Warren Buffett says Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) waited too long to hand the wheel to Greg Abel, calling his longtime lieutenant "a natural" and admitting it would have been "unfair" to deny him the top job any longer.
What Happened: Buffett, 94, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/warren-buffett-reveals-he-stepped-down-after-finally-feeling-his-age-b060251f">told</a> The Wall Street Journal that he will step down as chief executive in December, ending a six-decade run that turned his investing vehicle into a $900 billion conglomerate. Abel, 62, will move up from vice chairman, where he already supervises the company's non-insurance giants spanning railroads, utilities and manufacturing.
Buffett, 94, told The Wall Street Journal that he will step down as chief executive in December, ending a six-decade run that turned his investing vehicle into a $900 billion conglomerate. Abel, 62, will move up from vice chairman, where he already supervises the company's non-insurance giants spanning railroads, utilities and manufacturing.
"He's a natural," Buffett said.

Buffett conceded that aging finally caught him. "I didn't really start getting old … until I was about 90," he said, noting balance issues and fading eyesight. "The difference in energy level and just how much he (Greg Abel) could accomplish in a 10-hour day compared to what I could accomplish… the difference became more and more dramatic," Buffett said.
Buffett heaped more praise on Abel, saying he&#8217;s a lot like him in the way he doesn&#8217;t get fearful when &#8220;there's a panic in the market&#8221;. "He will have ideas about where money should be invested," Buffett said.
Why It Matters: At Berkshire's May 3 annual meeting, Buffett <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45184410/warren-buffett-to-step-down-as-berkshire-hathaway-ceo-by-end-of-year-asks-board-to-confirm-greg-abel-as-successor">told shareholders</a> "the time has arrived where Greg should become the chief executive of the company at year end," cementing the long-telegraphed hand-off to Abel. Meanwhile, in an interview, Berkshire Hathaway board lead director Sue Decker's has said that Abel is "much <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45183000/warren-buffetts-right-hand-man-greg-abel-is-quietly-taking-over-day-to-day-leadership-at-berkshire-hathaway-gotten-much-more-involved-in-capital-allocation-decisions">more involved</a> in capital-allocation decisions," proof the transition is already happening behind the curtain.
Buffett has been equally blunt about rumors he's hoarding Berkshire's record $348 billion cash pile to give his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45184366/buffett-dismisses-rumors-of-stockpiling-cash-for-successor-greg-abel-i-wouldnt-do-anything-nearly-so-noble-just-so-greg-could-look-good">heir an easy victory</a>, joking, "I wouldn't do anything nearly so noble as to withhold investing myself just so Greg could look good." He added that he's still prepared to deploy "$20 billion, or even $100 billion" whenever opportunity knocks, pointing to the fact that the CEO switch won't clip his own investing wings.

Warren Buffett Explains Why He Couldn't Deny Greg Abel The Top Job At Berkshire Hathaway Any Longer: 'He's A Natural'

An Official Trump (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">TRUMP</a>) holder said he secured a place at the upcoming exclusive dinner with President&nbsp;Donald Trump for a mere $1,200, according to a report on Wednesday.
What Happened: Cryptocurrency enthusiast Morten Christensen and his group were among the top 220 holders of Trump&#8217;s memecoin, according to a <a href="https://trumpdinner.gettrumpmemes.com/leaderboard">leaderboard </a>tracking the cryptocurrency&#8217;s biggest buyers over the last three weeks. The dinner, scheduled for next week, required at least $54,500 in time-weighted holdings to secure a spot, Fortune <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/05/14/trump-memecoin-dinner-crypto-national-gold-club/">said </a>in a report.
However, Christensen and his friends managed to attend the event&nbsp;for just about $1,200 each.&nbsp;Their strategy involved buying the Trump memecoin and shorting the exact same amount, resulting in a market-neutral position. This basically meant that they spent only on trading fees. 
They sold their Trump tokens and closed their short positions immediately after the dinner&#8217;s winners were announced on Monday. A post on Christensen&#8217;s X account showed a snippet of the mail invitation he received from the memecoin team.

Christensen stated that they originally ignored the gala dinner notice, believing it would be very competitive. However, they later developed a software program to monitor leaderboard changes and predict the holdings amount needed to secure a top 220 placement.
Benzinga reached out to Christensen for additional information, and the story will be updated if he responds.
Why It Matters: The Trump memecoin dinner has been a topic of significant controversy, with critics arguing that it allows wealthy and possibly foreign actors to buy access to the former president. 
Last month, Democratic lawmaker Sen.&nbsp;Jon Ossoff&nbsp;(D-Ga.) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/45027557/trumps-memecoin-dinner-event-sparks-impeachment-call-from-democratic-senator-says-potus-is-selling-access-to-those-who-enrich-him">called for Trump&#8217;s impeachment</a>, while Sen.&nbsp;Elizabeth Warren&nbsp;(D-Mass.)&nbsp;requested an investigation into his potential violation of federal ethics regulations.
The dinner&#8217;s guest list, revealed earlier this week, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45367052/trump-memecoin-exclusive-dinner-guest-list-revealed-with-justin-sun-shining-at-the-top-report">included wallets linked to foreign entities</a>. Tron (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/trx/usd">TRX</a>) founder Justin Sun is speculated to be the biggest holder, with investments worth over $17 million.
Price Action: At the time of writing, TRUMP was exchanging hands at $12.81, down 6.21 in the last 24 hours, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA.." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>. Since its peak, the meme coin has plunged 82%.

