Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) stock surged on Wednesday as the EV giant reported Q2 2025 delivery figures more or less in line with Wall Street estimates amid <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46087914/teslas-europe-sales-slide-for-5th-straight-month-elon-musk-led-ev-giants-market-share-shrinks-to-1-3">declining sales</a> and CEO Elon Musk's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46216023/after-trump-warns-elon-musk-to-close-up-shop-china-rallies-behind-worlds-richest-man-theres-no-need-to-keep-putting-up-with-it">feud with U.S. President</a> Donald Trump.
What Happened: Tesla delivered 384,122 vehicles in Q2, with the majority of the number coming from the Tesla Model 3 and the Model Y, according to a press release shared by the company on Wednesday.

Veteran investor Gary Black explained in a post on social media platform X on Wednesday what could've driven Tesla's better-than-estimated performance. "$TSLA now +4.3% on better than feared 2Q deliveries," he said in the post.
Black added that Tesla beat the 370k estimate predicted by him, "2Q was better than expected, led by refreshed Model Y delivs and strong quarter-end China deliveries," he said.
The investor noted that the strong delivery figures could lead to positive revisions in the company&#8217;s 2025 delivery estimates, "especially with the planned elimination of the $7,500 EV credit in Trump's tax and spending bill."

Why It Matters: The stock surge led by the figures could provide relief to Tesla, which has been grappling with poor sales in markets like Sweden and Norway, where sales <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46189042/elon-musk-led-teslas-european-woes-worsen-with-sales-down-over-60-in-sweden-and-denmark">declined more than 60%</a>.

The Pentagon said on Wednesday that U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities have degraded Iran&#8217;s nuclear program by up to two years, marking a significant escalation in the assessment of the military operation&#8217;s impact.
What Happened: Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell told reporters the official estimate was &#8220;probably closer to two years,&#8221; though he provided no evidence to support the assessment. &#8220;We have degraded their program by one to two years, at least intel assessments inside the Department (of Defense) assess that,&#8221; Parnell said.
The strikes occurred on June 22 when U.S. B-2 stealth bombers made by Northrop Grumman Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOC#NYSE">NOC</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46162332/iran-demands-us-guarantee-of-no-further-strikes-before-nuclear-talks-resume-are-we-going-to-see-a-repetition">targeted three Iranian nuclear facilities</a> at Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan.
The Pentagon&#8217;s assessment contradicts earlier leaked Defense Intelligence Agency estimates suggesting the strikes only delayed Iran&#8217;s program by months. Secretary of State Marco Rubio defended the operation&#8217;s effectiveness, saying the destruction of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46132996/marco-rubio-says-everything-under-the-mountains-is-in-bad-shape-rubbishes-claim-trump-strikes-only-bought-iran-time">Iran&#8217;s conversion facility at Esfahan was decisive</a>. &#8220;Everything underneath that mountain is in bad shape,&#8221; Rubio said.

Why It Matters: The strikes followed a 12-day Israel-Iran conflict that began June 13 when Israel targeted Iranian nuclear sites, claiming Tehran was close to building nuclear weapons. Iran responded with missile attacks <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46162332/iran-demands-us-guarantee-of-no-further-strikes-before-nuclear-talks-resume-are-we-going-to-see-a-repetition">before direct U.S. intervention</a>.
Central Intelligence Agency Director John Ratcliffe confirmed the strikes &#8220;severely damaged&#8221; Iran&#8217;s nuclear program, citing &#8220;credible evidence&#8221; of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46107752/trump-announces-iran-nuclear-talks-following-us-strikes-that-severely-damaged-iranian-nuclear-program">destroyed key facilities</a>. However, International Atomic Energy Agency head Rafael Grossi said Iran could restart uranium enrichment within &#8220;a matter of months.&#8221;
Markets responded positively to ceasefire prospects. Wedbush Securities analyst <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46162332/iran-demands-us-guarantee-of-no-further-strikes-before-nuclear-talks-resume-are-we-going-to-see-a-repetition">Dan Ives </a>called the Iran-Israel ceasefire &#8220;the most bullish outcome&#8221; for Wall Street, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46162332/iran-demands-us-guarantee-of-no-further-strikes-before-nuclear-talks-resume-are-we-going-to-see-a-repetition">predicting 2-3% gains for major indices</a>.
Iran&#8217;s Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takht-Ravanchi told the BBC that the U.S. must guarantee no additional military strikes before <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46162332/iran-demands-us-guarantee-of-no-further-strikes-before-nuclear-talks-resume-are-we-going-to-see-a-repetition">Tehran will resume nuclear negotiations</a>. Iranian Ambassador to the UN Amir-Saeid Iravani separately told CBS that uranium enrichment will &#8220;never stop,&#8221; citing it as an &#8220;inalienable right&#8221; under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

