Lucid Group, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LCID#NASDAQ">LCID</a>) announced Friday that it has <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/n44754991/lucid-to-acquire-select-facilities-and-assets-previously-belonging-to-nikola-corporation-will-exte" rel="noreferrer noopener">agreed to acquire</a> select facilities and assets in&nbsp;Arizona&nbsp;previously belonging to Nikola Corp (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKLAQ#OTC">NKLAQ</a>) in the bankruptcy auction.
Lucid committed close to $30 million in cash and non-cash considerations in exchange for the factory, Nikola's lease on its Phoenix headquarters, and "certain machinery, equipment and inventory," as per a Thursday night court&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://document.epiq11.com/document/getdocumentbycode?docId=4461235&amp;projectCode=NKL&amp;source=DM" rel="noreferrer noopener">filing</a>.
Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) rival Lucid will take over Nikola's former&nbsp;Coolidge&nbsp;manufacturing facility (680 E Houser Rd,&nbsp;Coolidge, AZ) and the&nbsp;Phoenix&nbsp;facility (4141 E Broadway Rd,&nbsp;Phoenix, AZ) previously used as Nikola's headquarters and product development center.

These buildings add more than 884,000 square feet to Lucid's&nbsp;Arizona&nbsp;footprint. Most of this space comprises state-of-the-art manufacturing and warehousing buildings, which executes against Lucid's prior planned expansion in&nbsp;Arizona.
These facilities include development equipment with extensive battery and environmental testing chambers, a full-size chassis dynamometer, machining equipment, and more.
The deal is subject to approval by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of&nbsp;Delaware.
The deal does not include acquiring Nikola's business, customer base, or technology related to Nikola's hydrogen fuel cell electric trucks.
Additionally, Lucid plans to offer employment to more than 300 former Nikola employees in roles across Lucid's&nbsp;Arizona&nbsp;facilities.
These offers will encompass various technical salaried and hourly positions, including manufacturing engineering, software, assembly, vehicle testing, and warehouse support. Lucid welcomes employees with strong backgrounds in EV technology and further supports its local community.
Nikola's bankruptcy auction concluded on&nbsp;April 10, 2025, as part of its filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy relief. Nikola's troubles began back in 2020 when short-seller&nbsp;Hindenburg&nbsp;accused it of fraud, followed by the&nbsp;conviction of former CEO&nbsp;Trevor Milton&nbsp;for lying about the company.
Hindenburg highlighted <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/01/43172296/whats-going-on-with-nikola-stock-on-thursday" rel="noreferrer noopener">Nikola's video titled "Nikola One in Motion,"</a> alleging that the company towed the truck to the top of a hill and released it instead of being driven at high speed.&nbsp;
In December 2023,&nbsp;Milton was convicted of fraud after a jury found he&nbsp;had lied persistently about the company. The <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43552668/nikola-once-a-30-billion-ev-sensation-struggles-to-survive-after-hindenburg-fallout-and-mounting-losses" rel="noreferrer noopener">subsequent investigation led</a> to Milton's conviction on fraud charges in 2022 and a four-year prison sentence.
In April 2024, Milton alleged Nikola's board of rampant&nbsp;misconduct and potential fraud.&nbsp;He also sought the resignation of then-CEO&nbsp;Steve Girsky&nbsp;and those involved in their decisions, as failing to do so might make the company go bankrupt by year-end.
In June 2024, Milton&nbsp;filed a multi-billion derivative lawsuit against the&nbsp;company's chief legal officer, Britton Worthen, and its directors.
Reportedly, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/asset-sales/25/02/43811409/nikola-files-for-bankruptcy-seeks-auction-for-sale-of-its-assets" rel="noreferrer noopener">electric vehicle companies</a> that went public during the pandemic, including Fisker, Lordstown Motors, and Proterra, went bankrupt as funding for their operations declined amid rising interest rates and decreasing demand.

Lucid held $1.61 billion in cash and equivalents as of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/n43956551/lucid-announces-fourth-quarter-and-full-year-2024-financial-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">December 31, 2024</a>.

Baupost Group founder Seth Klarman once highlighted the importance of viewing investment risk with "vital clarity" urging investors to look beyond returns when assessing performance. 
What Happened: While return is measurable, Klarman <a href="https://valuehunter.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/klarman_worrying.pdf">argues</a> in a 2004 year-end letter to investors that risk is harder to quantify. He dismisses "beta" or market volatility as an irrelevant measure, instead advocating a common-sense approach: gauge how much can be lost and the probability of it happening. This keeps investors grounded when markets grow complacent and helps them avoid catastrophic losses.
Klarman also highlights the dangers of allowing short-term pressures to obscure the ultimate goal of "long-term, risk-adjusted, cumulative" results. He warns that investors often ignore or minimize potential downsides until a market downturn forces them to face reality. 
According to Klarman, simply worrying about risks does little good if it fails to prompt concrete steps like hedging interest rate exposure or trimming vulnerable positions. By distinguishing "productive worrying" from idle fretting, he believes investors can safeguard against significant setbacks and position themselves for better long-term outcomes.

