Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) will take a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44828742/nvidia-stock-is-tumbling-after-hours-heres-why">multibillion-dollar hit tied</a> to U.S. export restrictions, but a top analyst says the long-term story remains intact.
What Happened: On Tuesday, Nvidia said it would take a $5.5 billion charge this quarter related to halted shipments of its H20 graphics processing units to China and several other markets.
The announcement comes after the U.S. government informed the company on April 9 that it would now require a license to export those chips.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>, shares of Nvidia fell 6.33% in after-hours trading on Tuesday.

Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives weighed in on the development, urging investors to maintain perspective.
"The Nvidia China restriction news that just hit will put pressure on shares and it's a concern…BUT this is all part of the high game of poker going on between U.S. and China," he said in a post on X, formerly Twitter.
"I am not overly concerned by this news despite the headline," he added. "Nvidia remains caught in the tariff spiderweb between [the] U.S. and China. Street knows this. Need to look thru this period of vol and news and see [the] forest thru trees. Nvidia only chip in world fueling AI Revolution..demand."

Why It's Important: The latest Nvidia licensing mandate seems to mark another escalation in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44806095/as-xi-jinping-urges-vietnam-to-stand-against-unilateral-bullying-trump-labels-the-meeting-a-plan-to-screw-the-united-states-of-america">ongoing trade tensions with China</a>. While President Donald Trump recently held off on imposing reciprocal tariffs on most nations, he increased tariffs specifically targeting China.
In response, China retaliated over the weekend with tariffs as high as 125% on U.S. products.
Earlier, Goldman Sachs warned that a potential U.S.-China decoupling could spark a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44787496/goldman-sachs-warns-25-trillion-sell-off-in-the-extreme-event-of-us-china-decoupling-as-scott-bessent-says-everything-is-on-the-table">massive $2.5 trillion market sell-off</a>.
In February, it was reported that Chinese tech heavyweights Tencent Holdings (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TCEHY#OTC">TCEHY</a>), Alibaba Group Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>), and ByteDance have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43931074/chinese-tech-giants-like-tencent-alibaba-and-bytedance-rush-to-buy-nvidias-h20-ai-chips-as-deepseeks-low-cost-models-fuel-massive-demand-surge">ramped up their orders</a> for Nvidia's H20 AI chips, driven by soaring demand for AI computing power fueled by the rise of DeepSeek's cost-effective AI models.
The DeepSeek R1 AI model, reportedly developed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/43256425/nvidia-says-deepseek-an-illustration-of-how-new-ai-models-can-be-created-while-being-export-control-compliant-amid-600-billion-market-value-plunge">for under $6 million</a>, has outperformed leading U.S. models—including those from OpenAI.
In March, Chinese <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44519562/nvidia-faces-fresh-china-setback-as-chip-shortages-and-sanctions-disrupt-supply">server manufacturer H3C flagged</a> a potential shortage of Nvidia&#8217;s H20 chips. The company also warned that supply plans beyond April 20 remain uncertain due to shifting raw material policies, logistical disruptions, and manufacturing difficulties.
Price Action: Nvidia shares are down 18.88% so far this year but have still climbed 30.47% over the past 12 months, as per <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.
According to Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings, the company holds a strong growth score of 94.82%. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Click here to compare</a> it with Alibaba, Tencent, and other major players.

Nvidia, ASML, Interactive Brokers, Boeing, Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

Former President Joe Biden delivered a speech in Chicago on Tuesday, criticizing the Trump administration for its approach to Social Security without naming his successor, Donald Trump.
What Happened: Speaking to about 200 attendees at the Advocates, Counselors, and Representatives for the Disabled conference, Biden accused the administration of damaging the Social Security Administration by cutting jobs and services, <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/04/15/biden-speech-donald-trump-00292450">reported</a> Politico.
&#8220;They're shooting first and aiming later,&#8221; said Biden. He said this was causing &#8220;a lot of needless pain and sleepless nights.&#8221;
Biden emphasized the importance of Social Security, calling it a &#8220;sacred promise,&#8221; and warned that the administration&#8217;s actions have endangered benefits for millions of seniors. His remarks coincided with the &#8220;Social Security Day of Action,&#8221; a protest against perceived threats to the program.
During the 30-minute speech, Biden shared personal stories from his upbringing and political career, using familiar phrases like &#8220;folks&#8221; and &#8220;I mean it sincerely.&#8221; The event marked his first major public appearance since leaving the White House and was held near a previous campaign fundraiser location.
Despite the White House dismissing his speech as &#8220;embarrassing,&#8221; Biden&#8217;s aides suggest he will continue to engage on issues like Social Security. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) emphasized the importance of Biden&#8217;s involvement in the fight against the administration&#8217;s policies.
The official Social Security X account accused Biden of &#8220;lying to Americans.&#8221; In a post on Tuesday, the Social Security Administration said, &#8220;President Trump has repeatedly promised to protect Social Security and ensure higher-take home pay for seniors by ending taxation on Social Security benefits.&#8221;
<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">Former President Joe Biden is lying to Americans. Here are the facts: 1&#xFE0F;&#x20E3;President Trump has repeatedly promised to protect Social Security and ensure higher-take home pay for seniors by ending taxation on Social Security benefits.

