Elon Musk has responded to President Donald Trump&#8216;s comments about potentially canceling his federal contracts, stating, &#8220;Fair enough.&#8221;
What Happened: In a post on X, on Friday, Musk responded to a statement by President Trump, who suggested that he might review Musk&#8217;s contracts due to the substantial subsidies he receives. The President&#8217;s statement was shared by a Twitter user, DogeDesigner, to which Musk replied, &#8220;Fair enough.&#8221;
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Fair enough
&mdash; Elon Musk (@elonmusk) <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1931181466488053883?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 7, 2025</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
President Trump&#8217;s comments came in response to a question about Musk&#8217;s contracts, where he said, &#8220;We&#8217;ll&nbsp;take a look at everything.&nbsp;He&#8217;s&nbsp;got a lot of money.&nbsp;

He gets a lot of&nbsp;subsidy, so we&#8217;ll&nbsp;take a look at that&nbsp;only if it&#8217;s&nbsp;fair for him and for&nbsp;the country. I would certainly&nbsp;think about it yeah but&nbsp;it has to be fair.&#8221;
Why It Matters: Musk&#8217;s response to President Trump&#8217;s comments has drawn attention due to the potential implications for his businesses. 
The tech mogul&#8217;s companies, including&nbsp;SpaceX&nbsp;and&nbsp;Tesla Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), have received significant government subsidies in the past. A review of these contracts could impact the financial standing of Musk&#8217;s companies.
However, Musk&#8217;s nonchalant response suggests that he is not overly concerned about the potential review. This could indicate his confidence in the fairness and necessity of the subsidies his companies receive.

Trump vs. Musk: Trump Hints at Canceling Musk's Contracts: 'We'll Take a Look at Everything, He's Got a Lot of Money.' Here's How Musk Responded

Mark Cuban knows how to troll with a purpose—especially when Elon Musk is involved. But when he sent Musk a congratulatory text for the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44333836/built-like-a-juggernaut-with-a-solid-heart-of-gold-shivon-zilis-shares-tribute-to-her-newborn-son-with-elon-musk">birth of yet another child</a>, he didn't expect a reply that sounded straight out of a sci-fi pitch meeting: "Mars needs people."
That's not a punchline. That's the actual text Cuban says he got back.
In a 2022 <a href="https://youtu.be/L_8wm30tLyc?si=hDUjVR1lzQrCgh0b">appearance on the "Full Send Podcast"</a>, Cuban got real about the limits of AI, the longevity of human health, and, naturally, Musk. "He's a different dude," Cuban said, when asked whether they'd ever be close. "I know Elon like a tiny bit. He had another kid—this is before the last three or whatever—and I'm like, ‘Dude, congratulations. How many are you going to have?' He goes—sends me a text back—‘Mars needs people.'" Cuban added, "That's what he does."

</ul>
Cue stunned laughter from the podcast hosts. Cuban shrugged, "I don't think he likes me."
And while the line reads like a classic Musk troll, he's dead serious about it. Musk has long argued that humanity's best shot at survival is becoming a multiplanetary species. He's repeatedly said Earth is vulnerable—nuclear war, pandemics, rogue AI—and wants to build a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45612033/elon-musk-touts-spacexs-starship-rocket-ahead-of-launch-says-it-can-reach-mars-in-six-months">self-sustaining city on Mars</a> with up to a million people by 2050. So yeah, when he says "Mars needs people," he's not joking—he's recruiting.
By 2024, Cuban was still retelling the story—this time on <a href="https://youtu.be/fiK6IWhDbWU?si=1R19dO6tXBmcG5sj">"This Past Weekend with Theo Von"</a>—adding a little more context and a few more jabs. "I helped him with something, or tried to, so I had his number," Cuban recalled. "He had a kid and I'm like, ‘Congrats on your 97th kid,' and he texts me back: ‘Mars needs people.' And I'm like, that's funny as f&#x2A;&#x2A;&#x2A;."
But the bromance stops there.

