X Owner Elon Musk has stirred up a storm with his latest post on the platform, advocating for the &#8216;liberation&#8217; of the United Kingdom from its current &#8220;tyrannical&#8221; government.
What Happened: On Monday, Musk held a poll on X. &#8220;America should liberate the people of Britain from their tyrannical government,&#8221; he asked his 211 million followers.

The poll has attracted significant attention, with over 35.3 million views and 1.74 million votes. The majority of the voters, 57.8%, were in favor of Musk&#8217;s statement, while 42.2% were against it. At the time of writing there were still seven hours left for the poll to close.
In response to an X user suggesting that the U.K. could become a U.S. state, Musk remarked, &#8220;Not a bad idea.&#8221;

French President Emmanuel Macron has indirectly accused tech mogul Elon Musk of meddling in European politics and supporting a global &#8220;reactionary movement&#8221;.
During his annual speech to French ambassadors in Paris, Macron expressed concern over the influence of a major social network owner in international politics, including German elections, without naming Musk directly, and <a href="https://www.politico.eu/article/emmanuel-macron-elon-musk-new-international-reactionary-movement/">reported</a> Politico.
Macron&#8217;s apprehensions mirror those of Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, who has also expressed concern over Musk&#8217;s political interventions in other countries. Musk, the world&#8217;s richest person, has faced criticism in Europe for his political maneuvers in Germany and the U.K.
In Germany, Musk&#8217;s support for the far-right Alternative for Germany party led to accusations of election interference. In the U.K., he clashed with Prime Minister Keir Starmer and called for Nigel Farage to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42806211/elon-musk-flips-on-trumps-uk-ally-nigel-farage-doesnt-have-what-it-takes">resign as leader</a> of the right-wing Reform party.
Despite the ongoing controversy, Musk responded to Macron&#8217;s speech on social media platform X, indirectly criticizing the French President. Macron has extended an invitation to Musk and US President-elect Donald Trump to attend a summit on artificial intelligence in Paris next month.

Why It Matters: Musk&#8217;s political interventions in the U.K. and Germany have been a topic of controversy but he has maintained a relationship with Macron. In May 2023, Musk was seen at a Rufus Du Sol show in Mexico, hours before he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/23/05/32405340/elon-musk-flies-from-rufus-du-sol-show-to-meeting-with-french-president-macron-slept-in-the">flew to France</a> to meet with Macron.
Following a European tour, Musk returned to Texas after visiting Italy and France. During this visit, Macron <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/06/32910907/elon-musk-wraps-up-europe-tour-macron-seeks-collaboration-says-lets-work-together">posted a picture</a> with Musk captioned, &#8220;Let&#8217;s work together! #ChooseFrance.&#8221;
Musk, together with Vivek Ramaswamy, is set to head the Department of Government Efficiency, a proposed presidential advisory commission, under the incoming Trump administration.
His recent comments seem to echo Trump who has suggested that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/12/42409527/trump-humorously-calls-justin-trudeau-as-governor-days-after-floating-idea-of-canada-dodging-tariffs-as-51st-state-of-america">Canada become a U.S. state</a>. On another occasion, the President-elect suggested <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42678846/trumps-controversial-remarks-on-panama-canal-and-greenland-safeguarding-trade-and-security-or-grabbing-power">purchasing Greenland</a> from Denmark.
On Monday, Musk suggested that Greenland&#8217;s future should be decided by its people. He expressed the belief that they would &#8220;want to be part of America.&#8221; The comments were made after an X user said that Trump&#8217;s son, Donald Trump Jr., was in Greenland.

