Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk revealed that both Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and U.S. President Donald Trump were impressed by the company&#8217;s Optimus humanoid robot during a demonstration in Riyadh, where the robot danced to &#8220;YMCA.&#8221;
What Happened: &#8220;We just showed several of our Tesla Optimus robots to His Highness and President Trump, and I think they were very impressed,&#8221; Musk said at a Saudi economic forum. &#8220;In fact, one of our robots did the Trump dance, which I thought was pretty cool.&#8221;
The &#8220;Trump dance&#8221; refers to a signature dance move Trump has performed at rallies, often to the song &#8220;YMCA.&#8221;
The demonstration comes as Tesla officially begins selling its vehicles in Saudi Arabia, with a launch event showcasing its global lineup, including the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44728787/tesla-to-make-saudi-arabia-debut-amid-infrastructure-challenges?utm_source=chatgpt.com">Cybercab and Optimus robots</a>. 
The expansion marks a significant shift in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44728787/tesla-to-make-saudi-arabia-debut-amid-infrastructure-challenges?utm_source=chatgpt.com">relations between Musk and Saudi Arabia&#8217;s Public Investment Fund</a>, which were previously strained during Tesla&#8217;s &#8220;funding secured&#8221; controversy in 2018.

Musk predicted a future where humanoid robots would become ubiquitous, comparing them to &#8220;personal C-3PO or R2-D2&#8221; assistants from Star Wars. &#8220;My prediction for humanoid robots is that ultimately there will be tens of billions,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I think everyone will want to have their own personal robot.&#8221;
The billionaire entrepreneur emphasized the economic potential of robotics, suggesting they could create &#8220;an economy 10 times the size of the current global economy&#8221; and lead to &#8220;universal high income.&#8221;
Why It Matters: Despite Musk&#8217;s optimism, Tesla faces challenges in Optimus production. During the company&#8217;s recent earnings call, Musk acknowledged supply chain constraints, including <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44998310/tesla-optimus-robot-hit-by-chinas-rare-earths-crackdown-elon-musk-says-thousands-may-be-ready-by-yea?utm_source=chatgpt.com">China&#8217;s new export restrictions on rare earth magnets</a> essential for the robot&#8217;s actuators.
The Saudi expansion aligns with the kingdom&#8217;s ambitious plans to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44728787/tesla-to-make-saudi-arabia-debut-amid-infrastructure-challenges?utm_source=chatgpt.com">produce 500,000 battery-powered vehicles</a> by 2030.

Warren Buffett Shows How Patience Pays: 98% Of His $160 Billion Wealth Came After Turning 65, Thanks The Power Of 'Compound Interest'

U.S. Health Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr. praised the Food and Drug Administration&#8217;s decision to begin removing fluoride supplements for children from the market, calling the move &#8220;long overdue.&#8221;
What Happened: The FDA announced on Tuesday that it&#8217;s initiating a process to eliminate these supplements, primarily given to children at high risk of dental cavities. The agency stated these products lack FDA approval and have been shown to alter the gut microbiome.
&#8220;Ending the use of ingestible fluoride is long overdue,&#8221; Kennedy said. Since taking office, Kennedy <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41704387/robert-kennedy-jr-says-he-will-advise-all-us-water-systems-to-remove-fluoride-on-day-1-of-trump-admi">has opposed adding fluoride to tap water</a>, claiming, without conclusive scientific consensus, that U.S. fluoridation levels are linked to various health issues, including cancer.
The FDA has set October 31 as its target date for completing safety reviews and taking appropriate action following a public comment period.

Why It Matters: Dental health organizations promptly contested the move. American Dental Hygienists&#8216; Association President Erin Haley-Hitz said, according to Reuters, &#8220;There is no scientific evidence that fluoride at the recommended low levels affects gut microbiota.&#8221; She warned that removing fluoride resources could worsen oral health disparities in underserved communities.
The American Dental Association reaffirmed its support for community water fluoridation, citing studies showing it reduces tooth decay by over 25% in both children and adults, even with fluoride available from other sources like toothpaste.
This federal action follows Utah&#8217;s landmark decision in May to become the first U.S. state to ban fluoride in public water systems. Kennedy previously stated plans to direct the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to stop recommending community fluoridation nationwide.
President Donald Trump, who appointed Kennedy as Health Secretary after winning the 2024 election, had earlier expressed support for Kennedy&#8217;s fluoride removal initiatives, stating last year, &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41704387/robert-kennedy-jr-says-he-will-advise-all-us-water-systems-to-remove-fluoride-on-day-1-of-trump-admi?utm_source=chatgpt.com">it sounds OK to me.</a>&#8220;