Cuban said things got a little rockier when he tweeted something less-than-glowing about Tesla. Musk didn't take it well. "He just sends me a text with the article and it says, ‘F&#x2A;&#x2A;&#x2A; you.' That's it. Just ‘F&#x2A;&#x2A;&#x2A; you,'" Cuban laughed.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45606874/mark-cuban-calls-elon-musk-thin-skinned-but-still-owns-a-tesla-says-hed-rather-drive-his-electric-kia-because-it-doesnt-try-to-be-too-fancy">"He's thin-skinned,"</a> Cuban continued, noting that Musk has <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/dereksaul/2024/01/09/elon-musk-calls-mark-cuban-racist-over-dei-support-as-feud-continues/">since called him a "racist,"</a> hit him with the infamous poop emoji, and hurled other insults. "That just gives me license to f&#x2A;&#x2A;&#x2A; with him even more," Cuban said. "I don't give a f&#x2A;&#x2A;&#x2A; what he thinks."
Despite the name-calling, Cuban made it clear he still respects Musk's entrepreneurial streak. "SpaceX, Starlink, Tesla—dude's the entrepreneur of our generation," he said. "There's nobody close."
Even with that praise, Cuban's stance is unbothered. "He says some stupid s&#x2A;&#x2A;&#x2A;," he admitted. "And I have no problem calling him out."
As for whether they'll ever squash the beef?
Probably not. But Cuban seems just fine keeping the banter alive—<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45425598/elon-musks-dad-says-its-wonderful-he-has-14-kids-and-doesnt-need-to-follow-so-called-morals-hes-not-married-h">one Mars baby joke at a time</a>.

Mark Cuban Says Elon Musk Is a 'Different Dude' — He Joked 'Congrats on Your 97th Kid' And Got the Wildest Response: 'Mars Needs People'

A Florida family thought they were upgrading their kitchen. Instead, they say they got a disaster — one that soaked their home, drained their finances, and may soon head to court.
<a href="https://www.news4jax.com/news/local/2025/05/20/jacksonville-family-forced-to-deal-with-700k-worth-of-damages-after-costco-fridge-installation-goes-awry/">According to WJXT-TV</a>'s News4JAX in Jacksonville, Saint. John's resident Bradley Byrd and his family purchased a $3,500 KitchenAid refrigerator <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/management/25/05/45248740/charlie-munger-says-the-secret-is-to-find-costcos-not-good-exits-saying-his-wealth-came-from-relentless-holding-and-not-slick-sell-signals">from Costco</a> in December. The fridge was delivered and installed by a third-party company contracted by the warehouse-club chain — but just six hours later, Byrd got a FaceTime call from his daughter that stopped him cold.
"Dad, the house is underwater," she told him.
Don't Miss:

</ul>
Byrd rushed home to find water flooding the floors. Video footage he later shared shows the damage: soaked carpets, standing water, and furniture floating. The family says the refrigerator's water line had been installed incorrectly — a critical error that allegedly caused the line to rupture after being pinched beneath the fridge's wheels.
"They allowed the refrigerator's wheels to sit on a line, which caused a crack that grew larger and larger," Byrd told News4JAX.
The result? Mold, structural damage, and a $700,000 headache, according to a public adjuster's estimate. The family was forced to evacuate their home just before Christmas and spent months living in an Airbnb. They've since returned, but Byrd says their home is still partially unlivable — with no working kitchen or bathroom, and lawn chairs and folding tables standing in for real furniture.
"We purchased these lovely tables to prepare food on and to eat at," Byrd said, with dry irony.
So far, Byrd estimates he's spent around $300,000 out-of-pocket on remediation, storage, testing, and repairs. While Costco has provided $38,000 for temporary living expenses and — according to Byrd — offered $175,000 toward damages, the family has not accepted the settlement. Legal action is now on the table.

