Here&#8217;s a look at the Benzinga Stock Whisper Index for the week ending June 6:
TTM Technologies (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TTMI#NASDAQ">TTMI</a>): the technology solutions company saw strong interest from readers during the week with no major news reported. The stock has been soaring over the last year, hitting new all-time highs recently. On May 9, the company announced a $100 million share buyback that could help boost future earnings per share. The company beat analyst estimates for earnings per share in the first quarter, marking two straight beats and beating analyst estimates for eps in seven of the last eight quarters. The lone non-beat was an in-line figure in that time period. The company also beat analyst revenue projections in the first quarter, marking five straight quarterly beats. The stock was up around 5% over the last week, as shown on the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0606"> Benzinga Pro chart</a> below.

Shell PLC (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHEL#NYSE">SHEL</a>): The oil and gas stock saw increased interest from readers during the week with minimal news. The big news for the sector in recent weeks was the decision by OPEC to keep output unchanged after discussing increasing output for the month of July. This decision could keep the price of oil steady. In May, the company announced quarterly results with earnings per share beating analyst estimates and revenue missing estimates. In May, the company also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/25/05/45664619/shell-boosts-nigerian-deepwater-assets-with-totalenergies-stake-purchase">announced a deal</a> between its Nigeria Exploration segment and TotalEnergies SE's Nigeria Limited segment, which increases Shell's total ownership from 55% to 67.5%. The deal comes as Shell is looking to increase its total production annually.

Spotify Technology (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPOT#NYSE">SPOT</a>): The music streaming company saw shares hit all-time highs thanks to some analyst upgrades and notes. A <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst-color/25/06/45750281/spotify-stock-smashes-records-goldman-sees-200-billion-music-streaming-market-by-2035">report from Goldman Sachs</a> said the global music market could double in size over the next decade with Spotify a potential winner. The report predicts global paid subscribers for music streaming will hit 1.51 billion by 2035 with 75% of the growth coming from emerging markets. Spotify had a 35% market share for global paid music streaming in 2024 with 263 million subscribers. Goldman Sachs said Spotify could further monetize their user base with fan promotions and selling concert tickets. JPMorgan also recently raised the price target on Spotify from $670 to $730 while maintaining an Overweight rating. Canaccord recently maintained a Buy rating and raised the price target from $700 to $775. Another item potentially helping Spotify could be a rush of Taylor Swift fans, aka Swifties, to the platform to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/entertainment/25/06/45783291/spotify-early-winner-from-taylor-swift-buying-back-old-albums-a-love-story-for-fans-streaming-company">listen to her older songs</a> and records now that she owns the rights to all of her music.

Cellebrite (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CLBT#NASDAQ">CLBT</a>): Digital intelligence company Cellebrite saw increased interest from readers during the week, likely the result of the company announcing its <a href="https://investors.cellebrite.com/news-releases/news-release-details/cellebrite-acquire-corellium">acquisition </a>of Corellium, a leading in Arm-based virtualization software. The company said the combination will lead to new standards for digital investigations and smart device security. The acquisition is expected to expand the total addressable market size for Cellebrite's public and private sector efforts. Needham analysts also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CLBT/analyst-ratings">reiterated a Buy rating </a>on Cellebrite with a $24 price target recently.  
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href=" https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0606"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1001" height="502" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/06174754/Screenshot-442.png" alt="" class="wp-image-941861" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/06174754/Screenshot-442.png 1001w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/06174754/Screenshot-442-300x150.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/06174754/Screenshot-442-768x385.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1001px) 100vw, 1001px" /></a></figure>
Axon Enterprises (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AXON#NASDAQ">AXON</a>): Shares of the cloud-based digital evidence company and owner of the TASER devices hit new all-time highs recently. The stock saw increased interest from readers during the week. The interest likely stems from a Bank of America <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AXON/analyst-ratings">analyst note </a>with a Buy rating maintained and the price target going up from $750 to $895. The interest in Axon Enterprises comes after the company<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45271559/axon-enterprise-stock-pops-on-q1-earnings-key-details"> beat analyst estimates</a> for revenue and earnings per share in the first quarter. The company also raised full-year guidance for revenue after the first-quarter beat. Axon was previously on the Stock Whisper Index <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44333602/benzingas-stock-whisper-index-5-stocks-investors-secretly-monitor-but-dont-talk-about-yet">in March</a> and has been a top performing stock with shares up over 180% over the last year.

Benzinga's 'Stock Whisper' Index: 5 Stocks Investors Secretly Monitor But Don't Talk About Yet

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>) co-founder Larry Page called artificial intelligence "the ultimate version of Google" back in 2000, a prediction the company now treats as marching orders.
What Happened: In that 2000 <a href="https://changeminds.wordpress.com/2009/01/18/inspiring-interview-with-larry-page-founder-of-google/">interview</a> at the International Achievement Summit, Page explained his vision of AI for Google as &#8220;the ultimate search engine that would understand everything on the Web. It would understand exactly what you wanted, and it would give you the right thing.&#8221;
In the very next sentence, Page conceded that Google was "nowhere near" that goal, even with 6,000 servers and an index "70 miles high."
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio">

</div>

Page framed the challenge as an engineering puzzle that would require a marriage of unprecedented computing power with an ocean of public data.
Google engineers cracked a key piece in 2017 with the "Attention Is All You Need" <a href="https://research.google/pubs/attention-is-all-you-need/">paper</a>, unveiling the transformer architecture that underpins today's large-language models. The design lets models read entire sentences at once, turbo-charging accuracy and spawning chatbots able to draft text and field open-ended questions.