<figcaption class="wp-element-caption">In the thread, the administration said that none of the field offices had been closed and half of the technology staff had not been laid off. Attacking Biden further, the administration said that an Inspector General report released while Biden was president found $72 billion in &#8220;improper payments&#8221; from fiscal years 2015 through 2022.</figcaption></figure>

Why It Matters:. Recent political discourse has heightened concerns about social security&#8217;s future. The establishment of the Department of Government Efficiency under the Trump administration has sparked anxiety among seniors. DOGE, tasked with cost-cutting, has led to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44775706/when-i-hear-our-politicians-say-were-not-gonna-touch-social-security-i-dont-believe-them-seniors-are-worried-about-doge-changes">significant job cuts and reorganization</a> within the federal government.
Additionally, recent updates to Social Security rules, effective April 2025, are reshaping benefits for millions. These changes <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44682363/aprils-social-security-changes-how-new-rules-could-affect-your-check">include larger checks</a> and new identification requirements, impacting retirees, survivors, and those on spousal benefits. 
Separately, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) has advocated for stricter Medicaid eligibility, emphasizing the need to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/25/04/44783620/speaker-mike-johnson-says-us-must-eliminate-people-on-medicaid-who-are-not-actually-eligible-to-be-there">remove ineligible individuals</a> from the program. This stance aligns with broader Republican efforts to reduce federal spending while safeguarding entitlement programs for qualified recipients.

Joe Biden Calls Social Security A 'Sacred Promise,' Slams Trump Administration's Efforts To Damage The Program: 'They're Shooting First And Aiming Later'

President Donald Trump plans to appoint Gary Shapley as the acting commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service, according to a report. 
What Happened: Shapley provided whistleblower testimony to Republicans, claiming partisan bias hindered the investigation of President Joe Biden&#8217;s son, Hunter Biden. His appointment follows the resignation of the former commissioner, who opposed a data-sharing agreement with the Homeland Security Department. The IRS and the White House have not yet commented on Shapley&#8217;s expected elevation, <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2025/04/15/politics/acting-irs-commissioner-hunter-biden-whistleblower-gary-shapley/index.html">reported</a> CNN.
A Treasury spokesperson praised Shapely for his &#8220;honesty and devotion,&#8221; and said, &#8220;He'll be a great asset to the IRS as we rethink and reform this crucial organization,&#8221; according to the report.
Shapley&#8217;s rise is notable, as he went public in 2023 with allegations that the Justice Department <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/07/33297231/irs-whistleblowers-accuse-doj-of-interference-in-hunter-biden-probe-the-us-attorney-was-constantly-h">obstructed efforts to investigate</a> Hunter Biden&#8217;s tax issues. Recently, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent praised Shapley as a truth-seeker capable of reforming the IRS. Shapley would be the fourth person to lead the IRS this year, as Trump&#8217;s pick for full-time commissioner, former Missouri Rep. Billy Long, awaits Senate confirmation.
Some former IRS officials expressed dismay over Shapley&#8217;s potential appointment, with one recently departed senior official reportedly stating, &#8220;Glad I&#8217;m not there anymore,&#8221; indicating potential challenges ahead for the agency.

Why It Matters: The Trump administration has been vocal about its intentions to overhaul the tax system. In March, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick revealed Trump&#8217;s goal to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44295365/trump-wants-no-tax-for-anybody-making-less-than-150000-a-year-says-howard-lutnick-thats-what-im-working-for">eliminate taxes for individuals</a> earning less than $150,000 annually. Moreover, National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett stated that Trump aims to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/25/03/44205662/president-trump-wants-to-replace-income-tax-with-tariffs-national-economic-council-director-kevin-hassett-says">replace income tax revenue</a> with tariffs.

