In the wake of President Donald Trump&#8216;s disclosure of U.S. airstrikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) has called on Americans to pray for protection from potential terrorist attacks.
What Happened: In a post on X, she urged Americans to &#8220;unite&nbsp;and pray for the safety&nbsp;of our U.S. troops and&nbsp;Americans in the Middle East.&#8221; Greene also called for prayers for the U.S. to avoid terrorist attacks, citing the open border over the past four years and the entry of over 2 million &#8220;gotaways.&#8221;

The President&#8217;s announcement, made&nbsp;at 7:50 pm on Saturday, detailed the successful strikes on three Iranian nuclear sites, namely Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. He applauded &#8220;our great American Warriors&#8221; and expressed hopes for peace.
Greene, a staunch Trump ally, has been an outspoken critic of U.S. involvement in the Israel-Iran conflict. She has consistently voted against pro-Israel bills in the House and has publicly voiced her dissatisfaction with the hawkish faction of the GOP.
Als<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46043305/donald-trump-announces-spectacular-military-success-as-us-strikes-key-iranian-nuclear-sites">o Read: Donald Trump Announces &#8216;Spectacular Military Success&#8217; As US Strikes Key Iranian Nuclear Sites</a>
Greene had earlier campaigned against foreign wars and expressed her disapproval of bombing foreign nations on behalf of others, particularly those possessing&nbsp;their own nuclear weapons and&nbsp;significant military power.
Why It Matters: Greene&#8217;s response to Trump&#8217;s announcement underscores her long-standing stance against U.S. intervention in foreign conflicts. Her call for prayers highlights the potential risks associated with such military actions, including the threat of retaliatory terrorist attacks. 
Her reference to the open border and the entry of &#8220;gotaways&#8221; suggests a link between immigration policy and national security, a contentious issue that continues to divide lawmakers. 
The response also reflects the ongoing debate within the GOP about the U.S.&#8217;s role in international conflicts, particularly in the Middle East.

Marjorie Taylor Greene's Response To Trump Bombing Iran: 'Let Us Pray That We Are Not Attacked By Terrorists On Our Homeland'

Billionaire and Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk argued in March that if a commercial company operated like the U.S. federal government, it &#8220;would go immediately bankrupt.&#8221; But economist and former U.S. Labor Secretary Robert Reich says that&#8217;s exactly the point—the government isn&#8217;t a business and shouldn&#8217;t be run like one.

&#8220;Let me make it clear. Government should <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45338281/trump-has-a-proven-track-record-of-being-an-absolute-failure-says-gov-tim-walz-we-dont-need-to-run-government-like-a-business">not be run like a business</a>,&#8221; Reich said in a recent YouTube <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqn1uD_B70U">video</a>. While he agrees that no one wants their tax dollars wasted and supports cutting government waste, he warned that it must be done carefully — &#8220;with a scalpel, not a chainsaw.&#8221;
Reich explained that businesses are focused on profit. &#8220;Corporations like McDonald&#8217;s and Walmart, they don&#8217;t exist for the public good. They exist to maximize their shareholder returns,&#8221; he said. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45184462/yeah-no-its-low-wages-a-worker-responds-to-whether-the-skilled-labor-shortage-is-just-because-everyone-was-told-to-go-to-college">That often means low wages</a> and minimal benefits for workers, many of whom rely on taxpayer-funded programs like food stamps and Medicaid to make ends meet.
&#8220;Do you know what it means when somebody pays you minimum wage? It&#8217;s like, &#8216;Hey, if I could pay you less, I would,'&#8221; Reich said, reflecting on his time working at McDonald&#8217;s.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Profit Can&#8217;t Be The Measure Of Public Value</h2>
The goal of government, Reich argued, is to &#8220;make life better for the people.&#8221; He pointed to the very first sentence of the U.S. Constitution, which says the government should &#8220;promote the general welfare.&#8221;
That mission doesn&#8217;t generate profits, and that&#8217;s okay. &#8220;Making a profit is not the point of government,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Should we <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/futures/17/05/9505887/winners-and-losers-from-trumps-4-trillion-budget-proposal">gut health care services</a> for our veterans because it&#8217;s not profitable?

Reich listed services like schools, highways, libraries, national parks, and mail delivery as examples of public goods that benefit everyone, and aren&#8217;t supposed to turn a profit.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Real Meaning Behind &#8216;Run It Like a Business&#8217;</h2>
According to Reich, when politicians say they want to run the government like a business, what they often mean is they want to privatize services to benefit corporate interests. &#8220;Wall Street would love to have its hands on your Social Security,&#8221; he said. &#8220;The Trump Organization would love to turn Yellowstone National Park into a private resort for only the wealthiest to enjoy.&#8221;
Reich added that President Donald Trump is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/10/41390158/in-a-brutal-takedown-joe-biden-mocks-trump-bankrupting-a-casino-how-is-that-possible-i-thought-the-h">hardly a model</a> for business success, saying, &#8220;Trump sucks at running businesses anyway. I can make a whole video about Trump&#8217;s many, many business failures. And I have.&#8221;
&#8220;It's not about &#8216;efficiency&#8217; or because these public goods &#8216;cost too much.&#8217; That&#8217;s rubbish,&#8221; he added. &#8220;Private corporations want to profit at your expense.&#8221;
Reich concluded by emphasizing that U.S. citizens are not customers and politicians are not CEOs. &#8220;They are supposed to be public servants. They are supposed to be working for us,&#8221; he said. &#8220;The purpose of government is not to show a profit. It's to achieve the common good.&#8221;

AppLovin, First Solar And Li Auto Are Among Top 10 Large Cap Losers Last Week (June 16-20): Are The Others In Your Portfolio?

