U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy visited Tesla Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) Gigafactory in Austin, Texas, where he was joined by CEO Elon Musk.
What Happened: "We're thrilled about the future of autonomous vehicles and Tesla, one of the great companies that are evolving this technology," Duffy said in a video on social media platform X, which showcased highlights from his visit to the factory on Tuesday.

"America is at the forefront of innovation. @Tesla is one of the many companies helping our country reach new heights. @USDOT will be right there all the way to make sure Americans stay safe." Duffy said in the post. The video also highlighted how autonomous driving could help reduce traffic accidents and fatalities.
In a separate video, the Secretary shared a conversation with Musk where they talked about the Department of Transportation's role in innovation in the American auto industry.

Musk touched upon federal regulation for autonomous vehicles in the U.S. "It'd be wonderful for the United States to have a national set of rules for autonomous driving as opposed to 50 independent sets of rules on a state-by-state rules basis," Musk said.
Duffy echoed Musk's comments in the video. "You can't have 50 different rules for 50 different states. You need one standard," he said before sharing that the agency has asked AV companies to send in data so that the DOT can develop a single standard.
Why It Matters: Duffy's comments come in as the agency eased <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45001024/trump-administration-announces-exemptions-for-autonomous-driving-companies-in-the-us-eases-self-driving-crash-report-requirements">some of the regulations</a> required for Domestic Autonomous Driving companies and provided them with some U.S. Safety Standards exemptions, previously reserved for imports.

WeRide Announces $100M Share Repurchase Program, Company Says It Remains Confident In Business Fundamentals And Long-Term Outlook

Perplexity AI CEO Aravind Srinivas believes search giant Google is currently at its most vulnerable since its founding over two decades ago, caught between its legacy dominance in search advertising and the fast-moving disruption of AI-native search.
What Happened: During the Sohn Investment Conference 2025 in New York last week, Srinivas did not hold back while saying, &#8220;This is the first time in two decades that Google is extremely vulnerable,&#8221; citing Alphabet Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) heavy reliance on ultra-high-margin search advertising as a strategic liability in the current AI arms race.
While the company has diversified extensively over the years, across YouTube, Cloud, and even hardware, Srinivas argues that none of them are comparable in profitability. &#8220;YouTube is not a high-margin business… cloud is not a high-margin business… same thing with AI,&#8221; he said.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45535837/us-faces-death-by-a-thousand-cuts-as-national-debt-tops-36-trillion-cautions-deutsche-bank-the-drip-drip-drip-of-poor-fiscal-news-building-up">US Faces &#8216;Death By A Thousand Cuts&#8217; As National Debt Tops $36 Trillion, Cautions Deutsche Bank: &#8216;&#8230;The Drip, Drip, Drip Of Poor Fiscal News Building Up&#8230;&#8217;</a>
A former Google employee himself, Srinivas underscored the irony of it all, with the company having led the way with early AI breakthroughs, with acquisitions like DeepMind and DNNresearch, founded by Nobel Prize-winning luminaries, Demis Hassabis and Geoffrey Hinton, and yet Google was paralyzed by its own success.
&#8220;They can still be entrapped into this trap that they saw coming,&#8221; he says, referencing the classic innovator's dilemma.
The branding risk is also immense, Srinivas noted. &#8220;One out of ten mistakes at the scale of 10 billion daily queries is a billion mistakes a day,&#8221; he says. That level of failure in a public-facing AI product could erode Google's reputation, which was once, and probably still is, synonymous with trust and reliability.
Why It Matters: Two weeks ago, Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) executive Eddy Cue disclosed that, for the first time, search volume on the company&#8217;s Safari browser, where Google remains the default search engine, had declined.
The revelation triggered a pullback in both Apple and Alphabet shares. Srinivas <a href="https://benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45277969/ai-is-eating-search-google-rival-perplexity-ceo-arvind-srinivas-says-as-dan-nile-predicts-agents-to-take-future-share-amid-alphabet-apple-stock-fall">responded on X</a> with a blunt take, &#8220;AI is eating search.&#8221; The decline was widely interpreted as a sign that AI-native platforms like ChatGPT and Perplexity are beginning to chip away at traditional search traffic.