Musk Holds Poll To Figure Out If US Should 'Liberate' UK, French President Macron Says X Owner Is Backing A New 'Reactionary Movement'

Multiple sources close to the Trump family at Mar-a-Lago are telling People magazine that soon-to-be-First-Lady-again <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/melania-trump">Melania Trump</a> quite likes having the Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and SpaceX CEO <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/elon-musk">Elon Musk </a>around. And the tech billionaire is definitely around. Musk has been staying at one of the cottages on Trump's property at the Florida estate almost since the November elections, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/30/us/politics/elon-musk-trump-mar-a-lago.html">according </a>to the NY Times.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">But It&#8217;s All Good With Melania</h1>
A source <a href="https://people.com/melania-trump-elon-musk-babysitter-for-donald-exclusive-sources-8769671">told</a> People that Melania approves of Musk&#8217;s relationship with her husband as a "net-positive" because Musk can keep an eye on her hubby President-elect Donald Trump.
"Melania is glad to have a babysitter for Donald, and she will find some kind of project to team up with him herself if he stays around," a Palm Beach source told People, noting that the former First Lady "makes the best of things she can&#8217;t control."
The source added that &#8220;Melania has her own life and isn&#8217;t bothered by political dealings her husband has with others. But so far, she has no issues with Musk.&#8221;
A Mar-a-Lago insider predicted that Melania might come up with her own plans to partner with Musk, who along with Vivek Ramaswamy <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/41927289/trump-appoints-elon-musk-and-vivek-ramaswamy-to-lead-doge-targeting-bureaucracy-and-65-trillion-federal-spending-we-will-not-go-gently">will co-direct</a> the newly created&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/department-of-government-efficiency">Department of Government Efficiency&nbsp;</a>(DOGE), aimed at restructuring federal agencies and reducing government spending.

CNN&#8217;s Kaitlan Collins <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/news/elon-musk-hangs-donald-trump-164722815.html">reported</a> in November that Musk has been at Mar-a-Lago &#8220;nearly every single day,&#8221; golfing, dining, sitting in on phone calls with world leaders, and &#8220;weighing in&#8221; on prospective candidates for senior administration jobs.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Working From Home </h1>
As was the case with the first Trump administration, he is continuing to use the family&#8217;s Palm Beach residence as a meeting place and something of a headquarters for his political activities. Again, Melania quite likes the activity, according to People, especially when it comes to Musk.
"Melania is in good spirits and does her own thing, and is not bothered one way or the other by Musk hanging around," a source told People.
"For the most part, she is not involved with subjects her husband is discussing with Musk or anyone else hanging around him. Right now, Trump has a lot of people wanting things from him. She is all too aware of that."

Melania Trump Is Happy With House Guest Elon Musk As 'A Babysitter For Donald'

Investor and entrepreneur Kevin O'Leary, known for his appearances on "Shark Tank," announced on Monday he joined forces with The People's Bid for TikTok in an attempt to purchase the social media platform before the Jan. 19 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42712643/trump-asks-supreme-court-to-delay-tiktok-ban-as-he-pursues-a-political-resolution">deadline for a sale. </a>
The Details: O'Leary declared the move in a <a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/globally-renowned-investor-and-entrepreneur-kevin-oleary-joining-the-peoples-bid-for-tiktok-302342948.html">press release</a> stating he would join The People's Bid for TikTok led by Project Liberty founder Frank McCourt. O'Leary's previous attempt to buy TikTok, a crowdfunding effort, would be folded into The People's Bid for TikTok.

&#8220;Joining The People&#8217;s Bid for TikTok is an opportunity to take action on an issue I&#8217;m deeply passionate about — protecting privacy and creating value for users,&#8221; said Kevin O&#8217;Leary.&nbsp;
&#8220;TikTok has immense potential — not just as a tool for creators and businesses, but as a cornerstone of a more secure, people-centered digital future," O'Leary added.&nbsp;
O'Leary also announced his partnership with The People's Bid for TikTok on the social media platform X.&nbsp;

