Famed investor Peter Lynch cautioned against the practice of market timing, underscoring the significance of retaining shares of robust companies <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/01/42935107/peter-lynchs-money-making-advice-when-things-go-from-terrible-to-semi-terrible-to-ok-you-can-make-a-lot-of-money">amidst market turbulence</a>.
What Happened: Lynch has consistently endorsed a disciplined, long-term investment strategy. He asserts that attempts to foresee market downturns often result in greater financial damage than the downturns themselves.
Lynch&#8217;s investment philosophy echoes that of Warren Buffett, promoting patient investment in high-growth companies over trying to forecast market volatility. He alerts novice investors about the potential hazards of bracing for market corrections, which could lead to missing profitable opportunities during a bull market.
&#8220;Far more money has been lost by investors preparing for corrections, or trying to anticipate corrections, than has been lost in corrections themselves,&#8221; Lynch was quoted as saying.

While some investors might be inclined to sell shares or postpone their regular equity purchases in expectation of a market correction, Lynch advises against such impulsive actions. He stresses the importance of adhering to a consistent investment strategy, irrespective of market prognostications.
Why It Matters: Lynch&#8217;s advice comes at a crucial time when investors are grappling with market uncertainty. His words serve as a reminder that long-term, disciplined investing often yields better results than trying to predict market movements. 
His philosophy, which aligns with that of other investment stalwarts like Warren Buffett, underscores the importance of patience and consistency in investment strategy. 
As new investors navigate the complexities of the market, Lynch&#8217;s advice against market timing could serve as a guiding principle.

Peter Lynch's Market Observation: 'Far More Money Has Been Lost By Investors Preparing For Corrections, Than Has Been Lost In Corrections Themselves'

Philanthropist Melinda French Gates has expressed her apprehensions regarding the cuts made by Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) during President Donald Trump&#8216;s tenure.
What Happened: Gates, a lifelong philanthropist, underscored the significance of government funding in expanding philanthropic efforts on Sunday. She drew attention to the crucial role played by her foundation and the Giving Pledge, co-founded with her former spouse&nbsp;Bill Gates&nbsp;and&nbsp;Warren Buffett, in motivating billionaires to donate half of their wealth.
According to the report <a href="https://www.thestreet.com/politics/melinda-french-gates-takes-a-big-shot-at-elon-musks-doge-cuts">by</a> Street, Gates expressed her concern over the cuts to programs like USAID, stating that they could have devastating impacts on families worldwide. She underscored the fact that philanthropy alone cannot meet the needs of global health initiatives, and government funding is crucial to scale up these efforts.
Despite her usual avoidance of politics, Gates&#8217; comments on the DOGE cuts made by Musk, who heads the semi-official government agency, were clear. She stressed that the cuts could result in millions of women losing&nbsp;access to maternal health services&nbsp;and a significant increase in malaria cases.

Gates&nbsp;believes that while philanthropists can&nbsp;take risks that governments can&#8217;t, collaboration between the two is essential for effecting change on a large scale.
Why It Matters: Gates&#8217; criticism of Musk&#8217;s DOGE cuts comes at a time when the role of philanthropy and government in addressing global issues is under scrutiny. The cuts to government programs like USAID, as highlighted by Gates, could have far-reaching impacts on global health initiatives. Her comments underscore the importance of a collaborative approach between philanthropy and government in addressing these challenges.
Furthermore, Gates&#8217; emphasis on the role of her foundation and the Giving Pledge in encouraging billionaires to donate half of their wealth underscores the potential of philanthropy in addressing global challenges. However, as Gates points out, philanthropy alone cannot meet these needs, and government funding is crucial.
Her comments serve as a reminder of the importance of collaboration between philanthropy and government in effecting large-scale change, and the potential consequences of cuts to government funding for global health initiatives.

Melinda French Gates Takes Aim at Elon Musk's DOGE Cuts, Highlights Importance of Philanthropy and Government

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">SEC Charges 3 Texans With Running $91 Million Ponzi Scheme</h2>
The Securities and Exchange Commission on Tuesday charged Texas residents Kenneth W. Alexander II, Robert D. Welsh and Caedrynn E. Conner with running a Ponzi scheme that raised at least $91 million from<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/25/04/45029644/financial-crime-weekly-man-charged-with-operating-198-million-crypto-ponzi-scheme"> over 200 investors.</a>
According to the SEC, from May 2021 to February 2024, Alexander and Welsh <a href="https://www.sec.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2025-71">operated the scheme</a> through Vanguard Holdings Group Irrevocable Trust, which they claimed was a lucrative international bond trading business.&nbsp;
Investors were promised 12 monthly payments of 3% to 6%, with their principal returned after 14 months. In reality, VHG had no meaningful revenue, and the returns paid to investors came from new investor funds, not trading profits.

