Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) will launch its Robotaxi service in Austin on June 12, with CEO Elon Musk confirming that the company is currently testing the Model Y.
What Happened: The June 12 date has been internally discussed, but it remains subject to change, according to an anonymous source familiar with the matter, as cited in <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-05-28/tesla-targets-june-12-launch-of-robotaxi-service-in-austin">a</a> Bloomberg report on Wednesday.
The company recently tested a fully autonomous Tesla Model Y in Austin with no remote operations, with only a company engineer in the passenger seat, the source suggested.
Musk has said that the company would initially use vehicles from its line-up, like the Model Y, to operate the autonomous ride-sharing service before incorporating the Cybercab, which is a purpose-built, fully autonomous driving vehicle with no steering wheel or pedals.
Why It Matters: The report comes in as Musk had previously stated the company plans to launch the Robotaxi in Austin sometime towards <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45529030/elon-musk-confirms-tesla-robotaxi-launch-is-on-track-for-next-month-these-things-happen-slowly-but-then-all-at-once">the end of June</a>, with over 10 Model Ys operating as Robotaxis initially.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">For the past several days, Tesla has been testing self-driving Model Y cars (no one in driver's seat) on Austin public streets with no incidents. A month ahead of schedule. Next month, first self-delivery from factory to customer.
&mdash; Elon Musk (@elonmusk) <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1927970940874354941?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 29, 2025</a></blockquote>

</figure>
Musk has also said that the company has been testing self-driving Model Ys in Austin on public roads for &#8220;the past several days&#8221; in a post on the social media platform X on Thursday. Musk says that the vehicles were tested without any incidents. He has also echoed his previous comments, which said that Teslas could drive directly to people&#8217;s houses from the factory.
The robotaxi launch could provide Musk's EV giant with a much-needed boost as the company continues to grapple with sales declines globally, including Europe, where Tesla sales <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/eurozone/25/05/45616006/teslas-european-woes-see-no-end-april-sales-crash-49-as-rivals-race-ahead-in-ev-market">experienced a 49% YoY plunge</a>.
However, Tesla&#8217;s plans to launch its robotaxi in Austin face stiff competition from Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) Waymo. Waymo is already an established player in the sector, with over 250,000 weekly rides.
Gerber Kawasaki&#8216;s CEO, Ross Gerber, suggests that the competition between Tesla and Waymo in Austin <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45637969/tesla-waymo-to-face-first-head-to-head-competition-for-robotaxis-ross-gerber-says-ahead-of-austin-launch-fascinating-to-watch">could be &#8220;fascinating&#8221;</a> as the two companies operate using different approaches to autonomous driving.
Tesla favors a camera-based system for its FSD tech, which is a crucial element to the Robotaxi, while Waymo uses a LiDAR-based system. Musk <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44529187/elon-musk-says-tesla-doesnt-need-lidar-because-people-dont-shoot-lasers-out-of-their-eyes-yet-his-ev-company-quietly-spent-over-2-million-on-the-technology-in-2024-as-china-takes-global-lead">has defended</a> Tesla&#8217;s decision not to use LiDAR for its Robotaxis and FSD, saying that the company doesn&#8217;t need LiDAR because &#8220;People don&#8217;t shoot lasers out of their eyes.&#8221;
Elsewhere, Waymo already operates in over four major cities in the U.S., including Austin. The company recently announced it reached the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45539621/tesla-robotaxi-rival-waymo-reaches-10-million-paid-rides-milestone-as-robotaxis-step-into-the-spotlight">ten million paid autonomous rides milestone</a>, doubling its lifetime total of five million rides in five months.
Price Action: TSLA gained 2.9% in overnight trading, currently valued at $364.59, according to<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard"> Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) unveiled its robotics strategy during its first-quarter 2025 earnings call on Wednesday, positioning the chipmaker for what executives called the emerging &#8220;era of robotics&#8221; as artificial intelligence expands beyond data centers into physical applications.
What Happened: &#8220;The era of robotics is here. Billions of robots, hundreds of millions of autonomous vehicles, and hundreds of thousands of robotic factories and warehouses will be developed,&#8221; Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress told analysts during the earnings call.
The Santa Clara-based company reported record first-quarter revenue of $44.1 billion, up 69% year-over-year, driven by continued demand for its AI chips. Data center revenue reached $39 billion, representing 73% annual growth as customers deployed NVIDIA&#8217;s Blackwell architecture for reasoning AI applications.
NVIDIA introduced Isaac Groot, described as &#8220;the world&#8217;s first open, fully customizable foundation model for humanoid robots, enabling generalized reasoning and skill development.&#8221; The platform aims to train robots using synthetic data generated through NVIDIA&#8217;s Omniverse simulation environment.

