When asked whether search results for Trump would ever be adjusted in response to his complaints, Pichai said, "No. Look, we have a&#8230; I can't&#8230; Today, the way Google Search works is that I cannot&#8230; No person at Google can influence the ranking algorithm."

He alleged that Google deliberately promoted negative coverage about him while giving greater visibility to favorable stories about former Vice President Kamala Harris.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin Gain After Trump Media's Planned BTC Investment, Consumer Optimism: Analyst Says This Large Crypto Is 'Best Play' In Base Portfolio At The Moment

Warren Buffett in 2020 got Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>)(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) to borrow yen at roughly 0.5 percent, bought five Japanese blue-chip trading houses paying total shareholder yields of 7-8 percent, and turned it into what investment fund manager Mohnish Pabrai describes as a &#8216;no-brainer&#8217; with &#8216;infinite return.&#8217;
What Happened: Warren Buffett marked his 90th birthday by quietly amassing just over 5 percent of each of Japan's five largest trading companies — Itochu (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ITOCY#OTC">ITOCY</a>), Marubeni (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MARUY#OTC">MARUY</a>), Mitsubishi Corp. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MTSUY#OTC">MTSUY</a>), Mitsui &amp; Co. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MITSY#OTC">MITSY</a>) and Sumitomo Corp. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSUMY#OTC">SSUMY</a>) — a position worth about $6 billion when revealed on Aug. 31 2020.
A year earlier, Berkshire tapped Tokyo's bond market for 430 billion yen ($4 billion) at coupons ranging from 0.17 percent to 1.1 percent, locking in funding costs that averaged roughly 0.5 percent.
As explained by Pabrai in a recent <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xbhKOzNBW8">podcast</a>, at purchase, the five firms offered blended dividend yields near 5 percent and were buying back stock aggressively, pushing total shareholder yield toward 8 percent. On $6 billion of stock, that meant about $480 million a year in cash returns, versus approximately $30 million of interest expense on the yen loans. The spread delivered roughly $450 million of "carry" with almost no equity at risk.

Marubeni's New-York-listed ADR, for instance, closed 2020 at $66.81 and is currently at $195 according to Benzinga Pro data — well over a 190 percent gain. Similar moves across the other four houses doubled Berkshire's original stake to roughly $12 billion by late 2024, <a href="https://www.barrons.com/articles/berkshire-hathaway-warren-buffett-yen-carry-trade-93aa8239">according</a> to Barron's analysis.
Because virtually the entire position was funded with debt, Buffett's return on the sliver of equity he did commit is mathematically &#8220;infinite&#8221; — he recouped his capital via dividends long before the share-price moonshot.
Buffett told Nikkei TV last year he was "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/23/04/31740469/warren-buffett-very-proud-of-japanese-investments-5-tokyo-listed-stocks-berkshire-has-stakes-in">very proud</a>" of the group's disciplined capital-return policies. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/44493307/warren-buffett-thinks-this-country-could-be-the-next-big-bet">Trading houses trade</a> at single-digit price-earnings multiples against steady commodity-linked cash flows, a contrast to America's stretched valuations.

Nvidia, AMC, PDD Holdings, Trump Media And Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