Before he became the richest man in the world, Elon Musk set out to prove something to himself—that if all his bold ideas failed, he could still survive in America. Literally.
In a 2015 interview with astrophysicist <a href="https://startalkmedia.com/show/the-future-of-humanity-with-elon-musk/">Neil deGrasse Tyson on StarTalk Radio</a>, Musk reflected on his early mindset, revealing just how far he went to test his personal threshold for survival. At the time, he had already founded Tesla and SpaceX, but the conversation turned to a much earlier phase in his life—just after college, when he first arrived in the U.S.
"In America, it's pretty easy to keep yourself alive," Musk told Tyson. "So my threshold for existing is pretty low. I figure I could be in some dingy apartment with my computer and be okay and not starve."

</ul>
So that's exactly what he tested. Musk challenged himself to live on just $1 a day for food. His grocery list? Hot dogs, oranges, pasta, and bulk green peppers with a big jar of sauce.
"You get really tired of hot dogs and oranges after a while," he admitted, laughing. "And of course pasta and a green pepper and a big thing of sauce. That can go pretty far, too."
He wasn't trying to impress anyone—he just wanted to prove that even if every business venture failed, he wouldn't. "If I can live for a dollar a day, then at least from a food cost standpoint, well it's pretty easy to earn like $30 in a month anyway, so I'll probably be okay."
Musk immigrated to the U.S. from South Africa in the mid-1990s, during his early twenties. By 1995, after earning degrees in physics and economics from the University of Pennsylvania, he co-founded his first startup, Zip2. Back then, money was so tight that he and his brother Kimbal slept in the office and showered at the local YMCA.

At the time, a dollar stretched further. In the mid-90s, the average cost of a loaf of bread was under $1, and hot dogs ran about $1.29 per pound. By comparison, the average cost of hot dogs today has soared to over $5.22 per pound. Inflation has made Musk's once-thrifty diet virtually impossible to replicate. Even pasta—once a budget staple—is now often $1.50 to $2 a box, and fresh produce prices have more than doubled since his college days.
Now, decades later, he controls some of the most valuable companies in the world and has an <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">estimated net worth topping $340 billion</a>, according to Forbes and Bloomberg. But that extreme frugality never really left him.&nbsp;
Musk has said he doesn't own a yacht or even a home, doesn't take vacations, and considers his private jet—used for work—his largest personal expense. "It would be very problematic if I was spending billions of dollars a year in personal consumption," he said in a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/live/cdZZpaB2kDM?si=qTBimIpxJtYaJxm9">2022 TED interview with Chris Anderson</a>. He added, "but that is not the case."

Today, spending just $1 a day on food in America seems laughable, especially with inflation and rising grocery prices. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, <a href="https://www.fns.usda.gov/research/cnpp/usda-food-plans">the average cost of food per person per month in 2024</a> was over $300—even on a thrifty plan.
And for context: a $1 daily food budget in today's economy breaks down to 33 cents per meal—less than a single egg, a slice of bread, or even half a banana in most U.S. cities. For millions of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43748849/food-prices-are-expected-to-keep-rising-in-2025-ramsey-solutions-explains-why-grocery-prices-are-so-high-offers-tips-for-saving">Americans now facing food insecurity,</a> that number isn't just unrealistic—it's unthinkable.
Still, Musk's point wasn't about inflation or cuisine—it was about fear. Or rather, the absence of it. He believed that if he could handle having nothing, he could risk everything. That mindset helped him bet big on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/25/05/45480331/elon-musk-says-earth-only-has-10-of-its-life-left-before-its-incinerated-by-the-sun-calls-colonizing-mars-humanitys-life-insurance-polic">rockets, electric cars, solar panels</a>—and win.
So yes, Musk once lived off hot dogs and oranges. Not because he had to. Because he needed to know he could.

Elon Musk Said 'In America, It's Pretty Easy To Keep Yourself Alive' — So He Challenged Himself To Live On $1 A Day, Eating Hot Dogs And Oranges

Top business figures such as Bill Ackman and Jason Calacanis have publicly shared their views on the &#8220;massive precision&#8221; airstrikes carried out by the U.S. military on three Iranian nuclear sites.
What Happened: These strikes mark a major escalation in the ongoing international conflict involving Iran and Israel, with the US now playing a new role.
Bill Ackman, a billionaire hedge fund manager,&nbsp;was among the first to&nbsp;commend the military operation. He expressed his gratitude to the US military for its &#8220;superb execution on ridding Iran&nbsp;of its nuclear threat.&#8221;

Serial entrepreneur&nbsp;Jason Calacanis&nbsp;highlighted that the US is now involved in three conflicts, five months into Trump&#8217;s term. He refrained from passing judgment, stating that the public lacks the intelligence that leaders possess.