Trump To Reportedly Appoint Hunter Biden Whisteblower Gary Shapley As Acting IRS Commissioner: 'He'll Be A Great Asset'

Walmart is rewriting the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/01/43162437/walmart-boosts-regional-manager-pay-as-retailers-struggle-to-find-leaders">rules on retail leadership pay</a> — and it's not subtle.
In a sweeping compensation overhaul, the retail giant boosted total potential pay for its market managers to the neighborhood of $620,000 a year, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/retail/walmart-regional-manager-pay-raise-867776ed?mod=latest_headlines">The Wall Street Journal</a> reported in January. That's nearly five times more than the role's former $130,000 base salary — and it's sending a clear message: Walmart wants its top people to think like owners, not just employees.
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>Deloitte's fastest-growing software company partners with Amazon, Walmart &amp; Target – <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">Many are rushing to grab 4,000 of its pre-IPO shares for just $0.26/share!</a></li>
<li>Hasbro, MGM, and Skechers trust this AI marketing firm — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/rad-intel">invest pre-IPO from $0.60 per share now</a>.</li>
</ul>
These market managers aren't your average supervisors. Each one oversees around a dozen stores and the store managers running them. Walmart has roughly 440 market managers across the U.S., and all of them are set to benefit from the upgraded pay structure starting in fiscal year 2026.
The revamped package includes:
<ul>
<li>A base salary jump from $130,000 to $160,000</li>
<li>Stock grants rising from $75,000 to $100,000 annually</li>
<li>A 100% bonus potential, up from 90% before</li>
</ul>
Altogether, top performers can now land in the $420,000 to $620,000 range — with $620,000 sitting at the high end, depending on results.
Trending: It&#8217;s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $250 million in art — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">this alternative asset has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 since 1995, delivering an average annual return of 11.4%. Here&#8217;s how everyday investors are getting started.</a>
CEO John Furner laid out the vision during the <a href="https://qz.com/walmart-600000-pay-boost-store-managers-trump-tariffs-c-1851774345">National Retail Federation's State of Retail &amp; the Consumer 2025 event</a>. He emphasized Walmart's push to get managers thinking and operating like true stakeholders:
"What we did last year was make managers feel like owners," he said. "This includes shareholding, which has positively impacted their approach to the company's profits and losses."
In other words, paychecks now come with real skin in the game.
The strategy reflects a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/25/03/44226602/walmart-ceo-says-consumers-changing-spending-due-to-inflation-egg-prices-the-money-runs-out-before-the-month-is-gone-people-are-buying-smaller-pack-sizes">bigger shift at Walmart</a>, which has been steadily hiking compensation across the board — from hourly associates now eligible for bonuses up to $1,000, to store managers pulling in over $400,000 with stock options. The company says this is all part of a broader investment in talent and leadership that's been in motion for over a decade.
See Also: Can you guess how many Americans successfully retire with $1,000,000 saved?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/1milsaved"> The percentage may shock you</a>.
Industry analysts see the logic.
These managers are running very big businesses and they are often "serving millions of customers every week," Neil Saunders, managing director at GlobalData, <a href="https://www.retaildive.com/news/walmart-raises-market-manager-salary-pay-six-hundred-twenty-thousand/738343/">told Retail Dive</a>. "Walmart needs good people in these roles to deliver on its ambitions and to drive growth."
And judging by Walmart's performance — including $115 billion in U.S. sales and <a href="https://www.retaildive.com/news/walmart-raises-guidance-boosted-by-strong-revenue-e-commerce-growth/733347/">22% e-commerce growth last quarter</a> — the plan might be working.
For a company that employs <a href="https://corporate.walmart.com/askwalmart/how-many-people-work-at-walmart">1.6 million Americans</a>, this pay bump suggests something bigger: if you want your team to think like they own it, pay them like they might.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is once again <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43901182/bernie-sanders-warns-if-elon-musk-can-fire-hundreds-of-thousands-of-federal-employees-imagine-what-hell-do-to-private-sector-workers">raising concerns</a> about Elon Musk's sweeping job cuts in the federal government, calling them a preview of what could happen to private sector workers once artificial intelligence becomes widespread.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Broader Message About Automation and Inequality</h2>
&#8220;The idea that Mr. Musk goes around with a chainsaw—that is his metaphor—slashing jobs all over the place&#8230; and throwing people out into the street is outrageous,&#8221; Sanders said during a recent <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwqRP1SnY_g">CNN town hall</a> with Anderson Cooper.
&#8220;If Musk can do this to federal employees&#8230; what do you think he's going to be doing when artificial intelligence and robotics come for your job?&#8221;