Conner, through his own entity Benchmark Capital Holdings Irrevocable Trust, funneled more than $46 million into VHG via a similar program. The three also offered a supposed "pay order" financial instrument to protect investments, but the SEC alleges this protection was fictitious.
The SEC's complaint further states that Alexander and Conner misappropriated millions for personal use, including Conner's purchase of a $5 million home. The SEC is seeking permanent injunctions, repayment of ill-gotten gains with interest and civil penalties against all three defendants.&nbsp;
"As we allege, the defendants conducted a large-scale Ponzi scheme that caused devastating losses to investor victims, while Alexander and Conner misappropriated millions of dollars of investor funds," said Sam Waldon, Acting Director of the SEC's Division of Enforcement. "We remain unwavering in our commitment to hold individuals accountable for defrauding investors."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Raytheon, RTX Agree To Pay $8.4 Million To Settle Allegations</h2>
Raytheon Co., its parent RTX Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RTX#NYSE">RTX</a>) and Nightwing Group have agreed to pay $8.4 million to settle allegations that Raytheon violated the False Claims Act by not meeting cybersecurity requirements in contracts and subcontracts with the Department of Defense.&nbsp;
Raytheon sold its Cybersecurity, Intelligence and Services business to Nightwing in March 2024. The settlement addresses alleged conduct from 2015 to 2021, before Nightwing acquired the business.
The U.S. Department of Justice alleged that Raytheon and its former subsidiary, Raytheon Cyber Solutions, Inc., failed to implement required cybersecurity controls and did not develop or maintain a system security plan for an internal development system used for unclassified work on 29 DoD contracts.&nbsp;
The actions allegedly violated the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement and Federal Acquisition Regulation rules which require contractors to safeguard federal contracts and covered defense information. The case was resolved under the False Claims Act, with a portion of the settlement awarded to the whistleblower who brought the case to the government's attention.

Financial Crime Weekly: SEC Charges 3 Texans With Running $91 Million Ponzi Scheme & Raytheon, RTX Agree To Pay $8.4 Million To Settle Allegations

Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), has been accused by Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40432032/putin-ally-unveils-tesla-cybertruck-with-machine-gun-invites-musk-to-russia">of remotely disabling his Cybertruck.</a>
What Happened: Kadyrov, who has been in power in&nbsp;Chechnya since 2007, alleged that&nbsp;his Cybertruck was &#8220;remotely disabled&#8221;&nbsp;by Musk. 
The Chechen leader&nbsp;voiced his discontent in a Telegram <a href="https://t.me/RKadyrov_95/5103">post</a>, where he described Musk&#8217;s actions as unmanly.
"Elon Musk behaved badly. He gives expensive gifts from the heart, and then turns them off remotely," Kadyrov wrote in the post. 
Then he added in the post saying, "That's not manly. How could you do that, Elon?" He also mentioned that he had to tow the vehicle after Tesla shut it down.&#8221;
In the past, Kadyrov had posted a video that displayed&nbsp;the Cybertruck, fitted with what&nbsp;appeared to be a machine&nbsp;gun. He hinted that the&nbsp;vehicle, which he claimed&nbsp;was a gift from Musk.
Also Read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/37195508/putin-pal-elon-musk-fires-back-at-critics-accusing-him-of-supporting-russia" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Putin Pal? Elon Musk Fires Back At Critics Accusing Him Of Supporting Russia</a>
"We received a Tesla Cybertruck from the esteemed Elon Musk. I was pleased to test this new technology and personally witnessed why it&#8217;s rightfully called the ‘Cyberbeast," he said in a statement.
However, Musk has firmly denied ever gifting&nbsp;the Cybertruck to Kadyrov. The&nbsp;process by&nbsp;which the warlord procured the&nbsp;vehicle is still a mystery, considering the&nbsp;direct export of a Cybertruck&nbsp;from the US to Chechnya&nbsp;is forbidden due to US sanctions.
Why It Matters: Kadyrov&#8217;s accusations against Musk are significant due to the involvement of a high-profile individual and a globally renowned brand. This incident brings to light&nbsp;questions about the security and&nbsp;remote control features of Tesla&#8217;s vehicles. 
Furthermore, it highlights&nbsp;the potential misuse of such&nbsp;vehicles in regions of conflict, which could have serious consequences for international security and Tesla&#8217;s reputation.

