking the index, SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIA#NYSE">DIA</a>) grew by 15.51% on a year-to-date basis, 11.93% over the last six months and just 0.32% over the last month.
The losing streak comes as investors braced for the Federal Reserve&#8217;s interest rate decision due on Wednesday. While a 25-basis-point rate cut is largely expected, market participants are wary of potential signals from the Fed regarding a slowdown in the pace of future rate reductions in 2025.
However, despite the recent downturn, the blue-chip index has still managed to remain 1,500 points, or 3.5%, above its level on Election Day.

Grammarly Acquires Coda, Linkedin Co-Founder Reid Hoffman Applauds Move

Robinhood Markets Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>) announced a $2 million donation to President-elect Donald Trump&#8216;s inaugural fund on Tuesday, marking the largest publically announced contribution among major tech firms. 
What Happened: The donation, double the amount pledged by Meta Platforms Inc., Amazon.com Inc., and OpenAI, comes amid broader tech sector alignment with Trump&#8217;s proposed regulatory approach.
Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev criticized President Joe Biden&#8216;s administration&#8217;s &#8220;heavy-handed&#8221; regulatory stance, particularly regarding cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence. &#8220;There&#8217;s been open warfare against the cryptocurrency industry in America and a very anti-A.I. posture,&#8221; Tenev <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmomZFeBysQ">told</a> FOX Business.
The announcement follows significant developments in tech-political relations, including SoftBank Group Corp.&#8216;s commitment to invest $100 billion in U.S. technology over the next four years. SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son called Trump &#8220;a double down president&#8221; while announcing the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42513807/trump-says-softbanks-100b-commitment-to-us-is-monumental-demonstration-of-confidence-in-americas-future">investment at Mar-a-Lago</a>.
Robinhood reported a 500% month-over-month increase in crypto trading from October to November, highlighting the platform&#8217;s growth amid regulatory uncertainty. Tenev emphasized the need for &#8220;sensible regulation&#8221; to maintain U.S. leadership in financial innovation.

Why It Matters: The financial platform&#8217;s stance aligns with recent moves by other tech leaders. Apple Inc. CEO Tim Cook met with Trump at Mar-a-Lago, while Meta&#8217;s Mark Zuckerberg and Alphabet Inc.&#8216;s Sundar Pichai have also engaged with the president-elect.
Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk, set to co-lead the Department of Government Efficiency in Trump&#8217;s administration, has been a vocal supporter of regulatory reform that could benefit technology companies.
&#8220;The U.S. should embrace cryptocurrency and lead in this space, much like it does in artificial intelligence,&#8221; Tenev added, emphasizing the platform&#8217;s commitment to democratizing finance while maintaining regulatory compliance.
Price Action: Robinhood&#8217;s stock closed at $41.63 on Tuesday, down 3.63% for the day. In after-hours trading, the stock dipped slightly. Year-to-date, the stock has surged by 236.54%. 
The stock is trading near its 52-week high of $43.83, well above its 52-week low of $10.38. The company&#8217;s price-to-earnings ratio currently stands at 71.36, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) has restarted production of all airplane programs previously halted by a machinists&#8217; strike in the Pacific Northwest.
What Happened:&nbsp;The company confirmed that it resumed production of its popular 737 MAX jetliner earlier in December, following the conclusion of a seven-week strike involving 33,000 factory workers, Reuters&nbsp;reported on Wednesday.
Production of wide-body aircraft, including the 767 and 777/777X models, has resumed in Everett, Washington.&nbsp;Boeing Commercial Airplanes&nbsp;CEO&nbsp;Stephanie Pope&nbsp;announced the resumption on social media, emphasizing the importance of ensuring that manufacturing employees are up-to-date with training and certifications. She also mentioned optimizing inventory levels for smooth production.

Last week, Boeing reported delivering only 13 commercial jets in November, a significant drop from the 56 delivered in the same month the previous year. This decrease followed the production shutdown during the strike.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) plans to increase oversight as production resumes, with FAA head Mike Whitaker expressing satisfaction with Boeing&#8217;s cautious restart. Whitaker had previously limited 737 MAX production due to safety concerns.
Why It Matters: The resumption of Boeing&#8217;s production comes amid a challenging period for the aerospace giant. In November, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/travel/24/11/42014904/boeing-begins-layoffs-is-the-737-max-recovery-enough-to-lift-ba-stock">Boeing announced layoffs</a> affecting 17,000 employees, a move aimed at stabilizing its financial position.
These layoffs, representing 10% of the company&#8217;s global workforce, were part of a broader strategy to address financial difficulties, including inconsistent stock performance and production delays.