Moreover, Klarman stresses the need for introspection to counteract biases such as clinging to outdated assumptions or riding overvalued assets without reassessment. 
He argues that routine, healthy skepticism — especially during periods of relative calm — can help investors detect flaws in their strategies before they morph into costly mistakes. Through consistent, deliberate action guided by an awareness of risk, Klarman contends investors can preserve hard-won gains. 
Ultimately, he concludes that the art of "productive worrying" can be a powerful defense against market turbulence. 
Klarman, a staunch disciple of Buffett, has previously advised investors to try having a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44680727/seth-klarman-learnt-warren-buffetts-lifetime-punch-card-secret-long-ago-and-it-helped-him-consistently-outperform-the-market">leaner selection</a> of investments and avoid falling into the &#8220;diworsification&#8221; <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2023/11/29/charlie-munger-quotes-that-will-make-you-a-better-investor.html#:~:text=%22I%20think%20it's%20much%20easier,think%20I%20have%20an%20advantage.%22">trap</a>, a phrase coined by Charlie Munger.

Abigail Disney, filmmaker and heir to the Disney fortune, is known for her frank views on wealth, inequality, and politics. She recently expressed her concerns about the rise of Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and the culture of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44710082/trumps-liberation-day-tariffs-wipe-out-174-billion-from-the-net-worth-of-worlds-top-10-billionaires-including-warren-buffett">unbridled privilege</a>, while advocating for systemic change and grassroots resistance.
What Happened: In a recent conversation <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/apr/07/abigail-disney-every-billionaire-who-cant-live-on-999m-is-kind-of-a-sociopath">with</a> The Guardian&#8216;s John Harris, Disney criticized Trump's sense of entitlement grounded in inherited wealth, calling it "the worst way to raise a person."
She argued that both Trump and Musk represent a moral void, highlighting Musk's role in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/02/43781034/bill-gates-hopes-elon-musk-will-rethink-slashing-usaid-their-work-is-something-every-taxpayer-would-be-proud">defunding</a> life-saving global health programs like PEPFAR.
Disney has long called for taxing the ultra-rich, stating, "Every billionaire who can't live on $999 million is kind of a sociopath." She has donated around $70 million to organizations supporting marginalized women.

Why It Matters: Disney believes Trump's success is not an accident but the outcome of years of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/04/44658417/warren-buffett-stands-tall-in-2025-as-elon-musk-jeff-bezos-and-mark-zuckerberg-bleed-billions-in-net-worth-oracle-of-omaha-emerges-as-lone-gainer-among-top-billionaires-amid-market-rout">cultural adulation of wealth</a>. "Our magazine covers used to show war heroes or civil rights leaders—now it's all CEOs," she observed.
She holds the media, celebrity culture, and social media responsible for platforming figures like Trump, who "came along at the correct moment and played his role brilliantly."
Disney advocated for the restructuring of civic institutions and backing "authentic" voices in politics. She urged figures like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44400603/starbucks-must-end-its-greed-bernie-sanders-calls-out-starbucks-ceo-for-getting-96-million-for-4-months-of-work">Bernie Sanders</a>, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and younger politicians like Maxwell Frost to consolidate public support and chart a coordinated campaign.

'Every Billionaire Who Needs More Than $999M Is Kind Of A Sociopath,'  Says Abigail Disney

China has announced a 60 billion yuan (US$8.2 billion) government-aided fund for jump-starting early-stage artificial intelligence projects, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44268864/chinese-investors-rushing-to-find-the-next-deepseek-says-vc-as-ai-boom-fuels-investment-surge-after-nvidia-selloff">consolidating its ambition </a>to dominate the global AI race.
The move comes amidst escalating trade tensions with the U.S. and an increasing country-wide push for technological self-sufficiency.
What Happened: Zhang Jianhua from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said the AI Industry Investment Fund was set up in January with support from the Big Fund's third phase, according <a href="https://www.scmp.com/tech/policy/article/3306047/new-ai-fund-china-pour-us8-billion-early-stage-projects">to</a> the South China Morning Post.
Moderated by state-owned Guozhi Investment, the fund will invest throughout the AI supply chain, including computing power, data, algorithms, and applications. Embodied AI, which refers to intelligent systems in physical form, is a key area of focus.
"The development of embodied AI will provide an effective path for the commercialisation of AI," Zhang said.