Spencer Hakimian, the founder of Tolou Capital Management, characterized&nbsp;the US military operation as&nbsp;&#8220;completely undetectable,&#8221; and warned of potential economic havoc if Iran were&nbsp;to close the Strait of&nbsp;Hormuz.

Other business leaders, including&nbsp;Maguire&nbsp;of Sequoia Capital,&nbsp;Fishback&nbsp;of Azoria investment firm, and&nbsp;Scholl&nbsp;of Boom Supersonic, also voiced their opinions, with sentiments ranging from praise for Trump to relief over the neutralization of Iran&#8217;s nuclear capabilities.
Why It Matters: The varying reactions from business leaders underscore the complexity and far-reaching implications of the US&#8217;s military actions. 
While some praised the operation for neutralizing a potential nuclear threat, others expressed concern about the escalation of international conflict and potential economic repercussions. 
The situation continues to evolve, and the global business community will be closely monitoring the developments.

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) strengthens its position in the AI hardware market, the company is quietly paying tribute to some of history's most influential scientists by naming its powerful chip architectures after women whose groundbreaking work laid the foundation for modern computing and science.
Ada Lovelace: The First Computer Programmer
Nvidia's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/22/09/28952554/nvidia-makes-a-quantum-leap-at-gtc-2022-ada-lovelace-rtx-gpus-omniverse-cloud-drive-thor">Ada architecture</a>, used in gaming graphics and AI processing, is named after Ada Lovelace, a 19th-century British mathematician. Often credited as the world's first computer programmer, Lovelace theorized that machines could go beyond calculations to manipulate symbols, music, and images—an idea that foreshadowed modern computing.
In 1979, the U.S. Department of Defense named a programming language "Ada" in her honor.
Grace Hopper: The Mother Of Modern Programming
The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45855980/nvidias-grace-hopper-platform-powers-europes-fastest-ai-supercomputer">company's Hopper architecture</a> recognizes Grace Hopper, a U.S. Navy rear admiral and computer science pioneer. During World War II, Hopper worked on the Mark I, one of the earliest general-purpose computers. She played a critical role in the development of automatic programming and helped lay the groundwork for programming languages like COBOL.
Hopper, who passed away in 1992, is remembered as a visionary who helped bridge military computing and modern software development.

Vera Rubin: Illuminating The Universe's Mysteries
Nvidia's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45689336/dell-nvidia-to-build-next-gen-supercomputer-for-us-energy-department">Rubin architecture honors</a> Vera Rubin, the astronomer who provided some of the first observational evidence for dark matter. In the 1970s, after studying more than 60 galaxies with colleague Kent Ford, Rubin's work helped reshape astrophysics.
She became the first woman scientist on staff at the Carnegie Institution's Department of Terrestrial Magnetism in 1965. Rubin passed away in 2016.
Why It's Important: Nvidia currently has a market cap of $3.5 trillion, making it the second most valuable company in the world.
In May, Nvidia reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45657660/nvidia-q1-highlights-china-export-ban-hits-results-but-jensen-huang-says-demand-incredibly-strong">first-quarter revenue</a> of $44.1 billion, marking a 69% increase year-over-year and a 12% rise from the previous quarter. The figure surpassed the Street consensus estimate of $43.2 billion.
Price Action: Nvidia shares have climbed 5.18% year-to-date and gained 11.24% over the past year. On Wednesday, the stock rose 0.94%, closing at $145.48, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Benzinga's Edge Stock Rankings highlight steady upward momentum for Nvidia across short, medium and long-term periods. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound'">More detailed performance insights can be found here</a>.

Jensen Huang-Led Nvidia Honors Pioneering Women In Science With AI Chip Names: Here's The Legacy Behind Ada, Hopper And Rubin Architectures

It's good for people to look for additional ways to boost their income. Increasing your earnings gives you more flexibility and can help you retire sooner.&nbsp;
One burned-out denturist who earns $300,000 per year and owes $1 million on a mortgage is looking to <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/HENRYfinance/comments/1ldyi4j/am_i_naive_for_considering_acquiring_a_business/">acquire a business</a> that has more than $500,000 in annual profits. While this move can boost the denturist's income, Redditors offered plenty of warnings against business acquisition.
"Even if you think you understand all the risks, you probably don't," one commenter said.