News4JAX reports that its team reached out to Costco multiple times via phone, email, and social media. As of publication, the company had not responded. The contractor responsible for delivery and installation, RXO Last Mile, declined to comment, reportedly stating that the issue is not its to resolve
"They drop the ball and are hoping that I foot the bill with my life savings for their bottom line," Byrd told News4JAX.
He's now documenting the ordeal publicly on CostcoWaterDamage.com and even paid for local billboards to raise awareness. His site includes a detailed cost breakdown, showing the scope of the damage and his mounting expenses, which include:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>$360,000 in estimated damage to the home</li>
<li>$76,000 in personal property losses</li>
<li>$78,000 in alternative housing expenses</li>
<li>$117,000 for mitigation, moving, and storage</li>
<li>$72,000 in professional services and legal preparation</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Who's Liable?</h2>
At the center of the story is a growing concern many <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/02/37313709/warren-buffett-has-spent-66-years-in-the-same-home-and-warns-a-house-can-be-a-nightmare-heres-what-h">homeowners may not think about:</a> who's responsible when a third-party contractor makes a mistake? Costco contracts out appliance installations to outside vendors — in this case, RXO — and the legal responsibility for any errors may ultimately depend on what's proven in court.
While Costco did provide some assistance, the Byrds say it's not nearly enough. As of now, no lawsuit has been filed, but Byrd told News4JAX, "I think that, unfortunately, is the next step."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Can Homeowners Protect Themselves?</h2>
This case has raised questions about what recourse homeowners have when something goes wrong with a professional installation. In many cases, appliance damage caused by poor installation may not be fully covered by a <a href="https://www.progressive.com/answers/does-home-insurance-cover-appliances/">standard homeowners insurance policy</a> — especially if the damage is considered preventable or due to contractor error.
Some experts suggest:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Always photograph the installation as it happens</li>
<li>Check water lines and electrical connections before accepting delivery</li>
<li>Request the installer's credentials and inquire whether the work is bonded or insured</li>
<li>Consider supplemental liability insurance or home warranties that cover third-party work</li>
</ul>
As for the Byrds, they're still hoping for resolution — and a return to normal life. Until then, their kitchen remains unfinished, their bathroom nonfunctional, and their <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/04/38277365/grant-cardone-gives-7-reasons-why-you-should-rent-instead-of-buying-a-home">story a cautionary tale</a> for anyone who assumes a fridge upgrade is as simple as plug-and-play.

'Dad, The House Is Underwater' — Florida Family's $3,500 Costco Fridge Turns Into $700,000 Nightmare: 'They Drop the Ball, I Foot The Bill'

In the latest development in the feud between President Donald Trump and Elon Musk, betting markets have started speculating on the potential outcomes.
What Happened: The disagreement between Trump and Musk, a key supporter of the Republican party in the 2024 presidential race, has intensified. The contention revolves around Trump&#8217;s &#8220;One Big Beautiful Bill,&#8221; legislation that Musk fears could have a detrimental effect on the national debt.
Online betting platforms like Polymarket are being utilized to forecast the feud&#8217;s trajectory, including the probability of a meeting between the two before the year concludes. 
Polymarket traders anticipate a 57% chance of a meeting by year-end, but only a 14% chance&nbsp;by June 30 and a&nbsp;31% chance by July 31.

