An endorsement of Donald Trump by Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk angered some existing owners of vehicles made by the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41501607/tesla-q3-earnings-highlights-eps-beat-revenue-miss-shares-climb-on-2025-timeline-for-lower-cost-evs">electric vehicle company</a>.
People who are embarrassed to be driving Tesla vehicles after the 2024 election are buying bumper stickers to show their anger of the Trump endorsement.
What Happened: Tesla owners may <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39804113/exclusive-elon-musk-is-burning-his-own-blue-bridges-by-donating-to-trump-says-market-expert">disagree with Musk</a> many times throughout the year, whether it's his posts on X, views on cryptocurrency or his recent increased political campaigning and funding.
The endorsement of Trump in the 2024 election may have been the final straw for some Tesla owners. While some Tesla owners may decide to sell their vehicle in protest and get a different vehicle, some are likely to keep the vehicle due to Tesla's advanced technology.
Those who love their Tesla vehicles, but are mad at Musk have turned to a solution of plastering anti-Elon Musk bumper stickers on their vehicle.
Matthew Hiller of Hawaii has a sticker business <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/MadPufferStickers">called </a>Mad Puffer Stickers on Etsy (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ETSY#NASDAQ">ETSY</a>) that has been among the places where Tesla owners are turning after the election.
Hiller shared with <a href="https://heatmap.news/electric-vehicles/anti-elon-bumper-sticker-tesla">Heatmap </a>that the sticker business is his side hustle to a full-time job at an aquarium. As a fan of making fish stickers and other designs, Hiller used his personal experience of wanting to buy a Tesla in early 2023, but not agreeing with everything Musk stood for.
"When he bought Twitter, he started extreme censoring of information, taking verification marks off The New York Times and things like that to sow discontent, disinformation, and push his agenda. And it was ugly," Hiller said.
Hiller realized that there were likely many people who were now embarrassed to be driving their Teslas around.
"So I made the fist sticker, which said, ‘I bought this before we knew Elon was crazy.'"
Hiller printed up a small run and after a slow initial time to see some sales, the stickers went viral a couple of times. Eventually Hiller was selling five to seven stickers a day and some days he would sell 50 because of a picture going viral.
"And now, at this point, it's gone insane."
Hiller told Heatmap his sales have been "unbelievable" since the 2024 election.
After the election, Hiller said he sold between 250 and 300 in one day and said the sales have "been steady ever since."
"I can barely keep up."
You may not be a billionaire like Elon Musk, but you can uncover hidden gems in the stock market using our proprietary data and pattern recognition — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/10/41187322/benzingas-stock-whisper-index-5-stocks-investors-secretly-monitor-but-dont-talk-about-yet">check out five </a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/space/24/11/42013739/benzingas-stock-whisper-index-5-stocks-investors-secretly-monitor-but-dont-talk-about-yet-43">stocks </a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/10/41187322/benzingas-stock-whisper-index-5-stocks-investors-secretly-monitor-but-dont-talk-about-yet">flying under the radar that deserve your attention.</a>
The sticker entrepreneur said he can barely keep up with the momentum and comes home from the aquarium to start packing stickers until night.
Hiller estimates that he's sold around 10,000 stickers since he started on Etsy and he is currently selling around 180 total stickers per day, a total that doesn't just include anti-Elon Musk stickers.
The most popular sticker sold by Hiller is the "I bought this before we knew Elon was crazy," which he said is by far the top seller. &nbsp;
Along with being a popular seller on Etsy, the anti-Musk bumper stickers are also among the top sellers on <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Tesla-Bumper-Sticker-Bought-Accessories/dp/B0C4KHKN4S/ref=zg_bs_g_268880011_d_sccl_3/142-4678181-8008934?psc=1">Amazon </a>with Hiller's most popular design ranked among the top five bumper stickers on the e-commerce site, sometimes hitting number one in the category.
"That's insane. People hate Elon more than they love Trump or Kamala?" Hiller added.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Man Sentenced To 12 ½ Years For Bitcoin Money Laundering On The Darknet&nbsp;</h2>
Roman Sterlingov was sentenced <a href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/bitcoin-fog-operator-sentenced-money-laundering-conspiracy">last Friday</a> to 12 years and six months in prison for his operation of the longest-running Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) money laundering service on the darknet. 
Sterlingov was also ordered to pay a forfeiture money judgment in the amount of $395,563,025.39 and forfeiture of seized cryptocurrencies and monetary assets valued at approximately $1.76 million. Additionally, he was ordered to forfeit his interest in the Bitcoin Fog wallet, totaling approximately 1,345 bitcoin and currently valued at more than $103 million.