Alphabet&#8217;s current CEO, Sundar Pichai, emphasized Google&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/23/09/34455741/for-alphabet-ceo-sundar-pichai-googles-race-for-ai-dominance-against-microsoft-is-still-on">transition</a> to being &#8220;AI-first&#8221; in 2016, but Page's 25-year-old roadmap shows the ambition ran deeper.
Why It Matters: Fast-forward to 2024, Google has rolled out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43485518/google-ais-search-revenue-matches-traditional-ads-says-alphabet-but-there-is-rising-competition-from-openai-perplexity-deepseek">AI Overviews</a> which are brief answers generated by its Gemini model that sit atop traditional links and aim to "do the searching for you." The feature already drives material revenue, Alphabet executives told investors, even as publishers like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/25/02/43930715/google-sued-over-ai-search-overviews-education-company-says-tech-giant-is-stealing-content-and-driving-publishers-out-of-business">Chegg sue</a> over content reuse.
Meanwhile, a report from earlier in the year suggests Larry Page is likely building a new <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44184371/google-co-founder-larry-pages-ai-startup-could-change-product-manufacturing-forever-report">AI-backed startup</a> called Dynatomics, an enterprise focused on improving manufacturing processes. The Google co-founder currently has a net worth of $153 billion, making him the seventh wealthiest person in the world, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/billionaires/profiles/lawrence-e-page/">Index</a>. Page still holds on to a considerable amount of Alphabet shares, amounting to approximately 6% of Alphabet.

Google Co-Founder Larry Page Predicted A Machine That Would 'Understand Everything On The Web,' Has That 25-Year Old Pipe Dream Finally Turned Into Reality?

Warren Buffett's name carries the same weight in the world of investing that Michael Jordan's carries in the world of professional basketball. Like Jordan, Buffett is widely regarded as one of, if not the best, of all time. So, why does Buffett credit a man you've probably never heard of as having "done more for American investors than anyone else in the country"?
Buffett was referring to Vanguard founder Jack Bogle. Vanguard offers some of the investing world's most highly respected and best-performing investment funds. Vanguard's offerings are available in a wide variety of sectors. They work by tracking some of the world's largest indexes and bundling stocks into one diverse package. This allows retail investors to earn passive income or grow wealth through a diversified fund without having to become market experts themselves.

</ul>
Diversifying investment is a critical element of building a quality portfolio. However, diversification was much easier said than done before Bogle helped make Vanguard a household name. Retail investors who wanted to build investment portfolios by themselves had to become knowledgeable in multiple investment sectors. Then they had to identify stocks with growth or upside potential and track them constantly to figure out when to buy, hold, or sell.
Aside from that, an investor's best option was to buy into a hedge fund, which brought about a different set of complications. First, they were not always available to non-accredited investors. Second, many of the best hedge funds had high fees that ate up a significant portion of any passive income or profits the fund generated. Buffett, who has always been known for his frugality and pragmatism, was never a big fan of hedge funds.&nbsp;

Buffett was vocal about his preference for passive index funds like Vanguard's because they offered similar performance to hedge funds without the high fees. Buffett believed that index funds offered better returns once management and trading fees were taken out of investor profits from hedge fund investments.
Buffett's convictions were so strong that he famously "put his money where his mouth was" in 2008. He made a $1 million challenge to any hedge fund manager who could beat the returns he generated by investing in passive index funds over a decade. Tom Sedies, who was managing Protegee Funds at the time, took Buffett up on his bet, and the race was on.
Buffett chose Vanguard's<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-sp-500-index-fund"> S&amp;P 500 index fund</a>, while Sedies relied on a combination of five hedge funds. By the time it was over, the<a href="https://www.ft.com/content/3f449299-318c-4c8f-ab7a-bb3fa7221f9c"> Financial Times</a> reported that the Vanguard fund Buffett chose had returned 126%, while Sedies' hedge funds only generated 36% returns during the same period.&nbsp; Buffett planned to make the results public at his Berkshire-Hathaway (NYSE: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BRK-A">BRK.A</a>, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BRK-B">BRK.B</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BRK-B">shareholders' meeting</a>, but he also invited Bogle.

Buffett proclaimed Bogle "has probably done more for the American investor than any man in the country,&#8221; during his keynote speech. &#8220;I estimate that Jack, at a minimum, has saved and left tens and tens and tens of billions into their pockets, and those numbers are going to be hundreds and hundreds of billions over time," Buffett continued. It was high praise considering the source.
Buffett's endorsement put index funds on the map in a way that they hadn't been before. It helped pave the way for Vanguard to become a household name and gave millions of investors an alternative to expensive hedge funds. Buffett had long crusaded against high management fees, and Bogle helped him show investors there was an equally effective way to diversify their holdings.&nbsp;

Why Warren Buffett Said A Man You've Probably Never Heard Of 'Has Done Probably More For The American Investor Than Any Man In The Country'