According to <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/betting-markets-preview-possible-escalation-musk-trump-feud-2082072">Newsweek</a>, competing betting site Kalshi assigns a 56% chance of Trump and Musk communicating before July. The probability of Trump being suspended from X by next Friday is low at only 1.7%, as per Polymarket.
William Hill, another betting market, predicts a slightly higher chance of Trump being&nbsp;banned from X during his&nbsp;second term at around 40%. The likelihood of Musk unfollowing Trump on social media is also low, with Polymarket estimating it at 19% and Kalshi at 33%.
Polymarket also forecasts a low probability of Musk establishing a new political party, with a 7%&nbsp;chance by the end of&nbsp;June and a 22% chance&nbsp;by the end of the&nbsp;year. The prospect of a truce between the two by July is also seen as unlikely, with a 33% chance.
According to Kalshi, the odds&nbsp;of Musk rejoining the Trump&nbsp;administration are low at approximately 16%.
Why It Matters: The feud between Musk and Trump has been a topic of public interest, with its potential impact on political and economic landscapes. 
The betting markets&#8217; predictions provide an insight into public sentiment and expectations regarding the feud&#8217;s future. 
The speculation also highlights the influence of high-profile individuals like Musk and Trump on public discourse and policy-making.

Trump vs. Musk: Betting Markets Anticipate Next Move in Musk-Trump Feud, Predict Low Chances of Musk Forming Political Party

Stocks closed the week strongly after a turbulent beginning dominated by trade tensions, political theater, and conflicting economic news. A robust U.S. jobs report Friday sent major indexes to multi-month highs, but the real winners were <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">thematic and tactical ETFs</a> surfing niche trends.
The Amplify Junior Silver Miners ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SILJ#NYSE">SILJ</a>) jumped over 10%, coming out on top as silver prices surged earlier this week. Precious metals were rushed to by investors as a hedge against uncertainty globally, with the junior miners, a group famous for their sensitivity to metal prices, coming on top.
The Sprott Critical Materials ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SETM#NASDAQ">SETM</a>) rose more than 6%, while demand for strategic metals such as lithium, cobalt, and rare earths continued to be strong. The fund benefited from increasing momentum surrounding the global clean energy revolution and sustained supply issues linked to geopolitical tensions.
The VanEck Junior Gold Miners ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GDXJ#NYSE">GDXJ</a>) gained approximately 4%, benefiting from safe-haven demand. As gold temporarily turned upward on inflation and geo-risk concerns, junior gold miners were a natural recipient, providing high beta exposure to the precious metal.
The T-Rex 2x Inverse Tesla Daily Target ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLZ#BATS">TSLZ</a>) soared more than 22% on the week, as Tesla stock plummeted amid a publicized political battle between Elon Musk and Donald Trump. The fund, providing double the inverse daily return of Tesla equity, emerged as a top short play for investors selling the EV giant short.
Finally, the Grayscale Bitcoin Miners ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MNRS#NYSE">MNRS</a>) recorded a whopping 11%+ return, even as Bitcoin prices remained relatively stable. The miners&#8217; stock rally is driven by the expectation of efficiency improvements, improved margins, and expectation of further appreciation in crypto markets.

Commodities rallied in response, oil and gas soared on supply worries, and gold and silver on safe-haven flows.
Tuesday saw a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/broad-u-s-equity-etfs/25/06/45755138/small-caps-surge-dollar-general-stock-eyes-best-day-crude-hits-2-week-highs-whats-driving-markets-tuesday">rally in small-caps and energy stocks</a> as the Russell 2000 jumped and crude oil reached two-week highs. The momentum broke midweek, though, as economic data disappointed.

By Thursday, markets responded to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/market-summary/25/06/45798808/trump-announces-china-trade-talks-tesla-stock-slumps-whats-driving-markets-thursday">Trump&#8217;s unexpected tweet announcing</a> resumed trade negotiations with China. But the true showstopper was Tesla&#8217;s precipitous fall, down close to 14%, on account of political fallout and fear over government contracts. In the meantime, Circle&#8217;s IPO stole the spotlight with a blockbuster listing.
Friday afternoon brought relief: a stronger-than-forecast jobs report <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/06/45820223/stocks-rally-on-strong-jobs-numbers-tesla-rebounds-as-trump-musk-feud-softens-whats-driving-markets-friday">helped to buoy all boats</a>. Stocks broadly rallied, topped by small-caps and tech, as bond yields rose and Tesla rebounded as the Trump-Musk standoff seemed to ease.
To sum up, the week crammed in tariffs, trade negotiations, tech tantrums, and a jobs-driven finale—demonstrating that even in a market beset by headlines, the correct ETFs can continue to shine.