</ul>
Commenters offered a few suggestions for the denturist to deal with burnout and look for opportunities to earn more money.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Identify The Cause Of Your Burnout</h2>
One of the top comments came from a Redditor who suggested figuring out the cause of your burnout before jumping into any new ventures. Starting or acquiring a business requires a lot of work, and it's probably the last remedy that you'd consider for solving burnout.
The commenter suggested that travel could be the cause of burnout and encouraged the denturist to look for a similar role that "reduces travel while maintaining similar benefits."
The commenter mentioned that they were burned out and switched jobs to solve the issue. Working for a more stable company with better management support may be worth it, even if you have to take a small pay cut.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">You Can Lose A Lot Of Money If The Acquisition Doesn't Go Well</h2>
While one commenter advised the Redditor to identify why they feel burned out, most commenters warned about some of the downsides of acquiring a business. They emphasized how things don't always go smoothly, and a company that is delivering solid profits right now may not do so well in a few years.
Companies that earn $500,000 in annual profits usually reach that milestone because of an effective leader. Acquiring a business may mean losing that leader, and if you don't know how to run a business, your investment can quickly turn sour.
Good business leaders see their companies fall apart due to factors out of their control, and it's even worse for people who are just getting started. One commenter also mentioned that it won't be $500,000 in annual profit since a large portion of those earnings will have to go toward monthly payments toward the loan used to finance the acquisition.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Start A Business In An Industry That You Know</h2>
The denturist specifically wanted to acquire a business in an industry that they didn't know very well. That makes an uphill battle even more challenging, and one commenter came up with a solution.
Instead of acquiring a business in a field that you don't know, the denturist can start a denturist business. The original poster said that they have their own clinic and haven&#8217;t put much cash into it. However, the higher income gives the denturist more flexibility with funding the clinic, and that seems to be the new route.
The denturist may have continued to neglect this opportunity if a commenter didn't offer the suggestion. It demonstrates the value of starting a business in your industry instead of acquiring a business in an industry where you have zero experience.

Tesla's Robotaxi, Boeing's Safety Concerns And Ford's Massive Recall: This Week In Mobility

When Jeff Bezos puts money behind something, people pay attention. The founder of Amazon doesn't just throw cash at random trends—he invests with a long-term vision and a clear eye for disruption. That's why it raised eyebrows when Bezos backed Arrived Homes, a real estate platform that lets everyday people invest in rental properties with as little as $100. If one of the wealthiest people on earth is betting on single-family rentals, it's worth asking: what does he see that the rest of us might be missing?
The answer has everything to do with how real estate is changing—and how platforms like Arrived are opening the doors to a type of investing that was once reserved for the ultra-wealthy. If you've ever thought about owning rental property but didn't want the landlord life (or the six-figure price tag), this is how you get in—alongside the same platform backed by Bezos himself.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Rental Housing Boom, Explained</h2>
Let's start with the big picture. The U.S. is in the middle of a long-term shift toward renting. Home prices have soared, mortgage rates remain high, and affordability continues to push millions of Americans out of the buyer's market and into long-term rentals. But here's the twist: even as more people rent, the demand for quality, single-family homes—not apartments—is exploding.
That demand means steady rent checks, low vacancy in the right markets, and rising long-term value for well-positioned homes. It's no wonder institutional investors, hedge funds, and billionaires like Bezos are buying into the space. But until recently, everyday investors were locked out. You either needed to buy a full home yourself (and become a landlord), or sit on the sidelines and watch others collect the income.
Now, that's changing—and fast.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Platform Jeff Bezos Backed</h2>
Arrived Homes is one of the first platforms to let non-accredited investors co-own shares of rental homes across the U.S. When you invest, you&#8217;re buying into real, income-generating single-family properties—many of them located in fast-growing, high-demand markets like Phoenix, Memphis, and Salt Lake City.
Bezos invested through his personal fund, Bezos Expeditions, during an early funding round. Other high-profile backers include former Zillow CEO Spencer Rascoff and Uber executives. Their involvement isn't just hype—it signals a major vote of confidence in a new model of real estate investing that prioritizes accessibility, diversification, and passive income.
With Arrived, you don't need to qualify for a mortgage, deal with tenants, or shell out a down payment. You simply choose a home, decide how much to invest, and start earning your share of rental income—plus any potential appreciation if the property goes up in value.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why This Model Works (Even If You're Not a Billionaire)</h2>
What makes Arrived so disruptive isn't just that it lowers the barrier to entry—it's that it flips the script entirely. You're no longer stuck choosing between buying a house (and managing it) or not investing at all. Now, you can start with whatever amount you're comfortable with, spread your capital across multiple homes and cities, and earn income while someone else handles the operations.
Think about it like this:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Jeff Bezos can buy an entire portfolio of homes and hire a team to manage them.</li>
<li>You can buy fractional shares of that same kind of portfolio—and let Arrived manage them for you.</li>
</ul>
You get all the upside—rental income, diversification, appreciation potential—without having to do the work. For busy professionals, renters, or anyone building long-term wealth, that's a powerful model.
Take Action:

<li>Put your money to work for you: In terms of getting money back, <a href="https://www.gobankingrates.com/best-banks-c/">these bank accounts put traditional checking and savings accounts to shame</a>.</li>
<li>Warren Buffett once said, "If you don't find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die."<a href="https://arrivedhomes.go2cloud.org/aff_c?offer_id=15&amp;aff_id=1006&amp;aff_sub=yahoo&amp;aff_sub2=jeffbezos100"> Here&#8217;s how you can earn passive income with just $100.</a></li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How to Start Investing Alongside the Pros</h2>
You don't need a private fund or millions in capital to follow the Bezos playbook. You just need a strategy—and consistency. With Arrived, you can start with as little as $100 per property. From there, you can invest monthly, diversify across states and home types, and build a portfolio that grows with you.
Every property listing on Arrived includes full financial breakdowns, target returns, and market analysis. Whether you're looking for high cash flow, long-term appreciation, or a mix of both, the platform lets you align your investments with your goals—without having to be a real estate expert.
And if you're wondering how it all works behind the scenes? Arrived sources properties, conducts due diligence, manages tenants, and distributes rental income every quarter. You stay informed, but you never have to do the heavy lifting.