</ul>
He warned that many jobs people hold today could disappear within the next decade, and he questioned whether Musk and others in the tech world are doing anything to protect American workers from the rapid changes brought by new technologies. &#8220;They don&#8217;t give a damn about you.&#8221;
Concerns about AI replacing human jobs aren't just coming from elected officials. In a resurfaced <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FKErmdFv4U">video</a>, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/05/39028738/openai-engineer-admits-ai-companies-taking-away-peoples-jobs-theres-nothing-you-could-do-to-stop-the">OpenAI engineer Brian Wu admitted</a>, "It's kind of deeply unfair that… a group of people can just build AI and take everyone's jobs away, and in some sense, there's nothing you can do to stop them right now."
Wu said the only available options may be to "petition for regulation" or "join us and have one of the few remaining jobs." He called the outlook "rough," adding that redistributing income may be one of the only fair ways forward.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">VA Layoffs Could Cripple Veterans&#8217; Care</h2>
Sanders was especially critical of a proposal to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44442938/bernie-sanders-slams-plan-to-cut-83000-va-employees-you-do-not-balance-the-budget-on-the-backs-of-those-who-defended-this-country">lay off 83,000 employees at the Department of Veterans Affairs</a>. He warned the cuts would directly harm veterans who rely on government-provided health care and benefits.
&#8220;We made a commitment to the men and women who put their lives on the line that we were going to provide them with the best quality health care,&#8221; Sanders said. &#8220;Throwing 83,000 workers in the VA out of their jobs will delay services and lower the quality of care.&#8221;
Sanders argued that these cuts aren't just about trimming budgets. He believes it's part of a broader push by conservative leaders and tech billionaires to shrink the role of government and weaken protections for workers.

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>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Defending Social Programs and Public Trust</h2>
Sanders also took issue with what he sees as misinformation from President Donald Trump, who has claimed large numbers of Social Security recipients are defrauding the system.
&#8220;It&#8217;s a total absolute lie,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Well over 99% of the benefits owed to people on Social Security were earned by the people.&#8221;
Meanwhile, Sanders blasted <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44753051/trumps-tariffs-will-drain-retirement-savings-push-us-to-the-brink-of-recession-says-nancy-pelosi-while-quoting-ronald-reagan">Trump's broad tariff policies</a>. He said working families will end up paying the price at the checkout line.
&#8220;Virtually all of those products sold in stores like Target are going to see significant increases in prices,&#8221; he said. &#8220;That's going to hurt working people a whole lot.&#8221;
While Sanders supports innovation, he says technology and AI must work for everyone—not just billionaires.
&#8220;So, bottom line, I am not a Luddite,&#8221; he said. &#8220;But we have got to understand that new technology—AI, robotics—has got to work for working people, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44075859/robin-hood-in-reverse-bernie-sanders-slams-republicans-for-taking-from-the-working-people-and-the-poor-and-giving-to-billionaires">not just for the billionaires</a> and Mr. Musk.&#8221;

Musk Firing Thousands Of Federal Workers A Warning, Says Bernie Sanders—'What Do You Think He'll Do When AI Comes For Private Sector Jobs?'

Bank of America Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>) released better-than-expected quarterly results on Tuesday. CEO Brian Moynihan said trade tensions and tariff-related turbulence did not affect the company's performance or American consumers in<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/44811593/bank-of-america-ceo-says-consumer-continues-to-spend-and-maintain-healthy-credit-quality-sticks-to-annual-outlook"> the first quarter. </a>
What To Know: In prepared remarks released with the bank's quarterly results, Moynihan said that both businesses and consumer clients are doing well in the face of uncertainty.&nbsp;