With the AI market estimated to hit 5.6 trillion yuan by 2030, Beijing is using state capital to stay ahead of the curve.
Zhang added the fund will actively back companies in Shenzhen, stating: "The National AI Industry Investment Fund is willing to work with all relevant parties in Shenzhen to increase capital, confidence and capacity."

Housing inflation is finally showing signs of easing, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for March posting a 4% year-over-year increase in housing costs — the slowest uptick since November 2021. 
Yet, buyers still grapple with steep price tags and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/reit/25/04/44703014/tariff-turmoil-sends-mortgage-rates-higher-contract-signings-remain-well-below-normal-historical-levels">volatile</a> mortgage rates. Despite this cooling trend, prospective homeowners need to decide whether they should leap into the market or sit tight, especially as the Federal Reserve's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/25/04/44733390/march-inflation-rate-cools-far-more-than-expected-raises-hopes-for-near-term-fed-rate-cuts">inflation fight</a> continues.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Rates and Prices Are A Double-Edged Sword</h3>
Throughout 2024, mortgage rates soared past 8%, but they've since receded to an average of around 6.76%, per recent Bankrate <a href="https://www.bankrate.com/mortgages/historical-mortgage-rates/">data</a>. Meanwhile, the National Association of Realtors (NAR) <a href="https://www.nar.realtor/newsroom/existing-home-sales-accelerated-4-2-in-february">reports</a> that February's median home price stood at $398,100 — still historically high. While higher rates and record-breaking prices might deter many buyers, securing a loan now means you start building equity sooner, and you can refinance later if rates drop.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Three Key Factors At Play</h3>
The NAR data shows that homes spent an average of 42 days on the market in February (up from 38 last year), giving buyers more breathing room. Active listings have also increased by 17% year-over-year, improving choice and negotiation power. That said, real estate remains hyper-local, which means that supply and demand can swing dramatically even within a single metro area, so it's crucial to partner with an agent familiar with the nuances of your chosen neighborhood.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Recession Worries And More Careful Consideration</h3>
Talk of an impending recession clouds the future. A downturn could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-prepare-for-a-recession-9-tips">undermine job security</a> and dampen demand, which in turn might push prices lower. On the flip side, a recession can create opportunities for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/what-to-look-for-when-buying-a-house">well-prepared buyers</a> unburdened by layoffs or shaky finances. If you opt to wait, it would be a good idea to focus on boosting your credit score and padding your savings since a stronger financial position means better loan terms when the right time finally arrives.
Ultimately, this market hinges on personal stability. Whether housing inflation has cooled enough or not, ask yourself: Are you ready to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mortgage-tips">manage a mortgage</a>, maintain a steady income, and stay put long enough for the investment to pay off? If yes, buying now might be less daunting than it seems.

Housing Inflation Had Its Lowest Uptick In March But Is Now The Worst Time To Buy A House?

On Thursday, April 10, U.S. markets closed lower as renewed fears over President Trump&#8217;s escalating trade war with China erased much of the previous day&#8217;s historic rally.
The S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq had surged following a 90-day tariff reprieve, but investor uncertainty quickly returned. Meanwhile, inflation eased in March, nearing the Fed&#8217;s 2% target, though the central bank&#8217;s path forward remains uncertain amid ongoing trade tensions with both China and Europe.
In economic data, Consumer inflation slowed to 2.4% year-over-year, down from 2.8% in February and below expectations of 2.6%—marking the lowest reading since September 2024. On a monthly basis, the Consumer Price Index fell 0.1%, the first decline since May 2020.
Most S&amp;P 500 sectors ended lower, led by sharp losses in energy, technology, and communication services. However, consumer staples outperformed, closing in positive territory.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 2.50% to 39,593.66, the S&amp;P 500 fell 3.46% to 5,268.05, and the Nasdaq Composite declined 4.31% to close at 16,387.31.

China's Retaliatory Tariff Hike Escalates Trade War, Gold Soars, Dollar Hits Two-Year Low - Global Markets Today While US Slept

In its most recent move to tackle <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44447338/donald-trump-administration-to-strip-legal-protections-from-over-half-a-million-migrants-as-he-argues-joe-bidens-parole-programs-overstepped-federal-law">unregulated migration</a>, the Trump administration has reclassified over 6,000 living immigrants as deceased and disabled their Social Security numbers.
This move strips them of their work eligibility and pushes them to leave the country.
What Happened: According <a href="https://time.com/7276631/social-security-immigrants-trump-work-eligibility-benefits-services-self-deport/">to</a> Time Magazine, immigrants&#8217; names were moved into a federal death-tracking database, removing access to jobs, banking, and services.
Many of those targeted had legal status under Biden-era programs, including users of the CBP One app. "It wasn't immediately clear how the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44067679/trumps-immigration-policy-could-be-the-key-to-inflation-and-market-shifts-investors-warn">6,000-plus immigrants</a> were chosen," the sources speaking to Time Magazine said.

