SpaceX announced it will launch its Dragon Cargo Capsule to the International Space Station (ISS) from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida via its Falcon 9 Rocket on Monday, April 21, 4:15 AM EDT.
What Happened: As part of a resupply mission, Elon Musk's company will launch an uncrewed Dragon Cargo Capsule to the ISS aboard the Falcon 9 Rocket. The mission, dubbed the CRS-32 (Commercial Resupply Mission), is the Dragon Capsule's 32nd launch as part of NASA's resupply contract with SpaceX.

The company has shared that an alternate launch window dated Tuesday, April 22, at 3:53 AM is available for the mission, should there be any delays on Monday. SpaceX says the flight will last about 28 hours, after which the capsule will &#8220;autonomously dock&#8221; to the ISS.
SpaceX says the Falcon 9 Rocket will land at the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station after separation from the capsule post-launch.
NASA revealed that in addition to essential supplies for the crew aboard the ISS, the capsule will also carry two atomic clocks and an advanced air quality monitoring system that could aid astronauts in future Moon and Mars exploratory missions.
Why It Matters: News of the launch comes in as SpaceX is making moves in the space exploration sector, having recently emerged as a ‘frontrunner' for key <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44861620/spacex-palantir-frontrunners-in-bid-that-could-build-donald-trumps-golden-dome-report">Pentagon defense contracts</a>.

Elon Musk's SpaceX Will Launch Dragon Cargo Capsule As Part Of CRS-32 Mission To ISS

Memecoins followed Bitcoin's (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) Sunday evening breakout, with Fartcoin again spearheading the sector-wide rally.
What happened: The Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>)-based cryptocurrency spiked 4.67% over the previous day, becoming the biggest gainer among the top ten meme coins by market capitalization.
The silly-sounding coin has risen 111% in the last month, defying the tariff-induced bearishness in the broader cryptocurrency market.
Interestingly, a whale who had suffered big losses on previous FARTCOIN transactions and was holding unrealized losses flipped the script, selling around $2.47 million worth of memecoin for a $127,000 profit, according to Lookonchain.

Zions Bancorp Gears Up For Q1 Print; Here Are The Recent Forecast Changes From Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts

Former White House strategist Steve Bannon has opened a new front in the Republican civil war, branding tech billionaire Elon Musk "evil" and a "techno‑feudalist" bent on remaking humanity with brain chips.
What Happened: In a fresh <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/steve-bannon-prison-more-powerful-musk-trump-maga-third-term-2025-4">interview</a> with Business Insider, Bannon said Musk's Neuralink project, which recently implanted its first <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44358022/paralyzed-man-moves-objects-with-his-mind-thanks-to-elon-musks-brain-chip">wireless interface</a> in a human subject, amounts to "satanism with a brain chip." "By seeking to implant computer chips in people's brains, Musk is attempting to disrupt humanity itself," Bannon said. "We are on the side of the human being."
Neuralink <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38920514/elon-musks-neuralink-receives-fda-approval-for-second-human-brain-chip-implant-report">won</a> U.S. Food and Drug Administration clearance last year and has reported that early patients can move a computer cursor by thought alone, a milestone Musk argues will help paralyzed people and eventually "merge humans with AI."
Bannon's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/42935180/steve-bannon-targets-elon-musk-pledges-to-expel-him-from-maga-movement-he-is-a-truly-evil-guy">assault</a> has previously drawn fire from Musk, who posted on X in February that Bannon is "a great talker, but not a great doer. What did he get done this week? Nothing."

Why It Matters: Their clash pits two influential voices competing for Donald Trump's ear. Bannon hosts the hard‑right "War Room" podcast and says he is helping craft the campaign's "Flood the Zone" messaging. Musk, meanwhile, has become a GOP hero for slashing federal bureaucracy and championing cryptocurrency.
The feud also exposes ideological rifts inside MAGA ranks. Bannon rails against H‑1B visas and "globalist" tech, while Musk relies on high‑skill immigration for Tesla, SpaceX, and X. Trump reportedly urged the men to bury the hatchet, but Bannon tells Business Insider the president has "more important things to do."
Bannon insists the stakes are spiritual. "Elon was always evil," he said. "It is a massive leap for humankind, and we won't be the same people on the other side."
While the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/25/01/43101102/elon-musk-the-richest-man-in-the-world-is-estimated-to-earn-over-23-million-every-single-hour-of-the-day-heres-how-hes-spending-it">world&#8217;s richest man&#8217;s</a> governmental roles have made headlines over the past few months, Dan Ives believes Musk <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44891383/elon-musk-needs-to-leave-the-government-and-get-back-to-being-ceo-of-tesla-says-dan-ives-ahead-of-q1-earnings">should</a> &#8220;get back to being CEO of Tesla full-time&#8221;.