"Our business clients have been performing well; and consumers have shown resilience, continuing to spend and maintaining healthy credit quality. Though we potentially face a changing economy in the future, we believe the disciplined investments we have made for high-quality growth, our diverse set of businesses, and the team&#8217;s relentless focus on responsible growth will remain a source of strength,&#8221; the CEO said. 
Moynihan gave more insight into the mindset of small business owners on the earnings call with analysts.&nbsp;
"They're worried about how this will affect their businesses and where they should invest. And I think that's slowing down some of their decision paths right now because they're trying to figure out if my goods and services will be able to pass through the price," he said, adding that some are considering changing growth plans as well.&nbsp;
Overall, the CEO gave a picture of a strong economy currently weighed down by uncertainty surrounding the Trump administration's policies. He said business owners are generally calm, "they're making money, but they are worried about how all this works."&nbsp;
"The core question will be when all these different policies and stuff come together, in responses to policies by other trading partners to the tariff policies, by the policies on deregulation working for that the tax bill which comes out, all that will mix together and come to an outcome," Moynihan told analysts.&nbsp;
Later Tuesday morning in an interview with CNBC, Moynihan reiterated his comments on the resiliency of the U.S. consumer.&nbsp;
"Consumers are still spending money, despite the polls that say they are going to stop. They have not stopped yet," he said.&nbsp;

Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) owners have been subject to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44474423/fbi-launches-task-force-to-address-tesla-protests-director-kash-patel-condemns-violence-as-domes">increased reports of vandalism</a> and targeted attacks as the electric vehicle company faces declining brand value in the wake of CEO Elon Musk's continued political push.
Those same owners could be in for another challenge in 2025: increased insurance payments.
What Happened: Increased vandalism on Tesla vehicles and<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/03/44380301/tesla-analyst-says-demand-fears-overblown-but-has-some-concerns-as-used-car-prices-plummet"> lower used car values </a>are among the negatives facing Tesla owners in 2025 after Musk's push in politics has angered many and hurt the brand value of the EV giant.
A new report from <a href="https://insurify.com/car-insurance/insights/car-models-highest-insurance-increase/">Insurify</a>, shared by <a href="https://electrek.co/2025/04/14/tesla-insurance-premiums-are-incresing-at-twice-market-rate-amid-vandalism/">Electrek</a>, shows that higher insurance premiums could be another negative for Tesla owners in 2025 and things could get worse.
Overall automotive insurance premiums have risen due to a fear that tariffs that could make auto repair costs and replacement costs more expensive. The average cost of full coverage on a vehicle is up 10% year-over-year to $2,302, the report found.
Among the vehicles with the largest increase are several Tesla models. Here's a look at the top 10 vehicles seeing the largest increase in premiums from 2024 to 2025 in the U.S.:
<ol>
<li>Tesla Model Y: +29%, $3,996 average annual cost</li>
<li>Tesla Model 3: +24%, $4,364 average annual cost</li>
<li>Tesla Model X: +22%, $4,046 average annual cost</li>
<li>BMW 5 Series: +19%, $3,229 average annual cost</li>
<li>Toyota Prius: +18%, $2,151 average annual cost</li>
<li>Hyundai Santa Fe: +15%, $2,241 average annual cost</li>
<li>Honda Accord: +14%, $2,623 average annual cost</li>
<li>Hyundai Elantra: +14%, $2,851 average annual cost</li>
<li>Honda Civic: +13%, $2,600 average annual cost</li>
<li>Hyundai Sonata: +12%, $2,735 average annual cost</li>
</ol>
Tesla has the top three brands that have seen the largest year-over-year increase from 2024 to 2025 in the United States according to the report.

Why It's Important: The survey was done between February 2024 and February 2025, which means that insurance rates could actually be even higher with vandalism on Tesla vehicles high in recent months.
Tesla parts have been known to be expensive to repair, often leading to large premiums from insurance companies to offset the potential cost.
Tesla has its own insurance segment, but it is not available in all states.
The higher insurance costs and worries about tariffs could scare consumers away from electric vehicles in 2025, especially Tesla vehicles. While consumers can save money at the pump with an EV, owners are now faced with the decisions of lower resale value than past years and higher insurance rates for Tesla vehicles.
TSLA Price Action: Tesla stock was up 0.7% to $254.11 on Tuesday versus a 52-week trading range of $138.80 to $488.54. Tesla stock is down 33% year-to-date in 2025.