ETFs This Week: Tesla Turmoil, Silver Surge, And A Jobs-Driven Market Rally Drove These 5 ETFs To Outperform

Vice President JD Vance has voiced his doubts about Elon Musk&#8216;s possible reentry into the MAGA community following a contentious exchange with President Donald Trump.
What Happened: In a conversation on the &#8220;This Past Weekend&#8221; podcast, Vance came to Trump&#8217;s defense, dismissing Musk&#8217;s Jeffrey Epstein-related allegations as &#8220;totally BS.&#8221;
He expressed optimism that Musk might be readmitted into the MAGA community, but conceded that it might not be feasible due to the intensity of the fallout.
"First of all, absolutely not. Donald Trump didn't do anything wrong with Jeffrey Epstein. Like, there's, the guy is, whatever the Democrats and the media says about him, that's totally BS," Vance said.
During the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbJsQk4rbBw">conversation</a>, Vance speculated that Musk&#8217;s irritation could be due to the sluggish pace of politics and the bureaucracy involved. 
He conceded that the &#8220;One Big Beautiful Bill&#8221; is flawed, but criticized Musk for publicly confronting the president. "I hope that eventually Elon kind of comes back into the fold. Maybe that's not possible now because he's gone so nuclear. But I hope it is, man," he added.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45827849/public-fight-between-trump-and-musk-rocks-tesla-spacex-here-are-the-biggest-bombshells">Public Fight Between Trump and Musk Rocks Tesla, SpaceX: Here Are the Biggest Bombshells</a>
The ongoing dispute between Musk and Trump intensified when Musk implicated Trump in the Epstein files. Musk&#8217;s critique of Trump&#8217;s bill sparked a verbal battle, with Trump threatening to revoke Musk&#8217;s government contracts.
"I think part of it is this guy got into politics and has suffered a lot for it. But I mean and I get the frustration there," Vance said.
"I think it's a huge mistake for him to go after the president like that. And I think that if he and the president are in some blood feud, most importantly, it's going to be bad for the country, but I think it's going to be, I don't think it's going to be good for Elon either," Vance added during the interaction. 
The &#8220;Epstein files&#8221; Musk mentioned are thought to include the identities of those who had connections with the late Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender.
Why It Matters: The public feud between Musk and Trump has the potential to impact Musk&#8217;s standing within the MAGA community, which could have wider implications for his business interests, given Trump&#8217;s threat to cancel his government contracts. 
The situation underscores the often volatile relationship between politics and business, and the potential consequences when the two collide.

JD Vance Questions Elon Musk's MAGA Reinstatement After Trump Clash: 'Maybe That's Not Possible Now Because He's Gone So Nuclear'

In the wake of the public disagreement between Elon Musk and President Donald Trump, Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) has declared significant price reductions for its Cybertruck model.
What Happened: Tesla is now offering interest-free loans for Cybertruck purchases, which&nbsp;is equivalent to a $10,000&nbsp;discount. This decision was made in response to a 14% decrease in Tesla&#8217;s stock value, following a heated social media exchange between Musk and Trump.
Over the past year, Tesla&#8217;s popularity has taken a hit due to Musk&#8217;s&nbsp;association with the Trump administration.&nbsp;
This connection has resulted in a change in Tesla&#8217;s customer demographics, with those opposing Trump and Musk either selling or damaging their vehicles. The recent clash between the two could further affect Tesla&#8217;s sales.
As per the report <a href="https://electrek.co/2025/06/05/tesla-goes-full-desperate-cybertruck-with-biggest-discount-yet/">by</a> Electrek, Tesla has announced the interest-free loan offer for Cybertruck purchases, valid until June 30. This announcement came after a significant drop in Tesla&#8217;s stock due to the escalating&nbsp;conflict between Musk and Trump.
Despite its unique design, the Cybertruck has historically lagged in sales compared to other Tesla models. As of May, over 10,000 units remain unsold in Tesla&#8217;s inventory.

