Tesla stock rises as Musk puts a Feb. 14 deadline on buying Full Self-Driving outright

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 10:16 EST — Regular session Tesla shares climbed Thursday following CEO Elon Musk’s announcement that the company plans to eliminate the one-time purchase option for its Full Self-Driving (FSD) software next month, switching buyers exclusively to a subscription model.

Micron (MU) stock jumps before the bell as TSMC outlook sparks chip rally

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 07:30 (EST) — Premarket Micron Technology shares climbed 3.1% to $343.67 in premarket trade Thursday, rebounding after a 1.4% drop the day before. (Public) This move is significant because Micron has turned into a quick play on the memory shortage fueling the AI surge. High-bandwidth memory (HBM) — the stacked DRAM positioned near AI chips for rapid data transfer — remains the scarcest segment of the market, and even slight changes in sentiment can slam the stock. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co’s better-than-expected quarter and upbeat spending outlook set the tone for chip stocks. U.S. index

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, Jan 15, 2026, 06:02 EST At least two new billboards carrying Palantir Technologies’ name have appeared around Youngstown, Ohio, setting off local speculation about why the data-software company is targeting the area and whether it is fishing for hires or something bigger.
