Market sentiment remains cautious, with the Crypto Fear and Greed Index reading 54 on Tuesday, indicating a neutral stance.

On Tuesday, a federal judge decided that parts of Elon Musk&#8217;s lawsuit against OpenAI will advance to trial. This legal battle centers on Musk&#8217;s efforts to halt OpenAI&#8217;s transition to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/24/12/42493076/openai-challenges-musks-lawsuit-reveals-2017-profit-talks">a for-profit model</a>.
What Happened: U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers, based in Oakland, California, said Musk will be required to testify in court, reported Reuters.
&#8220;Something is going to trial in this case,&#8221; she stated, indicating that a jury will ultimately determine the outcome.

The lawsuit, initiated by Musk last year, contests OpenAI&#8217;s shift from a nonprofit to a for-profit organization. Musk argues that the original mission was to develop AI for the benefit of humanity, not for profit.
OpenAI, which was co-founded by Musk in 2015, maintains that the transition is crucial to secure funding for AI development.

ChatGPT-Maker OpenAI's Future Hangs In The Balance As Judge Says Elon Musk's Lawsuit Will Partially Go To Trial

Editor&#8217;s Note: This story has been updated to clarify the correct price of a $1,000 investment in Meta at its IPO.
Facebook co-founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg once revealed to Sam Altman that one of the most painful moments in his career was not rejecting a billion-dollar acquisition offer—but watching his entire management team walk away because they disagreed with his decision.
What Happened: In a 2016 conversation with Altman, the then-president of Y Combinator, Zuckerberg reflected on Facebook's early struggles. He recalled the intense pressure to sell the company when Yahoo offered to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38351566/mark-zuckerberg-didnt-sell-facebook-for-1b-but-would-he-have-sold-for-5t-this-was-meta-ceos-thought">buy it for $1 billion</a>.
At the time, Facebook was still a small social network focused on college students, and many believed cashing out was the smart move. However, Zuckerberg and co-founder Dustin Moskovitz had a bigger vision—to expand Facebook beyond universities and turn it into a global platform.

"At the end of that, Dustin and I just decided, you know, we think that we can actually go connect more than just the 10 million people who are in school," Zuckerberg said. "We can go beyond that and have this really be a successful thing, we just had to go for it."&nbsp;&nbsp;
But, the decision had consequences. "A huge amount of the company quit because they didn't believe in what we were doing," he admitted. "The whole management team was gone within about a year after that."&nbsp;&nbsp;
For Zuckerberg, the real pain wasn't rejecting the deal—it was realizing that many of the people he trusted to help build Facebook didn't believe in him.&nbsp;

Why It Matters: Founded on Feb. 4, 2004, in a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/23/05/32461106/if-you-invested-1-000-in-facebook-stock-at-ipo-11-years-ago-heres-how-much-youd-have-now">Harvard dorm room</a>, Facebook started as a social network for college students.
By the time Yahoo made its offer in 2006, the company had grown to at least 10 million users. Had Zuckerberg sold, Facebook might never have evolved into the global tech giant it is today.
Instead, Facebook, which became Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) in 2021, continued to expand. By 2008, Facebook had amassed 100 million users, and in 2012, it went public in what was the largest IPO in history at the time, valuing the company at $104 billion.&nbsp;
An investor who put $1,000 into <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/02/36937315/happy-20-facebook-if-you-invested-1-000-in-mark-zuckerbergs-social-network-when-it-went-public-1">Facebook at its IPO</a> price of $38 would have received approximately 26.31 shares. At Tuesday&#8217;s closing price of $704.19, those shares would now be valued at around $18,531.31.
Some of Facebook's earliest investors included Peter Thiel and Reid Hoffman. The company acquired Instagram in 2012 and WhatsApp for $19 billion in 2014. It also acquired Oculus to enter the virtual reality space in 2014.
The company today has a market capitalization of $1.784 trillion, making it the seventh most valuable company in the world. Last month, Meta reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/01/43322201/meta-platforms-q4-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-daily-actives-up-5-continued-strong-revenue-growth-expected">fourth-quarter revenue</a> of $48.39 billion, surpassing analyst expectations of $47.03 billion.

President Donald Trump has declared that the US will assume control of the Gaza Strip and economically develop it post the resettlement of Palestinians.
What Happened: As per a Reuters report on Tuesday, Trump made this unexpected declaration at a joint press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. This came on the heels of Trump&#8217;s earlier proposition on the same day for the permanent resettlement of Palestinians from Gaza to neighboring countries, referring to the region as a &#8220;demolition site.&#8221;
Trump said, &#8220;The U.S. will take over the Gaza Strip, and we will do a job with it too. We&#8217;ll own it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site.&#8221; He further added that the U.S. would develop the region, creating thousands of jobs, and it could become a home to &#8220;the world&#8217;s people.&#8221;
Netanyahu commended Trump for &#8220;thinking outside the box with fresh ideas&#8221; and showing a readiness to challenge conventional thinking. However, Trump did not provide specifics on how the U.S. would take over the land of Gaza and occupy it long-term.
Trump also repeated his call for Jordan, Egypt, and other Arab states to permanently resettle Gazans, a suggestion that Arab leaders had previously rejected.