Putin Ally Who Unveiled Tesla Cybertruck With Machine Gun Now Says Elon Musk 'Remotely Disabled' The Militarized EV

In an exclusive interview with NBC News, President Donald Trump said that he expects his presidency to end after the 2028 election.
What Happened: Trump confirmed he would not pursue a third term, acknowledging the constitutional limitations. He also identified potential successors within the Republican Party, including Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
Despite previous hints at considering a third run, Trump now acknowledges the legal barriers that prevent such a move. 
&#8220;It&#8217;s&nbsp;something that, to the best&nbsp;of my knowledge, you&#8217;re&nbsp;not allowed to do. I&nbsp;don&#8217;t know if that&#8217;s constitutional that they&#8217;re&nbsp;not allowing you to do&nbsp;it or anything else,&#8221; Trump <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2028-election/-eight-year-president-trump-weighs-third-term-speculation-rcna204579">said</a> during the interview.
Addressing the recent speculation sparked by the sale of Trump 2028-branded red hats by the Trump Organization, Trump clarified his intention is to&nbsp;pass the torch ahead of&nbsp;the next presidential election. 
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45184463/donald-trumps-support-tanks-early-in-second-term-poll-numbers-paint-grim-picture">Donald Trump&#8217;s Support Tanks Early in Second Term — Poll Numbers Paint Grim Picture</a>
&#8220;There&nbsp;are many people selling the&nbsp;2028 hat,&#8221; Trump noted. &#8220;But this is not something I&#8217;m looking to do. I&#8217;m&nbsp;looking to have four great&nbsp;years and turn it over&nbsp;to somebody, ideally a great&nbsp;Republican, a great Republican to&nbsp;carry it forward.&#8221;
Trump commended both Vance and Rubio but held back from endorsing any potential successor. He stressed that such discussions are &#8220;far too early.&#8221;
Why It Matters:&nbsp;Trump&#8217;s confirmation of not seeking a third term brings clarity to the political landscape and sets the stage for potential successors within the Republican Party. 
His mention of JD Vance and Marco Rubio as potential successors indicates a shift in focus towards grooming the next generation of Republican leadership. 
The sale of Trump 2028-branded merchandise had fueled speculation about his future political ambitions, but his latest comments suggest a commitment to abide by constitutional norms. 
This development could impact the strategies of other potential Republican candidates as they prepare for the next presidential election.

Donald Trump Weighs In on Third-Term Speculation: 'I Don't Know If It's Constitutional'

Arthur Hayes, the founder of BitMEX, anticipates that Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) could potentially reach a value of $1 million by 2028. 
What Happened: Hayes holds the belief that Bitcoin could reach a seven-figure price in the upcoming years. During an interview, Hayes projected that Bitcoin could hit a price of $1 million by the end of 2028.
He said this surge is expected due to the easing of US monetary policy and the growing acceptance of Bitcoin as a safe-haven asset.
During the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GpQPiF-RBg">interaction</a>, Hayes attributes the potential surge in Bitcoin&#8217;s price to the expected easing of US monetary policy. He stated, &#8220;we know you&#8217;re going to print more money, we know that Bitcoin does best when money is printed.&#8221;
Hayes also highlighted the US budget deficit, which he anticipates will continue to rise even after the change of administration, as a bullish catalyst for Bitcoin&#8217;s potential rise to a price of $1 million. 
"We know you're going to print more money, we know that Bitcoin does best when money is printed. I don't know, I can't tell you what stock is going to do well, that's hard. But I can tell you where Bitcoin's going to go," Hayes said during the interview. 
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/44889273/robert-kiyosakis-bitcoin-forecast-could-1-million-be-realistic">Robert Kiyosaki&#8217;s Bitcoin Forecast: Could $1 Million Be Realistic?</a>
&#8220;So the things that drive the budget are only going up and interest on the Treasury debt again is expanding exponentially because even if Trump is successful on his plan, which is 3% deficit by 2028, because of where you started with, the size of the debt, your interest costs are still expanding exponentially,&#8221; he said. 
&#8220;So again there's just no way mathematically, unless they decide we're going to shut down the government which is not what he's talking about that they're going to be able to spend less than Biden," he added. 
The BitMEX founder also mentioned the increasing acceptance of Bitcoin as a safe-haven asset as another factor that will positively impact the flagship crypto asset. 
He stated, &#8220;We now have an ETF, we now have this narrative in an institutional investor's mind that, ‘Oh, Bitcoin is not just NASDAQ, high beta. It's actually a hedge against the fall of American exceptionalism, the fall of the American hegemonic empire, maybe I should own some of this. This is going to do well.'"
Why It Matters: Hayes&#8217; prediction comes at a time when Bitcoin&#8217;s acceptance is growing globally. The potential easing of US monetary policy, coupled with the increasing adoption of Bitcoin as a safe-haven asset, could indeed provide the necessary impetus for Bitcoin&#8217;s price to reach the $1 million mark. 
The continued increase in the US budget deficit could also serve as a catalyst for this surge. However, only time will tell if these factors will indeed propel Bitcoin to the projected seven-figure price.