Steve Bannon Says Elon Musk Is 'Evil,' Blasts His Brain Chip Ambitions As 'Techno‑Feudalist' Plot To Hijack Humanity's Future

The latest data shows a split in U.S. trucking volumes since the tariffs were announced early this month, with certain regions and sectors performing significantly better than the others.
What Happened: On Sunday, Craig Fuller, the founder and CEO of FreightWaves Inc., a supply chain and logistics intelligence service, shared some stats on his X account regarding the performance of several regional trucking markets since the tariffs were announced, and what they mean for different sectors.
Fuller states that, based on the data compiled by his company, freight markets with exposure to agriculture and oil and gas markets are doing well since the trade war began. On the other hand, those serving retail and manufacturing segments are struggling, with heavy manufacturing getting completely &#8220;obliterated.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
When asked if there are any correlations between freight markets and the earnings of different industries, Fuller says that they do, with dozens of hedge funds buying their data for this very reason.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Fuller then covered the latest figures for each of the major trucking markets within the United States, while explaining what they mean for different industries. 
Kansas City and Omaha are the only two markets that witnessed a YoY increase in volumes, by 7% and 6%, respectively, with both cities being major agricultural hubs. Similarly, Houston, a major oil production, refining, and processing center, saw a mere 3% YoY decline in trucking volumes, hinting at the sector&#8217;s resilience in the face of tariffs.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Other major markets, especially those focused on manufacturing, aren&#8217;t faring too well, with Fuller adding that &#8220;If domestic manufacturing were picking up the slack from declining imports, it would be reflected in the trucking volumes out of a few major industrial markets.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
According to FreightWaves data, Atlanta, Dallas, and Chicago volumes are down 12%, 13%, and 19% YoY, respectively. The biggest decline was seen in Cleveland, a major manufacturing hub, which is down 35% YoY. 
Why It Matters: This comes amid growing consensus that tariffs will not help U.S. manufacturing. According to a recent <a href="https://benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44812675/us-manufacturing-unlikely-to-benefit-from-tariffs-survey-indicates-majority-feels-trump-team-is-bullying-corporate-america">supply chain survey</a> by CNBC, nearly half of the respondents say that President Donald Trump&#8217;s trade wars will lead companies to search for other low-tariff regimes, instead of reshoring.
U.S. manufacturing had already <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44588076/us-manufacturing-slips-into-contraction-as-tariff-driven-costs-hit-near-3-year-high">slipped into contraction</a> in March, even before the major &#8216;Liberation Day&#8217; tariffs were announced. This decline was attributed to rising input prices as companies began stockpiling inventories to avoid the forthcoming tariffs.
The CEO of Blackrock Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLK#NYSE">BLK</a>), Larry Fink also <a href="https://benzinga.com/25/04/44661665/manufacturing-resurgence-not-without-a-workforce-says-blackrocks-fink">held a similar stance</a>, stating that &#8220;The USA doesn&#8217;t even have enough workers to become a manufacturing economy,&#8221; during the CERAWeek energy conference last week.

"How is it that Alibaba shows up with something incredible, DeepSeek shows up with something better," Palihapitiya asked, indicating that Nvidia's chips may be finding their way into Chinese hands.
He noted that after the U.S. banned the sale of top-tier GPUs like the A100 and H100 to China, Nvidia quickly rolled out slightly modified versions — the A800 and H800 — which reduced data transfer speeds just enough to meet export rules, while still offering strong performance.