Many people view debt as a bad thing, but if you use it properly, it can move you closer to your financial goals. Real estate investor and financial influencer Graham Stephan recently explained in an interview how he <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@grahamstephan/video/7508240524713659679?lang=en">uses debt to build wealth</a>.
"I have a lot of good debt," he stated in the conversation.&nbsp;
He expanded on what it means to have good debt vs. bad debt. The benefits of going into debt can outweigh the setbacks if you know how to use it correctly.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">You Should Make Money With Good Debt</h2>
Stephan defines a good debt as a financial obligation that allows you to earn more money than you spend. If you pay $3,000 per month in housing costs for a rental and collect $3,500 per month in cash flow, you have good debt.&nbsp;
Some real estate investors may argue that an asset that produces slightly negative cash flow is also a good investment since it builds equity, and you can raise rent prices over time to make the cash flow positive in the future.&nbsp;
This type of debt can help you build wealth faster than if you operated without debt. Good debt allows you to multiply money and leverage other people's money to improve your finances.
Trending: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/this-ai-imaging-technology-has-been-used-in-more-than-500-surgeries-now-you-can-be-part-of-the-ai-imaging-revolution">Be part of the next med-tech breakthrough for only $350 — 500+ surgeries already done with nView's AI system.</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Have A Higher ROI Than The Interest Rate</h2>
Stephan explains that if you borrow money at 10% APR for your business and get a 50% ROI on the borrowed money, you are using debt productively. Stephan offers many examples that revolve around knowing the interest rate and generating a return that's higher than the interest rate.
Thinking in percentages makes it easier to distinguish the difference between good debt and bad debt. For instance, credit cards are a well-known example of bad debt. Consumers often get into credit card debt by making unnecessary purchases and rack up high interest rates in the process.&nbsp;
If you need to borrow money for a business expense, you're better off avoiding high balances on credit cards. The APR on most credit cards ranges from 19% to 29%, depending on your creditworthiness and other factors.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Smart Tax Write-Offs</h2>
Stephan also mentions that if you have a 6% interest rate on a car that produces a 10% return since it's used for business, you can treat it as good debt. However, cars have an additional perk. If the car is a business expense and qualifies, you can deduct a portion of your car's value from your taxable income during the first year.&nbsp;
This accelerated depreciation schedule can free up more capital and boost your overall return. You will have to make monthly auto loan payments for a while, but you can trim your tax bill considerably when you buy the vehicle. This write-off is mentioned in Section 179 of the IRS tax code.
Some people don't mind paying a 6% interest rate on an auto loan if they can use depreciation to make less of their income taxable at their highest tax rate. Real estate is another asset that enables many tax deductions on top of the potential returns you can realize by renting your property.&nbsp;

Graham Stephan Explains The Benefits Of Going Into Debt: 'I Have A Lot Of Good Debt'

Benzinga examined the prospects for <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">many investors' favorite stocks</a> over the last week — here's a look at some of our top stories.
U.S. markets closed higher this week, buoyed by a stronger-than-expected May jobs report. The economy added 139,000 jobs, surpassing forecasts and easing recession fears. The S&amp;P 500 rose 1.5%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 1.2%, and the Nasdaq Composite climbed 2.2%. The Russell 2000 outperformed with a 3.2% increase, reflecting optimism in domestic small-cap stocks. The 10-year Treasury yield rose to 4.51%, as investors moved away from bonds amid improving economic sentiment.
Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) experienced significant volatility due to the public feud between CEO Elon Musk and President Donald Trump. After Musk criticized Trump's spending policies, Tesla's stock plunged 14%, erasing $150 billion in market value. However, the stock rebounded 3.7% on Friday as tensions appeared to ease. Despite the rebound, Tesla remains down 27% for the year. investopedia.com
Trump celebrated the strong jobs data but renewed pressure on the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates, citing concerns over borrowing costs. The Fed has maintained current rates, citing inflation concerns tied to trade policies. Meanwhile, upcoming U.S.-China trade talks in London are anticipated, with investors hopeful for progress that could further stabilize markets.
Benzinga provides daily reports on the stocks most popular with investors. Here are a few of this past week's most bullish and bearish posts that are worth another look.

Benzinga Bulls And Bears: Spotify, Applied Digital, DocuSign — And Tesla Swings On Musk-Trump Feud

Earlier this week, in a fiery discussion on Piers Morgan Uncensored, Scott Galloway and Kevin O'Leary clashed over Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk's legacy.
What Happened: The debate started with Piers Morgan recalling an encounter with Musk, where the billionaire showed off videos of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45826839/elon-musks-tesla-optimus-robot-program-head-milan-kovac-steps-down">Tesla&#8217;s humanoid robot</a>, Optimus, and expressed his belief that robots would revolutionize the world.
Morgan pointed out Musk&#8217;s enthusiasm for innovation but questioned his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45824984/exclusive-trump-can-hurt-elons-businesses-says-tesla-protest-organizer-but-at-this-point-whos-left-to-buy">involvement in politics</a> and the &#8220;aggravation&#8221; that came with it.
Galloway, a prominent business professor and author, took a harsher stance, condemning Musk's actions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/05/45710749/trump-says-hes-not-troubled-by-musks-alleged-drug-use-during-campaign-report">such as drug use</a> and controversial statements.
He said, "I think the two of you are more impressed with Mr. Musk than I am," referring to O&#8217;Leary and Morgan's praise for Musk's achievements.

Galloway argued that while Musk is a technological genius, his behavior, including controversial political stances and lack of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45286464/bill-gates-commits-99-of-his-remaining-fortune-to-gates-foundation-set-to-wind-down-in-20-years-somebody-should-give-more-money-than-i-did">philanthropy</a> (unlike Bill Gates), overshadowed his accomplishments.
He added, "If somebody is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/01/43219015/elon-musk-faces-criticism-from-biographer-over-auschwitz-visit-he-truly-is-a-sociopath">making Nazi salutes</a>, if somebody is being sued concurrently by two women for sole custody of their child because that person has not spent any time with that child, when someone is so severely addicted to drugs … I don&#8217;t think that&#8217;s the right role model for young men."
O&#8217;Leary, on the other hand, defended Musk, highlighting his innovation and contributions to technology. He stated that despite Musk's flaws, his achievements in electric vehicles, space exploration and robotics were undeniable.
The "Shark Tank" star described Galloway's criticism as "Musk derangement syndrome" and urged the focus to remain on Musk's groundbreaking work, not his controversies.

