Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) CEO Jensen Huang said Wednesday that next-generation artificial intelligence models need &#8220;100 times more compute&#8221; than earlier versions, citing new reasoning approaches that process information step by step.
What Happened: &#8220;The amount of computation necessary to do that reasoning process is 100 times more than what we used to do,&#8221; Huang <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/02/26/nvidia-ceo-huang-says-next-generation-ai-will-need-more-compute.html">told</a> CNBC following the company&#8217;s record-breaking <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43991607/nvidia-q4-earnings-highlights-revenue-beat-eps-beat-demand-for-blackwell-is-amazing">fourth-quarter earnings report</a>.
The chipmaker reported $39.3 billion in revenue for the quarter, up 78% year-over-year and exceeding analyst expectations of $38.05 billion. Data center revenue, which includes Nvidia&#8217;s market-leading GPUs for AI workloads, surged 93% to $35.6 billion, now representing over 90% of total revenue.
Huang specifically mentioned DeepSeek&#8217;s R1, OpenAI&#8217;s GPT-4 and xAI&#8217;s Grok 3 as models utilizing reasoning processes that require substantially more computing power. This comes despite a 17% stock drop in January triggered by concerns that DeepSeek had found ways to achieve better AI performance with lower infrastructure costs.
&#8220;DeepSeek was fantastic,&#8221; Huang said. &#8220;It was fantastic because it open-sourced a reasoning model that&#8217;s absolutely world class.&#8221;

Why It Matters: The company has faced challenges in China due to export restrictions, with Huang noting that Nvidia&#8217;s percentage of revenue from China has fallen by about half. He added that Nvidia&#8217;s GB200 chip, sold in the United States, can generate AI content 60 times faster than versions sold to China under export controls.
Looking ahead, Nvidia projects first-quarter revenue of $43 billion, exceeding analyst expectations of $41.75 billion. Huang emphasized strong demand for the company&#8217;s new Blackwell AI supercomputers, which achieved &#8220;billions of dollars in sales in its first quarter.&#8221;
&#8220;Demand for Blackwell is amazing as reasoning AI adds another scaling law – increasing compute for training makes models smarter and increasing compute for long thinking makes the answer smarter,&#8221; Huang said.

Nvidia, MARA Holdings, Snowflake, Applovin, And Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) is shaking things up when it comes to executive pay. The company recently approved a plan to boost top executives' bonuses from 75% of their base salaries to as much as 200%.&nbsp;
According to a recent <a href="https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/1326801/000132680125000021/meta-20250213.htm">SEC filing</a>, the goal is to better align executive compensation with company priorities and industry standards. But the timing is raising eyebrows—just a week before announcing these pay increases, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/25/01/43084473/mark-zuckerbergs-900k-hand-made-1-watch-steals-the-spotlight-as-meta-ends-u-s-fact-checking-partnerships">Meta</a> laid off 3,600 employees, or about 5% of its workforce.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Pay Raises at the Top, Layoffs Down Below</h2>
Meta's board defended the move, saying that before this change, executive compensation was well below that of other tech giants.&nbsp;
The company said in the filing that its executive pay was at or below the 15th percentile compared to similar roles at peer companies. The bump to 200% will bring their compensation to around the 50th percentile, making it more competitive in the industry, the filing added.&nbsp;
The announcement comes as many former employees are still processing recent job cuts. Meta said it let go of workers based on performance, but some of those affected are pushing back on that explanation.&nbsp;
A former content manager <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7294825272653094912/">shared on LinkedIn</a> that she had consistently received positive feedback, was never placed on a performance improvement plan, and wasn't given clear expectations before losing her job.
Trending: 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>.
Meta isn't alone in making these kinds of decisions. Other tech giants have followed a similar playbook—Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) approved a <a href="https://www.reuters.com/technology/microsoft-ceo-nadellas-2024-pay-rose-63-79-mln-stock-awards-2024-10-24/">63% raise for CEO Satya Nadella</a> shortly after laying off 1,900 employees in its gaming division.&nbsp;
On top of that, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/meta-approves-bonuses-executives-amid-layoffs-2025-2">Business Insider reported</a> last week that Meta has also reduced the value of annual employee stock options by 10%, despite its stock performing well. That's a big deal since many employees rely on stock-based compensation as a key part of their earnings.
Not surprisingly, industry experts are divided on whether these pay increases are justified. Some argue that competitive compensation is necessary to attract and keep top talent, especially as companies like Meta invest heavily in artificial intelligence and other growth sectors. According to <a href="https://www.ajg.com/using-executive-compensation-data-to-retain-talent/">Gallagher's CEO and Executive Compensation Trends report</a>, making sure executive pay is in line with industry benchmarks is crucial for stability at the leadership level.