What Else: The Supreme Court is set to hear arguments on Friday on whether the proposed TikTok ban violates the First Amendment. Congress passed the ban with bipartisan support earlier this year and President Joe Biden signed it into law in April.&nbsp;
The law requires TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, to divest its U.S. operations by Jan. 19 or <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/01/42772746/tiktok-set-for-a-ban-on-jan-19-by-law-but-trump-has-other-plans">face removal</a> from app stores in the U.S.&nbsp;
President-elect Donald Trump originally supported a ban of TikTok, but has since changed his stance on the issue and has requested the deadline for divestiture be extended.
Trump's attorney, D. John Sauer, said Trump is not taking a stance on the case's merits but would like the opportunity to seek a political solution.&nbsp;
"He respectfully requests that the Court consider staying the Act's deadline for divestment of January 19, 2025, while it considers the merits of this case, thus permitting President Trump's incoming administration the opportunity to pursue a political resolution of the questions at issue in the case,&#8221; Sauer said.&nbsp;

Here's How Much $100 Invested In ServiceNow 10 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

Annuities are a popular financial product that can provide tax-deferred growth and guaranteed income. However, as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42728529/suze-orman-warns-medicare-doesnt-cover-everything-why-you-need-2000-for-drugs-and-1676-for-hospital-costs-in-2025">Suze Orman</a> explains on a <a href="https://omny.fm/shows/suze-ormans-women-and-money/ask-kt-and-suze-anything-why-buying-a-condo-can-en">recent episode</a> of her Women &amp; Money podcast, they aren&#8217;t always the best solution for everything.&nbsp;
A listener named Janet wrote into the show and shared her experience with an annuity she purchased six years ago with an inheritance. Now, Janet is asking Orman about the best way to move the funds from her annuity. "Do I have to cash out the annuity or can a brokerage firm have the money transferred for me?" Janet wrote.&nbsp;
Don't Miss:

<li>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>.</li>
</ul>
Here's a breakdown of Janet's situation and Orman's recommendations for those who wish to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/08/40324684/exactly-how-much-cash-will-a-50-000-annuity-pay-you-every-month">cash out an annuity</a>.&nbsp;
Janet invested $50,000 in a variable and index-linked deferred annuity. Over six years, her investment grew to $68,300 – a little over 36% for the total increase. Janet felt like that was a pretty good return, but Orman calculated that the annualized growth rate was only 5.4%. "That is horrific," Orman said.&nbsp;
Janet's annuity was tied to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42737644/us-stocks-poised-open-higher-on-the-trading-day-of-2024-analyst-sees-sp-500-at-7000-in-first-half-of-2025">S&amp;P 500 index</a>, which Orman explained had significantly stronger returns over the same period. However, the nature of index-linked annuities meant Janet only received a percentage of the index's gains, not the full amount.
Orman also emphasized the tax drawbacks of annuities. If Janet cashes out, the $18,300 in growth will be taxed as ordinary income, which could place her in a higher tax bracket. This is a key difference from other investments like mutual funds or ETFs, which are taxed at a lower capital gains rate upon sale.

Additionally, annuities do not offer the "step-up in cost basis" other investments provide. If Janet's beneficiaries inherit the annuity, they would owe ordinary income tax on any gains above her original $50,000 investment. In contrast, inheriting a mutual fund or ETF would mean the beneficiaries pay no taxes on gains due to the step-up in basis.
Orman advised Janet to carefully plan her <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/42073506/i-want-to-buy-a-250000-annuity-whats-the-monthly-income-itll-bring-in">annuity withdrawal</a> to minimize taxes. Assuming Janet is no longer subject to surrender charges – a fee many annuities impose for early withdrawals – Orman suggested splitting the withdrawal over two years.
<ul>
<li>Before Year-End: Janet could withdraw $9,150 (half the gain) and pay taxes in 2024.</li>
<li>After Jan. 1: She could withdraw the remaining $59,150, which includes the rest of her gain and the original principal, spreading the tax liability over two years.</li>
</ul>

By staggering the withdrawals, Janet could reduce her immediate tax burden and avoid a potential spike in her tax bracket.
Orman's advice to Janet illustrates the importance of fully understanding an annuity&#8217;s terms and potential drawbacks before purchasing one. While annuities can be useful for certain situations, they may not be the best investment for everyone, particularly compared to other options like mutual funds or ETFs.
If you're considering cashing out an annuity, evaluate the tax implications and consult with a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-online-financial-advisors">financial advisor</a> to ensure it aligns with your long-term goals.