White House economic advisor Kevin Hassett claims that the U.S. economy narrowly avoided a recession thanks to the GOP-backed tax bill.
What Happened: Hassett says that had the &#8220;One Big, Beautiful Bill&#8221; not passed in the House, &#8220;it would have been the biggest tax hike in American history,&#8221; while appearing on CNBC&#8217;s Squawk Box on Tuesday.
&#8220;And that big tax hike… would have cut about 4% off of GDP growth. We'd have had a recession,&#8221; says the Director of the National Economic Council, while citing figures from the Council of Economic Advisers and the Congressional Budget Office to support his claim.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/25/05/45635231/trump-administration-freezes-student-visa-appointments-will-step-up-social-media-surveillance-of-applicants">Trump Administration Freezes Student Visa Appointments, Will Step Up Social Media Surveillance Of Applicants</a>
Hassett explains that during a recession, government revenue tends to fall more steeply than the GDP. &#8220;The elasticity is one and a half,&#8221; he says. &#8220;So it&#8217;s a 6% decline in revenue,&#8221; assuming a 4% drop in economic output. That would amount to &#8220;maybe about $300 billion decline in revenue just this year,&#8221; he says.
He also pushed back against claims of the economy being vulnerable, pointing to recent strength in employment figures and the moderation of inflation. &#8220;We have really strong job numbers. We&#8217;ve got inflation heading down towards the Fed&#8217;s target,&#8221; Hassett said.
Hassett believes the markets were rattled by early uncertainty over the fate of the bill. He adds that the &#8220;Senate is making a great deal of progress,&#8221; and that the &#8220;gap between the Senate and the House is not enormous.&#8221;
Hassett concludes that, &#8220;once that big, beautiful bill is passed, then I think that we're off to the races,&#8221; implying a burst of momentum in the markets, as well as the broader economy.
Why It Matters: Hassett&#8217;s comments come amid growing concerns regarding <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45600354/trumps-big-tax-bill-clears-the-house-30-year-yields-jump-to-5-15-as-bond-market-freaks">spiking Treasury yields</a>, with 30-Year notes surging past the key 5% levels last week, owing to the bill&#8217;s provisions for extensive tax cuts and increased spending.
Critics such as Lawrence McDonald of The Bear Traps Report have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45622854/trump-may-be-smoking-in-the-dynamite-shed-as-the-big-beautiful-bill-drives-bond-yields-higher">referred to the bill</a> as being akin to &#8220;smoking in the dynamite shed,&#8221; referring to the long-term implications of rates being &#8220;higher for longer,&#8221; while citing the example of the billions in unrealized losses now facing Japan&#8217;s top insurance companies.
The bill has also come under criticism for its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45535537/trumps-budget-agenda-is-reverse-robin-hood-economics-says-justin-wolferstakes-from-working-families-gives-to-the-rich">cuts to social safety nets</a> and programs, while offering extensive tax cuts to the ultra-wealthy. Economist Justin Wolfers referred to it as &#8220;just pure reverse Robin Hood&#8221; last week, owing to its regressive characteristics. 
Price Action: U.S. 10-Year Treasury yields are now at 4.46%, while the 20-Year and 30-Year notes offer yields of 4.98%, and 4.97%, respectively, marking a retreat from the peak 5% yields last week.

Trump Economic Advisor Kevin Hassett Says 'We'd Have Had A Recession' But Passing Of 'One Big Beautiful Bill' Helped Avoid The Downturn

Donald Trump Jr., the executive vice president of&nbsp;The Trump Organization, said Monday that the conglomerate is &#8220;seriously long&#8221; on Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) following the Trump Media &amp; Technology Group&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DJT#NASDAQ">DJT</a>) announcement to raise $2.5 billion to invest in the leading cryptocurrency.
What Happened:&nbsp;Trump Jr. voiced a bullish perspective at the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas, highlighting the Trump family&#8217;s investments in the space.
&#8220;We seriously long Bitcoin. We&nbsp;seriously long crypto,&#8221; the eldest child of President Donald Trump said. He described the Bitcoin treasury deal announced by TMTG hours ago as &#8220;pretty big.&#8221;
Notably, TMTG, co-founded and&nbsp;<a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44268596/trumps-net-worth-plummets-by-nearly-300m-as-djt-stock-drops-to-its-lowest-since-october" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">majority-owned by</a>&nbsp;his father, said it will use the proceeds of a $2.5 billion private offering to create a Bitcoin Treasury, making the apex cryptocurrency a &#8220;crucial&#8221; part of its reserve pile.

&#8220;There aren&#8217;t a lot of people that have done something that big or shown that level of commitment,&#8221; Trump Jr. stated.
While previous reports <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45611864/trump-media-group-reportedly-plans-to-raise-3-billion-to-buy-cryptocurrencies-borrowing-a-page-from-mstr-playbook-says-peter-schiff">claimed</a> that the treasury will hold other cryptocurrencies as well, he clarified that the investment is only for Bitcoin.
Why It Matters:&nbsp;The Trump family&#8217;s foray into the world of digital assets is not new. They have previously made <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/03/44560290/trump-family-to-dive-into-bitcoin-mining-after-defi-meme-coin-projects">strategic bets on Bitcoin mining</a> along with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45160707/eric-trump-says-world-libertys-stablecoin-will-be-used-to-close-a-2-billion-deal-dollar-token-to-also-get-integrated-with-justin-suns-tron-blockchain">ties</a> to the decentralized finance platform World Liberty Financial. 
However, their increasing investments in the industry, combined with Trump&#8217;s support for the sector, have sparked a political storm, with critics such as Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45399468/elizabeth-warren-calls-out-trump-linked-stablecoin-as-a-national-security-risk-hes-cashing-in-on-foreign-crypto-deals">alleging a conflict of interest</a>.
Price Action: Trump Media stock rose 2.39% in after-hours trading after closing 10.4% lower at $23.05 on Tuesday, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA.." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Donald Trump Jr. Says We Are 'Seriously Long' Bitcoin And After TMTG Reveals Treasury Strategy