Others warn that growing pay gaps between executives and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/25/02/43681931/googles-ai-ambitions-spark-cost-cuts-over-25000-employees-offered-buyouts-as-company-focuses-on-speed-and-efficiency">employees</a> can cause major problems. A report from the <a href="https://www.esgdive.com/news/ceo-worker-pay-gap-rising-bad-for-business-report/699590/">Institute for Policy Studies and the Congressional Progressive Caucus Center</a> found that extreme pay disparities can lower productivity and increase turnover.&nbsp;
Public sentiment also leans against these widening gaps—according to a <a href="https://justcapital.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/JUST-Capital_Worker-CEO-Pay-Survey-Analysis_May-2022-min.pdf">Just Capital poll</a>, 87% of Americans believe the growing difference between CEO and worker pay is a problem.
Even with the controversy, Meta is doing well financially. In its <a href="https://s21.q4cdn.com/399680738/files/doc_financials/2024/q4/Meta-12-31-2024-Exhibit-99-1-FINAL.pdf">Q4 2024 earnings report</a>, the company posted a 21% year-over-year revenue increase, hitting $48.4 billion and exceeding Wall Street expectations. The company credited <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43903135/ais-19-9-trillion-impact-could-create-the-first-trillionaire-but-mark-cuban-says-it-wont-be-musk-or-bezos">AI</a>-driven improvements in advertising and product innovation for the growth.&nbsp;

Meta Boosts Executive Bonuses To 200% As It Slashes 5% Of Workforce—Laid-Off Employees Call It 'Unfair'

Jensen Huang envisions Nvidia Corporation's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) legacy as a transformative force in technology, one that will be remembered for making an "extraordinary impact" on industries beyond gaming.
What Happened: Last month, during an interview with Cleo Abram, Huang was asked that after he is gone, how would he like the world to describe him and Nvidia?
"Very simply, they made an extraordinary impact," Huang said in response, reflecting on Nvidia's rise to becoming one of the most consequential technology companies in the world.
He highlighted the company's commitment to providing cutting-edge computing power to businesses, researchers, and developers across diverse fields.

Huang also pointed to Nvidia's role in revolutionizing digital biology, material sciences, robotics, and autonomous driving.
"When we look back in a few years&#8230; we'll realize that the whole field of digital biology and life sciences has been transformed. Our whole understanding of material sciences has completely been revolutionized," he said.
The CEO hopes that future generations will recognize Nvidia's influence in shaping cutting-edge industries, stating, "There's this company almost at the epicenter of all of that&#8230; and it happens to be the company that you grew up playing games with."