Clarivate Announced The Incorporation Of Pathway Maps In OFF-X, A Cutting-edge Translational Safety Intelligence Solution

Prominent financial analyst Gordon Johnson has ignited discussion on social media, suggesting that a potential &#8220;Liberation Day 2.0&#8221; – an event triggering a significant equity market downturn – could be imminent.
What Happened: The CEO and Founder at GLJ Research, LLC, Johnson&#8217;s comments come as the yield on the 30-year U.S. Treasury note edges closer to the critical 5% mark, coinciding with a weakening U.S. dollar.
In a series of posts on X, Johnson engaged with another financial commentator, Capital Flows, regarding the interpretation of rising interest rates. While acknowledging the argument that higher 30-year yields could signal increased U.S. growth and inflation, Johnson questioned the concurrent decline of the Dollar Index.
&#8220;If rates are rising, while the DXY is falling, is that not indicative of stagflation, and money leaving the US?&#8221; Johnson queried. He also challenged the comparison of rising German 30-year yields, attributing it to a &#8220;repricing of risk&#8221; following the new government, given Germany&#8217;s relatively low debt-to-GDP ratio.
Johnson then drew parallels to a past market event. He pointed to the confluence of factors, including the previous administration&#8217;s trade policies with China and the current Republican party&#8217;s proposed budget, which he says would lead to a &#8220;$4tn increase in deficit.&#8221;
According to Johnson, these factors have contributed to the surge in yields to levels that previously prompted former Treasury official Scott Bessent to implement &#8220;Liberation Day 1.0,&#8221; an action that significantly spooked the stock market.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">4/5&#8230; do you not think Liberation Day 2.0 is coming&#8230; &amp; soon (i.e., an event that will crash equities)? That is, the bond mkt has shown it can break the Trump admin. at around a 5% yield on the 30yr; and guess what&#8230; we&#39;re nearly there. So, you think, with &gt;$8tn in&#8230; <a href="https://t.co/aVabn0ScoG">pic.twitter.com/aVabn0ScoG</a>
&mdash; Gordon Johnson (@GordonJohnson19) <a href="https://twitter.com/GordonJohnson19/status/1922454433884979701?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 14, 2025</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
His concern centers on the idea that the bond market previously demonstrated its power to pressure the prior administration when 30-year yields approached 5%. And that is when the Donald Trump-led administration announced a 90-day pause in reciprocal tariffs.
With yields nearing that threshold again, Johnson questioned whether current Treasury officials can allow equity markets to continue their upward trajectory, pushing Treasury yields higher and potentially jeopardizing the refinancing of the over $8 trillion in US debt due in 2025.

Why It Matters: As of the publication of this piece, the 30-year Treasury yielded 4.91%, while the 10-year yields were at 4.46% and the 2-year Treasuries yielded 3.99%.
After Tuesday, the S&amp;P 500 index turned positive for the year, up 0.31% year-to-date. Meanwhile, Dow Jones was still down -0.59% YTD, and Nasdaq 100 was up 1.06%.
The Dollar Index spot was 0.07% lower at the 100.9300 level. Whereas, the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), which track the S&amp;P 500 index and Nasdaq 100 index, respectively, ended on a positive note on Tuesday.

Standard Chartered&#8217;s Head of Digital Assets Research, Geoffrey Kendrick, recently revised his Bitcoin price forecast, suggesting his earlier $120,000 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45281333/bitcoin-120000-price-target-may-be-too-low-says-standard-chartered-i-apologize">second quarter target may prove too conservative</a>.
&#8220;The dominant story for Bitcoin has changed again,&#8221; Kendrick noted in a client note earlier this month. &#8220;It is now all about flows.&#8221;
Luke Boland, Head of Fintech for ASEAN, South Asia &amp; GCNA at Standard Chartered, emphasized the bank&#8217;s commitment to the digital asset space: &#8220;As institutional demand for digital assets continues to grow, we&#8217;re proud to provide the banking infrastructure that enables firms like FalconX to deliver world-class trading and financing solutions.&#8221;

The Paris prosecutor&#8217;s office has handed over the investigation to the Brigade de Répression du Banditisme (Brigade for the Suppression of Banditry), a special police unit within the French Ministry of the Interior. The unit had recently investigated another kidnapping involving the father of a young online poker player and cryptocurrency entrepreneur.