Why Jeff Bezos Is Betting on Rental Homes — And How You Can Too

China has reportedly trialed a domestically developed operating system aboard a small satellite, a move aimed at reducing dependence on foreign <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">software in space-based applications</a>.
Researchers used the OpenHarmony real-time operating system (RTOS)—a streamlined version of Huawei Technologies&#8217; HarmonyOS—onboard the Dalian-1 Lianli CubeSat during more than 1,000 hours of in-orbit experimentation, <a href="https://www.scmp.com/news/china/science/article/3314994/spurred-us-sanctions-china-adapts-huaweis-harmonyos-microsatellites" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a> the South China Morning Post.
The test showed marked improvements in speed and stability for microsatellite operations.

Yu Xiaozhou, a professor at the Dalian University of Technology and lead author of the study, stated that the mission demonstrated notable gains in system responsiveness and reliability thanks to the home-grown software platform, the report adds.
OpenHarmony replaced traditional firmware and foreign operating systems commonly used in Chinese microsatellites.
The satellite, released from the Tiangong space station, also ran on a chip manufactured in China, creating what researchers called a fully indigenous software-hardware solution.
The technology enabled subsystems like the magnetometer, sun sensor, and orientation unit to operate with microsecond-level responsiveness while consistently delivering high-frequency data updates, the report further adds.
Beyond its performance, the system endured extended pre-deployment conditions, including 253 days in external storage outside the space station.
Once activated, it produced sub-meter resolution images of Earth—capabilities that could aid regional planning efforts in coastal areas such as Dalian.
The software milestone stems from China&#8217;s broader effort to wean itself off foreign tech, a push accelerated after Huawei Technologies was added to the U.S. trade blacklist in 2019.
The ban restricted access to American tech tools and catalyzed initiatives like OpenHarmony, which is now overseen by the OpenAtom Foundation and applied across sectors, including embedded systems and aerospace.
Previously, Chinese satellites had relied on open-source foreign software such as FreeRTOS, which posed limitations under export restrictions.
The latest mission marks a significant step toward technical independence in China&#8217;s satellite development roadmap.

AST SpaceMobile And Coinbase Global Are Among Top 10 Large Cap Gainers Last Week (June 16-20): Are The Others In Your Portfolio?

The past week in tech has been nothing short of exciting, with major companies making bold moves and industry leaders voicing their opinions. From Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) battling with OpenAI for top talent, to YouTube&#8217;s upcoming integration of advanced AI video tools, the landscape is rapidly evolving. Meanwhile, Elon Musk has been vocal about the inflated valuations of AI startups, and Amazon&#8217;s CEO has touted the transformative potential of Generative AI. Here&#8217;s a recap of the top stories.
Meta&#8217;s Battle with OpenAI for Talent Meta&#8217;s billion-dollar hiring spree in AI has hit a snag, according to CTO Andrew Bosworth.

Meta's Battle With OpenAI, Youtube Innovations, And Billion-Dollar Unicorns: This Week In AI

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is set to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin in the wake of Saturday&#8217;s U.S. airstrikes against Iran.
What Happened: The strikes, which Iran claims have disrupted diplomatic efforts regarding its nuclear program, have heightened tensions between the U.S. and Iran.
As reported by The Times of Israel, the meeting in Moscow is scheduled for Sunday. This comes after President Donald Trump announced that the strikes had &#8220;totally obliterated&#8221; Iran&#8217;s key nuclear facilities. Iran quickly condemned the US action, accusing it of sabotaging ongoing negotiations for a potential deal.
In retaliation for the U.S. strikes, Iran launched two rounds of attacks against Israel, its long-standing regional rival. Trump&#8217;s intervention threatens to escalate the conflict, particularly in light of Israel&#8217;s unprecedented bombing campaign on Iran last week.
Araghchi accused the U.S. of undermining diplomacy after talks with European powers. He later stated that the U.S. and Israel had &#8220;crossed a very big red line,&#8221; asserting Iran&#8217;s commitment to defend itself &#8220;by all means necessary.&#8221;
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46042298/trump-publicly-contradicts-dni-gabbards-claim-that-iran-lacks-nuclear-capabilities-shes-wrong">Trump Publicly Contradicts DNI Gabbard&#8217;s Claim That Iran Lacks Nuclear Capabilities: &#8216;She&#8217;s Wrong&#8217;</a>
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lauded the U.S. strikes, stating that Trump&#8217;s decision to &#8220;target Iran&#8217;s nuclear facilities with the awesome and righteous might of the United States will change history.&#8221;
Why It Matters: The escalating tensions between Iran and the US have the potential to destabilize the region further. 
The upcoming meeting between the Iranian Foreign Minister and Russian President Putin could be a pivotal moment in the ongoing conflict. 
The outcome of this meeting could influence the future course of Iran&#8217;s nuclear program and its relations with the US and Israel. The international community will be watching closely as these events unfold.

