What Happened: "As a result of the incredible success of DeepSeek, the Chinese government … has decided this is another national priority. They're pouring billions of dollars into this," Schmidt told tech investor Ameer&nbsp;Haj‑Ali during an online chat.
"So never underestimate the Chinese competition here." He added a blunt warning: "China is going to win this race … unless we get our act together."

Trump has already revoked President Joe Biden's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/25/01/43106379/trump-reverses-bidens-ai-policies-on-day-1-what-it-means-for-tech-giants-nvidia-amd-alphabet">2023 AI‑safety order</a> and signed a new directive, as <a href="https://apnews.com/article/trump-ai-artificial-intelligence-executive-order-eef1e5b9bec861eaf9b36217d547929c?utm_source=chatgpt.com">reported</a> by AP, pledging to build systems "free from ideological bias." The President has since tightened <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44828742/nvidia-stock-is-tumbling-after-hours-heres-why">export bans</a> on AI chips to China that cost NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) an estimated $5.5 billion in sales.
Schmidt argued that any U.S. strategy must embed democratic norms. "It's imperative that the winner in AI win using American values and not Chinese values," he said. "The American traditionally liberal values of freedom of speech, freedom of expression, freedom of movement … would be forgotten" if China sets the rules.
Why It Matters: Schmidt&#8217;s China warning arrives amid a growing debate on U.S.-China relations and the control of AI technologies.

Eric Schmidt Warns 'China Is Going To Win' AI Race Unless Washington Fights With Funding And Instills 'American Values' At The Core

In a recent post on Truth Social, President Donald Trump defended his stance on tariffs and outlined a list of 8 non-tariff practices that countries resort to.
What Happened: Trump, in a Truth Social post on Sunday, outlined a series of practices he labels as &#8220;non-tariff cheating.&#8221; This includes currency manipulation, VATs acting as tariffs, export subsidies, and protective agricultural standards, among others. He also pointed out counterfeiting, piracy, and IP theft, which according to him cost over $1 trillion annually.
Trump criticized business leaders who oppose tariffs in another post, stating, &#8220;The&nbsp;businessmen who criticize tariffs are&nbsp;bad at business, but really&nbsp;bad at politics.&#8221; He further asserted that he is the &#8220;greatest friend that American capitalism&nbsp;has ever had.&#8221;
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="608" height="394" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/21031045/image-34.png" alt="" class="wp-image-879061" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/21031045/image-34.png 608w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/21031045/image-34-300x194.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 608px) 100vw, 608px" /></figure>
Trump also mentioned the proclamation of &#8220;LIBERATION DAY,&#8221; stating that numerous world leaders and business executives have sought his help for relief from tariffs. He stressed the importance of other countries rectifying the &#8220;wrongs of decades of abuse,&#8221; and urged businesses to establish themselves in America.

Why It Matters: Trump's support for tariffs is a key part of his economic policy, which he defends as a way to counter non-tariff barriers (like quotas, safety standards, and licensing rules) that he says unfairly restrict U.S. exports.
However, it has been found that not just other countries but even the U.S. frequently employs a protectionist measure known as the tariff-rate quota (TRQ) on imports. The TRQ functions more like a non-tariff barrier, as it doesn&#8217;t directly impose duties.
A 2024 study by the St. Louis Federal Reserve found that non-tariff barriers (NTBs) affect over two-thirds of U.S. imports—ranging from components to finished goods—across 15 manufacturing sectors, as reported by Fortune. The study underscores significant differences between tariffs and NTBs across industries and concludes that NTBs are widespread in all sectors of U.S. imports.
&#8220;&#8230;these nations charge the U.S. only slightly higher tariffs than the U.S. levies on their exports, and heap on far fewer non-tariff barriers than we do,&#8221; stated <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/04/16/trump-tariffs-non-tariff-barriers-most-protectionist-nations/">Fortune&#8217;s</a> Shawn Tully. &#8220;Trump's best solution would be offering to lower those NTBs that raise prices for American consumers and hobble our productivity in exchange for our trading partners' agreement to lower their restrictions,&#8221; added Tully.