'Should I Cash Out My Annuity?' Suze Orman Reveals Why This Listener's Investment Isn't As Good As It Seems

Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Ukraine has ranked among the top nations using cryptocurrency. According to the September 2024 Global Adoption Report by Chainanlysis, <a href="https://www.chainalysis.com/blog/2024-global-crypto-adoption-index/">Ukraine is No. 6 in crypto adoption</a>.
The war has caused significant economic instability in Ukraine, including a weakened Hryvnia, Ukraine's national fiat currency, and banking disruptions in many regions, which have limited access to traditional financial services. To limit the exodus of wealth from the country, the Ukraine government put restrictions on cross-border money transfers and foreign fiat currency withdrawals.
The Ukrainian government did embrace cryptocurrency on a regulatory level. From the start of the war, cryptocurrency became a vital channel for timely international donations to NGOs and the Ukrainian government. According to United24, the official fundraising platform for Ukraine, cryptocurrency donations have totaled $923,514,470 from the global community.
With limits on sending money abroad and the rising popularity of cryptocurrency, the beta launch of HitBit Pro, a Ukraine-based fintech platform that offers Telegram integration and a fiat-like experience, has been a natural extension.
"We launched HitBit Pro at the end of November 2024. We did a small campaign in Ukraine, but people around the world can apply, proceed with KYC, and use our service. At this point, we have a lot of Ukrainians who live in Europe, Turkey, Asia (like Bali), and all over the world. With their user experience and feedback, we can find out what to improve in general, but we do the same with feedback from Germans and Poles," <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/i-kucherenko/">Igor Kucherenko</a>, co-founder of HitBit Pro said in an interview with Benzinga.
According to Kucherenko, the company has 10,000 users in the testing stage and has improved the customer experience based on customer feedback.
"We got a lot of valuable feedback, fixed everything, and we're still in the process of upgrading a couple of things. In mid-January, we're planning to have a massive marketing campaign in Ukraine with Ukrainian retailers. For Europe, it will probably be three to four months from now because it's a more complicated process. You have to take it to each country as a separate case.&#8221;

HitBit Pro has helped Ukrainians make international money transfers and is trying to provide an experience similar to fiat and Web2 money transfer services.
"For Ukrainians, it's a great solution to the challenges caused by the restrictions imposed by the National Bank of Ukraine on international transactions. The limits are very low, which makes it hard for families living abroad to transfer money from Ukraine. With HitBit Pro, you can use SEPA to wire money, pay rent, school fees, or even doctors, without relying only on cards," Kucherenko said.
HitBit Pro allows a one-time payment limit of 10,000 euros and a daily transaction limit of 50,000 euros. It also offers physical cards and standard ATM and local bank fees apply.
The goal of HitBit Pro is to provide a seamless service for transfers and payments that bridges the gap between cryptocurrency and traditional finance (TradFi) users. To do that, the company must overcome the perception of cryptocurrency as innately speculative.
"Instead of using traditional fiat cards with lots of restrictions, regulations and compliance, users can use our platform. For most people, when they hear crypto, they think of speculation, investments and volatility. HitBit Pro has nothing to do with that. It's like using fiat, but you pay into your account with crypto instead," said Kucherenko.
Kucherenko described the platform as a conventional nano-bank technology that allows a Visa- or Mastercard-like experience. The only difference is on the backend where payments are made using cryptocurrency instead of fiat.
"The idea is to build a bridge for the 90% of people who have never experienced crypto, showing them how it can be part of their daily lives,&#8221; said Kucherenko.
&#8220;Cash has become almost obsolete now. Transactions are electronic, whether it's traditional money or crypto. There's no real difference between fiat and crypto on the front end for users. When you're traveling, for instance, if you're using a U.S. card in Bali, the system automatically handles currency conversion. The same applies to crypto. The system handles the conversion seamlessly if you have USDT or any other cryptocurrency," said the HitBit Pro co-founder.
Kucherenko compares the HitBit Pro experience to Apple Pay, Google Pay or other popular web-based payment methods. Users don't need to understand blockchain, mining or any technical details. He said it's the same as using Visa or Mastercard. Only the backend is cryptocurrency, and there's no need for complicated procedures to set up or maintain an account or wallet.
"People need to understand that crypto is no longer a pilot project. It's a reality. The sooner they accept it, the faster they can become part of this new world we already live in. Crypto is a currency. Whether people like it or not, it's a reality, and it's becoming a practical tool for daily transactions," said. Kucherenko.