US Vs Iran: Iran's Foreign Minister Heads To Moscow, Accuses US of Derailing Nuclear Talks

Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and her husband, venture capitalist Paul Pelosi, experienced a significant increase in their net worth in 2024.
What Happened: The Pelosis&#8217; net worth could now be as high as $413 million, up from a possible $370 million in 2023. The exact figure is unknown as lawmakers are only required to disclose ranges.
Market research firm&nbsp;Quiver Quantitative&nbsp;estimated the couple&#8217;s&nbsp;2024 worth at $257 million, a $26 million increase from the previous year. However, the value of their diverse ventures, including a Napa Valley winery&nbsp;and a stake in a&nbsp;Bay area Italian restaurant, could push Pelosi&#8217;s worth much higher.
As per the report <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/06/21/us-news/pelosi-added-millions-to-net-worth-last-year-report/">by</a> the New York Post, a substantial portion of their wealth comes from a significant stock portfolio and well-timed trades, primarily in Paul Pelosi&#8217;s name.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/01/30615682/elon-musk-apologizes-for-tweeting-conspiracy-theory-about-attack-on-nancy-pelosis-husband">Elon Musk Apologizes For Tweeting Conspiracy Theory About Attack On Nancy Pelosi&#8217;s Husband</a>
Notably, the couple sold 5,000 shares of&nbsp;Microsoft Corp.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>)&nbsp;worth an estimated $2.2 million&nbsp;shortly before the Federal Trade Commission&nbsp;announced an antitrust investigation into&nbsp;the tech giant.
Despite some setbacks, their investment portfolio yielded&nbsp;an estimated 54% return in&nbsp;2024, outperforming the S&amp;P 500&#8217;s 25% gain and surpassing&nbsp;every large hedge fund, according&nbsp;to Bloomberg&#8217;s end-of-year tally.
Why It Matters: The financial success of the Pelosi couple comes at a time when there are increasing calls to prohibit Congress members from trading individual stocks. Critics argue that&nbsp;lawmakers have access to market-moving&nbsp;information before the public. 
Pelosi has previously rejected these calls, but recently softened her stance. This change in attitude could potentially impact future trading activities of lawmakers, and possibly even their net worth.

Nancy Pelosi's Portfolio Crushed Wall Street Hedge Funds With Jaw-Dropping Returns Last Year

In an era of inflation shocks, shifting alliances, and economic volatility, one thing hasn't changed: central banks are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-gold-trading-strategies">doubling down on gold</a>. While investors may debate crypto, equities, or cash, the institutions managing national reserves are quietly — and consistently — boosting their gold holdings. And they're doing it in record amounts.
The latest Central Bank Gold Reserves <a href="https://www.gold.org/goldhub/research/central-bank-gold-reserves-survey-2025">survey</a> from the World Gold Council offers fresh insights into why this centuries-old asset remains so essential in modern reserve strategy. The message is clear: gold isn't just a relic — it's a key tool for navigating global uncertainty.
The takeaway? Confidence in gold is strong. Nearly all respondents (95%) believe global gold reserves will increase over the next year, and 43% say they personally plan to add more to their own reserves. None reported plans to decrease their holdings.
Why the continued interest? It comes down to a few key factors: gold tends to perform well during periods of crisis, it provides portfolio diversification, and it holds long-term value — something that matters when inflation or geopolitical risk are on the rise.
The survey also shows changing views around currency reserves. A majority (73%) of central banks think <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/us-dollar">the U.S. dollar</a>'s share of global reserves will shrink over the next five years, while assets like the euro, Chinese renminbi, and gold are expected to gain ground.
More central banks are also actively managing their gold, with 44% now doing so — up from 37% last year. Risk management and return optimization were cited as the top reasons. And while the Bank of England remains the most popular place to store gold, more banks are bringing their reserves closer to home — 59% now store at least some gold domestically.
Bottom line: in a world of uncertainty, gold remains a trusted asset for central banks — and their continued buying signals long-term confidence in its role as a stabilizer in turbulent times.

Why Are Central Banks Still Stockpiling Gold?

Thousands of Afghan nationals residing in the United States may soon be deported as the Trump administration moves to revoke their temporary protected status, triggering widespread fear within <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the refugee community.</a>
The Guardian reports that the policy shift removes Afghanistan from the TPS list, a classification that previously shielded Afghans from deportation and allowed them to work legally in the U.S.
This reversal has placed many at immediate risk, even those who supported American forces during the 20-year war.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44209655/the-heart-breaking-story-of-afghan-women-facing-deportation-after-trumps-usaid-aid-cuts" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Heart-Breaking Story Of Afghan Women Facing Deportation After Trump&#8217;s USAID Aid Cuts</a>
Shir Agha Safi, who leads the non-profit Afghan Partners in Des Moines, Iowa, said community members are gripped by anxiety, drawing parallels with the recent deportations of Venezuelan migrants.
Safi said, &#8220;They would choose suicide over being tortured and killed by the Taliban,&#8221; the report adds.
The Department of Homeland Security, now under the leadership of Kristi Noem, has justified the change by claiming that Afghanistan&#8217;s security has improved.
A DHS statement cited a decrease in kidnappings and a rise in tourism as signs of stability.
However, critics point to the same report DHS references, which also highlights deteriorating civil conditions, suppression of legal systems, and widespread fear under Taliban rule.
The State Department continues to advise U.S. citizens against travel to Afghanistan, labeling it a high-risk zone due to threats of violence, terrorism, and arbitrary detentions, The Guardian adds.
Despite these warnings, DHS insists the country is safe enough to accept returning nationals.
Afghans initially gained TPS under the Biden administration in 2022 following the Taliban&#8217;s return to power.
Their status was already precarious before Trump&#8217;s re-election, but the new directive threatens to dismantle legal protections for thousands. Immigration advocates say the move could devastate families who have spent years integrating into American society.