On Tuesday, the Donald Trump administration reportedly halted the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45578777/trump-administration-revokes-harvards-ability-to-enroll-international-students-kristi-noem-alleges-coordination-with-chinese-communist-party">scheduling of new student</a> and exchange visitor visa appointments as it prepares to roll out expanded social media vetting.
What Happened: According to an internal State Department cable obtained by Reuters, the directive, issued by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, instructs U.S. embassies and consulates to pause new appointments for F, M, and J visas while officials conduct a review of screening procedures.
&#8220;The Department is conducting a review of existing operations and processes for screening and vetting of student and exchange visitor (F, M, J) visa applicants,&#8221; the cable reads. &#8220;Based on that review, [it] plans to issue guidance on expanded social media vetting for all such applicants.&#8221;
See Also:&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.com/25/04/44816653/canada-eases-retaliatory-tariffs-on-us-goods-as-trade-tensions-thaw-under-softer-trump-stance-stocks-react" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Canada Eases Retaliatory Tariffs On US Goods As Trade Tensions Thaw Under Softer Trump Stance: Stocks React</a>
While previously scheduled appointments may proceed, available slots not yet filled should be removed, the cable advises. A senior State Department official confirmed the order's authenticity, the report added.
Social media vetting refers to the review of a student's online activity across platforms such Meta Platforms, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) Facebook, Instagram, Elon Musk's X (formerly Twitter), Reddit Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RDDT#NYSE">RDDT</a>), ByteDance-owned TikTok and YouTube, a subsidiary of 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>) Google to help determine their eligibility to study at universities in the U.S. State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce declined to address the cable directly but underscored the administration's broader national security priorities.
"We will continue to use every tool we can to assess who it is that&#8217;s coming here, whether they are students or otherwise," Bruce said at a press briefing, the report said.
Why It's Important: On Tuesday, hundreds of demonstrators — including students and faculty at Harvard University — gathered on campus to show solidarity with international students and to oppose the Trump administration's reported attempts to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44916659/harvard-sues-trump-administration-for-attempting-to-withhold-billions-in-federal-grants-over-alleged-antisemitism-response">withdraw federal funding</a> from the school, the report noted.
Last week, the Trump administration took steps to strip Harvard University of its authority to admit international students — a group that accounts for roughly 6,800 individuals, or about 27% of the school's total enrollment.
Administration officials have stated that student visa and green card holders could face deportation for <a href="https://benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45185889/trump-harvards-not-a-school-its-a-political-entity-that-should-be-taxed">expressing support for Palestinians</a> or criticizing Israel's actions in the Gaza conflict, framing such views as harmful to U.S. foreign policy and labeling them as pro-Hamas.
Critics argue this stance undermines First Amendment protections, calling it a direct <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44855064/trump-administration-asks-irs-to-revoke-harvards-tax-exempt-status-after-president-accuses-ivy-league-university-of-pushing-sickness">attack on free speech</a>.

Trump Administration Freezes Student Visa Appointments, Will Step Up Social Media Surveillance Of Applicants