Trump Defends Tariffs, Lists 'Non-Tariff Cheating' Tactics Like Currency Manipulation And IP Theft — Calls Himself The 'Greatest Friend' Of American Capitalism

Gene Munster, the Managing Partner of Deepwater Asset Management, predicts a major rebound for Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) in 2026, despite expecting a dip in the company&#8217;s earnings per share (EPS) and revenue estimates for the year.
What Happened: Munster suggests that Tesla&#8217;s 2025 performance is largely irrelevant to investors. He believes that the year is setting the stage for a significant recovery in 2026 and beyond. Munster anticipates a 10% decline in deliveries, which make up about 75% of Tesla&#8217;s business, in 2025. However, he predicts a 35% growth in deliveries in 2026, supported by an improving EV outlook, a healing brand,&nbsp;and the launch of a&nbsp;new model, according to a report by&nbsp;<a href="https://deepwatermgmt.com/tesla-march-preview-2025-largely-doesnt-matter/">Deepwater Management</a>.
In a post on X on Friday, Gene Munster stated, &#8220;Elon's message last quarter was that it's all about 2026, and I'd expect he doubles down on that.&#8221;
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Although revenue is expected to be soft and automotive gross margins may decline in 2025, Munster remains optimistic about Tesla&#8217;s long-term investment potential. He emphasizes Tesla&#8217;s potential to lead in physical-world AI, autonomy, and robotics as crucial drivers of its future success.
While the projected non-GAAP EPS for 2026 is still below the Street&#8217;s estimate, Munster emphasizes that Tesla&#8217;s earnings are more than sufficient&nbsp;to finance its transition to&nbsp;real-world AI and autonomy. He also highlights that Tesla concluded 2024 with $37 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and investments, offering further confidence in the company's financial stability.
&#8220;Elon will reaffirm his confidence that this transition is unfolding faster than most expect, and that Tesla's product lineup is well-positioned to lead throughout the coming decade,&#8221; stated the Deepwater Managing Partner.

Why It Matters: Tesla&#8217;s recent struggles include a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44882075/tesla-reportedly-scales-back-cybertruck-production-shifts-workers-as-sales-plummet-the-parking-lot-keeps-getting-emptier">sales slump </a>and scaled-back Cybertruck production. This has led some analysts like Dan Ives of Wedbush to suggest that Elon Musk should <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44891383/elon-musk-needs-to-leave-the-government-and-get-back-to-being-ceo-of-tesla-says-dan-ives-ahead-of-q1-earnings">refocus </a>on Tesla. Reports suggest that Musk's attention to DOGE has frustrated some investors, who feel it diverts his focus from Tesla. Meanwhile, recent talks indicate that his involvement with the government may soon end, possibly freeing him up to concentrate more on Tesla
However, despite a Q1 miss, analysts like Alexander Potter from Piper Sandler believe in Tesla&#8217;s future growth potential, especially from robotaxis and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/price-target/25/04/44850615/teslas-future-growth-from-robotaxis-and-new-products-intact-despite-q1-miss-analyst">new products</a>. Munster&#8217;s predictions align with this optimistic outlook, suggesting that the current struggles are temporary and that a major rebound is on the horizon.
Tesla holds a momentum rating of 92.50% and a growth rating of 67.70%, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TSLA" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga's Proprietary Edge Rankings</a>.

2025 'Largely Doesn't Matter' For Tesla, Says Gene Munster: Elon Musk Company Poised 'For A Major Rebound In 2026 And Beyond'

On Saturday, Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) CEO Tim Cook marked National Park Week by expressing his love for hiking, even as U.S. national parks face staffing shortages and budget cuts.
What Happened: Over the weekend, Cook took to X, formerly Twitter, and celebrated National Park Week, stating, "Hiking at our national parks is one of my favorite things to do, and Apple Maps has thousands of amazing trails and hikes to discover. Happy #NationalParkWeek!"