Better Dead Than Back To Taliban: Afghan Refugees Fear Forced Return Under Trump

On Saturday night President Donald Trump declared successful strikes on three crucial Iranian nuclear sites, terming it a &#8216;spectacular military success&#8217;.
What Happened: The US military executed precision strikes on the Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan nuclear facilities&nbsp;in Iran around midnight local&nbsp;time. 
&#8220;Our objective was the destruction&nbsp;of Iran&#8217;s nuclear enrichment capacity,&nbsp;and a stop to the&nbsp;nuclear threat posed by the&nbsp;world&#8217;s number one state sponsor&nbsp;of terror,&#8221; Trump said while <a href="https://www.youtube.com/live/C7eSJ011Muc">addressing </a>the nation.
&#8220;A short time ago, the U.S. military carried out massive precision strikes on the three key nuclear facilities in the Iranian regime: Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;Everybody heard those names for years as they built this horribly destructive enterprise. Our objective was the destruction of Iran&#8217;s nuclear enrichment capacity, and a stop to the nuclear threat posed by the world&#8217;s number one state sponsor of terror. Tonight, I can report to the world that the strikes were a spectacular military success.&#8221;&nbsp;
&#8220;For 40 years, Iran has been saying, ‘Death to America. Death to Israel.' They have been killing our people, blowing off their arms, blowing off their legs with roadside bombs,&#8221; Trump added. &#8220;That was their specialty. We lost over a thousand people and hundreds of thousands throughout the Middle East and around the world have died as a direct result of their hate in particular.&#8221;

The President had previously announced last Thursday that he would decide&nbsp;on whether to strike Iran&nbsp;within a two-week period. 
Despite his calls for Iran to negotiate on its nuclear program, the country withdrew from scheduled talks with the US and declined to return to the negotiation table.
Trump announced the successful attacks via a Truth Social post on Saturday evening. The US reportedly used six bunker-buster bombs and&nbsp;30 tomahawk missiles launched from&nbsp;American submarines in the strikes.
Earlier, on June 12, Israel had ordered strikes on Iran as Israeli intelligence indicated that Iran&#8217;s nuclear program was advancing rapidly. The Israeli strikes, known as &#8220;Operation Rising Lion,&#8221;&nbsp;targeted Iran&#8217;s nuclear and missile&nbsp;infrastructure.
Why It Matters: The strikes come amid escalating tensions between the US and Iran over the latter&#8217;s nuclear program. The US has long accused Iran of pursuing nuclear weapons, a charge Iran denies. 
The successful strikes represent a significant escalation in the US&#8217;s efforts to curb Iran&#8217;s nuclear ambitions. The decision to strike follows Iran&#8217;s refusal to engage in talks about its nuclear program, further straining relations between the two countries.

Roblox (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RBLX#NYSE">RBLX</a>): Don't look now, but shares of gaming company Roblox are trading where they were back in late 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic. The company is likely being helped by surprise hit minigame "Grow a Garden," which Roblox users can play. The game is seeing high concurrent user figures for people playing Roblox and also helping increase monetization on the platform. Hit games on Roblox have a tendency to help boost quarterly results with higher in-game spending coming from new and old users. Roblox has also seen a handful of analyst ratings with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/RBLX/analyst-ratings">higher price targets </a>including Oppenheimer taking the price target from $80 to $125 and Wedbush taking the price target from $91 to $110.

Chopra also previously oversaw Amazon.com's Devices and Services division, helping power growth of items like the Kindle, Alexa and Fire TV.

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

The past week in the world of finance and technology was nothing short of exciting. From the backing of a crypto-friendly startup bank by big names in tech to the stunning surge of Circle&#8217;s stock, there was no shortage of intriguing developments.
Here&#8217;s a quick recap of the top stories that made headlines.
Anduril And Palantir Founders Back Crypto-Friendly Startup Bank
Palmer Luckey, founder of defense technology startup&nbsp;Anduril Industries, and&nbsp;Joe Lonsdale, co-founder of&nbsp;Palantir Technologies, have reportedly invested in a cryptocurrency-friendly banking startup.

Circle&#8217;s Stock Skyrockets By 540%
Circle Internet Group, Inc., the issuer behind the USD Coin, saw its stock surge by a whopping 540% since its IPO on June 5. The rally gained further momentum following the U.S. Senate&#8217;s passage of the GENIUS Act, a bill that would formally regulate dollar-backed stablecoins.

Dogecoin Could See A 60% Move

Elizabeth Warren&#8217;s Warning on Stablecoins
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) warned that stablecoin legislation could enable billionaires like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos to exploit user data and engage in unfair trade practices.