Why It's Important: Nvidia's transformation from a gaming GPU company to a global leader in artificial intelligence, data centers, and high-performance computing is nothing short of remarkable.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/25/01/43140861/if-you-invested-1000-in-nvidia-stock-at-ipo-heres-how-much-youd-have-today-2">Founded in 1993</a>, Nvidia initially focused on graphics processing units (GPUs) for gaming, but its deep investments in AI and machine learning have propelled it into cloud computing, autonomous vehicles, and enterprise AI applications.
This strategic evolution has made Nvidia the second-largest company by market cap in 2025 at $3.215 trillion, despite a 4.18% decline from 2024, which ended at $3.355 trillion.
The company's meteoric rise has been marked by staggering growth, having surged from just $17.73 billion in 2015 to over $1.223 trillion by 2023, representing a 235.88% year-over-year increase in 2023 alone.
While it faced a sharp decline in 2022, dropping by 50.47%, the rebound in 2023 and 2024 reaffirmed its dominance in the AI and semiconductor industries.
Price Action: Nvidia&#8217;s stock fell 1.23% in after-hours trading to $129.67 after rising 3.67% earlier on Wednesday, closing at $131.28, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Jensen Huang Once Disclosed How He Wants Nvidia And Him Remembered: 'Very Simply…'

President Donald Trump issued an executive order on Wednesday requiring all federal agencies to have a representative from Elon Musk&#8217;s Department of Government Efficiency, marking a significant expansion of the billionaire&#8217;s influence over government operations.
What Happened:&nbsp;The executive order mandates that each federal agency appoint a DOGE representative to oversee spending and ensure transparency,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/02/26/trump-order-federal-agencies-doge-representative-00206359">Politico reports</a>. These representatives will work alongside agency leadership to monitor all expenditures, requiring managers to provide written justifications for payments and implement new systems for tracking expenses.
The order also freezes most government credit cards for 30 days and requires monthly spending reports to be submitted to DOGE administrator&nbsp;Amy Gleason. This information will be made public, except for certain law enforcement and intelligence activities.
&#8220;To ensure Government spending is transparent and Government employees are accountable to the American public,&#8221; the order states, outlining the responsibilities of DOGE representatives.
This move is part of a broader efficiency project led by Trump and Musk, which has already resulted in the termination of numerous federal contracts and the dismissal of thousands of public-sector workers.

Why It Matters:&nbsp;The expansion of DOGE&#8217;s influence comes at a time when the effectiveness of Trump and Musk&#8217;s cost-cutting measures is being questioned. Despite claims of billions in savings,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43972234/trump-and-elon-musks-cost-cutting-measures-fail-to-curb-rising-us-government-spending-report">government spending continues to rise</a>, primarily due to increasing expenditures on health and retirement programs, as well as growing interest payments.
The initiative has faced significant challenges, including the&nbsp;<a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/02/43962278/elon-musks-doge-staffers-resign-refuse-to-dismantle-critical-public-services-white-house-hits-back-saying-trump-wont-be-stopped-by-protests-and-lawsuits">resignation of over 20 civil service employees</a>&nbsp;from DOGE, who cited concerns about dismantling critical public services. This setback, coupled with ongoing court challenges, has raised questions about the long-term viability of the administration&#8217;s approach to government reform.
Public opinion also appears to be mixed on Musk&#8217;s role in government. A recent Emerson College poll found that only 41% of voters approve of Musk&#8217;s performance at DOGE, with 45% disapproving. The poll also revealed limited support for some of DOGE&#8217;s more controversial proposals, such as eliminating the US Agency for International Development and the Department of Education.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt defended the administration&#8217;s approach, stating, &#8220;Anyone who thinks protests, lawsuits, and lawfare will deter President Trump must have been sleeping under a rock for the past several years.&#8221;

Market observers warn an expanding U.S. budget deficit and aggressive trade policies under President Donald Trump could test investors&#8217; appetite for government debt, despite campaign promises <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43587245/tariffs-are-the-only-way-to-fund-tax-cuts-without-deficit-expansion-argues-expert-as-it-takes-center-stage-in-donald-trumps-economic-plan">to lower borrowing costs</a>.
Treasury yields have fluctuated since Trump&#8217;s election, initially spiking to 4.8% before settling at 4.6%, according <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/0259de87-9488-404d-b418-cdb26a2a8f89">to the Financial Times</a>. Investors now balance inflation concerns against fears that new tariffs could slow economic growth.
The <a href="https://www.cbo.gov/system/files/2025-01/60870-Outlook-2025.pdf">Congressional Budget Office projects</a> the government deficit will reach $1.9 trillion, or 6.2% of GDP, by Sept. 30. It could grow to $2.7 trillion by 2035, far exceeding the 50-year average deficit of 3.8%.