Datadog Stock Surges 11% After Hours After Making S&P 500 Debut

Shares of managed care provider Centene Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CNC#NYSE">CNC</a>) dropped over 40% on Wednesday, marking the worst single-day performance in the company's history.
Check out the current price of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CNC" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">CNC stock here.</a>
What Happened: On CNBC&#8217;s Mad Money, Jim Cramer referred to the collapse as &#8220;a huge hit,&#8221; resulting from a combination of factors such as weak Affordable Care Act enrollments, an actuarial report pointing to sicker patients, and the company&#8217;s decision to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/guidance/25/07/46209736/centene-withdraws-2025-guidance-shares-dive">pull its 2025 outlook</a>.
&#8220;Companies make forecasts, they&#8217;re supposed to try and beat them,&#8221; Cramer says, however, &#8220;they rarely pull them.&#8221;
According to Cramer, Centene disclosed data from an independent actuarial firm covering 22 of the 29 states where it operates ACA exchange plans.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/07/46195080/doj-dismantles-14-billion-healthcare-fraud-scheme-in-largest-ever-crackdown-impacting-over-1-million-americans">DOJ Dismantles $14 Billion Healthcare Fraud Scheme In Largest-Ever Crackdown, Impacting Over 1 Million Americans</a>
The findings showed that overall marketplace enrollment growth was lower than expected and that those who did enroll were in poorer health than projected, a combination that significantly affects the company's bottom line, thus prompting the company to pull its guidance.
As a result, the company now expects a $1.8 billion reduction in its projected risk adjustment revenue from the federal government. This drop is expected to slash its 2025 earnings by $2.75 per share.
&#8220;This is horrifying,&#8221; Cramer said, referring to the sharp revision in Centene&#8217;s EPS, from $7.25 per share projected earlier. &#8220;We&#8217;re talking about a 35% to 40% hit to their numbers,&#8221; Cramer says, &#8220;no wonder the stock was eviscerated.&#8221;
Why It Matters: Centene&#8217;s decision to withdraw its guidance, citing the independent actuarial report, led to a sector-wide selloff on Wednesday. 
All of Centene&#8217;s peers and competitors in the managed care business, such as Molina Healthcare Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MOH#NYSE">MOH</a>), Elevance Health Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ELV#NYSE">ELV</a>), UnitedHealth Group Inc.

Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) purist Willy Woo tied the leading cryptocurrency&#8217;s growth with global liquidity on Wednesday, stating that the more money printed, the larger it will become.
What Happened: In an X post, Woo said that out of all macro assets, Bitcoin is the &#8220;most sensitive&#8221; to global money supply. 
&#8220;Global liquidity = money printing. It&#8217;s a beautiful thing. The central banks print, the bigger BTC gets, fiat dies,&#8221; the analyst argued.

Neo, an X user, disputed the assertions, describing fiat currency as an &#8220;octopus with many tentacles.&#8221; The counter-argument was that fiat is resilient and can withstand financial crises.
&#8220;Fiat will blow up. Fiat exists to patch government overspending. That train doesn&#8217;t last forever,&#8221; Woo responded.

Woo&#8217;s tweet comes in the context of growing concerns over the U.S.&#8217;s national debt, which is said to exceed $175 trillion, according to Silicon Valley investor and economic commentator Balaji Srinivasan. Srinivasan recently stated that the U.S. is heading towards a national bankruptcy, with no possible solution to its debt crisis.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/07/46213919/elon-musk-is-100-correct-says-balaji-srinivasan-america-is-broke-and-there-is-no-fix-but-is-it-a-win-win-for-bitcoin">Benzinga</a>&nbsp;reported.
Why It Matters: Woo&#8217;s views align with those of other cryptocurrency market commentators like Anthony Pompliano, who projected Bitcoin to soar due to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/07/46188791/anthony-pompliano-says-bitcoin-to-reach-a-gazillion-driven-by-massive-money-printing-in-a-heated-economy">massive money printing</a>.
President Donald Trump&#8217;s &#8220;Big Beautiful Bill,&#8221; which is set to cause major fiscal expansion, has led several market analysts to point to Bitcoin <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/07/46227149/every-new-trillion-of-debt-in-trumps-big-beautiful-bill-is-free-adertising-for-bitcoin-expert-states">as a potential long-term beneficiary</a>, with every new trillion added to the debt being &#8220;free advertising&#8221; for the asset.