Nvidia also introduced the H20 chip, specifically designed for the Chinese market to comply with updated U.S. regulations, yet still delivering significant computing power, Palihaptiya said.
&#8220;You have a 2017 plan that they&#8217;ve been executing against, which is to say, we want to dominate this space. And you have an American company that has been working around the guidelines at every turn to try to land silicon into the hands of China,&#8221; the billionaire investor said.
White House-appointed &#8216;AI and Crypto Czar&#8217; David Sacks echoed Palihapitiya's concerns, pointing out the growing issue of export controls evasion.
Sacks highlighted an incident involving Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>), which faced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42644888/biden-administration-targets-chinese-firm-over-taiwan-semiconductor-chip-found-in-huawei-tech">fines for circumventing export restrictions</a>.

Nvidia did not immediately respond to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga's</a> request for comments.
Why It's Important: Palihapitiya&#8217;s statements are part of a broader debate on U.S.-China relations and the control of AI technologies.
The White House has imposed an indefinite export ban on Nvidia&#8217;s H20 chips to China, prompting the company to warn of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44828742/nvidia-stock-is-tumbling-after-hours-heres-why">potential $5.5 billion hit</a> to its quarterly revenue, according to a recent filing.
Notably, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang was on a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44890578/nvidias-jensen-huang-meets-shanghai-mayor-amid-fresh-us-chip-curbs">high-level tour</a> of China last week.
In February, reports revealed that Chinese tech giants Tencent Holdings (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TCEHY#OTC">TCEHY</a>), Alibaba Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>), and ByteDance <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43931074/chinese-tech-giants-like-tencent-alibaba-and-bytedance-rush-to-buy-nvidias-h20-ai-chips-as-deepseeks-low-cost-models-fuel-massive-demand-surge">significantly increased their orders</a> for Nvidia's H20 AI chips, spurred by the rise of DeepSeek&#8217;s cost-efficient AI models.
DeepSeek's R1 model, reportedly developed for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/43256425/nvidia-says-deepseek-an-illustration-of-how-new-ai-models-can-be-created-while-being-export-control-compliant-amid-600-billion-market-value-plunge">less than $6 million</a>, has outperformed top U.S. models—including those from OpenAI.
Price Action: Nvidia shares have fallen 26.67% year-to-date but remain up 27.55% over the past 12 months, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.
Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings gives Nvidia a strong growth score of 94.80%. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Click here to see how it stacks up against</a> TSMC, Alibaba, Tencent, and other major tech players.

Nvidia Not Acting In US Interests, Says Chamath Palihapitiya — Questions, How Alibaba Or DeepSeek Are One Step Ahead

Amid escalating trade tensions between the U.S. and China, tech bull Dan Ives thinks the time is "ticking" for trade deals as Wall Street reels from the aftermath of a tug-of-war between the world's top two economies.
What Happened: Nvidia Corp.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) finds itself at the center of a geopolitical tug-of-war. The U.S. has imposed new restrictions on Nvidia&#8217;s H20 chip sales to China, a move that underscores the ongoing struggle for technological supremacy, Ives said.
"The White House needs trade deals done quick with a negotiation path established with China&#8230;.otherwise the markets, 10-year yield, USD, Gold, and the economy will head down their own divergent paths over the coming weeks and months ahead," said Ives.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

The White House is under pressure to finalize trade agreements with China as the markets and tech industry seek clarity.
The lack of progress could lead to economic downturns, affecting the 10-year yield, USD, and gold prices, Ives added. In particular, the Wedbush analyst believes that the tech sector is particularly vulnerable, with companies like Nvidia caught in the crossfire, he said.
As the U.S. and China engage in this high-stakes trade war, the focus is on which side will concede first.

Nvidia, which is among the leading companies in the artificial intelligence (AI) space, is seen as a strategic piece of the puzzle by the Trump administration to maintain the supremacy of the U.S. economy, Ives added.

The tech industry is bracing for a challenging earnings season, with minimal guidance expected from executives.
Why It Matters: The restrictions on Nvidia come when Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng has been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44883683/xi-jinpings-minister-urges-nvidia-us-firms-to-invest-more-in-china-during-meeting-with-jensen-huang-despite-chip-export-curbs">encouraging U.S. companies</a>, including Nvidia, to expand their investments in China. This duality highlights the complex nature of U.S.-China relations, where economic interests often clash with political strategies.
In a related development,&nbsp;billionaire investor Mark Cuban&nbsp;has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44890923/mark-cuban-sounds-alarm-over-impact-of-trumps-tariff-war-people-could-die">expressed concerns</a> over the potential human cost of the trade war, particularly in the pharmaceutical sector.