&#8220;The investment community in general is certainly uncertain, and perhaps nervous, but it&#8217;s not obvious whether they should be more worried about recession or inflation,&#8221; David Kelly, chief global strategist at JPMorgan Asset Management, told the Financial Times.
House Republicans <a href="https://apnews.com/article/house-republicans-budget-blueprint-trump-tax-cuts-ff2bddf31f4e7cb0928139072392a091">have proposed tax cuts potentially reaching $4.5 trillion</a>, alongside a $4 trillion debt ceiling increase. The <a href="https://www.crfb.org/press-releases/house-budget-allows-too-much-debt">Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget estimates</a> the changes could add $2.8 trillion to the deficit through 2034.

However, analysts suggest U.S. debt retains advantages through market liquidity and the dollar&#8217;s reserve currency status.
The Federal Reserve&#8217;s quantitative tightening program, reducing its Treasury holdings since mid-2022, adds another variable as the government potentially increases debt issuance, the Financial Times reported.
&#8220;The scale and scope of the fiscal deficit could be quite large and could be relatively long term,&#8221; Ed Al-Hussainy, rates analyst at Columbia Threadneedle Investments, told the Financial Times. &#8220;That&#8217;s the main thing that could be damaging for the rates market.&#8221;

If you've recently grabbed a coffee at a kiosk without speaking to anyone or scanned your groceries without a cashier, you're already experiencing the quiet revolution of automation. It might seem minor now, but <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/25/01/43101102/elon-musk-the-richest-man-in-the-world-is-estimated-to-earn-over-23-million-every-single-hour-of-the-day-heres-how-hes-spending-it">according to Elon Musk</a>—founder of SpaceX, CEO of Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), and owner of X —these small shifts are just the start.
Back in 2017 at the World Government Summit, Musk famously said about universal basic income, "I don't think we're going to have a choice." It wasn't a political stance or even his personal preference—it was Musk realistically predicting the future. With artificial intelligence becoming increasingly advanced, he sees a world where jobs traditionally done by humans rapidly vanish.

</ul>
But fast-forward a few years, Musk's vision has evolved. During an appearance at the 2024 VivaTech conference in Paris, he didn't just double down on universal income—he took it further. Musk now anticipates a scenario where society doesn't settle for basic income, but instead adopts something far more ambitious: a "high universal income."
"In a benign scenario <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/05/39044740/probably-none-of-us-will-have-a-job-elon-musk-predicts-massive-job-losses-due-to-ai">probably none of us will have a job</a>," Musk explained, emphasizing optimism despite the disruption. "But in that benign scenario, there will be universal high income—not universal base income—and there will be no shortage of goods or services."
That shift—from "basic" to "high" universal income—is critical. Musk believes that AI and automation will drive down the cost of goods and dramatically boost productivity, creating abundance. In other words, everyone will theoretically have access to whatever they need, and poverty as we know it could dramatically diminish.
But here's the catch: Musk sees another serious problem emerging, and it's not economic—it's psychological.
Trending: The average American couple has saved this much money for retirement —<a href="http://www.benzinga.com/money/smartasset"> How do you compare</a>?
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Will Automation Leave Us Feeling "Useless"?</h2>
As appealing as abundant income might sound, Musk is concerned about the meaning we draw from our work. In a future where robots and AI systems outperform us at almost everything, he worries about human dignity, identity, and fulfillment.
"The harder challenge is how do people then have meaning," Musk said. "If you're not needed, if there's not a need for your labor, how do you find meaning? Do you feel useless?"
It's a troubling question. Employment, for most people, isn't just about money—it's about self-worth, social connections, and personal growth. Losing this could create a crisis of meaning, even in a world of abundance.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">AI and the Future of Work</h2>
Despite these deep concerns, Musk is largely optimistic about AI's impact. "I think the benign scenario is probably the most likely—probably 80% likely if you ask my opinion," he said. "Everyone will have access to as much in the way of goods and services as they would like."
His <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/25/01/43335267/some-employees-survive-but-a-whole-lot-dont-says-elon-musks-biographer-about-his-demon-mode-in-which-hes-coldly-brutal-to-people">vision of the future workplace</a> is similarly bold. Work won't vanish altogether, but it'll be optional. Musk describes a world where working becomes more of a hobby or passion project than a necessity. "Long term … any job that somebody does will be optional. If you want to do a job as kinda like a hobby, you can do a job, but otherwise, the AI and robots will provide any goods and services you want."