Why It Matters: Leading robotics companies, including Agility Robotics, Boston Dynamics, and Figure AI are already integrating NVIDIA&#8217;s technologies. GE HealthCare Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GEHC#NASDAQ">GEHC</a>) is using the new NVIDIA Isaac platform for robotic imaging and surgery systems development.
CEO Jensen Huang emphasized the strategic importance of robotics during the call, noting that future manufacturing plants will require &#8220;AI factories&#8221; to operate robotic systems. 
Price Action: Nvidia Corp.&#8217;s stock closed at $134.81 on Wednesday, down 0.51% for the day. In after-hours trading, the stock rose sharply by 4.89% to $141.40. Year to date, Nvidia shares are down 2.53%.
NVDA stock enjoys strong momentum, growth, and quality, but performs poorly on valuation metrics, according to Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings. The stock shows a positive price trend across the short to long term.

Pakistan will establish a strategic Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) reserve, the government's cryptocurrency advisor announced on Wednesday.
What happened: Bilal Bin Saqib, special assistant to the prime minister on blockchain and cryptocurrency, said at the Bitcoin 2025 conference that the government will hold BTC in a national wallet and &#8220;never ever&#8221; sell them.
"We want to thank the U.S. because we are getting inspired from them," Bilal said. Notably, President Donald Trump signed an Executive Order to establish a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44183572/trump-establishes-strategic-bitcoin-reserve-funded-by-forfeited-assets-i-made-the-promise">strategic Bitcoin reserve</a> earlier in March.

Pakistan Announces Strategic Reserve 'Inspired' By Trump Moves In The US — Vows To Never Sell Bitcoin

On Wednesday, Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) revealed that even with a projected $8 billion revenue loss due to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44830406/nvidia-to-take-55-billion-hit-over-china-chip-export-restrictions-but-top-analyst-dan-ives-says-hes-not-overly-concerned-all-part-of-the-high-game-of-poker">U.S. export curbs on China</a>, the chipmaker's guidance and AI momentum remain stronger than expected.
What Happened: During its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45657660/nvidia-q1-highlights-china-export-ban-hits-results-but-jensen-huang-says-demand-incredibly-strong">first-quarter earnings</a> call, Nvidia executives disclosed that new U.S. restrictions on its H20 AI chips bound for China would cost the company about $8 billion in the current quarter.
Despite that setback, Nvidia maintained bullish guidance, citing accelerating demand across multiple business lines. Colette Kress, Nvidia's CFO, confirmed, "Had the export controls not occurred, we would have had orders of about $8 billion for H20."
Still, the company expects $45 billion in the second–quarter revenue, well above Wall Street forecasts, driven by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/05/45637684/after-the-delay-nvidias-blackwell-ai-servers-are-back-in-production-as-suppliers-foxconn-inventec-dell-and-wistron-fix-key-technical-issues-report">surging demand for its next-gen</a> Blackwell chips and broader AI infrastructure growth.