The security of publicly traded U.S. solar companies is in focus as Chinese communication devices were found in critical renewable energy infrastructure, particularly power inverters.
What Happened: These devices, discovered during security checks of equipment, bypass typical firewall protections despite remote access capabilities being standard for updates and maintenance, reported Reuters.
Communication devices have been found in the batteries of several Chinese suppliers over the last nine months, as per the report.
The U.S. Department of Energy said that while these features and functionality &#8220;may not have malicious intent, it is critical for those procuring to have a full understanding of the capabilities of the products received.&#8221;
Some U.S.-based solar companies that could be in focus by the presence of undocumented devices in their supply include the following.

Why It Matters: Citing national security concerns, two U.S. Senators introduced the Decoupling from Foreign Adversarial Battery Dependence Act in February 2025. This action prohibited the Department of Homeland Security from procuring batteries from some Chinese entities, effective October 2027.
The six Chinese companies targeted included Contemporary Amperex Technology Company, BYD Company, Envision Energy, EVE Energy Company, Hithium Energy Storage Technology Company, and Gotion High-tech Company.

Ericsson Commits To R&D Investment In Japan, Plans To Create Up To 300 High-Skilled Telecom Jobs

General Motors Co.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) has announced the development of a revolutionary EV battery technology, aiming to secure a leading position in the market with its cost-effective solution for large electric SUVs and trucks.
What Happened: GM is spearheading a unique EV battery technology that is set to reduce costs and boost the profitability of its largest electric vehicles. The new lithium manganese-rich (LMR) prismatic battery cells are anticipated to be integrated into full-size electric vehicles, such as the Chevrolet Silverado and Escalade IQ, beginning in 2028, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/13/gm-new-ev-battery-tech.html">reported</a> CNBC.
The innovative batteries employ more abundant and less expensive minerals such as manganese, replacing larger quantities of cobalt and nickel&nbsp;used in EV batteries at present. This shift in battery chemistry influences several factors, including the range, safety, energy efficiency and charging capabilities of EVs.
&#8220;LMR unlocks the premium range&nbsp;and performance at an affordable&nbsp;cost,&#8221; stated&nbsp;Kurt Kelty,&nbsp;the vice president of battery,&nbsp;propulsion, sustainability at General Motors. He further described it as a &#8220;game-changing battery for electric trucks.&#8221;
GM is developing its new battery technology in collaboration with LG Energy Solution. Ultium Cells, the joint venture, aims to begin commercial production of LMR prismatic cells in the U.S. by 2028, with preproduction set to start at an LG Energy Solution facility by late 2027.

Why It Matters: This announcement comes at a critical time for GM. Earlier in May, the company had to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45150325/gm-cut-its-2025-forecast-on-tariffs-but-core-business-holds-up-says-goldman-sachs">revise its 2025 forecast</a>&nbsp;due to tariff uncertainty, impacting its estimated earnings by $4.0 billion to $5.0 billion. 
Furthermore, the federal EV credit program, a significant incentive for EV buyers, is under threat of being&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45277309/house-gop-representatives-want-to-axe-federal-ev-credit-amid-trumps-tax-cuts-report">eliminated by House Republicans</a>. In this context, GM&#8217;s new battery technology could be a game-changer, potentially reducing costs and increasing the appeal of its EVs, thereby boosting sales and offsetting these challenges.
In March, a Reuters report revealed that Hyundai Motors and General Motors are nearing a deal where Hyundai would supply two electric commercial van models to GM, while GM may provide pickup trucks for Hyundai to sell under its brand in North America. The talks could lead to a broader partnership, including joint efforts in chip procurement, next-gen batteries and battery materials.
Benzinga&#8217;s Edge Rankings place General Motors in the 80th percentile for quality and the 91st percentile for value, reflecting its strong performance in both areas.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Check the detailed report here.</a>

YouTube is leveraging Google&#8216;s Gemini artificial intelligence technology to help advertisers target viewers precisely when they&#8217;re most captivated, potentially boosting ad effectiveness and creator revenue.
What Happened: The video platform announced &#8220;Peak Points,&#8221; a new AI-powered tool that identifies moments of heightened viewer engagement and strategically places ads immediately after these attention peaks. 
Alphabet Inc. (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>) unveiled the feature Wednesday at its YouTube Brandcast event in New York.
Peak Points analyzes video elements, including frames and transcripts, to determine optimal ad placement timing. Currently in pilot phase, the technology will roll out more broadly throughout the year.

Why It Matters: The tool represents another step in Alphabet&#8217;s AI monetization strategy amid its broader push to integrate artificial intelligence across its product ecosystem. This comes as the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44995955/alphabet-q1-earnings-highlights-google-search-youtube-cloud-show-robust-momentum">company reported first-quarter revenue</a> of $90.23 billion, up 12% year-over-year, with YouTube ad revenue reaching $8.9 billion, up from $8.1 billion in the previous year.
Google&#8217;s AI initiative extends beyond advertising. Last week, the company deployed on-device Gemini Nano to detect and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45314987/google-deploys-on-device-gemini-ai-to-fight-online-scams-blocks-millions-of-fraud-pages-in-real-time">block fraudulent websites in real-time</a> across Chrome, Search and Android systems—blocking millions of scam pages daily.
This AI-driven advertising enhancement arrives as competition intensifies in the search market, with AI startup Perplexity recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/financing/25/05/45358069/perplexitys-14-billion-valuation-ignites-google-search-engine-shakeup">valued at $14 billion</a>, up from $9 billion just six months ago, positioning it as a potential challenger to Google&#8217;s search dominance.