Why It Matters: Critics view this tactic as a strategy to force "self-deportation." "This President continues to engage in lawless behavior," said Skye Perryman of Democracy Forward, sharing plans to sue. Meanwhile, a new IRS-ICE data-sharing agreement drew widespread backlash and led to the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/25/04/44708720/irs-turmoil-deepens-after-unheard-of-treasury-interference-triggers-commissioners-departure"> IRS commissioner's resignation</a>.
Legal challenges to this new move are expected as advocacy groups raise alarms about further overreach by the administration. "We will likely sue over the Social Security numbers," Perryman added.

Over 6,000 Immigrants Declared Dead By Social Security In Effort To Revoke Benefits And Force 'Self-Deportation'

Judge Trevor Neil McFadden has given the green light to the Trump administration's plan requiring undocumented immigrants to register with the federal government.
What Happened: Judge McFadden ruled Thursday in favor of the Trump administration, allowing the enforcement of a policy that mandates undocumented immigrants aged 14 and older to provide their fingerprints or face penalties, including fines or imprisonment, <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/04/10/immigrant-registry-fingerprints-trump-administration">Axios</a> reported.
The rule, effective from Friday, is a part of the administration&#8217;s escalated efforts to control undocumented immigration.
The Trump administration first announced this plan in February. In a lawsuit filed by the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA), the administration defended its stance, stating that it was merely enforcing the existing federal immigration law that requires non-citizens to register with the government.

Under the new rule, undocumented immigrants are&nbsp;required to register and create&nbsp;an account on the&nbsp;U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services&nbsp;(USCIS) online page. This rule applies to anyone residing&nbsp;in the U.S. for 30&nbsp;days or more. Once registered and fingerprinted, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will issue &#8220;evidence of registration,&#8221; which immigrants aged 18 and above must carry&nbsp;with them at all times,&nbsp;as per USCIS.
Why It Matters: This ruling comes amid a series of actions taken by the Trump administration to tighten immigration control. In March, the administration revoked legal status for approximately <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44447338/donald-trump-administration-to-strip-legal-protections-from-over-half-a-million-migrants-as-he-argues-joe-bidens-parole-programs-overstepped-federal-law">530,000 migrants</a> from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela, reversing a key policy from the Biden era. Later that month, President Trump signed an executive order to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44550693/trump-signs-executive-order-to-combat-crime-and-toughen-immigration-enforcement-in-washington-d-c">enhance immigration enforcement</a> in Washington, D.C. 
These measures have sparked criticism, particularly due to their high cost. For instance, the U.S. government spent approximately <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44753700/a-waste-of-resources-u-s-spent-40-million-to-hold-400-migrants-at-guantanamo-in-just-6-weeks">$40 million</a> in just six weeks to detain fewer than 400 migrants at the Guantánamo Bay Naval Base in Cuba, raising concerns among lawmakers about the high cost and military impact of these operations.

Federal Judge Clears Trump Plan Requiring Undocumented Immigrants To Register Or Face Penalties

Sen. Bernie Sanders is warning American workers to prepare for enormous changes as AI and robotics reconfigure the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44645518/strong-jobs-report-offers-hope-but-will-it-be-enough-to-counter-tariff-turmoil">job market</a>.
Speaking at a CNN town hall with Anderson Cooper earlier this week, he advised the public to consider the threat seriously.
What Happened: Sanders referred to Elon Musk's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44447947/big-short-investor-danny-moses-warns-of-economic-risks-from-elon-musks-doge-induced-federal-job-cuts">dismissal of federal workers</a> under the Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency.
"If Musk can do this to federal employees, what do you think he's going to be doing when artificial intelligence and robotics come for your job?" he asked. "The job you have today ain't going to be here in 10 or 15 years."

Why It Matters: Sanders accused Musk and tech elites of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44556147/mark-cuban-warns-of-red-rural-recession-as-hundreds-of-small-town-maga-supporters-reportedly-lose-federal-jobs-their-finances-will-be-turned-upside-down">prioritizing profits above people</a>. "They don't give a damn about you," Sanders said. "If this is what they could do to federal employees, think about what they could do to people in the private sector."
"I am not a Luddite," Sanders went on to add. "But new technology, AI, robotics, has got to work for working people, not just for the billionaires and Mr. Musk."
Earlier this week, Shopify CEO Tobi Lutke issued a memo announcing that the company will only recruit new workers if they can <a href="https://benzinga.com/25/04/44678363/shopify-ceo-tobi-lutke-says-employees-must-prove-ai-cant-handle-their-tasks-before-requesting-more-headcount">prove that AI cannot be used to do the job</a>. Sanders&#8217; warning appears even more stark in light of this new development.