CEO Jensen Huang highlighted four key growth drivers: reasoning AI, rescinding of the AI diffusion rule, enterprise AI adoption and industrial AI linked to global factory expansion.
Huang also praised President Donald Trump. &#8220;President Trump wants America to win,&#8221; Huang stated, adding, &#8220;He also realizes that we're not the only country in the race and he wants the United States to win.&#8221;
&#8220;[Trump] recognizes that we have to get the American stack out to the world and have the world build on top of American stacks, instead of alternatives,&#8221; the CEO said.
Why It&#8217;s Important: Nvidia posted first-quarter revenue of $44.1 billion, marking a 69% increase year-over-year and a 12% rise from the previous quarter, surpassing the Street consensus estimate of $43.2 billion.
On April 9, Nvidia was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45612246/nvidia-to-be-hit-by-china-chip-export-curbs-or-deliver-q2-guidance-surprise-after-middle-east-dealmaking-heres-what-charts-show-ahead-of-q1-results">hit with an export ban</a> on its H20 products to China. As a result, the company recorded a $4.5 billion charge in the first quarter tied to excess H20 inventory and purchase commitments.
Despite the new export licensing rules, H20 product sales totaled $4.6 billion for the quarter
Meanwhile, earlier this week, it was reported that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45636302/nvidia-amd-stand-to-gain-big-as-japan-proposes-about-7-billion-us-chip-deal-in-tariff-talks-report">Japan plans to import nearly $7 billion</a> worth of U.S.-made semiconductors — a move that could provide a substantial boost to chipmakers like Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>), as trade talks with the Trump administration continue.
Price Action: Nvidia shares rose 4.89% in after-hours trading to $141.40 at the time of writing, after slipping 0.51% during Wednesday's regular session, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Meanwhile, Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings gave NVDA a strong growth score of 98.75%. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Click here to see how it stacks up against other high-performing stocks</a> like AMD.

The&nbsp;Labor Department lifted restrictions that previously discouraged the inclusion of&nbsp;cryptocurrencies in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/what-is-a-401k">401(k)</a> retirement&nbsp;plans on Wednesday.
What Happened:  The Department of Labor's Employee Benefits Security Administration rescinded a Biden-era guidance that had urged plan fiduciaries to exercise &#8220;extreme care&#8221; before adding cryptocurrency to investment menus, marking a return to the department&#8217;s &#8220;historically neutral&#8221; position on such investments.
&#8220;By rescinding the 2022 guidance, the department reaffirms its neutral stance, neither endorsing, nor disapproving of, plan fiduciaries who conclude that the inclusion of cryptocurrency in a plan's investment menu is appropriate,&#8221; a statement from the release said.

Bitcoin In Your 401(k)? Trump's Labor Department Rolls Back Biden-Era Guidance On Crypto In The Employer-Sponsored Retirement Plan

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) shares jumped over 2.9% in overnight trading to $367.32 following CEO Elon Musk&#8216;s announcement that his role as Special Government Employee leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has concluded.
What Happened: The electric vehicle maker closed regular trading down 1.65% at $356.90 on Tuesday before the announcement sparked investor optimism about Musk&#8217;s renewed focus on Tesla operations.
&#8220;As my scheduled time as a Special Government Employee comes to an end, I would like to thank President Donald Trump for the opportunity to reduce wasteful spending,&#8221; Musk posted on social media. He added that &#8220;The DOGE mission will only strengthen over time as it becomes a way of life throughout the government.&#8221;
Musk&#8217;s departure from DOGE comes after mounting criticism over potential conflicts of interest and Tesla&#8217;s declining sales performance. The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45637814/elon-musk-admits-he-spent-too-much-time-on-politics-after-tesla-sales-decline-in-multiple-regions">billionaire admitted in a recent interview</a> that he &#8220;probably did spend a bit too much time on politics&#8221; and described his government involvement as a &#8220;time allocation issue.&#8221;

Tesla Stock Gains 2.9% In Overnight Trade As Elon Musk Ends DOGE Government Role

Nvidia Corp.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) strong first-quarter performance highlights a quiet, yet fast-growing segment of the company that has long been overlooked by investors.
What Happened: During its much-anticipated <a href="https://benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45657660/nvidia-q1-highlights-china-export-ban-hits-results-but-jensen-huang-says-demand-incredibly-strong">first quarter results</a> on Wednesday, NVIDIA reported $5 billion in sales from its networking business, an increase of 64% from the prior quarter, with the company&#8217;s CFO Colette Kress noting during the earnings call, that its enhanced Ethernet platform, SpectrumX, is now annualizing over $8 billion.
&#8220;Spectrum X posted strong sequential and year-on-year growth,&#8221; she said, adding that adoption is &#8220;widespread across major CSPs,&#8221; including Microsoft Azure, Oracle Cloud, CoreWeave Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRWV#NASDAQ">CRWV</a>), and most recently, Google Cloud and Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>).