After leaving the White House, Musk has expressed his desire to avoid politics and concentrate on his tech companies, including Tesla and SpaceX.
Why It Matters: The recent feud between Musk and Trump, and the subsequent reaction of Tesla&#8217;s customer base, highlights the potential risks for companies when their leaders are closely tied to political figures. 
The significant discount on the Cybertruck, a model that has already been struggling with sales, could be seen as a desperate move to boost sales and regain customer trust. 
However, whether this strategy will be successful remains to be seen.

Musk vs. Trump: Tesla Slashes Cybertruck Prices After Feud Heats Up, Here's How Much You Need To Pay for It Now

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45601247/shaq-owned-155-five-guys-but-had-no-clue-how-to-run-them-so-he-turned-to-a-mcdonalds-manager-who-hooked-him-up-during-his-nba-days-into-a-partner">Shaquille O'Neal</a> could spend his days checking stock tickers or reviewing his empire of investments — a net worth estimated around $500 million — but that's not what gets him up in the morning.
"Once or twice a week, I try to do good deeds," he said in a <a href="https://youtu.be/OXrSIp-02Ak?si=hzxt9oufUbTGoiJS">2020 TNT YouTube clip</a> that went viral. No PR campaign. No cameras in his face. Just Shaq, a shoe store, and a kid who reminded him of his younger self — right down to the oversized feet and the single mom trying to make it work.
In this particular "good deed," the 7-foot-1 NBA great heard about a Georgia eighth grader with size 19 feet and no shoes that fit. The teen, Zach Keith, had been squeezing into whatever his mom could find — and afford. But for someone built like a power forward before he's even reached high school, options are limited, and price tags are brutal. So his mother, Brittany, reached out for help.

</ul>
Shaq saw the message on Instagram and didn't hesitate. He took Zach to Friedman's Shoes in Atlanta — the same store that once gave young Shaquille a break back in the late '80s, before he was famous and still living on an army base in San Antonio. "I had one pair of shoes the whole year," he said. "Till I met Bruce."
Bruce Teilhaber, the owner of Friedman's, is something of a legend in Shaq's life. A friend of Shaq's father had called Bruce looking for help, and Bruce delivered — a free pair of supersized shoes for a supersized teen who had none. Shaq never forgot.
Since then, O'Neal's returned the favor — over and over again. He's reportedly bought more than 2,000 pairs from Friedman's, a one-man stimulus package for the store. "One of the best things that ever happened to me and my family was meeting Shaquille O'Neal," Bruce said in the clip. "Because if you're in business and you know him, you're gonna be okay."

Zach wasn't just treated to one pair of sneakers. Shaq bought him ten — including dress shoes for his eighth-grade dance, which his mom said he hadn't had in four or five years. Shaq even slipped him some extra cash and told him to pick out a suit. "You're gonna take that money, get a suit, and walk in there like this," he said, demonstrating his signature Shaq strut.
But the shopping spree wasn't just about shoes. It was about memory. It was about dignity. "I used to wear size 13s, squeezing into them even when I was a 15. I had to come home, wash them, make 'em look brand new so the kids wouldn't talk crazy," Shaq said. "So I know the struggle. And I don't forget the struggle."

It's a theme that runs through Shaq's off-court life. While some celebrities pivot to yachts and private islands, O'Neal's just as comfortable wiring money to strangers, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45589413/shaquille-o-neal-says-a-young-waitress-once-asked-him-for-a-4000-tip-to-pay-her-rent-for-two-months-and-he-said-ok-no-problem">tipping restaurant servers thousands</a>, or, in this case, walking a kid with size 19 feet through a store that changed his own life decades ago.
Zach's mom was overwhelmed. Shaq's kindness, she said, was life-changing. Her son — who couldn't stop grinning — walked out with shoes, confidence, and a new contact in his phone.
That's just how Shaq operates. He's a humble half-billionaire with a soft spot for big feet, good suits, and good deeds — preferably in that order.