According to court documents and evidence presented at trial, from 2011 through 2021, Sterlingov was involved in operating Bitcoin Fog, the darknet's longest-running cryptocurrency "mixer." Bitcoin Fog became known as a money laundering service for criminals and processed transactions involving over 1.2 million bitcoin, valued at approximately $400 million at the time the transactions occurred.&nbsp;
"Roman Sterlingov ran the longest-running bitcoin money laundering service on the darknet, and today he paid the price," said Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco.&nbsp;
"In the deepest corners of the internet, he provided a home for criminals of all stripes, from drug traffickers to identity thieves, to store hundreds of millions of dollars in illicit proceeds," Monaco said.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Man Pleads Guilty To Conspiracy To Launder Cryptocurrency Scam Proceeds</h2>
Daren Li, a dual citizen of China and St. Kitts and Nevis, pleaded guilty <a href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/foreign-national-pleads-guilty-laundering-millions-proceeds-cryptocurrency-investment-scams">on Tuesday </a>to one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering for his role in a scheme to launder millions of dollars in proceeds of cryptocurrency investment scams.
According to court documents, Li admitted that he conspired with others to launder funds obtained from victims through cryptocurrency scams and related fraud. Li instructed co-conspirators to open U.S. bank accounts on behalf of shell companies and would then monitor the receipt interstate and international wire transfers of victim funds.&nbsp;

Li and his co-conspirators received victim funds in financial accounts they controlled, and then monitor the conversion of victim funds to virtual currency, specifically Tether (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDT</a>), and the eventual distribution of the virtual currency to cryptocurrency wallets controlled by Li and his co-conspirators.
"Financial criminals and the money launderers who enable them wreak untold harm, ruining lives in the process," said United States Attorney Martin Estrada for the Central District of California.&nbsp;
"Investors should be diligent and on guard against anyone offering quick riches via new, exotic investments. A healthy dose of skepticism could prevent financial ruin down the road," Estrada said.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">SEC Charges Invesco Advisers For Misleading Statements About ESG Investments</h2>
Last Friday, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) charged Invesco Advisers, Inc. for making <a href="https://www.sec.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2024-179">misleading statements</a> about the percentage of company-wide assets under management that integrated environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors in investment decisions.&nbsp;
According to the SEC's order, from 2020 to 2022, Invesco told clients and stated in marketing materials that between 70% and 94% of its parent company's assets under management were "ESG integrated." However, these percentages included a substantial amount of assets that were held in passive ETFs that did not consider ESG factors in investment decisions. The SEC's order also found that Invesco lacked any written policy defining ESG integration.
"As stated in the order, Invesco saw commercial value in claiming that a high percentage of company-wide assets were ESG integrated. But saying it doesn't make it so," said Sanjay Wadhwa, Acting Director of the SEC's Division of Enforcement.&nbsp;
"Companies should be straightforward with their clients and investors rather than seeking to capitalize on investing trends and buzzwords," Wadhwa added.&nbsp;
Invesco agreed to cease and desist from violations of the charged provisions, be censured and pay a $17.5 million civil penalty to settle the SEC's charges.&nbsp;