During the call, CEO Jensen Huang emphasized the company&#8217;s strategy to dominate, not just the AI compute layer, but the entire datacenter architecture. 
He says, &#8220;we now have four networking platforms,&#8221; referring to NVLink, SpectrumX, InfiniBand, and BlueField, all of which he says are &#8220;doing really well.&#8221;
Powerful AI models such as ChatGPT or Google&#8217;s Gemini require hundreds of thousands of GPUs that need to constantly talk with one another. These conversations are an intense, split-second exchange of huge volumes of data that traditional Ethernet switches are incapable of handling.
The company's NVLink Gen 5 platform delivers 130 terabytes per second of bandwidth in a single rack, which is equivalent to the world's peak internet traffic. 
Huang says that enhanced Ethernet, once considered unsuitable for AI, now rivals InfiniBand in efficiency. &#8220;The traffic of AI is insanely bursty… and so SpectrumX has been really, quite frankly, a home run.&#8221;
Despite its rapid growth, networking still makes up a relatively small portion of NVIDIA's $39.1 billion data center revenue, where GPU sales dominate. This is potentially obscuring its growth and impact among investors and analysts. 
&#8220;This is the start of a powerful new wave of growth,&#8221; Huang said, reinforcing his confidence in the segment. &#8220;We're off to the races.&#8221;
Why It Matters: Nvidia&#8217;s networking play is already <a href="https://benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/02/44005208/nvidia-ai-juggernaut-rolls-on-but-can-arista-cisco-keep-up">mounting pressure</a> on legacy giants in this space, such as Arista Networks Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ANET#NYSE">ANET</a>) and Cisco Systems Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSCO#NASDAQ">CSCO</a>).
During its <a href="https://benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45657660/nvidia-q1-highlights-china-export-ban-hits-results-but-jensen-huang-says-demand-incredibly-strong">first quarter results</a> on Wednesday, the company reported $44.1 billion in revenue, up 69% year-over-year, and beating consensus estimates at $42.3 billion. It, however, missed earnings estimates, with a profit of $0.81 per share, against $0.88 per share.
Price Action: Shares of Nvidia were down 0.51% on Wednesday, trading at $134.81, but are up 4.89% after hours, following the company&#8217;s better-than-expected first quarter performance.

Jensen Huang Points To 'A Powerful New Wave Of Growth' For Nvidia And Wall Street May Be Overlooking It: Chipmaker Set To Dominate The AI Datastack?

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) is reportedly preparing a rebrand of its software platforms by introducing a year-based naming system.
What Happened: At its Worldwide Developers Conference on June 9, Apple could unveil the new strategy, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-05-28/apple-to-rebrand-device-operating-systems-ios-26-macos-26-watchos-26?srnd=undefined">reported</a> Bloomberg on Wednesday, citing people with knowledge of the matter.
As per the report, the tech giant will replace the current version numbers like iOS 18 and macOS 15 with year-based names, such as iOS 26, macOS 26, and iPadOS 26.
The idea behind this is to simplify the naming process, which currently has some inconsistencies because of its varied launch dates.
Apple did not immediately respond to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga's</a> request for comments.

Why It's Important: In 2020, Samsung Electronics Co. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSNLF#OTC">SSNLF</a>) also made a similar move by launching the Galaxy S20 after releasing the Galaxy S10 in 2019.
Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) also did this back in 1995 by naming its operating systems after their release years like Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows 2000.

Although in this case, Apple is taking a slightly different approach by using the upcoming year instead of the ongoing one. For example, the next iOS update is expected to launch in September 2025, but will name named iOS 26, the report added.
Price Action: Apple&#8217;s stock edged up by 0.10% during Wednesday's regular trading session and saw a more notable gain of 3.49% in after-hours trading, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>.
According to Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings, Apple received a growth score of 32.99%. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Click here to see how it compares to other leading stocks</a> like Samsung and Microsoft.