Shibarium, the Layer-2 blockchain of Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/shib/usd">SHIB</a>), has reported a significant 54% increase in transactions. This surge indicates a growing interest and engagement in the network.
What Happened:&nbsp;The daily transactions on Shibarium rose&nbsp;from 2.01 million to 3.1&nbsp;million within a span of 24 hours. Simultaneously, the total addresses on Shibarium hit a new peak of 204,182,966, indicating a rise in user participation.
Shibarium&#8217;s other metrics also demonstrated growth. According to reports, the network has executed over 1.13 billion transactions in total, with the recent spike in daily transactions contributing to this increase. The total blocks on the network have exceeded&nbsp;10 million, with the most&nbsp;recent count at 10,791,495.
Along with the surge in transactions, the SHIB token burn rate has also skyrocketed by a whopping 22,598%, with 25,770,312 SHIB tokens taken out of circulation in the past 24 hours. 
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/44778101/shiba-inus-burn-rate-skyrockets-580-as-cryptocurrency-market-rebounds">Shiba Inu&#8217;s Burn Rate Skyrockets 580% as Cryptocurrency Market Rebounds</a>
This surge aligns with the 54% transaction increase on Shibarium, underlining the heightened&nbsp;activity in the Shiba Inu&nbsp;ecosystem.
However, despite the heightened activity, the price of Shiba Inu has not witnessed a corresponding increase.&nbsp;At the time of writing,&nbsp;SHIB was down 2.5% in&nbsp;the last 24 hours to&nbsp;$0.00001231 and down 6.8% weekly,&nbsp;mirroring the current profit-taking trend in the crypto market.
Why It Matters:&nbsp;The surge in Shibarium&#8217;s transactions and the increase in SHIB token burn rate are indicative of the growing adoption and user engagement&nbsp;in the Shiba Inu ecosystem.&nbsp;
This growth in activity, however, has not translated into a rise in SHIB&#8217;s price, reflecting the broader profit-taking trend in the cryptocurrency market. 
The developments in Shibarium and the Shiba Inu ecosystem will be closely watched by investors and market participants for potential impacts on SHIB&#8217;s price and the broader crypto market.

Shiba Inu's Shibarium Is Booming — Here's What's Driving the 54% Transaction Surge

Outgoing CEO Warren Buffett&#8217;s investment strategy continues to yield significant gains, with Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) stocks trading near record highs despite market volatility.
Buffett&#8217;s investment strategy has resulted in a 17% year-to-date rally for Berkshire Hathaway last week,&nbsp;a stark contrast to the&nbsp;S&amp;P 500&#8217;s 5% decline.
The 94-year-old billionaire investor has consistently championed long-term, fundamentals-based investing. His successful investment decisions, such as a perfectly timed massive investment in Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) in 2016, which has since soared over 800%, have significantly increased his wealth.
According to a data by Bloomberg, Buffett is currently&nbsp;the sixth richest person in&nbsp;the world, with a net&nbsp;worth of $166 billion.
Other successful investments include long-held stocks like&nbsp;Coca-Cola Co.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>), which has risen about 15% this year, and&nbsp;Verisign Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VRSN#NASDAQ">VRSN</a>), an internet stock that has soared 35% year-to-date.

Despite Buffett&#8217;s shift&nbsp;into the role of chairman&nbsp;and non-executive chairman, his investment philosophy continues to guide Berkshire Hathaway&#8217;s decisions, cementing his legendary status among investors. 
His strategy of long-term, fundamentals-based investing has proven to be a successful approach, as evidenced by the significant gains of Berkshire Hathaway stocks. 
This strategy has not only weathered market volatility but has also led to substantial wealth accumulation for Buffett, making him one of the richest people in the world.
Buffett&#8217;s successful investments in companies like Apple, Coca-Cola, and Verisign underscore his ability to identify stocks with strong fundamentals and growth potential. 
These investments have not only yielded significant returns but have also contributed to the overall performance of Berkshire Hathaway, further solidifying Buffett&#8217;s reputation as a savvy investor.

Coinbase Global, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>), the largest U.S. crypto exchange, asked the U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday to hear a case that could restrict the IRS's ability to monitor crypto transactions on exchanges <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/42904654/coinbase-subpoenaed-over-polymarket-involvement-federal-agency-seeks-customer-information">and other platforms.</a>&nbsp;
The Details: The case, Harper v. O'Donnell, centers on the IRS's use of a "John Doe" summons to demand transaction data from Coinbase about thousands of users, even if they weren't suspected of wrongdoing.Coinbase, along with several states and privacy groups, filed an amicus brief arguing that the government's sweeping data requests threaten Americans' digital privacy.&nbsp;