Why It's Important: Previously, Musk <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/05/45710494/elon-musk-denies-ketamine-allegations-if-this-bs-from-nyt-were-true-it-would-have-been-extremely-obvious">pushed back against</a> a recent New York Times report claiming he regularly used ketamine during the 2024 campaign.
&#8220;I'm in meetings with dozens to hundreds of people every day and am photographed constantly,&#8221; he stated, adding, &#8220;If this bs from NYT were true, it would have been EXTREMELY obvious.&#8221;
Earlier this year, it was also reported that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45124373/tesla-board-explored-replacing-elon-musk-as-tesla-ceo-a-month-ago-report">Tesla's board began looking</a> for Musk's successor due to his focus on government work in Washington, D.C., and the company's financial struggles.
The board allegedly urged Musk to recommit to Tesla. However, Tesla denied reaching out to recruitment firms, calling the report false. Chairwoman Robyn Denholm reaffirmed confidence in Musk and the tech mogul criticized the report as unethical and deliberately false.
Musk currently has a net worth of $335 billion, making him the wealthiest individual in the world, as per Bloomberg's Billionaire <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/billionaires/">Index</a>.

Piers Morgan Hosts Heated Debate On Musk's Legacy: While Kevin O'Leary Defends His Achievements, Scott Galloway Criticizes Tesla CEO's Behavior, Saying 'I Think The Two Of You Are More Impressed With Mr Musk Than I Am'

NASA has postponed the next potential flight of Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>)&#8217;s Starliner spacecraft to 2026. This delay affects a crucial milestone for the vehicle, which is intended to be an alternative to SpaceX&#8216;s Dragon spacecraft.
What Happened: NASA had initially indicated that Starliner&#8217;s next mission to the International Space Station (ISS) might occur by the end of this year. However, NASA is still determining whether the upcoming flight will include astronauts or only cargo, according to a report<a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-06-06/nasa-delays-next-flight-of-boeing-s-alternative-to-spacex-dragon"> by</a> Bloomberg.
The delay underscores NASA&#8217;s dependence on SpaceX and its CEO, Elon Musk. Musk recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/space/25/06/45808621/after-threatening-to-scrap-dragon-spacecraft-amid-tussle-with-trump-musk-backs-down-following-social-media-plea-good-advice">threatened to decommission the Dragon spacecraft</a> amid a public dispute with President Donald Trump, but later confirmed it would remain operational.

Starliner, the sole U.S. alternative for crew transport to the ISS, has faced challenges. A failed test flight in 2024 left two astronauts stranded on the ISS for over nine months, and the vehicle has yet to be certified for human transport. Due to engine issues with Starliner, NASA relied on SpaceX&#8217;s Dragon to return the astronauts safely.
Why It Matters: The delay in Starliner&#8217;s flight is part of a series of setbacks for Boeing (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) and its spacecraft program. The company has already invested over $2 billion in the Starliner project, which has been plagued by technical issues and financial overruns.
These challenges have made the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43638821/boeing-has-spent-2-billion-on-the-starliner-debacle-as-musks-spacex-set-to-rescue-the-stranded-astronauts"> Starliner one of the most expensive</a> commercial space missions ever.
In March 2025, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44539316/nasa-and-boeing-push-forward-with-starliner-crew-certification">NASA and Boeing</a> were reportedly working to resolve the technical issues and move forward with crew certification. However, the ongoing troubles have led Boeing to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41562455/boeing-looks-to-offload-starliner-spacecraft-nasa-business-as-troubles-mount-report"> consider selling its Starliner</a> and NASA operations in October 2024.

NASA Delays Boeing Starliner Flight To 2026 Amid Ongoing Technical Challenges

Elon Musk's social media platform X has reportedly made a visible push to clarify its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/04/31948236/heres-how-many-months-elon-musk-could-pay-for-every-twitter-peasant-to-have-a-blue-checkmark">blue checkmark policy</a> as European regulators ramp up scrutiny that could lead to a massive fine.
What Happened: X has started prominently displaying a disclaimer stating that blue checkmarks signify a paid subscription, not verified identity, reported Reuters, citing a person familiar with the matter.&nbsp;
The change was reportedly made about a week ago, is an attempt to fend off potential penalties under the EU's Digital Services Act (DSA).
Subscribe to the&nbsp;<a href="https://bztechtrends.beehiiv.com/subscribe" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Tech Trends newsletter</a>&nbsp;to get all the latest tech developments delivered to your inbox.
A European Commission spokesperson said, "Our investigation related to the blue checkmark is ongoing," the report noted.
X did not immediately respond to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga's</a> request for comments.
Why It's Important: The EU charged X in July 2024 with potentially misleading users by allowing anyone to buy a blue checkmark — a symbol traditionally reserved for verified public figures.
X has not admitted any wrongdoing and has not settled with the EU, the report added.
The EU investigation falls under the Digital Services Act, which compels major online platforms to take stronger action against illegal and harmful content or face fines of up to 6% of their global annual revenue.

Elon Musk's Social Media Platform X Adds Blue Check Disclaimer Amid EU Fine Threat: Report

On Friday, Wedbush analyst Dan Ives weighed in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45824984/exclusive-trump-can-hurt-elons-businesses-says-tesla-protest-organizer-but-at-this-point-whos-left-to-buy">on the ongoing</a> war of words between Elon Musk and Donald Trump, reassuring investors that despite the recent drama, Tesla Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) long-term growth prospects remain strong.
What Happened: In an appearance on Yahoo Finance's Market Domination, Ives described the public fallout between Musk and Trump as a &#8220;Twilight Zone&#8221; moment, comparing it to a junior high school fight.
The fallout, which saw <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45800612/trump-says-musk-has-trump-derangement-syndrome-as-battle-over-bill-heats-up-had-a-great-relationship-dont-know-if-we-will-anymore">Musk pulling away from Trump</a>, sparked concern among investors, especially given the critical role Trump has played in supporting Musk's autonomous vehicle roadmap.
&#8220;I think it caught investors off guard because you knew Musk was pulling away, but you didn&#8217;t think that this was actually going to start really a battle where a friend could become an enemy,&#8221; he stated, referring to the stock price drop on Thursday.