Tech Bull Says 'Time Ticking' For Trade Deals As Earnings Season Gathers Steam, Calls Nvidia's China Disclosure A Game Of Who Blinks First

Noted investment adviser&nbsp;Gary Black drew attention Sunday to the rising odds of a recession in 2025 due to President Donald Trump&#8217;s tariff measures.
What Happened:&nbsp;Black, managing partner at&nbsp;The Future Fund, highlighted the increasing likelihood of the U.S. slipping into recession this year on the decentralized betting platform, Polymarket.
&#8220;Trump's tariffs have pushed the&nbsp;odds of recession to 57%&nbsp;as consumers and businesses cut&nbsp;back, up from 20% at&nbsp;the beginning of 2025, according&nbsp;to Polymarket,&#8221; he wrote on X.
Indeed, odds on the Polygon (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">POL</a>)-based platform sharply rose this month, coinciding with the sweeping tariff measures announced on the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44613907/tariff-shock-incoming-as-trump-prepares-sweeping-trade-duties-what-traders-need-to-know">&#8220;Liberation Day&#8221;</a> and the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44831287/trump-administration-imposes-up-to-245-tariff-on-chinese-imports-amid-intensifying-trade-battle">escalating trade war</a> with China.

Over $3 million has been wagered on the outcome as of this writing. This market will resolve to "Yes" if the National Bureau of Economic Research declares a recession in the U.S. before January 1, 2026, or if the seasonally adjusted annualized percent change in quarterly U.S. real GDP is negative for two consecutive quarters.

On the other hand, the International Monetary Fund maintained a cautiously optimistic outlook. While acknowledging a rise in economic uncertainty due to trade tensions, the IMF has stated that its revised projections <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44889521/recession-not-so-fast-says-imf-even-after-trump-tariff-chaos">reflect a slowdown, but not a full-blown recession</a>.

Gary Black Shares Polymarket Data, Says Trump Tariffs Have Pushed Odds Of 2025 Recession To 57%

El Salvador&#8217;s president, Nayib Bukele, proposed a prisoner exchange with his Venezuelan counterpart, Nicolas Maduro, on Sunday, aiming to repatriate Venezuelan deportees from the U.S. in exchange for &#8220;political prisoners&#8221; held in the South American country.
What Happened: Bukele addressed Maduro, stating his willingness to repatriate 252 Venezuelan deportees. In return, he asked for the release of an equal number of political prisoners held in Venezuela. 
&#8220;Unlike you, who have political prisoners, we don&#8217;t have political prisoners,&#8221; Bukele said. &#8220;All the Venezuelans we have in custody were detained as part of an operation against gangs like the Tren de Aragua in the United States.&#8221;

Bukele also mentioned&nbsp;nearly 50 detained citizens of&nbsp;other nationalities, including Americans, Germans, and Dominicans, among others.
Venezuela&#8217;s Attorney General, Tarek William Saab, criticized Bukele&#8217;s proposal and accused El Salvador of &#8220;arbitrarily&#8221; detaining Venezuelans in a state of &#8220;enforced disappearance in a concentration camp,&#8221; according to Venezuela&#8217;s news network Globovisión. 
He also sought to know what offenses the detainees were charged with, if they had access to legal recourse, and if they had been permitted to speak to anybody since their detention.

Why It Matters: This proposal comes amid escalating tensions over the deportation of individuals accused of committing violent crimes by the Donald Trump administration. 
Notably, in response to requests from lawyers for the American Civil Liberties Union, the U.S. Supreme Court temporarily stopped the deportation of a group of Venezuelan migrants on Saturday, according to Reuters.
Trump has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44805346/trump-appreciates-nayib-bukele-for-taking-in-criminalsel-salvador-president-says-we-wont-return-maryland-man-mistakenly-deported-by-us">appreciated</a> Bukele for accepting custody of deportees whom the U.S. has alleged are gang members.
However, controversy erupted soon over&nbsp;Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland resident&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44779739/oops-hes-alive-and-secure-trump-administration-updates-status-on-mistaken-deportation-to-el-salvador" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">deported to El Salvador due to an &#8220;administrative error.&#8221;</a>&nbsp;The Supreme Court backed a lower court ruling for officials to assist in the return of Garcia

Nayib Bukele Proposes Swapping US-Deported Venezuelans With Nicolas Maduro's 'Political Prisoners'

The 2025 White House Easter Egg Roll will feature a variety of activities sponsored by Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), and YouTube, a subsidiary of Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google.
What Happened: According to a statement from First Lady Melania Trump's office, Amazon will sponsor a "reading nook," YouTube will organize a "bunny hop stage," and Meta will offer an "AI-powered experience and photo opportunity."
The event will also include traditional activities such as the egg roll and egg hunt, with eggs donated by American egg farmers.