What Happened: Bitcoin rallied to an intraday high of $109,763.65 in the afternoon before profit-taking dragged it back to the $108,000 region.
The upsurge followed news that BlackRock&#8217;s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBIT#NASDAQ">IBIT</a>) is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/07/46228970/blackrocks-bitcoin-etf-surpasses-sp-500-etf-in-revenue-as-xrp-dogecoin-etf-approval-predicted-to-follow-soon">now generating more in fees</a> than its flagship S&amp;P 500 fund.
Bitcoin's spike rubbed off on the rest of the market, with Ethereum and altcoins surging significantly.
The upsurge resulted in over $250 million in bearish short positions getting erased in the last 24 hours.&nbsp;
Bitcoin&#8217;s open interest powered 8.71% in the last 24 hours to $74 billion, indicating high speculative interest. Interestingly, over 68% of Binance traders with open BTC positions continued to be short as of this writing.
The "Greed" sentiment intensified from 63 to 73 in the last 24 hours, according to the Crypto Fear &amp; Greed Index.

Analyst Notes: Blockchain analytics platform Santiment said Bitcoin's rally has sparked a FOMO on social media.
"Prices move opposite to retail traders&#8217; behavior, so don&#8217;t be surprised by a brief rally halt while greed is high," Santiment added.

BigBear.Ai, Rigetti Computing, Datadog, Oracle, And Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today (CORRECTED)

With Zohran Mamdani officially securing the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46087359/zohran-mamdani-leads-nyc-mayoral-primary-andrew-cuomo-concedes-race">Democratic nomination</a> in the New York City mayoral race, centrist figures within the Democratic party, such as former Treasury Secretary Jack Lew, are raising questions on the city&#8217;s future under a self-described Democratic Socialist.
What Happened: Appearing on The Master Investor podcast on Wednesday, Lew, who served in the Obama and Clinton administrations and was most recently U.S. ambassador to Israel under President Joe Biden, offered a sharp rebuke on Mamdani's policy platform.
He says, &#8220;I worry deeply,&#8221; calling New York City his home, where he&#8217;s spent most of his life, while adding that the policies outlined by Mamdani are not good for the city.

Open Their Wallets To Take Down Zohran Mamdani</a>
Lew suggests that he views Mamdani&#8217;s policies as impractical, drawing parallels between both far-left and far-right proposals. He says, populist policies from either side often skip a critical test, &#8220;[They] don't always go through the filter of, do they work? I don't think they work.&#8221;
He also noted that New York's mayoral powers are constrained. &#8220;New York is not an entirely independent governing entity. Many of the policies have to be approved by the state legislature or governor,&#8221; Lew said, suggesting that institutional checks may blunt the impact of any sweeping ideological shift.
Why It Matters: Last week, billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman echoed similar views, expressing &#8220;grave concern&#8221; on Mamdani&#8217;s victory. 
The CEO of Pershing Square Capital Management warned that Mamdani, an &#8220;avowed socialist,&#8221; would be &#8220;disastrous for NYC,&#8221; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46108561/bill-ackman-rips-chuck-schumer-over-zohran-mamdani-praise-calls-it-pathetic-warns-nyc-risks-10-billion-in-lost-wealth">triggering an exodus</a> of wealthy taxpayers, resulting in a $5 billion to $10 billion drop in the city&#8217;s revenues from the financial services industry alone.

Cameron Winklevoss, co-founder of cryptocurrency exchange&nbsp;Gemini, commented on Mamdani&#8217;s victory last week, saying, &#8220;It appears things will have to get worse in NYC before they get better,&#8221; adding that sometimes the only way to learn something &#8220;is to learn it the hard way.&#8221;
&#8220;It's what the people of NYC have been asking for for years and it looks like it's what they are about to get. Trying to fight against this tide seems like throwing good money after bad,&#8221; he says, while <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46108180/no-point-fighting-against-the-tide-by-opposing-zohran-mamdani-says-gemini-co-founder-cameron-winklevoss-things-will-have-to-get-worse-in-nyc-before-they-get-better">expressing his reluctance</a> to support a candidate against Mamdani.