$1000 Invested In This Stock 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Dana White served as the matchmaker who wanted to make a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports-betting/23/08/33606870/musk-vs-zuckerberg-billionaire-bout-latest-odds-reveal-clear-favorite-potential-100-bet-wi"> cage fight between billionaires</a> Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg a reality. While the fight didn't happen, White has now turned to helping one of the billionaires as a member of his company&#8217;s board of directors.
What Happened: White once said a cage fight between Musk and Zuckerberg could<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/06/32988611/elon-musk-vs-mark-zuckerberg-fight-back-on-mom-says-no-but-dana-white-says-lets-make-it-happen"> raise millions of dollars</a> for charity.
"This would be the biggest fight ever in the history of the world. It would break all pay-per-view records," White previously said.
While the fight never happened, White is now tasked with helping Zuckerberg's company as he was named a member of the Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) board of directors on Monday.
White, who is the CEO of the UFC said he makes "fights that people want to see." Now alongside his everyday job, White will help Meta usher in the new era of artificial intelligence.
"I've never been interested in joining a board of directors until I got the offer to join Meta's board. I am a huge believer that social media and AI are the future," White said.
White said he's excited to learn more about Meta from the inside and to join the incredible team.
"There is nothing I love more than building brands, and I look forward to helping take Meta to the next level."
The appointment of White brings a Donald Trump ally closer to the social media executive and could create synergies between UFC and Meta. While Trump and Zuckerberg <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/12/42454227/months-after-trump-threatened-to-put-mark-zuckerberg-in-prison-meta-ceo-donates-1m-to-president-elects-inaugural-event">previously clashed</a> over social media bans imposed on the former president, Zuckerberg recently met with Trump and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/12/42454227/months-after-trump-threatened-to-put-mark-zuckerberg-in-prison-meta-ceo-donates-1m-to-president-elects-inaugural-event">donated to his inauguration fund.</a>
The announcement of White joining the Meta board comes on the same day that WWE, which like UFC is owned by TKO Group Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TKO#NYSE">TKO</a>), is set to make its live debut on streaming giant Netflix.

Other Board Appointees: Alongside White, two other Meta board of directors appointees were announced Monday.
Exor CEO John Elkann and investor Charlie Songhurst were also announced as new Meta board members.
Exor, which is controlled by the Agnelli family, is one of the largest European investment companies, according to the press release. Elkann is the executive chairman of both Stellantis NV (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLA#NYSE">STLA</a>) and Ferrari NV (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RACE#NYSE">RACE</a>). Exor owns stakes in Stellantis, Ferrari, CNH, Phillips, Louboutin and Juventus Football Club.
"I look forward to bringing my global experience and long-term perspective to the board as Meta continues to shape and push the next frontiers of innovation and technology," Elkann said.
Songhurst is an investor specializing in the technology sector and startups. He previously worked at Microsoft helping with partnerships and M&amp;A.
"As part of Meta's advisory group, I've seen firsthand the opportunities to scale new products and grow AI and enterprise capabilities," Songhurst said.
Zuckerberg highlighted the AI opportunity in Monday's announcement.
"Dana, John and Charlie will add a depth of expertise and perspective that will help us tackle the massive opportunities ahead with AI, wearables and the future of human connection," Zuckerberg said.
META Price Action: Meta stock closed Monday up 4.23% to $630.20 versus a 52-week trading range of $352.05 to $638.40. Meta shares were up 0.66% to $634.35 in after-hours trading. The stock is up 76% over the past year.
TKO shares traded higher on news of the announcement in the after-hours trading market before returning to the $141.63 level it closed at Monday at the time of writing.