Apple Is Reportedly Making iOS Take A Leap From 18 To 26 — Here's Why

Eric Trump, the executive vice president of The Trump Organization, was all praise for Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) co-founder Michael Saylor on Wednesday, stating that Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) is "fortunate" to have him.
What Happened: Speaking at the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas, Trump recalled how Saylor attempted to persuade him to invest in the apex cryptocurrency.
"You need to mortgage Mar-a-Lago right now. You need to take $2 billion out of Mar-a-Lago and need to go long Bitcoin," Trump quoted Saylor as saying.

Eric Trump mentioned how Saylor advises everyone to follow his Bitcoin playbook and how it's an &#8220;incredible opportunity&#8221; to capitalize on.
"I&#8217;ve never seen that in any other industry where you have the titan of the industry that&#8217;s literally advocating for smart people to compete against them," he said about Saylor.
Meanwhile, when asked for a prediction, Trump said Bitcoin would clear $170,000 in a year.

Eric Trump Reveals Advice From Michael Saylor: Mortgage Mar-A-Lago And Take $2 Billion To Invest In Bitcoin

The U.S. unemployment rate is officially stuck at 4.2%, yet a lesser-known yardstick called "functional unemployment" now says roughly one in four American adults is effectively out of luck in the labor market, its highest reading in three months.
What Happened: Compiled by the Ludwig Institute for Shared Economic Prosperity, the metric folds in job-seekers who can't land work and full-time workers earning less than $25,000, the federal poverty threshold for a family of four. LISEP's April update pegs the "true rate" at 24.4%, up from 23.8% in January.
The gap remains widest for Black workers — 26.7% — while the rate for white workers dipped to 23%. Women's functional jobless rate fell slightly to 28.6%, but men ticked up to 20%, narrowing the gender spread. LISEP chair Gene Ludwig warns the trend shows &#8220;little signs of improvement&#8221; amid a shortage of &#8220;dependable, good-paying jobs.&#8221;
Traditional Bureau of Labor Statistics <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45164558/us-adds-177000-jobs-in-april-topping-forecasts-as-economy-navigates-tariff-impact">data</a> excludes the nearly six million people working full time yet living below the poverty line, as well as some discouraged workers who have quit looking. That statistical blind spot helps explain why consumer sentiment sags even as payrolls rise.
See also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45646623/google-ceo-sundar-pichai-insists-overall-query-growth-persists-shrugging-off-eddy-cues-warning-calls-search-far-from-zero-sum-game">Google CEO Sundar Pichai Insists &#8216;Overall Query Growth&#8217; Persists Shrugging Off Eddy Cue&#8217;s Warning, Calls Search &#8216;Far From Zero-Sum Game&#8217;</a>
Living costs aren't waiting for wages to catch up. The annual expense of raising a child has jumped almost 36% since 2023, topping $30,000 per year and pushing the lifetime tab near $300,000. Child Care Aware of America's (CCAoA) analysis shows child-care costs alone now absorb more than a third of the median household income in some states.
Economists note that headline unemployment remained just 4% in 2011, yet millions felt underemployed for years afterward. LISEP argues today's functional-jobless surge deserves similar policy attention, calling for targeted training and wage support. The consequence otherwise, as Ludwig puts it, will be that &#8220;low- and middle-income wage earners ultimately end up paying the bill.&#8221;

One In Four Americans Are 'Functionally Jobless' — The 'True' Unemployment Metric That's Peaked In Recent Months

On Wednesday, major U.S. stock indices closed lower, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average falling 0.6% to 42,098.70 and the S&amp;P 500 slipping by a similar margin to 5,888.55. The Nasdaq shed 0.5% to finish at 19,100.94. However, stock futures rebounded after a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45660322/trump-tariffs-struck-down-by-federal-court-major-blow-to-white-houses-trade-strategy-report">court overturned</a> the Trump tariffs. These are the top stocks that gained the attention of retail traders and investors through the day:
Nvidia Corp&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>)
Nvidia&#8217;s stock dipped by 0.51%, closing at $134.81, with an intraday high of $137.25 and a low of $134.79. The stock&#8217;s 52-week range is between $86.63 and $153.13. In the after-hours trading, the Jensen Huang-led company&#8217;s shares spiked 4.9% to $141.40.

The company guided for higher second-quarter revenue, citing strong AI demand and new products like the Blackwell supercomputer.
Apple Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>)