Shaq Buys A Kid With Size 19 Feet 10 Pairs Of Shoes After Hearing He's Squeezing Into Whatever Mom Can Afford—He Had To Do Same For 3 Years

The public disagreement between Elon Musk and President Donald Trump is causing significant repercussions for Musk&#8217;s businesses, Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and SpaceX.
What Happened: The fallout from this dispute has led to a 14% drop in Tesla shares, erasing $138 billion from the company&#8217;s market value. Musk&#8217;s personal fortune has also suffered, decreasing by $34 billion.
The public spat could lead to Musk losing the support of Trump&#8217;s followers, who have previously stood by him during Tesla&#8217;s stock declines. Post the disagreement, Trump is reportedly contemplating selling his Tesla car, which he bought&nbsp;at a White House event&nbsp;with Musk.
Analysts have cautioned investors to prepare for more turbulence. According to one of the prominent analysts, Tesla&#8217;s stock was &#8220;extremely overvalued&#8221; due to the perceived advantages from Musk&#8217;s association with Trump. 
With this cushion now gone, investors are compelled to evaluate the company&#8217;s actual internal figures, which Monteiro asserts are not in line&nbsp;with the stock&#8217;s performance this&nbsp;year.
As per the report <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-elon-musk-fight-takeaways-tesla-spacex-ai-2025-6">by</a> Insider, Trump has also hinted at making regulatory hurdles for Tesla and terminating government contracts with Musk&#8217;s companies, which could save &#8220;billions and billions.&#8221;

This could particularly affect SpaceX, which has approximately&nbsp;$22 billion in federal contracts&nbsp;and considers NASA its biggest client.
The public disagreement has also led Musk to poll his followers about forming a new political party, a move that could cause further friction with Trump and within the Republican Party. 
Despite the escalating feud, some prominent supporters of both Musk and Trump have urged for a reconciliation for the nation&#8217;s benefit.
Why It Matters: The public feud between these two influential figures could have far-reaching implications. The potential loss of Trump&#8217;s followers&#8217; support and the threat of regulatory hurdles could significantly impact Tesla and SpaceX&#8217;s future. 
Moreover, the possibility of Musk creating a new political party could add another layer of complexity to the already tense situation. 
The call for reconciliation from high-profile backers indicates the gravity of the situation and its potential impact on the country&#8217;s socio-political landscape.

Public Fight Between Trump and Musk Rocks Tesla, SpaceX: Here Are the Biggest Bombshells

While heavyweights like Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Costco Wholesale Corp.

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) have compounded investor wealth over the years, this particular beverage company has outperformed all of the others over the last 30 years.
What Happened: No, it&#8217;s not Coca-Cola Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>) or PepsiCo Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PEP#NASDAQ">PEP</a>), but it is Monster Beverage Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MNST#NASDAQ">MNST</a>), which has advanced 444,867% since 1995, outperforming all the other S&amp;P 500 stocks over the last 30 years.
According to data highlighted by Charlie Bilello, the chief marketing strategist at Creative Planning, Monster Beverage has provided a 32.6% annualized return over the last 30 years since Aug. 18, 1995.
The data shows that if an investor had bought positions worth $10,000 in the beverage company, they would have a total of $44,496,814 today.
The exchange-traded fund tracking the S&amp;P 500 index, SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), rose 1,868% in the same period, providing a 10.4% annualized return. Thus growing a $10,000 investment into $196,840 over the 30 years.
The top five S&amp;P 500 performers apart from MNST, according to Bilello&#8217;s list, include Nvidia, Amazon, Axon Enterprises Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AXON#NASDAQ">AXON</a>), and Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>)

Why It Matters: Shares of Monster Beverage have risen by 22.25% on a year-to-date basis, whereas it has gained 23.24% over the last year.
The technical indicators painted a strong picture for the stock. It closed at $63.95 apiece on Friday, which was above its short and long-term simple daily moving averages.
The relative strength index of 67.46 was closer to the overbought conditions but still in the neutral zone. A positive MACD line of 1.33 suggested that its 12-day exponential moving average was above its 26-day EMA, indicating a bullish momentum.