Sean Parker, the Napster co-founder and Facebook's (now called Meta Platforms) first president, has reached $3 billion in net worth, as <a href="https://www.forbes.com/profile/sean-parker/">per</a> Forbes.
A teenage hacker turned billionaire entrepreneur, Parker's career spans revolutionary tech ventures, philanthropy, and political donations.
A defining quote from him encapsulates his entrepreneurial mindset: &#8220;Your biggest challenge as an entrepreneur is not concealing your idea from others or keeping your idea secret. It's actually convincing people that you're not crazy and that you can pull it off.&#8221;
Here&#8217;s a look at his journey:
Early Days: From Hacker To Napster
Born in Herndon, Virginia, Parker's journey began with hacking. By his teenage years, he had broken into systems of universities and Fortune 500 companies, though this led to community service after an FBI investigation.&nbsp;
At 19, he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/12/06/2644261/facebook-and-napster-men-to-launch-airtime">co-founded Napster with</a> Shawn Fanning in 1999, a file-sharing platform that revolutionized music consumption. Despite its eventual shutdown after lawsuits, Napster cemented Parker's reputation as a tech innovator.

Facebook And Beyond
In 2004, Parker <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/17/11/10754929/sean-parker-on-social-media-god-only-knows-what-its-doing-to-our-childrens-brai">joined Facebook as its first president</a> at age 24. He was pivotal in securing early investments and shaping the platform's trajectory.
Parker's early 4% stake in Facebook skyrocketed in value after the company's IPO in 2012, solidifying his financial standing.
Despite stepping down in 2005 following a controversial arrest, Parker's influence on Facebook persisted.
Beyond Facebook, Parker's investments have been instrumental in maintaining his fortune. In 2010, he invested $15 million in a 5% stake in Spotify Inc. and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41137657/spotify-ceo-daniel-ek-says-he-stays-away-from-sports-competition-with-facebook-co-founder-mark-zucke">served on its board until 2017</a>.
Earlier this year in June, he joined Stability AI, a generative AI company, as executive board chairman, signaling his continued belief in transformative technologies.
Philanthropy And Political Impact
Now 44, Parker channels his wealth into philanthropy and politics. In 2015, he launched the Parker Foundation with $600 million to support life sciences, global health, and civic engagement.
Notable initiatives include the Parker Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy and funding for allergy research at Stanford.
Politically, Parker has donated millions to candidates across party lines and played a key role in the Opportunity Zones provision of the 2017 Jobs Act to boost investment in underprivileged U.S. communities.
Lavish Lifestyle And Cultural Impact
Parker is known for his extravagant lifestyle, including properties worth over $100 million, and his Tolkien-themed wedding in 2013, which cost $4.5 million.
Despite criticism over its ecological impact, the event underscored his penchant for luxury.
Hollywood also immortalized Parker's influence. Justin Timberlake portrayed him in "The Social Network," though Parker dismissed the character as a fictional exaggeration.

Sean Parker's Net Worth Touches $3B: From Launching Napster To Becoming Facebook Billionaire, The Story Of Teenage Hacker Turned Entrepreneur

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has responded to Elon Musk's ongoing criticism of OpenAI&#8217;s ChatGPT's alleged left-wing bias, specifically in the context of the billionaire&#8217;s own AI chatbot, Grok.
What Happened: On Friday, Altman took to X, formerly Twitter, to refute Musk&#8217;s claims of political bias in ChatGPT.
He compared the responses of&nbsp;ChatGPT and Musk&#8217;s AI chatbot,&nbsp;Grok, to a political query, subtly challenging Musk&#8217;s accusations. &#8220;Which&nbsp;one is supposed to be&nbsp;the left-wing propaganda machine again?&#8221;&nbsp;Altman wrote.
The OpenAI CEO then underscored the neutrality of ChatGPT, stating, &#8220;We&nbsp;are proud of how consistently&nbsp;ChatGPT scores as the least biased AI in evals.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Musk co-founded OpenAI with&nbsp;Altman and Greg Brockman in&nbsp;2015 but left&nbsp;in 2018 due to disagreement over the company&#8217;s direction.
The tech mogul has since&nbsp;filed a lawsuit against OpenAI,&nbsp;accusing it of prioritizing commercial interests over public good and&nbsp;attempting to undermine competitors like&nbsp;his own company xAI.
In September earlier this year, Musk expressed his displeasure over&nbsp;reports about <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41039287/elon-musk-isnt-pleased-that-sam-altman-likely-to-get-7-stake-after-chatgpt-parents-planned-for-profi">OpenAI&#8217;s transition to a for-profit entity</a>, which could potentially give Altman a 7% stake in the company.
Despite their strained relationship, Altman acknowledged Musk&#8217;s early contribution to <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">OpenAI in an interview</a> earlier this month. The OpenAI CEO called Musk&#8217;s early contribution &#8220;very helpful.&#8221;
OpenAI&#8217;s valuation soared to $157 billion in October, following a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41149788/openai-valuation-soars-to-157b-in-latest-funding-round">funding round</a> that secured more than $6.5 billion. Meanwhile, Musk&#8217;s xAI fetched a $24 billion valuation in May after securing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/39025708/elon-musk-cheers-funding-after-xai-secures-6b-from-sequoia-andreessen-horowitz-saudi-prince-alwaleed">$6 billion in a funding round</a>.