Trump also shared his plans for the event on his Truth Social platform, writing, "Tomorrow morning is the BIG Easter Egg Hunt at the White House. 40,000 people expected. I'll be there! Gates open at 6:30 AM, close at 5:30 PM."

Why It&#8217;s Important: Mark Zuckerberg's Meta, Jeff Bezos' Amazon, and Sundar Pichai-led Google each donated $1 million to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/01/42898021/google-donates-1-million-to-trump-inauguration-plans-youtube-livestream-pleased-to-support">support Trump's inauguration</a>.
Trump has repeatedly said that his administration successfully lowered egg prices. However, data released earlier this month revealed that grocery store egg prices continued to rise in March, increasing by 5.9%, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/10/us/politics/egg-prices-march.html">reported</a> the New York Times.
Last year's celebration at the White House under former President Joe Biden was themed around education. It was led by former First Lady Jill Biden, a longtime educator, and included activities like a reading corner and a mock farm field trip.

China&#8217;s central bank continued to accumulate gold, adding 5 tonnes to its stash in March, marking its 5th consecutive monthly purchase.

It adds that gold now accounts for 6.5% of the nation&#8217;s official reserve assets, having purchased a &#8220;whopping&#8221; 50 tonnes of the yellow metal in February, more than 10 times what was officially reported, according to Goldman Sachs Group Inc.

According to the post, China has been accumulating gold at a rapid pace, with its purchases on the London OTC market significantly above officially reported numbers.
Why It Matters: Growing central bank demand has sent gold to record highs in recent weeks, and analysts at Bank of America Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>) continue to revise their targets upwards for the commodity, citing <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44569258/gold-market-rallies-amid-inflation-concerns-and-trade-uncertainty">trade war uncertainties</a> and a weaker U.S. Dollar.
Gold prices are also seeing momentum from growing ETF inflows, with global gold <a href="https://benzinga.com/25/04/44759336/gold-soars-beyond-3200-as-etfs-achieve-record-inflows-in-q1">ETFs adding $21 billion</a> in the first quarter of 2025, marking their second-highest quarterly inflow since the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, as investors pursue safe-haven assets amid global market turmoil.

What Happened: Bitcoin breached the $86,000 barrier to touch $87,000 for the first time in nearly three weeks. The apex cryptocurrency's breakout spurred a similar price action for Dogecoin.
Ethereum, on the other hand, failed to generate momentum, as the second-largest cryptocurrency remained in the $1,600 range.
Bitcoin's monthly gains reached nearly 3%, in stark contrast to ETH&#8217;s 13.26% drop.
The late evening rally pushed the 24-hour liquidations past $220 million, with over $140 million in short positions erased.
Bitcoin&#8217;s Open Interest rose marginally by 0.50% in the last 24 hours, indicating a surge in volatility and speculative demand.&nbsp;
The percentage of traders placing bullish long bets on Bitcoin surged to 55%, according to the Long/Short Ratio, indicating expectations of a sustained rally.
The market sentiment stayed in the &#8220;Fear&#8221; category, according to the Crypto Fear and Greed Index, although the magnitude dipped over the previous day.
Last week also saw some panic in the market after cryptocurrency trading behemoth Binance (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/bnb/usd">BNB</a>), along with other exchanges, faced withdrawal disruptions due to an Amazon Web Services outage on Tuesday, according to Reuters. The withdrawals resumed after around 23 minutes.