Cryptocurrency Tycoon's Daughter Escapes Kidnapping Attempt: Viral Video Captures Terrifying Ordeal

Senior Democratic lawmaker Sen.&nbsp;Elizabeth Warren&nbsp;(D-Mass.) called President Donald Trump-backed stablecoin a potential threat to national security and a conduit for corruption on Tuesday.
What Happened: Warren, a known cryptocurrency critic, took to X to express her concerns about the dollar-pegged cryptocurrency USD1, currently available on Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) and BNB Chain (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/bnb/usd">BNB</a>). 
&#8220;Trump's stablecoin is shady and a national security risk,&#8221; she said. &#8220;He's cashing in on foreign crypto deals—and weakening guardrails that protect our advanced technology.&#8221;
Warren urged the Senate not to enable this &#8220;corruption&#8221; by passing the GENIUS Act, popularly known as the stablecoin bill, without necessary amendments.

Interestingly, Warren&#8217;s post included a <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/05/13/trump-stablecoin-crypto-divest-corruption-dems">link </a>to an Axios report revealing that Senate Democrats, including herself, had asked Trump to divest from the stablecoin before his Middle East trip.

Elizabeth Warren Calls Out Trump-Linked Stablecoin As A National Security Risk: 'He's Cashing In On Foreign Crypto Deals'

Raymond James has initiated coverage on Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>) with an Outperform rating. This move comes in light of Supermicro&#8217;s strong standing in the AI-optimized infrastructure sector and its swift revenue growth.
What Happened: AI platforms constitute approximately 70% of Supermicro&#8217;s revenue, positioning it as a dominant player among branded server vendors. Raymond James has set a $41 price target for the company, projecting Supermicro&#8217;s FY26 revenue at $29.8 billion with an EPS of $3.03, indicating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 25%, <a href="https://in.investing.com/news/stock-market-news/raymond-james-initiates-smci-coverage-with-outperform-rating-on-ai-tailwinds-4826948">reported</a> Investing.com.
Raymond James highlighted that Supermicro has effectively carved out a niche for itself and &#8220;positioned itself in a sweet spot&#8221; between traditional branded IT vendors such as Dell (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DELL#NYSE">DELL</a>), Hewlett-Packard Enterprise (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HPE#NYSE">HPE</a>) and contract manufacturers like Quanta.
The firm noted that while Supermicro has shown impressive growth, its valuation was impacted by past performance inconsistencies and internal control issues, which caused delayed SEC filings and auditor changes. These problems have since been resolved with no misconduct found.

Why It Matters:&nbsp;Supermicro&#8217;s financial performance has been<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45236823/super-micro-computer-stock-slips-after-q3-results-uncertainty-and-tariffs-may-have-a-short-term-impact-ceo-says"> under scrutiny</a>, especially following its Q3 results in 2025. The company reported quarterly earnings of 31 cents per share, missing the analyst consensus estimate of 50 cents by 38%. Its quarterly revenue of $4.6 billion also fell short of the analyst consensus estimate of $5.42 billion by 15.1%.
CEO Charles Liang said the company isn&#8217;t providing fiscal 2026 guidance due to tariff-related uncertainty, noting that "economic uncertainty and tariff impacts may have a short-term impact,&#8221; reported CNBC.
Despite these financial setbacks, Raymond James remains optimistic about Supermicro&#8217;s future, particularly due to its robust position in the AI-optimized infrastructure sector. The firm&#8217;s bullish stance is further supported by Supermicro&#8217;s plans to expand&nbsp;its U.S. manufacturing to produce&nbsp;1,500 liquid-cooled AI racks per&nbsp;month.
SMCI stock surged 16.02% to close at $38.89 on Tuesday. On a year-to-date basis, it soared over 29%.
SMCI holds a momentum rating of 40.25% and a growth rating of 93.38%, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SMCI" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga&#8217;s Proprietary Edge Rankings</a>.

After Robinhood Markets Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>) announced the acquisition of a Canadian cryptocurrency platform, WonderFi Technologies Inc. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WONDF#OTC">WONDF</a>), renowned entrepreneur and investor Kevin O&#8217;Leary expressed his excitement over the deal.
What Happened: O&#8217;Leary, who was one of the founding shareholders of WonderFi, said in an X post that he &#8220;couldn't be more excited&#8221; by this announcement.
According to the company statement, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45372870/robinhood-to-acquire-canadas-wonderfi-for-178m-all-cash-deal">purchase price</a> of $0.26 per share represents a 41% premium over WonderFi&#8217;s closing price on May 12 and a 71% premium over its 30-day volume-weighted average price.
O&#8217;Leary stated that this deal is going to transform cross-border trading. &#8220;We're finally connecting crypto between Canada and the U.S. right before stablecoin regulations hit. FX trading is about to get a major upgrade,&#8221; he said.
He also added that the deal will lead to &#8220;No more outrageous bank fees. You'll be able to move money between your Canadian and U.S. accounts instantly and at a fraction of the cost.&#8221;