OpenAI Co-Founders, Now Rivals Sam Altman And Elon Musk Clash Over ChatGPT And xAI's Grok Chatbots Again

Jake Paul, a YouTuber-turned-boxer, defeated boxing legend Mike Tyson in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/42017511/netflix-streams-mike-tyson-vs-jake-paul-the-fight-everyones-talking-about">first live boxing event</a> hosted by Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>).
What Happened: The event took place at the AT&amp;T&nbsp;Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on&nbsp;Friday, where Paul, 27, won over 58-year-old Tyson&nbsp;in an eight-round heavyweight match&nbsp;via unanimous decision.
The match,&nbsp;sanctioned by the Texas Department&nbsp;of Licensing and Regulation, saw both fighters wearing 14-ounce gloves, a deviation from the standard 10-ounce gloves typically used in heavyweight fights.
The judges&#8217; scores were overwhelmingly in Paul&#8217;s favor, with tallies of 80-72, 79-73, and 79-73.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/41963342/elizabeth-warrens-sarcastic-take-on-doges-split-leadership-gets-slammed-by-elon-musk-unlike-you-neither-of-us-are-being-paid?itm_source=parsely-api" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Elizabeth Warren&#8217;s Sarcastic Take On DOGE&#8217;s Split Leadership Gets Slammed By Elon Musk</a>
The fight was initially scheduled for July 20 but was postponed due to Tyson requiring medical attention&nbsp;for an ulcer flareup.
Tyson last competed professionally in 2005 but returned to the ring in a notable exhibition bout against Roy Jones Jr. in 2020, which concluded in a split draw.
Tensions escalated during the weigh-in when Tyson struck Paul.
Why It Matters: This event is a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/42017511/netflix-streams-mike-tyson-vs-jake-paul-the-fight-everyones-talking-about">significant milestone for Netflix</a> in its endeavor to expand into live sports content, supplementing its existing portfolio of&nbsp;live comedy stand-ups, award shows,&nbsp;and special events.
The streaming giant currently has over 282 million global paid subscribers, with its ad-supported plan recently reaching 70 million subscribers.
Last month, Netflix reported strong third-quarter financial results. The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41391637/netflix-q3-earnings-revenue-beats-eps-tops-q4-guidance-projects-subscriber-boost-from-squid-game-nf">company&#8217;s revenue was $9.825 billion</a>, a 15% increase year-over-year, beating the Street consensus estimate of $9.769 billion.
This successful foray into live sports content could potentially boost Netflix&#8217;s subscriber base and revenue in the future.
Price Action: Netflix shares ended Friday's trading session down 1.57%, closing at $823.96. In after-hours trading, the stock edged up slightly to $825.50 as of this writing, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