Bitcoin Crosses Key Barrier, Dogecoin Spikes, Ethereum Flat On Easter Sunday: Popular Influencer Says BTC Needs To Breach $88,804 For A Bullish Breakout

President Donald Trump's Easter messages on Sunday sparked backlash, as his posts on Truth Social attacked political rivals, and judges.
What Happened: Trump posted multiple Easter messages on his Truth Social platform. The first message, posted early in the morning, offered more typical Easter wishes.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/20214727/Screenshot-2025-04-21-at-7.17.18%E2%80%AFAM-1024x486.png" alt="" class="wp-image-878751" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Source: Truth Social</figcaption></figure>
However, just minutes later, he followed up with a second message targeting his political opponents, including former President Joe Biden and the &#8220;Radical Left Lunatics.&#8221;
He accused the former administration of enabling dangerous individuals to re-enter the U.S. and criticized judges and law enforcement officials for their alleged ongoing inaction.
Trump also reiterated <a href="http://benzinga.com/25/01/42980742/trump-off-hook-in-2020-election-case-special-counsel-smith-says-evidence-was-sufficient-to-obtain-and-sustain-a-conviction">false claims about the 2020 election</a>, calling Biden "America's WORST and most Incompetent President."

In another post, Trump also said he would make America &#8220;more religious.&#8221;
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/20214813/Screenshot-2025-04-21-at-7.17.58%E2%80%AFAM-1024x486.png" alt="" class="wp-image-878753" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Source: Truth Social</figcaption></figure>
Why It&#8217;s Important: Trump's message comes as he's pushing a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/25/04/44680699/alien-enemies-act-survives-court-challenge-trump-gains-green-light-for-swift-deportations">controversial immigration plan</a>.

Several people took to social media and expressed their dissatisfaction with the President's holiday message.&nbsp;
Adam Kinzinger, a former Illinois Republican Congressman, took to X, formerly Twitter, and mocked Trump's Easter message for not mentioning Jesus or forgiveness, the core themes of Easter.
<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">Dear Christians who think Trump is the savior, here is his inspiring Easter message or forgiveness and resurrection: <a href="https://t.co/yWPSopkPeR">pic.twitter.com/yWPSopkPeR</a>

</figure>
&#8220;How many times Trump mentions Jesus or resurrection: 0 How many times he says Lord: 1, (drug LORDs),&#8221; he wrote in another post.
An X account named Republicans Against Trump also took to the platform and said Trump's message was filled with anger, attacks, and false claims, not the spirit of Easter.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Latest On Pfizer</h2>
On Feb. 4, the company announced its Q4 2024 earnings, posting adjusted EPS of $0.63, beating the consensus estimate of $0.47, as reported by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/02/43463168/pfizer-q4-earnings-revenue-and-eps-beat-seagen-and-covid-19-products-show-strength-issues-strong-fy25-outlook">Benzinga</a>.
The U.S. drugmaker reported sales of $17.76 billion, up 22% year-over-year, and above the consensus of $17.40 billion.
Pfizer reaffirmed its full-year 2025 revenue guidance of $61 billion to $64 billion, compared to the consensus estimate of $63.025 billion. The company anticipates adjusted EPS in the range of $2.80 to $3.00, compared to the consensus of $2.94.
Trending: It&#8217;s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $250 million in art — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">this alternative asset has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 since 1995, delivering an average annual return of 11.4%. Here&#8217;s how everyday investors are getting started.</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How Can You Earn $100 Per Month As A Pfizer Investor?</h2>
If you want to make $100 per month — $1,200 annually — from Pfizer dividends, your investment value needs to be approximately $15,666, which is around 698 shares at $22.44 each.&nbsp;
Understanding the dividend yield calculations: When making an estimate, you need two key variables — the desired annual income ($1,200) and the dividend yield (7.66% in this case). So, $1,200 / 0.0766 = $15,666 to generate an income of $100 per month.
You can calculate the dividend yield by dividing the annual dividend payments by the current price of the stock.
The dividend yield can change over time. This is the outcome of fluctuating stock prices and dividend payments on a rolling basis.
See Also: Hasbro, MGM, and Skechers trust this AI marketing firm — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/rad-intel">invest pre-IPO from $0.60 per share now</a>.
For instance, assume a stock that pays $2 as an annual dividend is priced at $50. Its dividend yield would be $2/$50 = 4%. If the stock price rises to $60, the dividend yield drops to 3.33% ($2/$60). A drop in stock price to $40 will have an inverse effect and increase the dividend yield to 5% ($2/$40).
In summary, income-focused investors may find Pfizer stock an attractive option for making a steady income of $100 per month by owning 698 shares of stock. There may be more upside to come as investors benefit from the company's consistent dividend hikes. Pfizer has raised its dividend consecutively for the last 14 years.&nbsp;

Ives stated, &#8220;Musk needs to leave the govt, take a step back on DOGE, and get back to being CEO of Tesla full-time in our view.&#8221; This comment comes amid growing concerns about Musk&#8217;s attention being diverted from Tesla to his role in the Department of Government Efficiency under President Donald Trump.