The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/01/36476388/from-mario-to-minecraft-jack-black-boards-new-video-game-adaptation">highly anticipated "Minecraft" movie </a>has turned into a blockbuster hit for Warner Bros. Discovery Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBD#NASDAQ">WBD</a>) and could be a revenue generator for theater companies like AMC Entertainment (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMC#NYSE">AMC</a>) and Cinemark Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CNK#NYSE">CNK</a>).
The impressive box office numbers will also likely mean more video games getting adapted into movies and TV series as media companies look for built-in fan bases.
What Happened: Billionaire Elon Musk is well-known for many things, including <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/23/08/33610477/elon-musk-lover-of-video-games-has-praise-for-this-record-breaking-title-and-its-not-elden-ring">his love of video games</a> such as "Diablo 4" and "Elden Ring."
With the success of "Minecraft" at the box office, Musk is now hoping for one of those hit games to be made into a movie.
Musk responded to former Blizzard Entertainment executive Mark Kern, also known as Grummz, who shared a post from GamesIndustry suggesting more video game adaptations are likely coming.
"Just like comics were in the past, the rich history of video games is now the wellspring of creative storytelling," Musk <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1911978724905431227">tweeted</a>.
One X user suggested that they should make a movie based on "Elden Ring" next.
"That would be awesome," Musk <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1911979256730570887">replied</a>.
Musk has often shared his love of the 2022 video game developed by FromSoftware that counts Japanese game developer Hidetaka Miyazaki and "Game of Thrones" author George R.R. Martin as figures who worked on the development of the action role-playing game.
"Minecraft" <a href="https://www.boxofficemojo.com/release/rl746096129/?ref_=bo_hm_rd">opened </a>with $162.8 million domestically and has now grossed $278.9 million domestically and $552.7 million worldwide. The film is the top-grossing film domestically in 2025 beating "Captain America: Brave New World" and is the second-highest-grossing film worldwide for the year.

</ul>
What's Next: The success of "Minecraft" could lead to more video games being made into movies and shows. "Minecraft" was released in 2011 and the game's parent Mojang was later acquired by Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) for $2.5 billion in 2014.
The film came with a built-in fan base of varying ages, which could explain how it beat original estimates of $70 to $90 million for its domestic opening. As movie studios and streamers look for their next hits, games with built-in fan bases could be attractive.
"Minecraft itself is a cultural juggernaut — over 300 million copies sold, and a fanbase spanning kids to adults who've been building pixelated empires for years," Exhibitor Relations box office analyst Jeff Bock told <a href="https://www.gamesindustry.biz/video-games-franchises-are-now-ripe-for-the-picking-why-a-minecraft-movie-could-lead-to-games-taking-over-hollywood">GamesIndustry</a>.
Alinea Analytics Head of Market Analysis Rhys Elliott highlighted the timing of the film not being around other blockbusters and coming at a time when many schools were on spring break as a potential win by Warner Bros. marketing team.
Elliott said recent hits like "The Super Mario Bros. Movie" and the Sonic film franchise have shown how video game adaptations can be successful.
&#8220;The Mario movie even outperformed juggernauts like Frozen and Despicable Me. If studios weren't paying attention to games before, they certainly were after Mario. And now Minecraft is another feather in that cap," Elliott said. &nbsp;
While more announcements could be made, there are already many video games in the works of being adapted into films or shows, including "Death Stranding," which was announced as a new A24 movie after "Minecraft's" opening.
Up next for game adaptations is the April 25, 2025, release of the "Until Dawn" movie from Sony Group Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SONY#NYSE">SONY</a>), as reported by <a href="https://www.ign.com/articles/upcoming-video-game-movies-and-tv-shows">IGN</a>. There are also sequels to "Mortal Kombat" and "Five Nights at Freddy's" scheduled for this year. In 2026, movies include "Street Fighter," and "The Super Mario Bros. Movie 2."
On the television side, "The Last of Us" has been a successful video game adaptation to TV for Warner Bros. Discovery with a second season recently premiering on HBO and Max. "Fallout" has also been a hit for Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), with a second season in the works and the first season leading to strong sales for the video game franchise.  
The success of the &#8220;Minecraft&#8221; movie could also be a positive for Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>), which is working on<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/05/39096394/minecraft-series-coming-to-major-streaming-platform-microsofts-hit-game-thrives"> a series adaptation </a>of the hit game.
While many video game adaptations have been hits, not all of them work out. The 2024 "Borderlands" film grossed less than $20 million domestically and grossed $33 million worldwide.
Speculation about the hit Epic Games "Fortnite" battle royale game being turned into a movie was quickly downplayed by Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney, as <a href="https://comicbookmovie.com/video-games/epic-games-ceo-refutes-rumors-of-fortnite-movie-following-a-minecraft-movie-success-a218548">reported </a>by ComicBookMovie.com. Sweeney tweeted "false" to a fan's post that "Fortnite" would be the next game adapted for the big screen and that some studios had already passed on the film rights. Sweeney did not clarify which part or, if both, were false.