Crypto-Friendly Startup Bank, Circle's Stock Surge And More: This Week In Crypto

유럽 증시는 화요일(27일) 유럽연합(EU) 당국자들이 미국과의 관세 협상 속도를 높이기로 합의한 후 상승세를 보였다. 투자자들은 미국과 EU 간 무역 전쟁을 막고 글로벌 위험자산의 주요 오버행이 해소될 것으로 기대하고 있다.
이러한 상황은 도널드 트럼프 미국 대통령이 주말에 모든 유럽연합 수입품에 대한 50% 관세 부과를 7월 9일까지 연기하기로 결정한 이후에 나온 것이다. 관세 부과 시한이 미뤄지면서 미국 증시도 큰 폭으로 상승했다. 다우존스 산업평균지수는 약 700포인트 상승했고, 기술주 중심의 나스닥 종합지수는 2% 이상 상승했다.
유럽 지역의 우량주들 역시 이러한 움직임을 따라갔고 범유럽 상장지수펀드(ETF)는 몇 주 만에 가장 큰 폭의 매수세를 보였다.
미국 소비자 신뢰지수의 깜짝 반등과 30년 만기 국채 수익률을 5% 아래로 끌어내린 국채의 광범위한 랠리도 투자심리를 부추겼다. 유로화는 무역 긴장이 완화되면서 유럽 자산에 대한 수요가 다시 증가하면서 1.14달러 부근에서 한 달 만에 최고치를 기록했다.
<h3>협상 패스트트랙이 시장에 중요한 이유</h3>
협상을 가속화하기로 한 EU의 결정은 관세 인상 기간을 좁히고 미국과 EU의 다국적 기업이 공급망 계획을 보다 명확히 할 수 있게 해 준다. 일부 은행의 전략가들은 이러한 변화가 매력적인 밸류에이션과 안정된 경제 지표에도 불구하고 올해 미국 벤치마크에 뒤쳐진 유럽 주식에 억눌린 자본을 끌어올리는 데 도움이 될 수 있다고 말했다.
글로벌 제조업체들이 여전히 중국발 경기 둔화를 소화하고 있는 상황에서 EU와 미국의 관세 교착 상태가 끝나면 두 번째 주요 불확실성 요인이 제거될 것이다. 수요일(28일)에 발표될 예정인 반도체주 엔비디아의 실적 발표에서 가이던스가 탄력적인 것으로 확인되면 글로벌 리스크온 분위기가 강화될 수 있다.
<h3>유럽 노출을 위한 세 가지 경로</h3>
잠재적 무역합의에 앞서 포지션을 취하려는 미국 투자자를 위해 간편성, 유동성, 섹터 선택의 균형을 맞추는 다양한 수단을 소개한다.
<ol>
<li>광범위한 유럽 ETF: 뱅가드 FTSE 유럽 ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VGK#NYSE">VGK</a>) 또는 아이쉐어즈 MSCI 유로존 ETF(BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EZU#BATS">EZU</a>)와 같은 저비용 펀드는 대륙 전역의 대형주에 대한 노출을 단일 티켓으로 제공한다. 두 펀드는 화요일에 평균 이상의 거래량을 기록했다.</li>
<li>섹터 및 테마 펀드: 관세 완화가 이루어진다면, 국경 간 수요와 관련된 경기 순환적 분야가 가장 큰 혜택을 받을 수 있다. SPDR MSCI 유럽 산업 ETF와 글로벌 X MSCI 수퍼디비던드 EAFE ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EFAS#NYSE">EFAS</a>)는 각각 산업 수출업체와 고배당 주식에 대한 타깃 플레이를 제공한다.</li>
<li>개별 ADR 및 직접 상장: 단일 주식 리스크에 익숙한 투자자들은 지멘스(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SIEGY#OTC">SIEGY</a>) 또는 반도체 장비 제조업체 ASML 홀딩(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>)의 미국 예탁증서(ADR)를 고려할 수 있다.</li>
</ol>
<h3>환율 및 정책 일정에 유의</h3>
미국 기반 포트폴리오에 헤지되지 않은 유럽 자산을 보유하고 있는 경우 유로화 강세는 두 번째 수익률 동인이 될 수 있지만 변동성이 커질 수도 있다. 약간 높은 수수료가 발생하지만 환율 변동을 중화하려는 투자자는 통화 헤지 ETF 주식 클래스를 이용할 수 있다.
또한 트레이더는 금요일(30일) 미국 근원 PCE 인플레이션 발표와 연준 관계자의 연설에서 통화정책 방향에 대한 단서를 찾을 수 있을지도 주목할 것이다. 미국 성장 둔화 조짐이 보이면 재정지출과 구조개혁이 내수를 뒷받침할 것으로 예상되는 유럽에 대한 상대적 열기가 증폭될 수 있다.
EU와 미국의 협상이 빠르게 진행되면서 이달 초 관세 헤드라인으로 타격을 입었던 유럽 시장에 새로운 모멘텀을 불어넣고 있다. 지정학적 리스크는 여전하지만, 매력적인 밸류에이션과 미국 달러 약세와 함께 협상 타결 가능성이 높아지면서 유럽에 분산 투자하는 것이 미국 중심의 포트폴리오를 보완할 수 있는 매력적인 대안이 되고 있다.