The analyst also highlighted opportunities in other altcoins, advising traders to watch for entry points in these digital assets in the coming weeks.
Van de Poppe&#8217;s strategy for the near future involves buying dips, with altcoins expected to see significant breakouts.
He recommended maximizing potential gains by purchasing altcoins during 20-50% dips, allowing traders to capitalize on anticipated market movements in the cryptocurrency sector.
Why It Matters: The cryptocurrency market has been experiencing fluctuations, with recent events adding complexity to the trading landscape. Earlier this week, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/11/41998395/bitcoin-ethereum-dogecoin-take-a-u-turn-as-jerome-powells-statements-dampen-rate-cut-expectations-analytics-firm-explains-why-btc-bull-market-has-not-yet-ended">Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell&#8217;s remarks</a> dampened hopes for rate cuts, causing Bitcoin to dip below $88,000 after initially surpassing $91,000. Ethereum also saw a decline, dropping from $3,240 to $3,040.
Despite these setbacks, optimism remains. On November 15, Ark Invest's Cathie Wood projected Bitcoin&#8217;s price <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42019038/bitcoin-to-hit-up-to-1-5-million-by-2030-says-cathie-wood">could reach up to $1.5 million</a> by 2030, citing regulatory relief and growing institutional interest.
Additionally, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/41930918/trumps-high-inflation-regime-will-weaken-the-dollar-and-push-bitcoin-to-1m-says-arthur-hayes-get-long-and-stay-long">Arthur Hayes</a> suggested that policies under President-elect Donald Trump might weaken the dollar, boosting Bitcoin&#8217;s value.

Michael Van De Poppe Says Bitcoin, Ethereum And Altcoins Close To The Point Where Investors Can 'Buy The Dip'

Cathie Wood, CEO of ARK Invest, has publicly backed Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) Elon Musk's appointment to lead the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/department-of-government-efficiency">Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)</a>.
What Happened:&nbsp;In an <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/video/2024/11/15/watch-cnbcs-full-interview-with-ark-invest-ceo-cathie-wood.html">interview</a> with CNBC on Friday, Wood said that Musk's understanding of technology and data will be key in his new role at DOGE.
DOGE, named after the cryptocurrency Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>), aims to minimize waste, eliminate unnecessary regulations, and reorganize agencies to enhance efficiency.
See Also:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42010539/whats-going-on-with-palantir-technologies-stock-today?itm_source=parsely-api" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">What&#8217;s Going On With Palantir Technologies Stock Today?</a>
Wood stated that Musk's companies, including X, formerly Twitter, Neuralink, and SpaceX, gather vast amounts of data, putting him in a unique position to improve government operations.
&#8220;The way we're looking at this is, Elon understands we are at the threshold of a convergence among many technologies,&#8221; she stated.
Adding, &#8220;AI being at the center of it, and proprietary data is winning. So he has more proprietary data from all of these companies than I think any other CEO.&#8221;
Musk, who was appointed by President-elect Donald Trump, will spearhead the commission aimed at reducing the U.S. federal budget, to cut up to $2 trillion.
Vivek Ramaswamy, a former Republican primary candidate, will co-direct the group with Musk.
Why It Matters:&nbsp;On Thursday, the official X, formerly Twitter, account of DOGE called for high-IQ candidates willing to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41998717/elon-musk-and-vivek-ramaswamy-are-looking-for-high-iq-small-government-revolutionaries-who-are-willing-to-put-in-80-hours-at-doge">work 80+ hours a week</a> to streamline government spending and cut bureaucracy.
This criterion is similar to Musk's well-known 2022 late-night email to Twitter employees, where he encouraged them to be "extremely hardcore" and commit to "long hours at high intensity."
However, analysts have warned that Musk&#8217;s efficiency plans should not be underestimated, but it will <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41961033/gene-munster-says-elon-musks-doge-efficiency-plans-should-not-be-underestimated-but-warns-itll-likely-take-many-years-to-achieve-2-trillion-in-government-spending">likely take many years</a> to achieve $2 trillion in government spending cuts.
Trump has previously stated that the work of the DOGE department is expected to be completed by July 4, 2026, at the latest.
Price Action: Dogecoin is currently priced at $0.378, reflecting a 4.14% rise in the last 24 hours. However, its trading volume has dropped by 37.06%, reaching $10.12 billion as of this writing.
Tesla shares closed Friday's trading up 3.07%, ending at $320.72. In after-hours trading, the stock saw a slight increase, reaching $320.74 at the time of writing, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Cathie Wood Backs Elon Musk's $2 Trillion DOGE Initiative, Says Tesla CEO's Access To 'Proprietary Data' And AI Gives Him An Edge