Why It&#8217;s Important: Cook's post came amid growing concerns about staffing issues within the National Park Service, which has faced challenges due to federal layoffs and a reduced workforce.
The NPS laid off around 1,000 employees in February 2025, just ahead of the peak season, exacerbating the agency's already strained operations.
According to NPS officials, the agency has seen a 15% decrease in full-time staff over the past decade, impacting park services such as reservations, clean-up, and educational programs, <a href="https://www.npr.org/2025/02/26/nx-s1-5307908/national-parks-layoffs-visitors-disruptions">reported</a> NPR.
A bit of relief came when the Donald Trump administration allowed the NPS to fill seasonal positions that had been frozen due to a federal hiring ban. This move permits the hiring of up to 7,700 seasonal workers, above the three-year average of 6,350 positions, the report noted.

Tim Cook Says Hiking At National Parks One Of His 'Favorite Things To Do' But Rangers Struggling With Staffing Cuts

Hesai Group (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HSAI#NASDAQ">HSAI</a>) announced it will introduce a next-generation LiDAR system for Level 3 autonomous driving.
What Happened: According to Reuters, Hesai Group CEO David Li shared on Monday that the company will launch its updated LiDAR system in 2026.
Li says the new system will provide autonomous driving cars with &#8220;double&#8221; the detection distance of its current best-selling model, the AT128.
No further details or technical specifications were shared following the announcement. Hesai&#8217;s customers include several EV companies like Nio Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NIO#NYSE">NIO</a>), XPeng Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XPEV#NYSE">XPEV</a>), as well as Aurora Innovation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AUR#NASDAQ">AUR</a>) and Chinese autonomous vehicle company Pony AI (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PONY#NASDAQ">PONY</a>).
Why It Matters: The news comes in as development of autonomous driving is picking up speed, with companies like Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and Alphabet Inc.'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>) Waymo among the biggest players in the segment.
Tesla had recently shared the development of its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/04/44787364/tesla-deploys-unsupervised-fsd-at-giga-texas-to-move-cars-from-factory-to-lot">autonomous driving technology</a> via a post on the social media platform X, showcasing a Model 3 and a Cybertuck utilizing Full-Self Driving (FSD.)
Tesla CEO Elon Musk also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44834045/tesla-touts-fsd-capabilities-elon-says-predicts-cars-will-soon-drive-itself-right-to-your-house">made a prediction</a> that a Tesla vehicle would be able to drive to people's houses by itself, &#8216;this year,' in a post on X. However, it&#8217;s worth noting that Musk's company still utilizes a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44529187/elon-musk-says-tesla-doesnt-need-lidar-because-people-dont-shoot-lasers-out-of-their-eyes-yet-his-ev-company-quietly-spent-over-2-million-on-the-technology-in-2024-as-china-takes-global-lead">camera-based system</a> for its FSD, unlike Waymo, which opts for a LiDAR system instead.

UnitedHealth Group Incorporated (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>) shares dipped over 22% on Thursday after the company reported worse-than-expected first-quarter results and cut its FY25 adjusted EPS guidance below estimates.

However, Eli Lilly &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>) shares staged their sharpest single-day rally in nearly 25 years Thursday, after unveiling data from a pivotal trial that could cement its leadership in a weight-loss drug market projected to more than triple in size by 2030.
On the economic data front, U.S. housing starts dipped 11.4% month-over-month to an annualized rate of 1.324 million in March.

What is CNN Business Fear &amp; Greed Index?
At a current reading of 20.9, the index remained in the &#8220;Extreme Fear&#8221; zone on Friday, versus a prior reading of 21.4.
The Fear &amp; Greed Index is a measure of the current market sentiment. It is based on the premise that higher fear exerts pressure on stock prices, while higher greed has the opposite effect. The index is calculated based on seven equal-weighted indicators. The index ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 represents maximum fear and 100 signals maximum greediness.