Ex-Obama Treasury Secretary Jack Lew Sounds Alarm On NYC Under Zohran Mamdani: 'I Worry Deeply'

Robinhood Markets Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>) CEO Vlad Tenev clarified the nature of the company&#8217;s OpenAI token giveaway on Wednesday amid growing controversy about the nature of the equities.
What Happened:&nbsp;In an X post, Tenev talked about Robinhood&#8217;s recent crypto event, where it&nbsp;announced a limited &#8220;stock token&#8221;&nbsp;giveaway on OpenAI and SpaceX&nbsp;for eligible European customers. 
&#8220;While it is true that&nbsp;they aren't technically &#8216;equity&#8217;&#8230;&nbsp;the tokens effectively give retail&nbsp;investors exposure to these private&nbsp;assets,&#8221; Tenev stated.
He further added that the giveaway is a precursor to &#8220;something much bigger&#8221; and that many private companies have expressed interest in joining the &#8220;tokenization revolution&#8221; since the announcement.

Vlad Tenev Says OpenAI, SpaceX Tokens Not 'Technically' Equity After ChatGPT Parent Questions Giveaway, Robinhood CEO Calls It 'Seed' For Something Bigger

Podcast host Joe Rogan once told political commentator Matt Walsh that after the COVID-19 pandemic, he started questioning his long-held beliefs, including whether the U.S. actually <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/08/28410774/elon-musk-says-moon-landings-were-a-fluke-which-reached-into-the-future-3">landed on the moon</a>.
What Happened: "I used to believe in the moon landing," Rogan said. "After COVID, I'm like, I don't think we went to the moon." However, he added, "There is a less than zero possibility that we did not go."
Walsh responded, noting that the scale of deception needed to fake the Apollo missions would be immense. "It&#8217;s a lot more incredible to believe that we faked it than to believe that we just went .. to the moon."
The political commentator went on and said that pulling this off would require all of these American institutions to collude, while foreign adversaries like Russia would have to stay silent about it. "Why haven't the Russians come out and say all?"

Rogan, while not fully endorsing conspiracy theories, pointed to several lingering doubts. He cited the dangers of passing through the Van Allen radiation belts, the lack of any non-human biological organism surviving deep space and the fact that no other nation has replicated the feat.&nbsp;
Rogan remarked that it was strange that it had never been done again and found it odd that all the original footage was erased. He also referenced a post-flight press conference by the Apollo 11 crew, saying, "It looks like a hostage video."
Walsh acknowledged the strangeness of some elements but maintained there's "no evidence of a hoax," while there is at least some evidence of the moon landing — from moon rocks to laser reflectors and high-resolution lunar imagery.

Between 1969 and 1972, six missions successfully landed astronauts on the lunar surface, beginning with Apollo 11 and Neil Armstrong's famous first steps.
Humans last <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/08/34002750/india-makes-history-with-flawless-moon-landing-brightens-path-for-us-artemis-lunar-mission">walked on the Moon</a> during Apollo 17 in 1972 and no missions have sent a crew beyond low-Earth orbit since then.
Previously, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk described the 1969 Apollo 11 Moon landing as an "anomalous situation," saying it was like pulling future technology forward because it didn't follow the natural pace of technological progress. He noted the mission happened because the U.S. was determined to win the space race with the Soviet Union.

Joe Rogan Once Said He Started Doubting The Apollo Missions After COVID-19, Compared Post-Flight Press Conference To A 'Hostage Video'

President Donald Trump has publicly demanded the resignation of&nbsp;Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. This call comes in the wake of accusations from the&nbsp;Federal Housing Finance Agency Director, alleging that Powell provided misleading testimony.
What Happened: Trump voiced his demand for Powell&#8217;s resignation on Wednesday via a post on Truth Social, first <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5382677-trump-calls-powell-resignation/">noted</a> on The Hill.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="601" height="226" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/02202041/Screenshot-2025-07-03-at-9.20.23.png" alt="" class="wp-image-971172" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/02202041/Screenshot-2025-07-03-at-9.20.23.png 601w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/02202041/Screenshot-2025-07-03-at-9.20.23-300x113.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 601px) 100vw, 601px" /></figure>

The call for resignation followed accusations from Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte, a critic of Powell, who claimed that Powell had provided false information during a Senate Banking Committee testimony.
Pulte alleges that Powell lied about the specifics of renovations at the Federal Reserve&#8217;s Washington, D.C. headquarters, particularly a supposed $2.5 billion renovation plan. Powell had previously stated that extravagant features&nbsp;were part of older plans&nbsp;and have since been discarded, while other costs, such as elevator repairs and marble fixtures, were for basic maintenance.