Why It Matters: Trump&#8217;s announcement comes after a series of events that have shaped his stance on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In August, Trump had urged Netanyahu to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40417063/trump-says-he-encouraged-netanyahu-to-end-gaza-war-while-critizing-kamala-harris-for-demanding-cease">swiftly end the ongoing war in Gaza</a> during a press conference. He had criticized President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris for their repeated ceasefire calls, arguing that it would only give Hamas a chance to regroup.
By January, Trump&#8217;s Middle East envoy was in Israel <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42933339/trumps-envoy-urges-netanyahu-for-gaza-deal-can-ceasefire-efforts-succeed-before-inauguration">pushing for a ceasefire</a> in the ongoing Israel-Hamas war before Trump's inauguration. Trump had set a firm deadline, demanding all hostages be released before his inauguration on January 20, with severe consequences if not met.

Trump Says US Will Take Over Gaza Strip: 'We're Going To Develop It, Create Thousands Of Jobs'

As Tesla gets ready to release its fourth-quarter earnings on Wednesday, investors have been asking some pretty pointed questions in an online forum. Most of the inquiries center around two big topics: the company&#8217;s robotaxi plans and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/25/01/43310996/elon-musk-outshines-zuckerberg-200-billion-richer-dominates-politics-and-emerges-as-trumps-right-hand-po">Elon Musk</a>&#8216;s political activities and how they might impact Tesla&#8217;s future.
These questions are coming just weeks after Tesla reported its annual sales decline, so there's a lot riding on this earnings release. One of the most popular questions, with over 3,000 votes, asks whether Tesla still plans to roll out &#8220;unsupervised&#8221; Full Self-Driving technology in Texas and California this year.&nbsp;

</ul>
Back in October, Musk introduced Tesla's Cybercab robotaxi, claiming that fully autonomous Model 3 and Y vehicles would be on the roads in both states by 2025. But Tesla is still waiting for the go-ahead to operate its cars autonomously in California, which is a key step for launching its robotaxi service there.
Aside from that, Tesla faces a number of regulatory challenges – particularly federal rules about autonomous vehicles, especially those without a steering wheel or pedals.&nbsp;
Musk's ties to the Trump administration could potentially play a role in smoothing out some of these regulatory obstacles. According to an NBC-2 report, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy hinted that the department may look into revising autonomous vehicle rules, which could potentially help Tesla's efforts.

Investors are also curious about Tesla's Optimus robot, which Musk has said will enter limited production this year, with plans for broader availability to other companies in 2026. It seems there's a lot of anticipation around this product as part of Tesla's expanding lineup.
But while most of the questions focus on Tesla&#8217;s products, some investors raised concerns about Musk's political involvement. One investor, representing nearly 600,000 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/11/41866041/if-you-want-a-new-tesla-cybertruck-you-can-get-it-built-and-delivered-in-10-days-thats-not-a-good-thing-for-the-ev-company">Tesla</a> shares, asked how the company could function with a part-time CEO, considering Musk&#8217;s commitments to SpaceX, Twitter (now X) and his involvement with Dogecoin.&nbsp;
Other investors voiced concerns about potential changes to the $7,500 federal tax credit for electric vehicles, which Musk has supported, and how trade tensions with China could impact sales.

If They Could Show A Plan For Ending World Hunger He'd Donate $6 Billion – ‘I Will Sell Tesla Stock Right Now And Do It'</a>
One of the more pointed questions came from an investor who referenced Musk's controversial actions during President Donald Trump's inauguration, wondering how Tesla could manage consumer relations given Musk's public political stances. This investor was clearly concerned about how such actions could affect the company's image and, ultimately, its bottom line.
Despite these concerns, Tesla's stock is performing well. As of Jan. 30, 2025, Tesla&#8217;s stock (TSLA) was trading at $405.85, reflecting a 4.3% increase from the previous close, with a market value now sitting at $1.25 trillion.

Elon Musk Is 'All-In' On Trump – Tesla Investors Holding 600,000+ Shares Question If He Can Still Run A $1.25 Trillion Company

El Salvador's President <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/nayib-bukele">Nayib Bukele</a> says he will incarcerate convicted criminals from the U.S. in his country, a macabre offer that is being praised as an "unprecedented" by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
Bukele made the proposal while hosting Rubio at his residence near San Salvador on Monday. He said El Salvador is prepared to imprison convicted Americans, for a small fee of course, in an infamous mega-prison opened a year ago, the largest in Latin America.
"We have offered the United States of America the opportunity to outsource part of its prison system," Bukele <a href="https://x.com/nayibbukele/status/1886606794614587573">wrote</a> on X. "The fee would be relatively low for the U.S. but significant for us, making our entire prison system sustainable."
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Such A Good Friend</h1>
"In an act of extraordinary friendship to our country … [El Salvador] has agreed to the most unprecedented and extraordinary migratory agreement anywhere in the world," Rubio told reporters Monday.
In addition to loving the U.S., Bukele also loves Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), making El Salvador the first country to adopt it as its legal tender in 2021.
"He has offered to house in his jails dangerous American criminals in custody in our country, including those with U.S. citizenship and legal residency. No country's ever made an offer of friendship such as this. We are profoundly grateful," gushed Rubio.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Is That Even Legal?</h1>
Not at all.
"The U.S. is absolutely prohibited from deporting U.S. citizens, whether they are incarcerated or not," Leti Volpp, a law professor at the University of California/Berkeley who specializes in immigration law, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/03/americas/el-salvador-migrant-deal-marco-rubio-intl-hnk/index.html">told CNN</a> in an email.
It is unclear whether the U.S. government will take up Bukele's offer though Elon Musk seemed to quite like it. He took to X <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1886622263690072526">where he called</a> it a "great idea," so one can assume the plan has a pretty good chance being accepted by President Donald Trump. &nbsp;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>