Enovix Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ENVX#NASDAQ">ENVX</a>) shares are rising in extended trading Monday after the company announced the completion of site acceptance testing for its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/g42831392/enovix-completes-site-acceptance-testing-sat-of-fab2">Fab2 in Malaysia</a>.
What Happened: Enovix said it completed&nbsp;site acceptance testing for its high-volume manufacturing line at Fab2&nbsp;in late December. The battery manufacturing company plans to begin mass production later this year.
The site acceptance testing validates the readiness of the company&#8217;s manufacturing equipment and marks the final stage of factory acceptance testing before commercial-scale production begins. Enovix noted the milestone shows Fab2 is fully equipped to produce high-performance silicon batteries at volume.
&#8220;The completion of SAT represents a turning point for Fab2 and for Enovix,&#8221; said Raj Talluri, CEO of Enovix.
&#8220;It reflects the dedication of our team and our commitment to operational excellence. With significant customer interest in our cutting-edge technology, Fab2 will enable us to meet large-scale production demands while maintaining the highest quality standards.&#8221;

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Is ENVX A Good Stock To Buy?</h1>
An investor can make a few decisions when deciding whether a stock is a good buy. In addition to valuation metrics and price action which you can find on Benzinga's quote pages — such as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ENVX">Enovix</a>&#8216;s page, for example — there are factors like whether or not a company pays a dividend or buys a large portion of its stock each quarter.
These are known as capital allocation programs. Enovix does not pay a dividend, but has a few ways it can return value to shareholders. Feel free to search Benzinga's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/dividends">dividend calendar</a> for the next company that is due to pay a dividend and determine what kind of yield you can earn for holding a share of the company.
Buyback programs are obviously different and highly variable. A company can approve a buyback program and purchase shares as it sees fit over the course of time in which the buyback was authorized. Looking through the latest news on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ENVX">Enovix</a> will often yield whether or not the company has approved a buyback program recently. Buyback programs usually serve as a support for share prices, serving as a backstop for demand.

A Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) analyst sees upcoming revamped and new vehicle models helping to boost sales along with Full Self-Driving licensing potential, brushing aside the company's recent<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/01/42766117/tesla-stock-tumbles-on-q4-deliveries-whats-going-on"> fourth-quarter delivery miss.</a>
The Tesla Analyst: Tesla analyst Stephen Gengaro reiterated a Buy rating on Tesla. He also raised the price target from $441 to $492.
Read Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41501607/tesla-q3-earnings-highlights-eps-beat-revenue-miss-shares-climb-on-2025-timeline-for-lower-cost-evs">Tesla Q3 Earnings Highlights: EPS Beat, Revenue Miss, Shares Climb On 2025 Timeline For Lower-Cost EVs</a>
The Analyst Takeaways: The upcoming rollout of the "Model 2" from Tesla is a catalyst, Gengaro said in a new investor note.
Strong demand is anticipated for the lower-priced Model 2, according to the analyst. The introduction of this new vehicle could serve as a new way for Tesla vehicles to be more accessible to a wider range of consumers.
The analyst also highlighted the company's revamped Model 3 and a Model Y refresh as items that could boost vehicle sales, as <a href="https://in.investing.com/news/analyst-ratings/stifel-lifts-tesla-stock-target-buy-rating-on-growth-outlook-93CH-4598738">reported </a>by Investing.com.
"We believe Tesla is very well positioned to deliver robust multi-year growth in 2025-27+," Gengaro said in the note, as <a href="https://x.com/SawyerMerritt/status/1876294513138012509">shared </a>by Sawyer Merritt.
The analyst considers the potential removal of $7,500 in electric vehicle tax credits under the new White House administration as an advantage for Tesla over competitors.
Outside of vehicle sales, the analyst also highlights Tesla's Full Self-Driving and artificial intelligence initiatives that could bring value and revenue to the company and its shares.
"We also believe Tesla's AI-based Full Self-Driving initiative has the potential to generate significant value through both sales of FSD, possible licensing agreements, and a critical part of longer-term Cybercab initiatives."
The analyst's price target increase comes after the delivery miss and the company posting its first annual sales decline on a year-over-year basis. Analysts <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/01/42777950/teslas-first-sales-drop-splits-wall-street-2025-will-be-the-prove-it-year">continue to debate</a> what the short-term and long-term looks like for the electric vehicle leader with new vehicles, robotaxis and FSD among the most covered topics.
Tesla will report fourth-quarter financial results after the market closes on Jan. 29. 
Price Action: Tesla stock was up 0.2% to $411.05 on Monday versus a 52-week trading range of $138.80 to $488.54. Tesla stock is up 71% over the last year.

Tesla Stock 'Well Positioned To Deliver Robust Multi-Year Growth': Why Analyst Is Raising Price Target After Deliveries Miss

New York City&#8217;s congestion toll program launched on Sunday, adding new fees for drivers and rideshare customers. Uber Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>) and LYFT, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LYFT#NASDAQ">LYFT</a>) lobbied in favor of congestion tolls and are positioned to benefit<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/01/42806918/new-york-citys-historic-congestion-pricing-starts-sunday-uber-and-lyft-passengers-to-pay-for-entering-manhattan"> from the new fees. </a>
What To Know: The new congestion toll program is intended to reduce traffic congestion, improve air quality and raise funds for the city's mass transit system. Most drivers entering Manhattan&#8217;s Congestion Relief Zone, south of 60th Street, will be charged a $9 toll during peak hours while rideshare services will be charged significantly less $1.50 per vehicle.

According to <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/01/04/us-news/uber-lyft-spent-millions-pushing-for-nyc-congestion-pricing-and-stand-to-make-killing/">a report </a>from the New York Post, Uber and Lyft have spent millions of dollars lobbying in favor of the congestion toll program and stand to benefit from its rollout.
According to the New York Post report, Lyft contributed $18,500 in each of the last four years to Gov. Kathy Hochul's campaign, which championed the new congestion tolls. The Post also reported that Uber spent $2 million between 2015 and 2019 to promote congestion tolls. 
Why It Matters: Uber and Lyft are passing the additional fee to the customer so the increased tolls will not directly affect the companies' bottom lines. The companies could also benefit from reduced traffic leading to faster service and from drivers switching to ridesharing services in order to avoid higher tolls.&nbsp;
Lyft announced it is refunding the new $1.50 congestion fee in the form of a credit for future trips for all rides completed in the month of January.&nbsp;
"Since 2019 rideshare riders have already paid a $2.75 congestion fee to the MTA for rides that start, end or pass through a separate congestion zone that begins below 96th Street in Manhattan. We don't think riders should be double taxed, and we lobbied hard for them to be exempt from this new additional $1.50 congestion fee," the company said in <a href="https://www.lyft.com/blog/posts/navigating-the-new-nyc-congestion-fee-with-lyft">a statement</a> released last week.&nbsp;
Josh Gold, a Uber spokesman, told the New York Post that the company was "early supporters of congestion pricing" but "government can't continue to raise prices and fees on New Yorkers and expect no consequences."
The full impact of congestion tolling on the rideshare services will become clearer as future ridership figures come in.&nbsp;