Boeing Restarts 767, 777 Aircraft Production As Machinists Strike Ends After 7 Weeks

Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) might need to undergo a costly and time-consuming update process to ward off the threat from quantum computing in the future, according to a Tuesday report that cited a study.
What Happened: The study, led by&nbsp;the University of Kent's School&nbsp;of Computing, estimated that a protocol update to protect Bitcoin from quantum computing threats would require taking the cryptocurrency offline for about 76 days provided 100% of the bandwidth is committed to the process, Forbes <a href="https://fortune.com/2024/12/17/bitcoin-downtime-update-quantum-computing-attack-study/">reported</a>.
However, if 25% of the bandwidth is allowed, which would allow users to continue mining and trading at a slower pace, the update would take nearly 305 days or 10 months.
See Also:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/12/42545829/mark-cuban-expresses-sympathy-for-hawk-tuah-girl-amid-meme-coin-controversy-wasnt-something-she-fully-understood">Mark Cuban Expresses Sympathy For &#8216;Hawk Tuah&#8217; Girl Amid Meme Coin Controversy: &#8216;Wasn&#8217;t Something She Fully Understood&#8217;</a>
In the scenario of 76 days of downtime, the update could cost around $912 million, the report estimated.
The more feasible 305-day downtime would lead to increased transaction fees and slower transaction confirmation times, leading to decreased market confidence.
The study found that Bitcoin had no other option but to replace the currently used cryptographic algorithm with the so-called "post-quantum" technology, which is immune to quantum attacks, and not doing so would be &#8220;devastating.&#8221;
Why It Matters: The increase in threat perception to Bitcoin&#8217;s encryption comes in the wake of Google&#8217;s new &#8220;Willow&#8221; quantum computing chip, which can <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42455205/will-googles-new-willow-chip-break-bitcoin-some-dismiss-it-as-fantasy-while-others-flag-risk-that-isnt-immediate">perform computations in five minutes</a> that would take supercomputers 10 septillion years to complete. 
However, some experts believe that the threat to Bitcoin&#8217;s security is still a distant one. Himanshu Maradiya, the CEO of CIFDAQ, a blockchain ecosystem company, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42420845/googles-quantum-willow-chip-lightyears-from-cracking-bitcoin-expert">stated that the chip was &#8220;lightyears away</a>&#8221; from breaking Bitcoin&#8217;s security.
Well-known technologist Jameson Lopp had <a href="https://x.com/lopp/status/1854437031767687613">said </a>earlier that the inviolable properties of Bitcoin would eventually be violated.

On Tuesday, Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) CEO Satya Nadella shared insights about the transformative impact of AI throughout 2024, with which Elon Musk agrees.
What Happened: Nadella posted a video on social media platforms like X, formerly Twitter and YouTube, in which he highlighted AI&#8217;s role in various sectors.
&#8220;At Microsoft, it&#8217;s never been about tech for tech&#8217;s sake, but it&#8217;s about translating innovation into real impact, one person, one organization, one community at a time,&#8221; he stated.
Nadella then noted that this year, AI has enabled cancer researchers to automate tasks, allowing them to concentrate on critical research. In Asia, aquafarmers have improved yields, while educators in the U.S. are realizing the dream of personal tutors for all students.

He expressed optimism about building on these advancements in the coming year, underscoring the era&#8217;s focus on using AI to unlock human potential.
In response to Nadella&#8217;s reflections, Musk simply replied, &#8220;True,&#8221; acknowledging the widespread influence of AI.

Why It Matters: The significance of AI&#8217;s impact in 2024 is underscored by the broader industry trends. Nvidia Corporation emerged as the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/11/41761849/nvidia-blows-past-apple-to-become-worlds-most-valuable-company">most valuable company</a> globally multiple times during the year.
However, predictions for 2025 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42319922/artificial-intelligence-ceo-backed-by-nvidia-alphabet-amazon-shares-2025-ai-predictions-including-robots-chemistry-and-more">suggest a potential shift</a>, with some companies possibly facing valuation cuts.
Earlier this month, Hugging Face CEO Clem Delangue shared bold AI predictions for 2025 foreseeing: the first major public protest sparked by AI, China taking the lead in AI innovation, and breakthroughs in AI applications for biology and chemistry, among others.
According to IDC forecasts, global spending on AI-enabling technology will reach $337 billion by 2025.