The company challenged the longstanding "third-party doctrine," which says people lose privacy rights over information shared with companies like banks or crypto exchanges. Coinbase argued that the doctrine is outdated for the digital age, where sharing data with third parties is routine and often necessary.
The company also warned that letting the IRS collect such data without a warrant allows near-total surveillance of users' financial activity and likened it to a "financial ankle monitor." Coinbase urged the Court to clarify that the Fourth Amendment should protect digital financial records and that users do not forfeit the right to privacy simply by using online platforms.
Why It Matters: If the Supreme Court agrees to hear the case and rules in favor of privacy advocates, it could reshape how digital data is protected under the Constitution and force changes in how both government agencies and private companies handle user information.&nbsp;

Oracle of Omaha Warren Buffett dispensed some essential guidance for budding investors &#8211; associate with the right people and engage in work that you are passionate about.
What Happened: Buffett, at the&nbsp;Berkshire Hathaway&#8217;s&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>)&nbsp;Annual General Meeting on Saturday, underscored the significance of being in the right company. 
Answering to a question at the meeting, he <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kx7U5ziIavo">said</a>, &#8220;Who you associate with is just enormously important, and don't expect you'll make every decision right on that. You're going to have your life progress in the general direction of the people that you work with, that you admire, that become your friends."&nbsp;
Buffett went on to stress that these associations can contribute to more than just professional success. &#8220;You'll&nbsp;not only learn how to&nbsp;be successful in business, you'll&nbsp;learn how to be successful&nbsp;in life,&#8221; he elaborated.

"there are people that make you want to be better than you are and you want to hang out with people that are better than you are and that you feel are better than you," Buffett added. &nbsp;
The billionaire investor also encouraged young investors to seek work they love, roles they would take up even if they weren't financially dependent on it. He warned against associating with individuals or organizations that compel you to engage in activities that you shouldn&#8217;t be partaking in.
Buffett credits a significant part of his contentment and longevity to being in the company of&nbsp;the right people and doing&nbsp;what he enjoys. 
&#8220;A&nbsp;happy person lives longer than&nbsp;somebody that's doing things they&nbsp;don't really admire that much&nbsp;in life,&#8221; he added.

Warren Buffett Shares Surprising Advice for Young Investors—And It's Not About Stocks: 'Who You Associate With Is Just Enormously Important'

In a recent post on Truth Social, President Donald Trump claimed that the United States played a significantly larger role in winning both World Wars than its allies.
What Happened: Trump stated on the Truth Social <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114435902192931017">post</a>,&nbsp;&#8220;Many of our allies and&nbsp;friends are celebrating May 8th&nbsp;as Victory Day, but we&nbsp;did more than any other&nbsp;Country, by far, in producing&nbsp;a victorious result on World&nbsp;War II.&#8221;
The former President&#8217;s remarks have drawn criticism, with detractors arguing that they overlook the substantial sacrifices and pivotal roles played by other Allied nations including the Soviet Union and the United Kingdom.
Historians have highlighted that the victory in WWII was achieved through cooperation, shared sacrifice, and a multinational alliance.
Trump&#8217;s post, which garnered over&nbsp;14,000 likes on Truth Social,&nbsp;also suggested&nbsp;renaming May 8th as Victory&nbsp;Day for World War II&nbsp;and November 11th&nbsp;as Victory Day for World&nbsp;War I.

&#8220;I am hereby renaming May 8th as Victory Day for World War II and November 11th as Victory Day for World War I. We won both Wars, nobody was close to us in terms of strength, bravery, or military brilliance. We are going to start celebrating our victories again!&#8221; Trump said.
Critics caution that such rhetoric could potentially strain diplomatic relations and oversimplify a multifaceted global conflict.
Why It Matters:&nbsp;This is not the first&nbsp;instance of Trump&#8217;s remarks on history or alliances causing controversy. During his tenure as President, he often had disagreements&nbsp;with NATO leaders and accused&nbsp;allies of not fulfilling their defence spending obligations. 
His recent comments on WWII victory could potentially reignite debates on international alliances and the shared history of global conflicts.

Donald Trump Downplays Allies' Roles in World Wars, Credits US for Victories: 'We Won Both Wars, Nobody Was Close To Us'

President Donald Trump says that his administration will strip Harvard University of its tax-exempt status, intensifying an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44804541/trump-administration-halts-2-2-billion-in-harvard-grants-after-university-says-dont-dictate-what-we-can-teach-or-who-we-admit" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ongoing confrontation with the Ivy League institution</a>.
&#8220;We are going to be taking away Harvard&#8217;s Tax Exempt Status. It&#8217;s what they deserve,&#8221; Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114437989795464761" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">posted</a> on X.
The move marks a significant escalation in his campaign to pressure elite universities over alleged discriminatory practices and campus unrest.
The president&#8217;s declaration follows weeks of growing tension between the administration and Harvard, which Trump has accused of harboring antisemitism and violating the public interest, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/02/trump-harvard-tax-exempt-revoke.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a> CNBC.