Investors were worried that the rift could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45807968/trump-signals-truce-with-elon-musk-after-online-feud-its-going-very-well-never-done-better">negatively affect Tesla's future</a> regulatory support, particularly regarding autonomous vehicles.
However, Ives described the market's reaction as &#8220;an overreaction,&#8221; suggesting that while the tension between the two men may create short-term volatility, it wouldn&#8217;t derail Tesla's long-term success.
&#8220;I still believe they&#8217;re allies and it doesn&#8217;t change my view that the regulatory road map is going to be more greenlighted for Tesla,&#8221; he stated, adding, &#8220;I don&#8217;t think that this is the beginning of a dark storm between Musk and Trump.&#8221;

Why It's Important: Tesla saw its stock drop by 14.3% to $284.70 on Thursday, marking its second-largest percentage loss in over a year and the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45805173/musk-vs-trump-tesla-suffers-record-152b-one-day-crash-as-ceo-warns-tariffs-will-cause-a-recession">largest market cap loss</a> in the company's history.
The company's market value plummeted by a record $152 billion, pushing Tesla out of the $1 trillion market cap club. This decline followed Musk&#8217;s public criticism of Trump's &#8220;Big Beautiful Bill.&#8221;
However, during Friday's regular session, the share price rebounded by 3.67%, reaching $295.14, according to data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Benzinga&#8217;s Edge Stock Rankings indicate that although the stock is facing negative trends in the short and medium term, its long-term outlook remains positive. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">For more detailed metrics, click here</a>.

Dan Ives Weighs In On Musk-Trump Drama, Says TSLA Stock Reaction Overblown: 'I Still Believe They're Allies'

On Friday, Reid Hoffman, co-founder of LinkedIn, shared a video on X, formerly Twitter, in which historian and philosopher Yuval Noah Harari warned that humanity is at risk of being overwhelmed by the rapid pace of artificial intelligence (AI) advancements, with severe <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45229107/paul-tudor-jones-warns-ai-could-kill-50-of-humanity-without-proper-oversight-were-creating-something-thats-really-dangerous">consequences for jobs and society</a>.
What Happened: While sharing the video, which was from the Possible podcast made public earlier this week, Hoffman said, "Yuval Noah Harari worries that humanity can't adapt to our AI future quickly enough, and will pay the price."
During the podcast conversation, Harari warned that AI technology wouldn&#8217;t be a one-time disruption, but an ongoing series of revolutionary changes, each moving at an unprecedented pace.
Unlike previous revolutions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/05/45342325/first-american-pope-leo-xiv-calls-artificial-intelligence-another-industrial-revolution">like the Industrial Revolution</a>, which unfolded over centuries, the AI revolution is happening at an inorganic, digital speed that humans may not be able to keep up with.

"If we can give humanity time to adapt to the economic and social changes, I think we&#8217;ll be okay. My theory is that we don&#8217;t have that time because the revolution is moving on with a rapidity, we&#8217;ve seen nothing like that in history," he stated.
He compared the current situation to the Industrial Revolution, which caused immense social, political and economic upheaval and suggested that, while the Industrial Revolution eventually led to a better quality of life, it came at a cost, with many paying through suffering and conflict.
The renowned historian expressed fear that, if humanity only survives AI adaptation like it did with industrialization, the outcome could be disastrous, with billions of people facing very high costs.

Why It's Important: Harari's warning is a call to action for governments, businesses, and society to start addressing the social and economic impacts of AI before it's too late.
With AI evolving at an unprecedented rate, there is growing concern that the pace of change will outstrip humanity's ability to adapt, leading to widespread unemployment and social unrest.
Last year in March, the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) cautioned that up to eight million jobs in the U.K. could be at risk as AI becomes<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/02/30766478/6-jobs-artificial-intelligence-is-already-replacing-how-investors-can-capitalize-on-it"> more prevalent in the workplace</a>.

President Donald Trump has enacted executive orders aimed at bolstering U.S. drone defenses and advancing supersonic commercial aviation.
What Happened: The directives, signed on Friday, are designed to facilitate drone operations beyond visual line of sight, reduce dependency on Chinese drone manufacturers, and promote the development of electric air taxis, according to a report by Reuters.
A federal task force will be established to ensure U.S. airspace control, expand restrictions over sensitive sites, and improve real-time drone detection capabilities. The National Football League has expressed support for these measures, highlighting their role in safeguarding fans at major events.
Michael Kratsios, head of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, emphasized that the orders address the &#8220;growing threat of criminal terrorists and foreign misuse of drones.&#8221; Meanwhile, Sebastian Gorka, a senior director at the National Security Council, underscored the necessity of enhancing counter-drone capabilities.

