Tesla Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) Cybertruck vehicles are reportedly piling outside the company&#8217;s gigafactory in Texas and collecting dust, forcing the company to resort to aggressive discounting.
What Happened: According to a report <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/peterlyon/2025/02/27/thousands-of-tesla-cybertrucks-gather-dust-even-with-6000-discount/">by</a> Forbes, the company&#8217;s inventory for the trucks is piling up owing to lower-than-expected sales.
Tesla&#8217;s inventory in the U.S. still has model year 2024 vehicles in addition to model year 2025 ones. The company is now offering discounts up to $6000 on model year 2024 foundation series Cybertrucks and $4000 on non-foundation series Cybertrucks in its inventory.
The Cybertruck is one of Tesla&#8217;s more premium offerings. The vehicle starts at $79,990 for the base all-wheel drive variant and at $99,990 for the more premium Cyberbeast variant.
According to data from automotive research firm Kelley Blue Book, the Cybertruck was Tesla&#8217;s third best-selling vehicle in the U.S. in 2024, after its mass-market offerings Model 3 and Model Y. The company sold&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42967593/cybertruck-sales-rise-in-2024-weighed-down-on-tesla-model-s-deliveries-in-us-shows-data" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">38,965 units in the 12 months through the end of December</a>, significantly higher than the number of Model S or Model X sold in the country but less than the expected delivery volume for the vehicle. 
Tesla CEO Elon Musk previously said that the company is eyeing a production rate of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42262279/a-year-after-teslas-first-cybertruck-deliveries-the-truck-has-a-long-way-to-go-to-meet-musks-goals">250,000 Cybertrucks a year</a> in 2025. The number seems unlikely given the weak demand.
Analyst Take: Researcher&nbsp;Troy Teslike, who tracks Tesla&#8217;s production and delivery numbers,&nbsp;expects the EV giant to sell just 21,000 Cybertrucks in 2025, lower than the sales of the stainless steel truck in 2024.
"The order backlog is gone. Tesla ended 2024 with 10,600 unsold Cybertrucks because of too much production and low demand," the researcher said earlier this month while also dismissing the possibility of a cheaper Cybertruck variant launch this year.
"A cheaper Cybertruck this year is unlikely because the Cybertruck is not profitable. A cheaper version would make things worse," he said.
Tesla started delivering the Cybertruck in the U.S. four years after unveiling it in November 2023. The company sold only its limited edition foundation series initially, priced nearly $20,000 more than the non-foundation series of the truck. The non-foundation series Cybertucks started to be sold only in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Former U.S. Secretary of Labor, Robert Reich recently expressed his concerns over the governance style and policy decisions of the Trump administration, highlighting a stark contrast between the current state of affairs and his own experiences in the cabinet room.
What Happened: On Thursday, Reich uploaded his latest interview with MSNBC on his official YouTube channel wherein he voiced his concerns about the Trump administration. He criticized Trump&#8217;s first cabinet meeting and called it a &#8220;theatrical performance for the press&#8221;. Reich also called out the lack of real work being done.
Reich also pointed out the contradiction between President Trump&#8217;s promise not&nbsp;to touch Social Security, Medicare&nbsp;or Medicaid and the recent budget resolution that&nbsp;instructs the Energy and Commerce&nbsp;Committee to slash Medicaid by&nbsp;an unprecedented $880 billion. He accused the Trump administration of lying to the public and fostering a culture of loyalty to Trump over loyalty to the U.S. The former Secretary of Labour called this a rise of dictatorship and strongly stated, &#8220;Trump&#8217;s tyranny is undeniable.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Reich&#8217;s criticisms come in the wake of two significant policy decisions by the Trump administration. Reich had <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43774882/donald-trumps-tax-cut-could-add-46-trillion-to-deficit-says-robert-reich-emphasizing-48-billion-relief-for-top-100-us-firms-via-corporate-tax-cuts">previously criticized</a> the Trump administration&#8217;s tax reduction plans for the corporates, terming them as an "absolutely shameless giveaway," that could increase the deficit by $4.6 trillion. 
Meanwhile, despite Trump&#8217;s promise <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43901103/medicaid-faces-880-billion-cuts-but-trump-says-social-security-is-safe">not to cut Social Security or Medicare</a>, the Trump administration could include a Medicaid reduction of $880 billion as part of the larger $2 trillion expenditure cut plan.
Reich&#8217;s comments underscore the growing concerns about the Trump administration&#8217;s governance style and policy decisions, and their potential impact on the American public. Even before Trump resumed his second term, Reich had warned of the likely influence of billionaires such as Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Peter Thiel in the White House. In one of his posts on X, Reich even questioned the rising net worth of Amazon founder, Jeff Bezos, when 87% of jobs at Amazon pay less than $20 an hour.