'This Is The First Time In Two Decades That Google Is Extremely Vulnerable:' Perplexity's CEO Breaks Down Search Giant's Margin Trap

Rumors

The Wall Street Journal Reported Medtronic to Separate Diabetes Business With Completion Expected Within 18 Months

President Donald Trump is currently considering a new executive order that would push U.S. agencies to let private equity firms tap into the country's huge <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45298194/interested-in-the-new-super-funding-401k-opportunity-heres-how-to-know-if-you-qualify">401(k) savings</a> pool, which is worth almost $9 trillion.
What Happened: Trump's team is drafting an order that would direct regulators like the Labor Department, Treasury, and SEC to assess allowing 401(k) plans to invest in private capital markets.
According <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/aeda9848-67c1-482c-8ea3-f1063fa572ef">to</a> the Financial Times, this could include buyout funds, real estate deals, and other alternative assets. Trump had expressed support for similar access in his first term, but legal concerns over fiduciary liability delayed adoption.

Why It Matters: If the order is issued and retirement plan providers get the go-ahead, key private equity firms like Blackstone, KKR, and Apollo could obtain access to a new stream of capital from ordinary American workers. Long-term savers are likely to benefit from the potentially higher returns of private investments. However, steep fees, limited liquidity, and murky asset valuations may lead to challenges.
Existing rules restrict how much of a fund's portfolio can be tied up in private assets, but regulators have already indicated their inclination to relax those caps. SEC Chair Paul Atkins recently hinted that the agency may ease current limitations to give all investors wider exposure to alternative investments.

On Tuesday, Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk clapped back at Bill Gates after the Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) co-founder said that the tech mogul's cost-cutting efforts at USAID under President Donald Trump's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45311187/the-picture-of-the-worlds-richest-man-killing-the-worlds-poorest-children-is-not-a-pretty-one-says-bill-gates-slamming-elon-musk-over-abrupt-usaid-cuts">endanger millions of lives</a>.
What Happened: During an onstage interview at the Qatar Economic Forum, Musk pushed back hard on Gates&#8217; accusation that he is "killing the world's poorest children" through what the Microsoft co-founder described as ill-advised U.S. development aid.
In response, Musk demanded proof. "I'd like him to show us any evidence whatsoever that this is true. It's false."

He also asked, "Who does Bill Gates think he is to make comments about the welfare of children, given that he frequented Jeffrey Epstein?" He was referring to Gates' multiple meetings with the late <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44067638/elon-musk-claims-rival-billionaire-wants-to-destroy-trump-to-suppress-jeffrey-epstein-client-list">convicted sex offender</a>.
"I wouldn't want that guy to babysit my kids," Musk added.
Gates has repeatedly expressed regret over his association with Epstein, who was found dead in his jail cell in 2019, with the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/19/08/14244993/reports-jeffrey-epstein-dies-by-suicide-in-jail">death ruled a suicide</a>. &#8220;I will say for the, you know, over hundredth time, yeah, I shouldn&#8217;t have had dinners with him,&#8221; Gates said in 2023.

Why It's Important: DOGE has reportedly slashed more than 80% of USAID's programs, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/marco-rubio-announces-official-end-of-most-usaid-programs-2025-3">noted</a> Business Insider, citing Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
&nbsp;"We spent the weekend feeding USAID into the wood chipper," Musk posted on X in February earlier this year.

However, on Tuesday, Musk said that essential services had been preserved. &#8220;They haven&#8217;t all been cut. The parts of USAID that were found to be even slightly useful were transferred to the State Department, so no, they&#8217;ve not been deleted, they&#8217;ve simply been transferred to the State Department,&#8221; Musk stated.
Musk's role with DOGE has sparked <a href="https://benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45163408/doge-not-as-effective-as-id-like-says-elon-musk-calls-reform-really-difficult-like-changing-direction-of-a-fleet-of-supertankers">discussion since he took on the position</a>.