<h2>볼트 리튬</h2>
볼트 리튬(OTCQB:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VLTLF#OTCQB">VLTLF</a>)는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/24/06/39480795/exclusive-volt-lithium-ceo-touts-6b-cash-flow-opportunity" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">유전 염수에서 리튬 추출</a>을 위한 기술 발전에 주력하는 캐나다의 주니어 자원 회사이다. 이 회사는 독점적인 직접 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/24/06/39480795/exclusive-volt-lithium-ceo-touts-6b-cash-flow-opportunity" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">리튬 추출 기술</a>을 통해 총 생산 비용을 톤당 2,900달러 미만으로 달성할 수 있으므로 염수 기반 리튬의 최초 상업적 생산자가 되는 것을 목표로 하고 있다. 리튬 가격은 2022년 최고치인 8만 달러에서 하락한 후에도 톤당 1만 달러 선을 맴돌고 있다.
경험이 풍부한 기업가인 알렉스 와일리(Alex Wylie)의 리더십 아래, 이 회사는 텍사스 퍼미안 분지에 테스트 시설을 설립했다. 다음 이정표는 이 회사가 하루에 10,000배럴의 유전 염수를 처리할 수 있는 차세대 현장 장치를 시운전할 계획인 다음 몇 주에 걸쳐 예정되어 있다. 주가는 연초 대비 11.61% 상승했다.
<h2>노던 슈피리어</h2>
노던 슈피리어(OTCQB:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NSUPF#OTCQB">NSUPF</a>)는 퀘벡과 온타리오에 프로젝트를 둔 주니어 금광 회사이다. 이 회사는 치부가마우(Chibougamau) 광산 지구를 개발하는 데 주력하고 있으며, 여기에서 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/24/08/40135946/exclusive-northern-superior-ceo-simon-marcotte-explains-companys-strategic-expansion-future-p" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">300만 온스 이상</a>의 금 매장량을 보유한 4개 사이트를 소유하고 있다. 이 자원들은 물리적으로 가까이 위치해 있어 단일 운영 설계를 지원하고 단일 제련소에 공급할 수 있다.
CEO 사이먼 마코트(Simon Marcotte)는 벤징가와의 인터뷰에서 &#8220;치부가마우 금 캠프는 증가하는 관심을 받고 있으며, 퀘벡 최대 은행인 내셔널 뱅크(National Bank)와 캠프를 아이엠골드(IAMGOLD)의 다음 성장 단계로 확인한 아이엠골드의 주관회사를 포함한다&#8221;고 말했다. 마코트는 2025년에도 이 부문에서 긍정적인 M&amp;A 트렌드가 계속될 것으로 예상하고, 퀘벡과 같은 최고의 관할권에 집중할 것이라고 밝혔다.
또한 이 회사는 자사의 온타리오 자산을 온골드 리소스(OTCQB:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ONGRF#OTCQB">ONGRF</a>)로 분사하였으며, 노던 슈피리어는 62% 지분을 보유하고 있다. 애그니코 이글 마인스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AEM#NYSE">AEM</a>)는 세계 3위 금 생산업체로 15% 지분을 보유하고 있다. 노던 슈피리어의 주가는 올해 들어 7.25% 하락했다.

시에라 마드레 골드 앤 실버(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMDRF#OTC">SMDRF</a>)는 캐나다와 멕시코에서 프로젝트에 주력하는 광물 탐사 회사이다. 이 회사의 대표 프로젝트는 멕시코 톨루카 근처에 위치한 기타라(Guitarra) 은-금 광산이다. 이 프로젝트는 지하에서 운영되기 때문에, 국가에서 논의되고 있는 노천 광산 채굴 금지의 잠재적 영향을 받지 않는다.