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">Could Your Career Soon Become Optional?</h2>
Whether you're on board with Musk's predictions or skeptical, it's clear AI is already causing real disruption in the workplace. According to a <a href="https://www.brookings.edu/articles/generative-ai-the-american-worker-and-the-future-of-work/">Brookings Institution report</a> last fall more than 30% of all workers could soon find at least half of their current job tasks taken over by generative AI.
And it's not just about job security. Workers are feeling the strain in other ways, too. A <a href="https://www.grantthornton.com/insights/press-releases/2024/november/employee-burnout-continues-to-surge-as-mental-and-emotional-stress-mount">Grant Thornton study</a> last year found that 32% of employees reported their mental well-being worsened in the past year, while 30% saw improvement, and 38% remained about the same.
Musk's statements underline something profound: the conversation about AI and automation isn't simply about economics. It's about human purpose, identity, and what we value beyond money.
As we move into this uncertain, automated future, Musk's message is clear: universal income—perhaps a high universal income—might soon become inevitable. But the real challenge might not be figuring out how to pay for it. Instead, we may have to find entirely new ways of defining our worth in a world where machines do almost everything for us.

'I Don't Think We're Going to Have a Choice': Elon Musk Predicts Universal Income Will Eventually Be 'High'—But Fears People Will Feel 'Useless'

Dynamic Aerostructures, which makes high-tech parts for U.S. fighter jets and SpaceX rockets, has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/bankruptcy">filed for bankruptcy</a>.
What Happened: According to <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-02-26/aero-parts-maker-for-stealth-bomber-spacex-files-for-bankruptcy?sref=TBDibEcD">Bloomberg</a>, the Valencia, California-based company plans to auction itself off in a court-supervised sale.
Dynamic is owned by a private equity firm, Endeavour Capital. Dynamic&#8217;s operating unit, Forrest Machining, LLC (aka FMI Aerostructures) was <a href="https://endeavour.com/portfolio/dynamic-aerostructures-llc/">purchased</a> by Endeavour Capital in 2021. 
The company blamed quality-control issues, contracts and inflation-driven inventory costs for the financial nosedive. 
CEO Eric Ellis insists it's still "business as usual" while they search for a buyer, with an April 7 bid deadline set for potential suitors.

Why It Matters: The company is saddled with $55 million in debt. In addition to SpaceX, the company is also a key supplier for Blue Origin, Boeing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>), Lockheed Martin Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>), and Northrop Grumman Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOC#NYSE">NOC</a>), including making parts for the B-2 Spirit stealth bomber.
The company&#8217;s situation also illustrates the challenging record of private equity and venture capital-backed companies. In 2024, PE-backed companies made up nearly 16% of the 694 total U.S. bankruptcy filings, per <a href="https://www.transacted.io/private-equity-portfolio-bankruptcies-hit-record-high-in-2024">Transact.io</a>, citing S&amp;P Capital data.
That's the highest annual tally since 2010.