Trump&#8217;s administration has previously taken steps to financially target the university, including freezing $2.2 billion in federal grants in April.
In April, he warned that losing tax-exempt status was a real possibility if schools did not make structural changes that would enable greater federal oversight.
&#8220;Perhaps Harvard should lose its Tax Exempt Status and be Taxed as a Political Entity if it keeps pushing political, ideological, and terrorist inspired/supporting &#8220;Sickness?&#8221; Remember, Tax Exempt Status is totally contingent on acting in the PUBLIC INTEREST,&#8221; Trump <a target="_blank" href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114342374504628520" rel="noreferrer noopener">posted </a>on X on April 15.
Harvard swiftly filed a legal complaint, calling the decision an &#8220;unprecedented and improper&#8221; abuse of federal authority, the report reads.
In addition, the Department of Homeland Security has begun revoking visas for international students at Harvard, raising further alarm across the academic sector.
Trump has tied Harvard&#8217;s tax benefits to its compliance with &#8220;public interest,&#8221; stating that institutions failing that standard should lose their federal privileges.
The Treasury Department has reportedly instructed the IRS to evaluate the legality of revoking Harvard&#8217;s nonprofit status, while Homeland Security officials have raised concerns about the university&#8217;s visa sponsorships.
However, CNBC added that a spokesperson for Harvard warned that such punitive actions would jeopardize the school&#8217;s educational mission and could destabilize higher education across the country.

Trump: Harvard's Not a School, It's a 'Political Entity' That Should Be Taxed

Anthony Scaramucci, who is known for his short stint as the White House communications director under Donald Trump, has opened up about his professional setbacks, including a significant loss due to a fraudulent act by Sam Bankman-Fried.
What Happened: Scaramucci&#8217;s professional journey has been marked by several setbacks. He was first dismissed from his job at&nbsp;Goldman Sachs, and later from the White House. 
However, the most substantial setback came when he discovered that his business partner, Sam Bankman-Fried, was involved in fraudulent activities.
"I think the worst day I had professionally was discovering that Sam Bankman-Fried was a fraud. I mean, getting fired from the White House, okay—it's politics. I'm a big boy, you know, get over it, it'll be fine. But when he got exposed as a fraud, that was a blow to me because I trusted the guy. I liked him," Scaramucci <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/04/14/anthony-scaramucci-worst-day-of-his-career-sam-bankman-fried-fired-trump-white-house/">told</a> Fortune. 
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44778667/scaramucci-foresees-global-retaliation-against-trumps-trade-policies-it-will-break-him">Scaramucci Foresees Global Retaliation Against Trump&#8217;s Trade Policies: &#8216;It Will Break Him&#8217;</a>
"The assets turned out to be extremely valuable, but he's going to be in jail for a very, very long period of time because he had a bad set of morals. He probably didn't have a good guidance system," he added. 
In 2021, Scaramucci and Bankman-Fried became business partners when the latter purchased Scaramucci&#8217;s early investment, the crypto exchange LedgerX. Scaramucci sold a 30% stake&nbsp;of his investment management firm,&nbsp;SkyBridge Capital, to Bankman-Fried, who was later found guilty of fraud.
Despite a significant loss from&nbsp;his $10 million investment in&nbsp;FTX and a legal battle to regain his company stake, Scaramucci has shown remarkable resilience. He emphasizes the importance of integrity and learning from mistakes, stating, &#8220;You&nbsp;can never play the victim&nbsp;in life.&#8221;
Why It Matters: Scaramucci&#8217;s experience serves as a cautionary tale for investors in the volatile cryptocurrency market. Despite his past experience with Bankman-Fried, Scaramucci remains open to new investment opportunities, including in cryptocurrency. 
He continues to seize opportunities, launching a podcast, writing a new book, and maintaining an active social media presence. His resilience and ability to bounce back from setbacks offer valuable lessons for investors and entrepreneurs alike.

<li>Several big names were in attendance, including founding members Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Attorney General Pam Bondi</li>
<li>Executive Branch, which is set to open in Washington D.C. next year, will be the second most expensive private club in the country, with membership fees of $500,000</li>
</ul>
Donald Trump Jr.'s new members-only social club, called Executive Branch, held a launch party on Saturday, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/28/donald-trump-jr-private-members-club-executive-branch.html">CNBC</a> reports. In attendance were several founding members, including Cameron Winklevoss and Tyler Winklevoss, founders of cryptocurrency exchange Gemini, and newly appointed crypto czar David Sacks.
Executive Branch was founded by Donald Trump Jr. alongside Alex and Zach Witkoff, the sons of billionaire investor and U.S. Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff, and Omeed Malik and Christopher Buskirk of 1789 Capital. Donald Trump Jr. was named a partner of the investment firm in 2024.