Pulte argued that Powell&#8217;s &#8220;deceptive&#8221; testimony was grounds for dismissal. Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio),&nbsp;chair of the House Judiciary&nbsp;Committee, confirmed that lawmakers will consider calls to investigate Powell, according to the report.
Trump, who appointed Powell in 2017, has been critical of the Federal Reserve Chair for some time, even giving him the nickname &#8220;Too Late&#8221; in response to the Fed&#8217;s decision to maintain steady interest rates.
Why It Matters: This is not the first time Trump has criticized Powell. Last month, Trump accused Powell of keeping interest rates &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46165110/donald-trump-calls-fed-chair-jerome-powell-a-bad-person-who-keeps-rates-artificially-high-says-benchmark-should-drop-by-half">artificially high</a>.&#8221;
On Wednesday, Ed Yardeni, president of Yardeni Research, suggested that Trump&#8217;s criticism of Powell was a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46213361/trump-is-slamming-jerome-powell-because-he-wants-a-weaker-dollar-says-ed-yardeni-pounding-powell-pounding-the-dollar">strategic move</a> to weaken the U.S. dollar. 
Earlier, Powell indicated&nbsp;that Trump&#8217;s tariff strategy had <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/07/46213909/jerome-powell-says-trumps-tariffs-deterred-fed-from-easing-monetary-policy-july-decision-to-depend-on-data-wouldnt-take-any-meeting-off-the-table">deterred the Federal Reserve</a> from implementing a more lenient monetary policy.

Carnival CEO Josh Weinstein <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/lifestyle/cruise-giants-building-own-private-paradise-islands-jaw-dropping-features">told</a> Fox Business on June 24 that Celebration Key was &#8220;already one of the most searched-out cruise destinations on Google&#8221; ahead of its debut.
"We've built five portals all over this destination so that we can accommodate different needs for different guests,&#8221; he said. &#8220;We have a family zone, we have an adult zone, we have a private beach club and more,&#8221; Weinstein said.&nbsp;
Carnival also has plans to renovate its Relax Away, Half Moon Cay private island and expansions are planned for its Mahogany Bay destination in Honduras next year.

Carnival's Wild New Private Resort Makes Waves With Huge Swim-Up Bar, Giant Sandcastle

E-commerce giant Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) has<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/reiteration/25/06/45820714/amazon-eyes-7-billion-in-savings-by-2032-with-robots-and-ai-powering-delivery-and-fulfillment-analyst"> invested in robots </a>over the years to help make its warehouses and facilities more efficient. The company is celebrating a robotics milestone alongside a new generative AI model.
What Happened: Amazon recently celebrated its one millionth robot in operations, a significant new milestone hit since 750,000<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/04/38202793/amazon-grows-to-over-750-000-robots-as-worlds-second-largest-private-employer-replaces-over-100-000"> in early 2024.</a>
Along with the milestone, Amazon also announced its new generative AI foundation model that will improve robot fleet travel efficiency by 10%. The company said the new technology will support faster delivery times and lower costs for customers.
"We've just deployed our 1 millionth robot, building on our position as the world's largest manufacturer and operator of mobile robotics," Amazon Robotics Vice President Scott Dresser said in a post.
Dresser said the new generative AI technology called DeepFleet makes robots smarter.
"Think of DeepFleet as an intelligent traffic management system for a city filled with cars moving through congested streets."

Why It's Important: In the blog post celebrating the milestone, Dresser highlighted the ongoing journey of Amazon's robots, which started in 2012 with a single type of robot that could move inventory shelves.
"Today, we operate a diverse fleet of robots, designed to make our employees' jobs easier and safer, and our operations more efficient," Dresser said.
Dresser highlighted the company's Hercules robot, which can lift up to 1,250 pounds of inventory, and the company's Proteus fully autonomous mobile robot that can safely navigate around employees.
While the one million robots milestone could spark worry that the 1.5 million Amazon human employees could someday be replaced, Dresser highlights how the two work hand in hand and there are opportunities for employees.
Dresser said since 2019, over 700,000 employees have been upskilled with training initiatives through robotics.
The Amazon Robotics Vice President said the company's new fulfillment center in Louisiana, launched late 2024, requires 30% more employees in various roles.
"The technology we're building does more than move products — it's transforming workplace safety and creating new career opportunities."
Amazon currently has around 1.5 million human employees worldwide, a total that could someday be surpassed by robots, given Amazon's impressive technology advancements pace.
"The combination of our million-robot milestone and DeepFleet points to an exciting future where robotics and AI work together to reimagine what's possible in fulfilment and delivery."
Amazon acquired robotic company Kiva Systems in 2012 for $775 million. Kiva changed its name to Amazon Robotics in 2015 and has been a large focus of the e-commerce company since then.
While other tech companies are laying off workers due to the advancement of AI, Amazon is as of right now creating opportunities for workers to work alongside robots and the latest AI technology, as long as they are willing to learn and take part in programs that teach them the latest technologies.