Additionally, Trump has instructed the Federal Aviation Administration to lift the 1973 ban on supersonic air travel over land, provided that no sonic boom is audible on the ground. Boom Supersonic CEO Blake Scholl welcomed this development, marking a new chapter for commercial aviation.
Why It Matters: The executive orders come at a time when the defense sector is witnessing significant transformations. Anduril Industries, a defense tech company, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/market-summary/25/06/45810158/anduril-raises-2-5-billion-at-30-5-billion-valuation-doubling-in-a-year-as-defense-contracts-grow">recently secured $2.5 billion in funding</a>, doubling its valuation to $30.5 billion. This underscores the growing importance of advanced technologies in national security.
Furthermore, the conversation around replacing traditional manned fighter jets with drones has gained momentum, especially after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/12/42525698/as-elon-musk-takes-on-lockheed-martin-made-f-35s-experts-question-feasibility-of-replacing-manned-fighter-jets-with-drones">Elon Musk&#8217;s comments</a> advocating for drone warfare. This shift in military strategy is also reflected in discussions about reallocating defense budgets to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/42206297/amid-elon-musks-push-for-drones-and-ai-for-combat-transformation-analyst-pierre-ferragu-says-shift-the-defense-budget-in-favor-of-startups">support startups focused on drones and AI</a>, as highlighted by analyst Pierre Ferragu.

Trump Signs Orders To Strengthen US Drone Defenses And Supersonic Flight

Oracle of Omaha Warren Buffett was rejected from Harvard University as a 19-year-old, but came to regard the rejection as one of the best things that ever happened to him.
What Happened: Speaking <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVlJdHGMl4Q">at</a> the University of Nebraska in 2003, the Berkshire Hathaway CEO shared how he obtained the Nathan Gold Scholarship, which offered $500 to attend any graduate school. "I went there to this room at 3:00 that day or whatever it was and I walked in the room and there were the professors and I was the only student that showed up," he recalled. 
"I won $500 by default… those are usually my biggest triumphs when nobody else shows up."
With the scholarship, Buffett applied to Harvard, but after meeting the interviewer, his Harvard hopes came crashing down. "After about 10 minutes he said, ‘Better think about something else.' I was 19 at the time and I looked about 12 and I acted about eight. It was not a great combination."
The rejection hit hard. "All the time I'm thinking, you know, what do I tell my parents? It's kind of embarrassing." But what followed, Buffett said, was "the luckiest thing that ever happened to me."

Why It Matters: After this failed interview, Buffett applied to Columbia Business School, where he enrolled in a one-year master's program. "I got to meet Ben Graham, which had an enormous effect on me," he said. It also allowed him to graduate early, and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44182984/warren-buffett-spent-71-years-of-his-life-married-and-says-the-secret-to-a-long-lasting-marriage-is-finding-someone-with-low-expectations">find a partner</a> as well: "I probably <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45602473/warren-buffett-calls-letting-first-wife-move-out-his-biggest-mistake-admits-it-was-99-his-fault-yet-she-introduced-him-to-his-current-wife">got my wife</a> that way… I got her before the competition showed up."
In Buffett's view, such detours are crucial in life. "You will get <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44238467/warren-buffett-shares-biggest-investing-mistakes-433m-deal-that-cost-berkshire-billions-and-trillion-dollar-tech-stocks-he-missed">some disappointments</a>, but the future is what counts," he said. "It would not be fun if I knew every decision I was going to make was going to be perfect. It'd be like playing golf and knowing you're going to hit a hole-in-one on every hole."
He stressed that failures—or <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/25/05/45602754/warren-buffett-investment-success-3-simple-rules-to-copy-oracle-of-omaha">what seem to be failures</a>—are simply part of the game. "If you take big swings, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44316684/warren-buffett-said-bad-news-is-an-investors-best-friend-and-if-youre-not-ready-for-stocks-to-drop-50-you-shouldnt-be-investing">you may miss sometimes</a>." About the rejection, he said, "It worked out wonderfully. It couldn't have worked out better," He even joked about Harvard's ‘mistake' of rejecting him: "Now that I've met the people that got in the class, I'm really sure they made a mistake."

Warren Buffett Got Rejected By Harvard — And Says It Was 'The Luckiest Thing That Ever Happened To Me:' Here's Why

Milan Kovac, the head of Tesla Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) Optimus humanoid robot program, has announced his resignation. Kovac, who has been instrumental in leading the initiative since 2022, cited family commitments as the reason for his departure.
His announcement was made on X on Friday.
What Happened: Kovac announced his exit from the company on a post on X on Friday.
Kovac, who became vice president of the Optimus program in September last year, stated, &#8220;I&#8217;ve been far away from home for too long, and will need to spend more time with family abroad. I want to make it clear that this is the only reason.&#8221;
According to a report <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-06-06/tesla-s-leader-of-optimus-humanoid-robot-program-leaves-company">by</a> Bloomberg, Ashok Elluswamy, who currently leads Tesla&#8217;s autopilot teams, will take over Kovac&#8217;s responsibilities.

Elon Musk had previously indicated plans to produce thousands of Optimus robots this year, despite challenges such as China&#8217;s export restrictions on<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45826735/china-grants-temporary-rare-earth-licenses-to-us-automakers-suppliers"> rare-earth magnets</a>.
The company is prioritizing the launch of these robots and its robotaxi service, which are crucial to Tesla&#8217;s future valuation. Musk emphasized to CNBC, &#8220;The only things that matter in the long term are autonomy and Optimus.&#8221;

Elon Musk's Tesla Optimus Robot Program Head Milan Kovac Steps Down

Microsoft&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) CEO&nbsp;Satya Nadella&nbsp;has offered a crucial piece of advice for those aiming to enter the tech industry amid the increasing influence of artificial intelligence (AI).
What Happened: Nadella, a leading figure in the tech world, emphasized the importance of mastering the fundamentals of computational thinking for a successful career in tech during a discussion with tech YouTuber Sajjaad Khader that aired on Thursday. This skill, which involves logically breaking down problems and systematically designing solutions, remains essential despite the transformative impact of AI on coding and problem-solving.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio">