Sources told CNBC that the club will open at a location in the Georgetown neighborhood of Washington D.C., sometime next year. Invited members will be required to pay a $500,000 membership fee, as well as annual dues, which have not been disclosed.
The club is the latest in a string of private membership clubs that have opened across the country in the past five years. Similar spaces offer exclusive restaurants and bars, meeting rooms, gyms, and spas.&nbsp;
Executive Branch will be the second most expensive club in the country, according to CNBC, falling just behind President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago Resort. Membership fees at the Florida club were raised to $1 million last summer.
Trending: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Are you rich?</a> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.
Insiders told CNBC that Executive Branch will have a select and smaller membership than its competitors. "We don't want members of the media or just a lot of lobbyists joining," said one person close to the club. "We want people to feel comfortable having conversations in privacy."&nbsp;
On top of paying the hefty fees, prospective members will have to be heavily vetted and approved by the founders, CNBC reports. Membership will only be offered following a referral and close screening process.
Those with knowledge of the club told CNBC that they expect it will play a similar role during this administration that the Trump International Hotel played during the last Trump administration, becoming a social hub for administration officials, Republican congressional leaders, foreign dignitaries, lobbyists, and business leaders.
Several government officials and members of the cabinet attended the launch party, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Paul Atkins, Attorney General Pam Bondi, Federal Trade Commission Chair Andrew Ferguson, Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino and Mehmet Oz, administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, were all in attendance CNBC reported. Several tech founders and CEOs were also on hand for the festivities, the report added.

Consumer Tech News (Apr 28-May 2): Trump May Ease Auto Part Tariffs,  House Republicans Tabled $250 Charge On EV & More

President Donald Trump&#8216;s intensifying trade war with China is stirring up dissatisfaction among young Americans.
What Happened: Trump&#8217;s tariffs on Chinese goods are causing disruptions for young Americans who depend on affordable Chinese products and services. These tariffs have resulted in a 145% surge in the price of many imported goods, impacting everything from fast fashion to tech gadgets.
As per the report <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-05-03/young-americans-sours-on-trump-s-china-tariffs-despite-election-year-bump?srnd=homepage-americas&amp;sref=TBDibEcD">by</a> Bloomberg, the escalating trade war is triggering a negative response among young voters, who were instrumental in Trump&#8217;s election success. 
A recent <a href="https://d3nkl3psvxxpe9.cloudfront.net/documents/econTabReport_pXJ0PxA.pdf">poll</a> by YouGov/Economist indicates that 57% of Americans aged 18 to 29 disapprove of Trump&#8217;s job performance, marking a 14-point drop since he assumed office.
The trade dispute could also influence the future of popular social media app TikTok, which was on the verge of securing a deal to continue its operations in the US before the tariffs disrupted the talks.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45184120/warren-buffett-warns-tariffs-could-backfire-on-economy-says-trade-should-not-be-a-weapon-its-a-big-mistake-i-dont-think-its-wise">Warren Buffett Warns Tariffs Could Backfire on Economy, Says, &#8216;Trade Should Not Be A Weapon. It&#8217;s A Big Mistake, I Don&#8217;t Think It&#8217;s Wise&#8217;</a>
Young consumers like Chelsea Hollins, a 26-year-old content creator and college student, are voicing their discontent. &#8220;Everybody is mad,&#8221; Hollins stated. &#8220;That&#8217;s all that I see on my timeline.&#8221;
Despite the mounting criticism, the White House still has the option to backtrack on its tariffs. However, the tariffs imposed on China could have enduring political implications for the GOP in the upcoming congressional midterms.
Why It Matters: The escalating trade war with China and the resulting tariffs are not only impacting the economy but also the political landscape. The dissatisfaction among young Americans, who played a pivotal role in Trump&#8217;s election, could potentially influence future elections. 
The tariffs&#8217; impact on popular services like TikTok further highlights the wide-reaching consequences of this trade dispute. 
The White House&#8217;s decision on whether to continue or reverse these tariffs could have significant implications for the GOP in the forthcoming congressional midterms.

Young Americans Express Discontent Over Trump's China Tariffs

Elon Musk&#8216;s first wife Justine Wilson recently shed light on the complexities of their marriage and the challenges she faced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/07/39657381/elon-musks-mother-recounts-time-her-children-used-to-ask-for-food-she-couldnt-afford-after-">being married to the CEO of Tesla Inc.</a>
What Happened: In a recent interview, Wilson gave an insight into her life with Musk, to whom she was married from 2000 to 2008. The pair, who first crossed paths&nbsp;at Queen&#8217;s University in Ontario,&nbsp;Canada, share six children.
Wilson highlighted the pressure she felt as Musk&#8217;s business pursuits expanded, leading her to feel like a &#8220;trophy wife,&#8221; compelled to fit into a certain Hollywood stereotype. 
She also brought up a car accident that marked a significant shift in their relationship, expressing her apprehension of Musk&#8217;s reaction over their safety, <a href="https://www.indy100.com/politics/elon-musk-justine-wilson-trophy-wife-interview-2671642611#">reports</a> Indy100.
After their divorce, Musk started seeing British actor Talulah Riley, who he married in 2010 and divorced two years later. They got remarried in 2013 but divorced again in 2016.