Why Toll Brothers Shares Are Trading Higher By Over 6%; Here Are 20 Stocks Moving Premarket

After the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released its estimates for the distributional effects of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45485150/the-one-big-beautiful-bill-would-create-maga-savings-accounts-with-a-1000-gift-from-the-government-at-birth">One Big Beautiful Bill Act</a>, this economist questioned the Donald Trump administration about the inflating deficit and its inclination toward catering to the wealthiest Americans.
What Happened: The CBO documents highlighted that tax changes, including extending provisions of the 2017 tax act, would lead to an increase in the federal deficit by $3.8 trillion.
Meanwhile, it also underscored a $698 billion reduction in federal subsidies from changes to the Medicaid program and $267 billion less in federal spending for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).
The document also stated, &#8220;Household resources would decrease by an amount equal to about 2 percent of income in the lowest decile (tenth) of the income distribution in 2027 and 4 percent in 2033, mainly as a result of losses of in-kind transfers, such as Medicaid and SNAP.&#8221;
On the other hand, resources would increase by an amount equal to 4% for households in the highest decile in 2027 and 2% in 2033, mainly because of &#8220;reductions in the taxes they owe.&#8221;
Craig Shapiro, the macro strategist at the Bear Traps Report, pointed this out and said that the proposed bill will &#8220;explode the deficit while enriching the highest decile of Americans at the expense of the lowest decile.&#8221;
&#8220;Another opportunity squandered and further proof that the Republican Party continues to cater to the wealthiest Americans time and time again,&#8221; he added.

Why It Matters: Meanwhile, economist Peter Schiff also chimed in with his opinions, stating that the tax cuts just boost GDP at the &#8220;expense of larger budget and trade deficits and higher inflation, and long-term interest rates.&#8221; 
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

After being stalled by some Republican hard-liners on Friday, President Trump&#8217;s One Big Beautiful Bill Act was advanced by the House Budget Committee in a 17-16 party-line vote late Sunday night, with four Republicans voting present.
The Rules Committee will meet midweek to prepare for a floor vote by the end of the week.

Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) has unveiled ZEROSEARCH, a groundbreaking framework designed to dramatically reduce training costs for large language models, potentially transforming the economics of artificial intelligence development.
What Happened: Alibaba Group announced on X that its new ZEROSEARCH technology can cut AI training costs by nearly 90%. The framework enables LLMs to simulate search behavior without making actual Application Programming Interface calls to search engines during the training process.
According to Alibaba&#8217;s technical report, ZEROSEARCH addresses two major challenges in traditional search-based AI training: uncontrolled document quality from real search engines and prohibitively high API costs during reinforcement learning training, which typically requires hundreds of thousands of search requests.
The framework works by first using lightweight supervised fine-tuning to transform a Large Language Model into a retrieval module that generates both useful and noisy documents. During reinforcement learning training, it employs a curriculum-based rollout strategy that gradually increases the difficulty of retrieval scenarios.

Why It Matters: This development comes as Alibaba&#8217;s cloud division is upgrading its AI offerings globally, with expanded platform-as-a-service options and enhanced proprietary large language models, including <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44714832/alibaba-expands-global-ai-push-as-deepseeks-cheap-models-spark-fierce-tech-rivalry">Qwen-Max and QwQ-Plus </a>reasoning model, according to Bloomberg reports.
The dramatic cost reduction could significantly impact the competitive landscape of AI development. Since January, when Chinese AI startup DeepSeek emerged with claims of outperforming OpenAI models at a fraction of their cost, Alibaba and peers have launched increasingly affordable business intelligence tools, with some costing just $1 per year for individual developers.
Alibaba released its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/04/44625580/alibaba-steps-up-ai-game-with-qwen-3-challenging-deepseeks-low-cost-ai-success">Qwen 3 flagship model in April</a>, continuing its aggressive push into AI under the leadership of Eddie Wu and Joe Tsai. The company&#8217;s stock has risen 48.77% year-to-date, adding more than $100 billion to its valuation, with Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives calling Alibaba the &#8220;best way to play China tech&#8221; due to its strong positioning in AI and cloud.