The United States has agreed to provide up to $6.6 billion in direct funding to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) to build advanced chip facilities in the U.S.
The deal aims to enhance domestic semiconductor production and bolster national security by reducing reliance on foreign suppliers, Barron's <a target="_blank" href="https://www.barrons.com/news/us-finalizes-up-to-6-6-bn-funding-for-chip-giant-tsmc-65252814" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.
The Biden administration announced that Taiwan Semiconductor's investment will attract $65 billion in private capital to establish three state-of-the-art plants in Arizona.

</ul>
The announcement comes just before President-elect Donald Trump assumes office. Trump had previously attacked Taiwan for allegedly undermining the U.S. chip industry and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/11/41845483/taiwan-semiconductor-us-expansion-plans-unfazed-by-trump-win-report" rel="noreferrer noopener">criticized the U.S. Chips Act</a>.
The first of Taiwan Semiconductor's facilities will likely commence operations by early 2025, focusing on producing cutting-edge logic chips. These chips will power next-generation technologies, including 5G/6G smartphones, autonomous vehicles, and AI applications.
Early production at the Arizona plant reportedly matches the quality of Taiwan Semiconductor's facilities in Taiwan, showcasing <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/10/41545709/usa-scores-big-win-taiwan-semiconductor-arizona-plant-sees-good-production-yields" rel="noreferrer noopener">strong initial yields</a>.
Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo told Barron's the importance of manufacturing these advanced chips domestically, emphasizing their role in AI, quantum computing, and military hardware.
The initiative aims to mitigate risks associated with overseas supply chains by producing these chips on U.S. soil, addressing a critical national security concern.

In addition to the direct funding, the U.S. government is extending up to $5 billion in proposed loans to support Taiwan Semiconductor's Arizona project.
The investment will likely generate approximately 6,000 direct manufacturing jobs. A senior U.S. official told Barron's that at least $1 billion of the allocated funding could be distributed to Taiwan Semiconductor this year, contingent on meeting specific milestones.
Meanwhile, Taiwan Semiconductor remains focused on consolidating its moat while diversifying its footprint beyond Taiwan as global governments dole out attractive subsidies.
The contract chipmaker has <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/emerging-markets/24/11/41951575/taiwan-semi-boosts-advanced-chipmaking-with-record-euv-expansion-grabs-56-global-share" rel="noreferrer noopener">ramped up its</a> deployment of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography systems, a vital technology in semiconductor production, even with the substantial expense involved.
Each EUV machine costs more than $100 million, making them some of the most costly assets in the chip manufacturing sector.
Industry analysts suggest that TSMC has significantly boosted its EUV capacity, increasing its share of global EUV installations from 50% in 2020 to 56% by 2023.
In Asia, Japan has also earmarked over $64.9 billion to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/11/41939018/japan-increases-semiconductor-funding-as-us-trade-policies-pressure-taiwan-semiconductor" rel="noreferrer noopener">boost the semiconductor and AI</a> sectors. Taiwan Semiconductor is eyeing a second facility in Japan's Kumamoto region, considering a $13.5 billion investment after its first $8.6 billion wafer factory there.
Additionally, the company intends to establish a third advanced chip plant valued at $20 billion in Kumamoto to produce 3-nanometer chips.
Taiwan Semiconductor stock is up 86% year-to-date.
Price Actions: TSM stock is down -2.57% at $186.01 at the last check on Friday.

Plant-Based API Market Poised To Hit $52 Billion By 2034, Driven By Psychedelics And Cannabinoids

SpaceX, under the leadership of Elon Musk, is reportedly preparing to initiate a tender offer next month.
What Happened: SpaceX's tender offer will allow the sale of existing shares at $135 each, valuing the company at over $250 billion, as reported by Reuters.
Musk&#8217;s ambition for human Mars exploration could become a national priority under Trump&#8217;s administration. The NASA Artemis program, which intends to use SpaceX&#8217;s Starship for lunar missions as a precursor to Mars expeditions, is anticipated to shift focus towards Mars with uncrewed missions targeted this decade.
SpaceX might push for relaxed regulations on worker and participant safety in private space flights under Trump&#8217;s presidency.
An investigation last year revealed over 600 worker injuries at SpaceX facilities, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38374353/elon-musks-spacex-injury-rates-exceed-industry-average-again-raising-concerns-for-nasa-and-clients-r">exceeding the industry average</a>, raising concerns about the company&#8217;s adherence to safety standards.