</div>
</figure>
Nadella illustrated his point with a personal anecdote, explaining how his understanding of&nbsp;the underlying logic of a&nbsp;SQL query allowed him to effectively guide an AI-powered coding assistant, Microsoft&#8217;s Copilot, to resolve a bug. This example highlights the importance of understanding the fundamentals, as it enables individuals&nbsp;to use AI as a&nbsp;tool to enhance their capabilities rather than replace them.
He further predicts that AI will accelerate the transition&nbsp;from software engineer to software&nbsp;architect, democratizing the role by automating much of the coding &#8220;drudgery.&#8221; However, Nadella stresses&nbsp;that even when using AI&nbsp;for tasks like generating a markdown file, clear instructions are essential, requiring&nbsp;a blend of technical expertise&nbsp;and the ability to think&nbsp;like a systems engineer.
The CEO is enthusiastic that &#8220;The path to being that software architect gets speeded up.&#8221;
"All of us are going&nbsp;to be more software architects,"&nbsp;Nadella anticipates

Why It Matters: In a recent conversation with Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Nadella disclosed that AI now writes up to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/04/45093643/ai-is-reshaping-coding-at-microsoft-says-nadella-30-of-code-now-ai-generated">30% of Microsoft&#8217;s </a>code base, marking a significant shift in software development. This underscores the increasing importance of computational thinking, as AI continues to reshape the industry.
Amid the AI-driven growth, Microsoft has been&nbsp;eliminating <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45738506/microsoft-fires-hundreds-more-workers-amid-ai-fueled-growth-calls-it-positioning-the-company-for-success">hundreds of jobs</a>&nbsp;in a bid to position the company for success amid this transformative period. This underscores the need for individuals to equip themselves with the skills necessary to thrive in the AI-driven tech industry, as highlighted by Nadella&#8217;s advice.
However, this AI-driven transformation has not been without its challenges. Tech giants like&nbsp;Amazon&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Microsoft,&nbsp;Google&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>), and&nbsp;Shopify&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHOP#NYSE">SHOP</a>) have been racing to integrate AI, leading to engineers working faster with less thinking time and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45603978/as-amazon-microsoft-google-and-shopify-race-to-integrate-ai-engineers-say-theyre-working-faster-with-less-thinking-time-and-more-pressure-than-ever">more pressure </a>than ever. This further emphasizes the need for a strong foundation in computational thinking to navigate the evolving tech landscape.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella Shares Top Tip For Aspiring Techies To Land A Job In AI Era: 'The Path To Being Software Architect Gets Speeded Up'

As Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) gears up for its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2025, the focus is expected to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/06/45712700/apples-ai-struggles-to-keep-pace-with-rivals-ahead-of-wwdc-2025">be on major software updates</a>, but there's growing speculation about the possibility of surprise hardware announcements.
What Happened: While WWDC is traditionally a software-heavy event, rumors have been swirling about the potential unveiling of three key hardware products, <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2025/06/06/new-hardware-at-wwdc-heres-what-the-rumors-say/">reported</a> 9To5Mac.
First, the Mac Pro, which hasn't seen a redesign in the Apple Silicon era, could be previewed at WWDC. Apple has a history of showcasing new Mac Pro models at the conference, so this would not be out of the ordinary.
Second, there's talk of a ‘HomePad' smart display making an appearance. This device would likely be tied to a new homeOS, which could be announced alongside it. The HomePad could compete with similar devices from competitors like Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google and Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>).

Apple May Launch New Hardware At WWDC 2025: Mac Pro, HomePad, AirTag 2 Expected

China has issued temporary export licenses for rare-earth materials to suppliers of U.S. automakers.
What Happened: China has issued temporary export licenses to rare-earth suppliers for the top three U.S. automakers, according to a report by Reuters on Friday. This move comes amid ongoing supply chain disruptions due to Beijing&#8217;s export restrictions on these materials.
At least some of these licenses are valid for six months, as per two unnamed sources cited by Reuters. However, details regarding the quantity or specific items covered by the approval remain unclear.

China&#8217;s decision in April to limit exports of rare earths and related magnets has affected supply chains crucial to automakers, aerospace manufacturers, semiconductor firms, and military contractors globally. The country&#8217;s dominance in the critical mineral industry is seen as a significant leverage point in its trade conflict with the U.S.
Suppliers for General Motors Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>), Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>), and Stellantis NV (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLA#NYSE">STLA</a>) received clearance for some rare earth export licenses on Monday, one source noted.
Why It Matters: The issuance of temporary licenses by China comes at a critical time when global automakers are grappling with potential production disruptions due to rare-earth supply shortages.
A report from May highlighted concerns from automakers like General Motors and Toyota Motor (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TM#NYSE">TM</a>) about<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/05/45708426/chinas-rare-earth-magnet-restrictions-threaten-auto-production-could-result-in-shutdown-of-assembly-lines-report"> potential factory shutdowns</a> due to these restrictions.

China Grants Temporary Rare-Earth Licenses To US Automakers' Suppliers

President Donald Trump has stated he has no plans to communicate with Elon Musk, highlighting ongoing friction over the contentious ‘Big, Beautiful Bill.&#8217;
This announcement was made while Trump was aboard Air Force One, as reported by Reuters. Despite wishing Musk success with Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), Trump indicated he wasn&#8217;t considering speaking with the EV giant's CEO at the moment.
Trump also hinted at a potential review of Musk&#8217;s federal contracts, stating, &#8220;We&#8217;ll take a look at everything,&#8221; about the significant financial dealings.
A White House source, who chose to remain anonymous, suggested Trump might sell his red Tesla Model S, which had been previously displayed at the White House.
On the other hand, Musk has been vocally critical of the Republican tax and spending bill, expressing his disapproval on his social-media platform X. He argued that the bill could politically damage Republicans and exacerbate the national debt. Musk also floated the idea of creating a new political party to represent the middle majority.

