Tesla’s falling car deliveries and declining profitability on the mainland have not stopped its Chinese electric-car rivals from imitating the US firm’s transition into an artificial intelligence entity. Xpeng , Li Auto and Nio , dubbed as Tesla challengers over the past decade, have taken similar steps to diversify into emerging technologies and position themselves for the future of transport. These Chinese firms are now building next-generation vehicles, flying cars, robots and chips to create their own ecosystems and offer consumers alternatives to existing transport options, competing against their US rival on these new fronts.

As reports about a possible merger between Elon Musk-led Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) and SpaceX surface, a post by the billionaire from last year has resurfaced, which seemingly teases possible mergers between Musk's enterprises. A ‘Convergence' In a post back in November last year, Musk responded to influencer Sawyer Merritt after the latter shared a post detailing former Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas' views on possible collaborations between xAI and Tesla. "My companies are, surprisingly in some ways, trending towards convergence," Musk said in the post. At the time, Musk could be hinting at increased collaboration. However, it raises the question: Was Musk teasing a merger the whole time? SpaceX IPO The news comes as SpaceX is said to be preparing for an IPO this year, with talks of its public listing surfacing since Musk hinted at such an event at the Tesla annual shareholder meeting last November. Tesla's Q4 Earnings Meanwhile, Tesla held its fourth-quarter earnings call this week, which saw Musk announcing a push towards autonomous vehicles as Tesla discontinued the company's Model S and Model X vehicles. According to Benzinga Edge Rankings, Tesla scores well on the Momentum metric and offers a favorable price trend in the Long term. Price Action: TSLA slid 3.23% to $416.56 at market close on Thursday, but jumped 2.45% to $426.78 during the overnight session.

Artificial intelligence is the greatest investment opportunity of our lifetime. The time to invest in groundbreaking AI is now, and this stock is a steal! AI is eating the world—and the machines behind it are ravenous. Each ChatGPT query, each model update, each robotic breakthrough consumes massive amounts of energy. In fact, AI is already pushing global power grids to the brink. Wall Street is pouring hundreds of billions into artificial intelligence—training smarter chatbots, automating industries, and building the digital future. But there’s one urgent question few are asking: Where will all of that energy come from? AI is the most electricity-hungry technology ever invented. Each data center powering large language models like ChatGPT consumes as much energy as a small city. And it’s about to get worse. Even Sam Altman, the founder of OpenAI, issued a stark warning: “The future of AI depends on an energy breakthrough.” Elon Musk was even more blunt: “AI will run out of electricity by next year.” As the world chases faster, smarter machines, a hidden crisis is emerging behind the scenes. Power grids are strained. Electricity prices are rising. Utilities are scrambling to expand capacity. And that’s where the real opportunity lies… One little-known company—almost entirely overlooked by most AI investors—could be the ultimate backdoor play. It’s not a chipmaker. It’s not a cloud platform. But it might be the most important AI stock in the US owns critical energy infrastructure assets positioned to feed the coming AI energy spike.

Indonesia is moving to fast-track the demutualization of its stock exchange this year in a bid to broaden access to capital and draw new investors after a week of sharp market volatility. The reform is aimed at strengthening governance and boosting liquidity in the market, which has faced volatility in recent months, Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto said at a press conference on Friday. The plan marks a significant step in aligning the Indonesia Stock Exchange with global peers that have already transitioned to shareholder-owned structures. The country saw a two-day market rout sparked by MSCI Inc.’s warning of a possible downgrade.