Why It Matters: SpaceX&#8217;s valuation has seen a significant increase over the past year. In June, the company was reportedly set for a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39516906/elon-musks-spacex-set-for-record-210b-valuation-in-tender-offer-but-still-valued-less-than-tiktok-re">record $210 billion</a> valuation in a tender offer, surpassing its previous $200 billion estimate. This was driven by substantial investor demand.
However, Musk has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39519229/elon-musk-dismisses-rumors-of-spacex-ipo-as-it-reportedly-seeks-210b-valuation-pressure-for-short-te">previously dismissed</a> the possibility of a SpaceX initial public offering (IPO), citing the intense pressure for short-term results faced by publicly listed companies.
SpaceX&#8217;s dominance in the space sector is further highlighted by its control over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40869627/elon-musk-now-controls-two-thirds-of-the-planets-satellites-and-spacex-is-just-getting-started-with">two-thirds of the planet&#8217;s satellites</a>, thanks to the rapid expansion of its Starlink satellite network.

What Happened: T-Mobile&#8217;s network was compromised in a large-scale cyber-espionage operation attributed to Chinese hackers, according to a <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/national-security/t-mobile-hacked-in-massive-chinese-breach-of-telecom-networks-4b2d7f92">report</a> by The Wall Street Journal.
This breach, which also affected other U.S. and international telecom companies, targeted cellphone communications of high-value intelligence targets.
The extent of the data compromised from T-Mobile customers remains uncertain.
"T-Mobile systems and data have not been impacted in any significant way, and we have no evidence of impacts to customer information," said a T-Mobile spokesperson, according to the report.

The breach, linked to the Salt Typhoon group, is considered historic in its scope and severity by some U.S. officials. AT&amp;T, Verizon, and Lumen Technologies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUMN#NYSE">LUMN</a>) were also reportedly affected.
Hackers exploited vulnerabilities in Cisco Systems routers and possibly used AI or machine learning to enhance their operations, accessing cellphone lines of senior U.S. government and political figures.

Why It Matters: This breach is part of a series of cyberattacks attributed to Chinese hackers, raising alarms about national security.
In April, FBI Director Christopher Wray warned about <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38330156/fbi-chief-warns-xi-jinpings-ccp-linked-chinese-hackers-are-planning-to-physically-wreak-havoc-on-us">China&#8217;s potential to disrupt U.S. infrastructure</a>, highlighting the targeting of sectors like telecommunications, energy, and water.
In May, a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38659657/major-hacking-incident-exposes-data-of-military-personnel-in-uk-ministry-of-defence-breach-is-china">major hacking incident</a> exposed data of U.K. military personnel, with China suspected as the perpetrator.
The recent breach of T-Mobile and other telecom giants underscores the ongoing threat posed by state-sponsored cyber-espionage, emphasizing the need for heightened cybersecurity measures.

T-Mobile Hit By Chinese Hackers After Rivals AT&T, Verizon Suffer Breach: Report

ARC Global Investments, a major investor in&nbsp;Trump Media &amp; Technology Group (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DJT#NASDAQ">DJT</a>), has drastically reduced its stake in the company.
What Happened: According to a regulatory filing on Friday, ARC Global and its manager, Patrick Orlando, now hold a mere 0.01% stake in Trump Media, the parent company of&nbsp;Truth Social.
This is a significant decrease from their previous holding of over 5% or more than&nbsp;11 million shares in September.
Orlando, the former CEO of Digital World Acquisition Corp., the SPAC that took Trump Media public, was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/03/31451246/trump-linked-spac-digital-world-boots-out-ceo-as-it-looks-to-bring-in-new-management-to-tackle-unpre">removed from his role</a> before the deal was completed.