The discord between Trump and Musk follows a public fallout, with Musk&#8217;s allies largely silent. Investor James Fishback advised Musk to apologize, citing Trump&#8217;s patience. This situation could have implications for the upcoming midterm elections, as Musk&#8217;s financial backing might affect Republican control of Congress.
Why It Matters: The tension between Trump and Musk has been escalating, with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45821929/trump-vs-musk-president-selling-his-tesla-is-targeting-robotaxis-next">Trump reportedly considering selling his Tesla</a> and targeting Musk&#8217;s ventures like robotaxis.

Furthermore, Musk&#8217;s support for Trump&#8217;s impeachment, suggesting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45808078/elon-musk-says-yes-to-impeaching-trump-replacing-him-with-jd-vance-amid-fierce-back-and-forth-over-big-beautiful-bill">replacing him with JD Vance</a>, has added fuel to the fire. Despite the ongoing conflict, there have been attempts to de-escalate the situation, with Trump&#8217;s aides urging him to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45807968/trump-signals-truce-with-elon-musk-after-online-feud-its-going-very-well-never-done-better"> soften his public criticism of Musk</a>.

Trump-Musk Feud May Not End Anytime Soon As President Says He Has No Plans To Speak To The Tesla CEO

On Friday, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of granting the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) access to sensitive <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45810097/protecting-seniors-data-act-to-audit-doges-access-of-social-security-systems-identify-backdoor-channels-report">Social Security records</a>.
What Happened: The Supreme Court granted the Donald Trump administration's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45189902/trump-administration-pushes-supreme-court-to-greenlight-doge-access-to-americans-social-security-data-despite-lower-courts-fishing-expedition-warning">emergency request to lift a lower court's</a> ruling that had blocked DOGE's access to Social Security's data, <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/06/06/supreme-court-doge-social-security-records-ruling-00393064">reported</a> Politico.&nbsp;
This decision allows DOGE's team, tasked with detecting and preventing fraud, to access personal information in the Social Security Administration's (SSA) systems, including tax and wage reports and disability payments.
A three-paragraph unsigned order from the court's majority stated, "We conclude that, under the present circumstances, SSA may proceed to afford members of the SSA DOGE Team access to the agency records in question in order for those members to do their work."

However, the decision was met with dissent from three liberal justices. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote in a 10-page dissent that the ruling posed &#8220;grave privacy risks for millions of Americans.&#8221;
Why It's Important: The legal battle over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45466451/elizabeth-warren-torches-doges-social-security-fraud-claims-pointing-at-internal-memo-discovery-says-elon-musk-jd-vance-and-trump-are-lying">DOGE's access to Social Security data</a> is one of several that emerged in the early weeks of Trump's second term, as a cost-cutting team led by Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO and SpaceX founder Elon Musk spread throughout the federal government.
Last month, Musk ended his contentious four-month stint as head of the DOGE. Despite falling well short of the projected savings, President Trump honored him <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/05/45708460/elon-musks-175-billion-in-doge-cut-falls-far-short-of-the-billionaires-goal-expect-to-achieve-over-time-the-trillion-dollars-of-savings-says-tesla-ceo">with a golden key to the White House</a>.
DOGE set out to cut $1 trillion in federal spending by targeting bureaucracy and inefficiencies. However, according to its own website, the initiative has only achieved $180 billion in documented savings to date.

Trump's DOGE Gains Access To Social Security Records After Supreme Court Ruling, Raising Privacy Concerns For 'Millions Of Americans'

Ten years on from one of the most bitter legal battles in Britain's green energy sector, Dale Vince is still not mincing words. In a recent podcast appearance, the Ecotricity founder called Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk a "bad man running a bad company."
What Happened: Tesla proposed a collaboration with Ecotricity to boost EV charging infrastructure in the UK. The companies signed a non-disclosure agreement, and Ecotricity shared sensitive lease information with Tesla. However, it then turned into what Vince regards as an ambush, as he indicated in an interview with Novara Media.
One Sunday evening in 2015, Vince's colleague Simon Crowfoot <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/tech/misdirected-email-sparks-electric-car-war-between-tesla-and-ecotricity-9533260.html">received an email</a> from Tesla. It was intended for a different Simon at Tesla, outlining a three-pronged plan to undermine Ecotricity: pressure landlords to breach contracts, launch a negative press campaign, and lobby government officials. The next morning, Ecotricity obtained a High Court injunction to block Tesla's moves. The legal battle played out over three years and <a href="https://www.current-news.co.uk/tesla-and-ecotricity-reach-out-of-court-settlement-over-electric-highways-d/">ended in a settlement</a>, with Tesla paying a major sum to Ecotricity.

Why It Matters: The case was seen as a defining "David vs Goliath" moment in the UK's EV rollout. Vince claimed Tesla misused confidential data to strong-arm its way into motorway charging sites, while pretending to negotiate in good faith. "They came to us all nice as pie," Vince said. "And when we refused, they tried to take it by force." He later described Tesla's behavior as "at least amoral," and called their tactics "like cowboys."
Court disclosures revealed internal Tesla communications, including Elon Musk reportedly saying, "It's not their Electric Highway, it's our Electric Highway"—a comment Vince said highlighted the company's aggressive posture. The episode became a cautionary tale for British companies dealing with Silicon Valley giants.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div>
</figure>
Vince has since sold the Electric Highway to GRIDSERVE, but his view of Musk hasn't softened. "I wouldn't buy his car," he said on the podcast. "There might have been a world in which I'd bought a Tesla but I think they're quite naff… I think he's a bad man running a bad company."