Bukele has made El Salvador's prison system — known for rampant human rights violations, violence and overcrowding — part of his anti-crime and anti-gang program. Since March 2022, more than 84,000 people have been arrested, most with no due process, <a href="https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2023/12/el-salvador-policies-practices-legislation-violate-human-rights/">according</a> to Amnesty International.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Can't U.S. Prisons House U.S. Citizens?</h2>
Apparently, there are too many criminals. Since returning to the White House in January, Trump has prioritized arresting and deporting millions of undocumented individuals. His administration also plans to detain 30,000 migrants at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
CoreCivic, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CXW#NYSE">CXW</a>) and the GEO Group, Inc.

American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) <a href="https://www.aclu.org/news/immigrants-rights/more-of-the-same-private-prison-corporations-and-immigration-detention-under-the-biden-administration">data</a> found that private prison corporations have pocketed billions from ICE detention contracts in the past two decades. But even they are filling to capacity it seems.

Bukele's Big House: El Salvador Offers US A Prison Deal Like No Other, Musk Says 'Great Idea'

Uber Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>) is set to announce its fourth-quarter financial results on Wednesday before the opening bell. Here's a look at what to watch <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/technicals/25/02/43475816/uber-stock-bullish-q4-earnings-bigger-rally">when the company reports. </a>

Uber's gross bookings grew by 16% to $40.97 billion in the third quarter, though this growth rate was slower than the previous year. The company reported 161 million users in the third quarter, up 13.4% year-over-year.

Expert Ideas: Several analysts updated coverage on Uber stock heading into the fourth-quarter print:&nbsp;

</ul>
According to estimates from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>, analysts expect Uber to report quarterly earnings of 49 cents per share on revenue of $11.77 billion. The company missed expectations on both the top and bottom lines in the third quarter.  
Uber shares are up more than 15% year-to-date after trading mostly flat through 2024.&nbsp;

$1000 Invested In This Stock 20 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Google previously had strict guidelines when it came to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/ai">artificial intelligence</a>.
The Mountain View, California-based company, a subsidiary of Alphabet Inc. (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>), once pledged not to use the burgeoning tech field for harm.
Not anymore. 
What Happened: Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis and Senior Vice President James Manyika co-authored <a href="https://blog.google/technology/ai/responsible-ai-2024-report-ongoing-work/">a blog post</a> that included an updated list of so-called &#8220;AI Principles.&#8221; (DeepMind is an artificial intelligence research laboratory.)
The <a href="https://blog.google/technology/ai/ai-principles/">original list</a>, published in 2018, included applications that the company pledged not to &#8220;pursue.&#8221; That included weapons, surveillance and technologies that "cause or are likely to cause overall harm."
Google tweaked those ethical guidelines as of today.
&#8220;There's a global competition taking place for AI leadership within an increasingly complex geopolitical landscape. We believe democracies should lead in AI development, guided by core values like freedom, equality, and respect for human rights,&#8221; the executives wrote. &#8220;And we believe that companies, governments, and organizations sharing these values should work together to create AI that protects people, promotes global growth, and supports national security.&#8221;

Mattel, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAT#NASDAQ">MAT</a>) reported its fourth-quarter financial results after Tuesday's closing bell. Here's a look at the key <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/b43478101/mattel-reports-fourth-quarter-and-full-year-2024-financial-results">figures from the quarter.&nbsp;</a>
The Details: Mattel reported quarterly earnings of 35 cents per share, which beat the analyst consensus estimate of 20 cents. Quarterly revenue came in at $1.65 billion, which beat the analyst consensus estimate of $1.63 billion and is an increase over sales of $1.62 billion from&nbsp;the same period last year.
Gross billings in the North America segment increased 1% as reported and in constant currency, due to growth in Vehicles (primarily Hot Wheels) and Action Figures, Building Sets, Games, and Other (primarily Action Figures), partly offset by declines in Infant, Toddler, and Preschool (primarily Baby Gear and Power Wheels) and Dolls (primarily Barbie).
Gross billings in the International segment increased by 3% as reported, or 6% in constant currency, due to growth in Vehicles (primarily Hot Wheels) and Infant, Toddler, and Preschool, partly offset by declines in Dolls (primarily Barbie).

&#8220;2024 was a year of strong operational excellence for Mattel with topline growth in the fourth quarter.