On Tuesday, Cathie Wood-led Ark Invest executed notable trades involving NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>), and Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>). These trades come amid significant market developments and strategic shifts, capturing the attention of investors and analysts alike.
The Tesla Trade
Ark Invest made a significant decision to sell shares of Tesla on Tuesday. The trade involved the sale of 27,377 shares through the ARK Innovation ETF (BATS: ARKK). This move comes as Tesla&#8217;s stock experienced a 6.94% surge, reaching $362.89 for the day. Ark&#8217;s Tesla transaction was valued at $9.9 million.
On Tuesday, Elon Musk emphasized his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45623941/tesla-stock-rises-as-elon-musk-pledges-renewed-focus-on-company-whats-going-on">renewed commitment</a> to Tesla in a social media post, stating he is now &#8220;spending 24/7 at work,&#8221; which has sparked investor interest.
The Nvidia Trade
Ark Invest also made a strategic purchase of NVIDIA shares, acquiring 21,504 shares through the ARKK ETF and an additional 13,039 shares via the ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKW#BATS">ARKW</a>). This acquisition occurs as Nvidia prepares to release its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/05/45629981/nvidia-amd-shares-climb-as-tariff-delay-boosts-tech-sector-whats-going-on">first-quarter earnings</a>, with expectations of an EPS of $0.88 and revenue of $43.54 billion. Nvidia&#8217;s stock has seen a 20.75% increase over the past month, driven by strong technical indicators and anticipation of its earnings report. The purchase by Ark Invest highlights confidence in Nvidia&#8217;s position as a leader in AI technology, despite geopolitical challenges.
On Tuesday, Nvidia stock rose 3.2% for the day at $135.50. The stock purchase by Wood was valued at $4.7 million.
The AMD Trade
Ark Invest&#8217;s interest in AMD was evident with the purchase of 50,837 shares through the ARKK ETF and 46,231 shares via the ARKW ETF. This move aligns with AMD&#8217;s growing presence in the AI sector, positioning itself as a formidable competitor to Nvidia. The recent delay in tariffs on European Union imports by President Donald Trump has provided a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/05/45629981/nvidia-amd-shares-climb-as-tariff-delay-boosts-tech-sector-whats-going-on">boost to AMD&#8217;s stock</a>, contributing to a broader tech sector rally.
For the day, AMD stock rose 3.85% to $114.56, making Ark&#8217;s purchase worth $11.1 million.
Other Key Trades:
<ul class="wp-block-list">

Cathie Wood Dumps $9.9M Tesla Despite Musk's '24/7' Pledge, Loads Up on Nvidia Before Earnings

Autel Energy, a Chinese <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42762224/bev-market-share-will-increase-across-us-china-europe-in-2025-says-sp-global-mobility">electric vehicle</a> charging startup with a growing footprint in the U.S., is facing bipartisan calls for federal investigation as national security concerns over data access and grid vulnerability intensify.&nbsp;
Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) and Rep. John Moolenaar (R-MI) formally requested in a <a href="https://selectcommitteeontheccp.house.gov/sites/evo-subsites/selectcommitteeontheccp.house.gov/files/evo-media-document/05.19.25_Autel%20Congressional%20Investigation%20letter_FINAL.pdf">letter</a> dated May 19 to the Defense and Commerce departments to assess the company's ties to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44755999/new-intel-ceo-lip-bu-tan-linked-to-hundreds-of-chinese-tech-firms-including-companies-tied-to-chinas-military-report">Chinese military</a> and consider adding it to federal blacklists. The lawmakers allege Autel Energy may pose a significant threat to American consumer data and infrastructure integrity.

</ul>
This marks another flashpoint in the ongoing U.S.-China tech rivalry, where control over emerging technologies like AI, chips, and clean energy systems has become central to geopolitical strategy, a<a href="https://www.belfercenter.org/research-analysis/another-technology-race-us-china-quantum-computing-landscape"> report</a> from Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs published on May 13 says.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Lawmakers Target Autel's Ties To Chinese Military Through Corporate Parent</h2>
Autel Energy is a subsidiary of Autel Intelligent Transportation, which also owns Autel Robotics, a drone manufacturer previously sanctioned by both the Commerce and Defense departments for its alleged military affiliations in China, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/stock-market-today-tariffs-trade-war-05-20-2025/card/u-s-lawmakers-call-for-probe-into-chinese-ev-charging-startup-pBIuqBNsjMmAyfGBizRr">The Wall Street Journal</a> reports.
In their letter, Blackburn and Moolenaar said that Autel Energy&#8217;s integration into U.S. charging infrastructure could expose private consumer data and sensitive energy grid access to foreign influence. According to The Journal, the call for investigation is part of a broader legislative push to curtail Chinese access to American tech ecosystems.