In July, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) sued Orlando, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39829953/trump-linked-digital-worlds-former-ceo-sued-by-sec-for-securities-fraud">alleging securities fraud</a> for false and misleading statements as CEO of Digital World Acquisition.
In September, a Delaware judge ruled that Trump Media had violated an agreement with ARC Global. The ruling stated that the fund should receive over&nbsp;half a million additional shares&nbsp;before the expiration of&nbsp;a lock-up on insider sales.
Why It Matters: President-elect Donald Trump&nbsp;currently holds&nbsp;a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/41878254/trumps-djt-surges-26-in-past-month-boosting-investors-wealth-by-over-1b-as-ex-president-returns-to-white-house-for-a-second-term">57% stake in&nbsp;Trump Media</a>.
On Election Day, Trump Media reported a 6% year-over-year decrease in its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/41760961/djt-stock-volatile-on-election-day-donald-trumps-media-company-reports-q3-earnings-growth-initiativ">third-quarter net sales</a>, which stood at $1.01 million, with all revenue coming from advertising on the Truth Social platform.
Earlier this month, Trump announced that he had no plans to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/24/11/41853221/trump-says-he-wont-sell-trump-media-stock">sell his stake in the Truth Social parent</a>, causing the company&#8217;s stock to soar.
Meanwhile, on Wednesday, it was reported that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/24/11/41993328/trump-media-insiders-sell-more-than-16-million-in-djt-stock">Trump Media&#8217;s CFO</a> and two other insiders sold millions of dollars worth of shares following the election.
Price Action: DJT shares ended Friday up 4.11%, closing at $28.10. However, in after-hours trading, the stock dipped 0.57% to $27.94 at the time of writing, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Major Investor In Trump Media Offloads Most Of Its Stake In DJT Stock

Elon Musk&#8217;s artificial intelligence venture, xAI, is reportedly in the process of raising up to $6 billion. The funds are intended for purchasing 100,000 Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) chips.
What Happened: xAI's latest funding round is expected to close early next week, as reported <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/11/15/elon-musks-xai-raising-up-to-6-billion-to-purchase-100000-nvidia-chips-for-memphis-data-center.html">by</a> CNBC on Friday. It includes $5 billion from Middle Eastern sovereign funds and an additional $1 billion from other investors. Some of these investors may be looking to increase their stakes.
This fundraising would value Musk's AI startup at $50 billion, more than doubling the $24 billion valuation in its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/39025708/elon-musk-cheers-funding-after-xai-secures-6b-from-sequoia-andreessen-horowitz-saudi-prince-alwaleed">previous round of funding in May</a>.
The chips are crucial for the new Memphis supercomputer, which will support Tesla Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology.

xAI, launched in July 2023, aims to &#8220;understand the true nature of the universe,&#8221; according to its website.
Last year, xAI introduced a chatbot named Grok, inspired by &#8220;The Hitchhiker&#8217;s Guide to the Galaxy.&#8221; The chatbot was designed to compete with OpenAI&#8217;s ChatGPT, Google&#8217;s Gemini, and Anthropic&#8217;s Claude.

Why It Matters: Earlier this year, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/39027735/elon-musks-xai-raises-6b-heres-where-it-stands-against-openai-anthropic-and-other-ai-rivals">xAI raised $6 billion</a> in its Series B funding round, catapulting its valuation to $24 billion.
This positioned xAI among the world&#8217;s most valuable AI startups, alongside giants like Microsoft Corp.-backed (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) OpenAI and Anthropic. Despite this, xAI is not yet the largest AI startup in terms of valuation.
The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39199007/elon-musks-xai-to-take-on-tech-giants-microsoft-google-and-openai-with-planned-memphis-supercomputer">planned Memphis supercomputer</a>, a key component of xAI&#8217;s strategy, is set to enhance its AI capabilities. The project, located at a former manufacturing site, is awaiting approval from local authorities. Discussions with city officials began in March, underscoring the competitive nature of securing such high-profile projects.