Reports have indicated that Musk&#8217;s focus on DOGE has frustrated investors, as they believe it detracts from his responsibilities at Tesla. Recent discussions suggest that Musk&#8217;s role in the government might soon conclude, potentially allowing him to dedicate more time to Tesla.

Why It Matters: Ives&#8217; remarks come at a critical time for Tesla, as the company prepares for a significant first-quarter earnings call on Tuesday after market close.
Tesla&#8217;s stock has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/44863730/tesla-stock-eyes-breakout-with-earnings-on-deck">shown resilience</a>, closing around $241 on Thursday, and analysts are closely watching for potential breakout signals. Even so, Tesla shares have fallen over 36% since the year began.
The company&#8217;s recent delivery numbers were disappointing, leading to concerns about its future performance. Ives, a prominent analyst, has reiterated an Outperform rating on Tesla, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44346423/teslas-biggest-bull-frustrated-with-elon-musks-focus-on-doge-over-company-patience-wearing-thin">emphasizing the need</a> for Musk to address the brand crisis. Wedbush has a $550 price target for Tesla.
Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings indicate Tesla has a Momentum of 92.5 and Growth of 67.70.

Elon Musk 'Needs To Leave' The Government And Get Back To Being CEO Of Tesla, Says Dan Ives Ahead Of Q1 Earnings

Editor&#8217;s note: The headline has been revised for grammatical accuracy.
DHL&nbsp;has temporarily halted&nbsp;business-to-consumer shipments to the&nbsp;United States&nbsp;with a customs value exceeding&nbsp;$800. This suspension, effective Monday, April 21, 2025, is a response to recent changes in U.S. Customs regulations.
What Happened: DHL&#8217;s decision comes in the wake of updated U.S. Customs regulations that have caused considerable transit delays for shipments valued over $800, said the global logistics company in an update on its website. 
These changes affect shipments originating from any location and apply solely to B2C&nbsp;shipments to private individuals in&nbsp;the U.S.&nbsp;Business-to-business shipments to U.S.&nbsp;companies&nbsp;are not affected by the&nbsp;suspension, although they may also face&nbsp;delays.
As of April 5, 2025, all&nbsp;shipments to the U.S. with&nbsp;a declared customs value exceeding&nbsp;$800 now require formal entry processing, a reduction from the previous $2,500 threshold. This adjustment has led to&nbsp;a surge in formal customs&nbsp;clearances, which DHL is actively managing. Despite efforts to scale operations, shipments over $800 may still experience multi-day delays.
DHL said it is working diligently to address these challenges and will provide&nbsp;updates as the situation evolves.&nbsp;The temporary suspension is a measure to manage the increased demand for formal customs processing.

Why It Matters: Recently, the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44830828/us-is-unreasonable-bullying-and-imposing-tariffs-abusively-says-hong-kong-post-operator">Hong Kong Post</a>&nbsp;announced a suspension of sea mail services to the U.S., citing &#8220;bullying&#8221; tariffs imposed by the United States.
The&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44831287/trump-administration-imposes-up-to-245-tariff-on-chinese-imports-amid-intensifying-trade-battle">Trump administration</a>&nbsp;recently increased tariffs on Chinese imports by up to 245%, intensifying the trade battle between the two nations. This has led to concerns about potential economic repercussions.
Furthermore,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/management/25/04/44871428/blackstone-president-warns-of-recession-risk-tied-to-trumps-tariffs">Jonathan Gray</a>, president of Blackstone Inc., warned that the ongoing uncertainty surrounding Trump&#8217;s tariff policies could heighten the risk of a recession. The longer these global tariff uncertainties persist, the greater the potential for market disruption and unintended consequences throughout the financial system.