Robert Reich Slams $880 Billion Medicaid Cuts: 'Trump's Tyranny Is Undeniable'

Billionaire and Department of Government Efficiency lead Elon Musk on Thursday called on retired air traffic controllers to return to work.
What Happened: &#8220;There is a shortage of top notch air traffic controllers,&#8221; Musk said in a post on X, formerly Twitter. &#8220;If you have retired, but are open to returning to work, please consider doing so.&#8221;
Musk&#8217;s post comes on the heels of the FAA calling for entry-level air traffic controllers. Interested candidates can apply now through March 17. 
U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary&nbsp;Sean Duffy said on Thursday that the FAA is streamlining the 8-step hiring process at the agency into a 5-step process. 
&#8220;This will accelerate the time-to-hire for these critical positions by shaving more than four months off the old process. We want the best and brightest to get expedited entry into the academy, and as an incentive to apply, we will be increasing the pay for those in training,&#8221; Duffy said. &#8220;This administration is committed to solving the air traffic control shortage that has existed for too long.&#8221;
Duffy said in a statement that the starting salary for candidates who go to the FAA&#8217;s academy for training will increase by 30%, making the average certified professional controller salary go over $160,000 a year.
What Happened: Earlier this month, Duffy said that the FAA has about 45,000 employees and the new government has let go "less than 400" who were probationary. Those laid off were at the agency for less than a year and did not include air traffic controllers or critical safety personnel, he said.
The Professional Aviation Safety Specialists union&nbsp;told&nbsp;<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga</a>&nbsp;that a total of 130 probationary employees represented by the union were terminated. The terminated job roles include aviation safety assistant, environmental protection specialist, management and program analyst, and maintenance mechanic, among others, it said.
The rising demand for air traffic controllers comes on the heels of multiple plane accidents in the recent past. In January, a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43326442/psa-airlines-jet-falls-in-potomac-river-after-mid-air-crash-with-helicoper">collision between an army helicopter</a> and a plane while it was nearing the runway at Reagan Washington National Airport killed 67 people. 
The FAA is nearly 3,500 air traffic controllers short of its targeted staffing levels.

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) is working on introducing a new technology that could help social media apps identify users under 16 years of age
What Happened: According to a White Paper released by Apple earlier this month, the Tim Cook-led company plans to launch the "Declared Age Range" application programming interface (API) on iOS devices.
This will allow developers to request age range information of users, with parental consent. This system will help apps determine if a user is under 18, 16, or 13, and decide on content accessibility or app usage.
Subscribe to the <a href="https://bztechtrends.beehiiv.com/subscribe">Benzinga Tech Trends newsletter</a> to get all the latest tech developments delivered to your inbox.
Parents will also have the ability to manage their child&#8217;s declared age on Apple devices, ensuring the birth date is accurate. However, the actual birth date will not be shared with apps.
Apple will also revise app age ratings in its store to four categories: 4+, 13+, 16+, and 18+.

Why This Matters: This development comes amid Australia&#8217;s recent legislation <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/24/11/42156355/as-meta-tiktok-x-and-snapchat-stare-at-tough-under-16-ban-australias-pm-says-destroy-personal-data-once-age-is-verified-or-risk-32m-fine">banning</a> under-16s from social media platforms.
The Australian government passed a social media ban for under-16s in December, requiring platforms like TikTok and Instagram to verify user ages.
While Meta and TikTok suggested device makers like Apple and Google should handle age assurance, the responsibility remains with app developers. The government will assess if Apple&#8217;s model meets the &#8220;reasonable steps&#8221; criteria for age verification.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/09/40674661/apple-gears-up-to-push-back-against-legislation-enforcing-age-restrictions-in-app-store-report">Apple&#8217;s opposition</a> to legislation enforcing age restrictions on apps has been a topic of debate. The company has been advocating for data minimization, arguing that requiring users to provide sensitive personal information for age verification is not in the best interest of user privacy and safety.
Apple&#8217;s proposed age verification technology aligns with its commitment to privacy by allowing parents to share only the age range of their children, not their actual birth dates.

Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) has cautioned the Trump administration that the Biden-era &#8220;AI Diffusion Rule,&#8221; might inadvertently strengthen China&#8217;s rapidly expanding AI sector.
What Happened: In a company blog, Brad Smith, the Vice Chair &amp; President of Microsoft highlighted the issues related to the AI Diffusion Rule. In the last days of Joe Biden&#8217;s administration, the U.S. government announced tighter restrictions on AI chip and technology exports, aiming to retain advanced computing power within the country while expanding efforts to limit China&#8217;s access. 
However, it also classifies many significant U.S. allies and partners as Tier Two, restricting U.S. tech firms&#8217; capacity to construct and grow AI data centers in these nations. The countries affected include&nbsp;Poland, Switzerland, Greece, Singapore, Indonesia, India, Israel, the UAE, and&nbsp;Saudi Arabia.
Microsoft expressed concern that this could result in an unexpected outcome: prompting Tier Two nations&nbsp;to explore other options for AI&nbsp;infrastructure and services, possibly to the advantage of China&#8217;s AI sector.
&#8220;Left unchanged, the Biden rule will give China a strategic advantage in spreading over time its own AI technology, echoing its rapid ascent in 5G telecommunications a decade ago,&#8221; stated the Satya Nadella-led company.
The tech behemoth also pointed out the irony of the situation, as the rule discourages what should rather be considered an American economic opportunity &#8211; the export of cutting-edge chips and advanced technology services. It further proposed that the Trump administration could take advantage of this opportunity to simplify the rule, ensuring it does not erode the trust of American allies or disrupt a well-functioning economic market.

Why It Matters: This development comes in the wake of President Donald Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43938959/trump-targets-chinas-tech-sector-with-stricter-biden-era-chip-curbs-it-will-backfire-says-beijing">reportedly considering stricter </a>measures on China&#8217;s semiconductor industry, a move seen as an extension of efforts initiated under the former President Joe Biden administration to curb China&#8217;s technological advancement. 
Microsoft&#8217;s Smith told the Wall Street Journal these restrictions will have a substantial negative impact on the U.S. economy by discouraging other countries from engaging in business with the U.S. Smith believes that startups like DeepSeek, offering cutting-edge AI models at a much lower chip cost, have strong potential to provide an alternative in such a situation.
According to the Wall Street Journal on Thursday, the Trump administration officials are considering measures to tighten restrictions while streamlining export-control regulations.

Microsoft Urges Trump To Avoid This Critical Mistake In Global AI Race, Cautions It Will 'Give China A Strategic Advantage'

Dell Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DELL#NYSE">DELL</a>) reported a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/44025754/dell-technologies-stock-climbs-after-mixed-q4-results-eps-beat-revenues-miss">mixed fourth quarter</a>, however, the management announced an 18% increase in annual dividend and said that it expects the artificial intelligence server business to grow by at least $15 billion in the fiscal year 2026.
What Happened: Despite a revenue miss in the fourth quarter, Dell&#8217;s management remained positive on its AI server business for the fiscal year 2026 during the earnings call.
Talking about the outlook, COO Jeff Clarke said, &#8220;We expect our AI business will grow to at least $15 billion given our robust opportunity pipeline, our engineering, our services and financing advantages. This AI business drives incremental operating profit and is EPS-accretive.&#8221;
Dell&#8217;s ISG business or Infrastructure Solutions Group unit that provides IT infrastructure, software, and services was also expected to grow because of the strength in the AI business.
CEO Yvonne McGill said, ISG will grow in the high teens, driven by $15 billion of AI server shipments and continued growth in traditional server and storage.
The CFO further said that the company will continue to update this estimate.

Why It Matters: Dell topped <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/44025754/dell-technologies-stock-climbs-after-mixed-q4-results-eps-beat-revenues-miss">fourth quarter</a> earnings estimates with EPS of $2.68, but missed on revenue at $23.9 billion. For fiscal 2026, Dell forecasts revenue of $101-$105 billion and adjusted EPS of $9.30, roughly in line with analyst expectations.