Moolenaar, who chairs the House select committee on China, and Blackburn emphasized in the letter the potential for Autel's EV chargers to collect sensitive driver data and connect to critical infrastructure, posing cybersecurity and national security risks.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Autel's U.S. Footprint Expands Through Partnerships And Local Production</h2>
Despite its Chinese parentage, Autel Energy has made strategic moves to embed itself within North American markets. According to The Journal, the company launched production operations at a new facility in North Carolina in 2023 and entered partnerships with charging networks like ChargeSmartEV and Red E Charge in key states such as New York, Massachusetts and Michigan.
Red E CEO Abass El-Hage told The Journal that the company sources hardware from a range of manufacturers and maintains strict cybersecurity testing protocols.
An Autel Energy spokesperson stated the company has direct investments and partnerships in North America, The Journal says. Lawmakers, however, raised concerns about its ties to Autel Robotics and its Chinese parent firm, citing potential national security risks, according to the letter.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Growing Tech Tensions Drive Clampdown On Cross-Border Access</h2>
According to the Belfer Center report, the U.S.-China tech standoff has steadily escalated over the past three years, with both countries implementing export restrictions, blacklists, and sanctions involving advanced chips, rare-earth materials, and AI hardware.
Now, lawmakers appear increasingly focused on EV infrastructure as a strategic concern, The Journal reports. As Washington tightens its grip on foreign tech infiltration, Autel Energy may become the next high-profile company to face operational constraints or outright bans.
The outcome of this investigation could shape future policy toward international EV players and how America secures its charging networks in a rapidly electrifying economy.&nbsp;

These companies target Microsoft Azure cloud computing infrastructure clients to sell AI models, the Financial Times <a target="_blank" href="https://www.ft.com/content/9f6225c5-38e7-46a1-a920-e05a9a8df319" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a> on Sunday.
Microsoft held its annual Build conference in Seattle, where it showcased a coding &#8220;agent,&#8221; among others.
Microsoft integrated OpenAI models into Microsoft products, such as the Copilot AI assistant. It also plans to offer OpenAI rivals Anthropic&#8217;s Claude Code and AI&#8217;s Grok AI models to its cloud computing customers.

Microsoft chief Satya Nadella said the technology industry was in the middle of &#8216;another platform shift,&#8217; drawing parallels with the transformation associated with the Internet.
OpenAI chief Sam Altman, Musk, and Nvidia chief Jensen Huang made virtual appearances during the conference.
After signing a Microsoft Azure Foundry deal, Musk said Microsoft customer feedback would influence xAI&#8217;s Grok models. Huang also announced its collaboration with Microsoft for an AI supercomputer.
Altman announced deep integration between its Codex coding agent and Microsoft GitHub&#8217;s computer programming tool.
Goldman Sachs analyst Kash Rangan told the Financial Times that Microsoft is the AI ringleader, indicating that it is the top platform and catalyst for making models work.
Microsoft stock surged 8% year-to-date, in contrast with the decline of the &#8220;Magnificent Seven&#8221; U.S. Big Tech stocks like Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), and Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>), as President Donald Trump&#8217;s tariff policies weighed on the U.S. stock market.
Amazon and Google also adopted Microsoft&#8217;s similar strategy. However, analysts vouched for Microsoft&#8217;s moat, backed by its suite of AI offerings.
Last week, Rangan said Microsoft Cloud <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/05/45519467/microsofts-4-trillion-moment-is-now-in-sight-goldman-sachs" rel="noreferrer noopener">will generate over</a> $300 billion in revenue by fiscal year 2029, up from under $140 billion at present. Microsoft is using the same strategy of creating tiered pricing for its AI tools, which will lead to steady growth and stronger margins, according to the analyst.
As products like Microsoft 365 Copilot and Dynamics AI become more powerful, businesses may be more willing to pay for them, Rangan added.
Price Action: MSFT stock closed higher by 2.33% to $460.69 on Tuesday.

What Happened: Neuralink&#8217;s valuation surged from&nbsp;$3.5 billion in late 2023,&nbsp;according to Pitchbook, to its current $9 billion status, as <a href="https://www.semafor.com/article/05/27/2025/elon-musks-neuralink-raises-fresh-cash-at-9b-valuation">reported</a> by Semafor. 
The leap follows the successful implantation of brain chips in three individuals, including a non-verbal man with ALS who recently demonstrated the chip&#8217;s capabilities <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1916645878909321397">in a video</a> shared on Musk&#8217;s social media platform, X.