You'd Be A Millionaire If You Invested $10,000 In This Stock In 1995: Here Is S&P 500's Top Performing Stock Over The Last 30 Years

Apple (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) co-founder Steve Jobs made it a rule to rethink decisions instantly when new facts surfaced, a habit he drilled into future CEO Tim Cook before naming him his successor.
What Happened: Cook later, in an <a href="https://www.wsj.com/video/series/the-job-interview/apples-tim-cook-on-lessons-from-steve-jobs-his-morning-routine-and-more/E14DB120-4540-4386-B9A6-3D4378ADE313">interview</a> with the Wall Street Journal back in October 2024, called the skill "brilliant" and said "very few people have it," crediting Jobs for teaching him never to stay "married to my past views" once better evidence appeared.
"[I learned] not to be so proud you can't change your mind when you're presented with new evidence," explained Cook. Cook says Jobs could pivot instantly, changing his mind in a snap — a skill that first startled him. Over time, Cook grew to love this trait.
Jobs's readiness to pivot rested on sharp emotional intelligence — the ability to read, interpret and manage feelings to reach a goal. Biographer Walter Isaacson <a href="https://www.bookreporter.com/reviews/steve-jobs/excerpt">wrote</a> that Jobs could "size people up, understand their inner thoughts, and hurt them at will," proving that the same EQ that fuels inspiration can also manipulate.

Many who&#8217;ve worked with Jobs say that duality <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45634441/steve-jobs-wasnt-happy-unless-things-were-insanely-great-and-thats-why-this-tech-ceo-is-passionate-a">made him someone</a> whose intensity frightened colleagues yet fueled Apple's comeback from near-bankruptcy. The practice also mirrors Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) founder Jeff Bezos's advice that &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/23/10/35441274/jeff-bezos-explains-people-who-are-right-a-lot-tend-to-change-their-minds-often-and-says-consistency">people who are right a lot</a> change their mind a lot,&#8221; a principle behavioral scientists link to better strategic judgment.
Why It Matters: On the topic of Jobs&#8217; leadership cues that few tend to emulate, former iPhone designer Jony Ive once mentioned how he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/cannabis/25/06/45718360/jony-ive-once-said-steve-jobs-demanded-everyone-at-apple-often-answer-this-question-it-still-shocks-me-how-few-people-actually-practice-this">learnt relentless focus</a> from the Apple co-founder. Ive, who called Jobs "the most remarkably focused person" he had ever met, said this simple trait isn't something people can sprinkle at will but an "every-minute" discipline. Jobs&#8217; energy and focus also inspired Salesforce Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NYSE">CRM</a>) CEO Marc Benioff, who credits a key <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45559653/steve-jobs-once-invited-marc-benioff-to-his-office-with-two-ipads-in-2010-the-lesson-that-shaped-a-270-billion-salesforce-empire">2010 conversation with Jobs</a> for shaping the focused product strategy that helped build his company's $250 billion market capitalization.

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.

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.

<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 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;
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">"Musk and Trump went from BFFs to this frenemies situation, it's almost like a junior high sort of fight that's happened between these friends, and I think it caught investors off guard," Wedbush Securities Managing Director <a href="https://twitter.com/DivesTech?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@DivesTech</a> says. <a href="https://t.co/L0PYfbvR7y">pic.twitter.com/L0PYfbvR7y</a>

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>.