The revelations by Wilson provide a rare glimpse into the personal life of one of the world&#8217;s most influential tech moguls. Musk&#8217;s personal life has often been under scrutiny due to his high-profile relationships and his outspoken nature. 
The insights shared by Wilson add another layer to the public&#8217;s understanding of the Tesla CEO.

Musk's Ex-Wife Opens Up About Why Life With Elon Was So Difficult

Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy isn't buying President Donald Trump's latest attempt to pin a shaky stock market and economic slowdown on former President Joe Biden.
After Trump claimed in a Truth Social <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114427089568235019">post</a> that the current stock market dip is still &#8220;Biden's Stock Market,&#8221; Portnoy fired back. &#8220;What's that old expression? Don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining? Well that applies here,&#8221; he wrote on <a href="https://x.com/stoolpresidente/status/1917607515270901952">X</a> on Wednesday.&nbsp;
&#8220;The stock market is a direct reflection of Trump's first 100 days in office. Doesn't mean it won't get better and that we don't need to be patient, but this is his market not Biden's.&#8221;

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Trump Keeps Pointing at Biden</h2>
Following a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/45100047/recession-odds-spike-wall-street-tumbles-as-q1-gdp-surprisingly-contracts-be-patient-trump-responds">0.3% drop in U.S. GDP</a> for Q1 2025—the first contraction in three years—Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/45124644/trump-blames-gdp-contraction-on-biden-overhang-nothing-to-do-with-the-tariffs">blamed the results on Biden</a>. &#8220;This is Biden,&#8221; he <a href="https://youtu.be/1QBwJsxN0OQ?si=-u2bcue3Y_rDKqcU&amp;t=6474">said</a> on Wednesday at a Cabinet meeting, adding that even Q2 results should partly fall on his predecessor because &#8220;it doesn't just happen on a daily or an hourly basis.&#8221;
In the same Truth Social post, Trump argued that the U.S. economy was still weighed down by the &#8220;Biden overhang&#8221; and that his own policies, especially tariffs, would soon spark a boom. &#8220;Companies are starting to move into the USA in record numbers,&#8221; he posted. &#8220;Our country will boom, but we have to get rid of the Biden ‘Overhang.' This will take a while, has NOTHING TO DO WITH TARIFFS.&#8221;
But economists say otherwise. The Commerce Department <a href="https://www.bea.gov/data/gdp/gross-domestic-product">attributed</a> the GDP dip to a surge in imports from companies trying to beat Trump's upcoming tariffs. A drop in government spending also played a role. Market analysts note that Trump's policies are already affecting economic behavior.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Executives Cashed Out, Portnoy Stayed In</h2>
While tech and finance insiders were unloading stocks before the market dropped, Portnoy stuck it out and lost big.
As Benzinga previously <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/45028996/in-response-to-zuckerberg-and-dimon-stock-sell-offs-dave-portnoy-says-he-didnt-unload-anything-got-smoked-like-everybody-else">reported</a>, Meta (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) CEO Mark Zuckerberg sold 1.1 million shares for $733 million, Oracle (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) CEO Safra Catz sold $705 million in stock, and JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) CEO Jamie Dimon sold $234 million—all before Trump's tariff announcements sent markets into a nosedive.
Portnoy, on the other hand, <a href="https://x.com/stoolpresidente/status/1914429319499165931">wrote</a> to his X followers mid-April, "I did NOT unload any stock. Got smoked like everybody else." He initially estimated a $7 million hit but later revised it to $20 million, around 15% of his net worth.
See Also: Shark Tank's Kevin O'Leary called Missing Ring his biggest mistake — Don't repeat history—<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/big-tech-has-spent-billions-acquiring-ai-smart-home-startups-one-company-stands-to-benefit-and-has-already-made-10-million">invest in RYSE at just $1.90/share.</a>
Still, Portnoy isn't jumping ship. On his livestream, he called Trump &#8220;a smart guy&#8221; and said he's going to see how the tariff game plays out.
&#8220;I'm going to roll with him and see how it plays out,&#8221; he said.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">From Credit to Blame</h2>
Trump is now trying to distance himself from weak economic data, but just last year, he was eager to take credit for market gains under Biden. On Jan. 29, 2024, while still a presidential candidate, Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/111840568643216314">posted</a> on Truth Social in all caps: "THIS IS THE TRUMP STOCK MARKET BECAUSE MY POLLS AGAINST BIDEN ARE SO GOOD THAT INVESTORS ARE PROJECTING THAT I WILL WIN."
