Billionaire philanthropist Melinda French Gates has suggested that playing sports could be a major factor in the success of women in the C-suite.
What Happened: At the Power of Women&#8217;s Sports Summit, French Gates highlighted the correlation between women in leadership positions and their participation in sports. She noted that women who played sports, especially those who didn&#8217;t mind failing, were more likely to end up in the C-suite, <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/06/27/billionaire-philanthropist-melinda-french-gates-no1-skill-that-gen-alpha-girls-high-school-ceo-career-advice/">reported</a> Fortune.
&#8220;The only correlation they can find of women in the C suite, the CEO spot, it that they all played sport—or the majority played sport,&#8221; French Gates said.
She added, &#8220;And the thesis is (we don't know why that is) they didn't mind failing. You step out of bounds playing soccer, you go right back to it. You lose the tennis match sometimes. You learn to fail and that failing is okay.&#8221;
She added that playing sports helps in developing qualities such as resilience and self-confidence, which are crucial for success in the boardroom. This view was supported by tennis legend&nbsp;Billie Jean King&nbsp;and research from EY, which revealed that 94%&nbsp;of women in the C-suite are former athletes.
SEE ALSO: <a href="https://benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46132007/amazon-google-not-far-behind-but-dan-ives-says-microsoft-clearly-leading-in-these-segments-600-price" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Amazon, Google Not Far Behind, But Dan Ives Says Microsoft &#8216;Clearly Leading&#8217; In These Segments — $600 Price Target Is &#8216;Probably&#8217; Conservative</a>
Why It Matters: CEOs often credit their sports backgrounds for developing key leadership skills like confidence, teamwork, and discipline. A McKinsey report supports this view, highlighting overlaps between executive and athletic traits such as time management, resilience, and a growth mindset.
The insights shared by Gates and King come at a time when the corporate world is witnessing a shift in attitudes and work culture, especially with the upcoming Gen Z workforce. Gen Z, which is set to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/financial-advisors/25/06/46129668/gen-zs-gig-economy-mindset-prioritizing-flexibility-skill-development-and-work-life-balance-in-corporate-america"> make up</a> 30% of the workforce by 2030, prioritizes work-life balance, flexibility, and skill development.
Moreover, top banker Jamie Dimon&#8217;s call for an overhaul of the U.S. education system and underlines the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/education/25/06/46007465/jamie-dimon-sounds-alarm-on-skills-gap-calls-for-overhaul-of-us-education-system">need for schools</a> to adapt to the demands of a rapidly changing workforce. The emphasis on sports as a platform for developing crucial life skills could potentially align with these evolving educational and corporate trends.

Melinda French Gates Reveals The No. 1 Skill Women Need To Reach The C-Suite: 'You Learn To Fail And That Failing Is...'

Following a series of sobering near-miss incidents in U.S. airports, most recently when a Southwest Airlines (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUV#NYSE">LUV</a>) plane came close to departing from a taxiway in Orlando, air carriers are focusing now on what could be the most priceless upgrade since in-flight Wi-Fi: cockpit alerts that scream at pilots before they undertake something disastrous.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/new-etfs/25/06/46151058/jpmorgans-new-etf-smashes-records-with-2-billion-kick-off">JPMorgan&#8217;s New ETF Smashes Records With $2 Billion Kick Off</a>
At the forefront of this air safety upgrade is Honeywell (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HON#NASDAQ">HON</a>), which has created a Runway Awareness and Advisory System (RAAS) that&#8217;s now in use across almost all of Southwest&#8217;s 800-strong Boeing 737 fleet, according to WSJ. And although this upgrade is, first and foremost, about ensuring passengers and crew are safe, it also represents a possible investment opportunity few are discussing: a boost in demand for avionics and safety technology, and the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">ETFs that contain them</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Wake-Up Call In The Cockpit</h2>
Honeywell&#8217;s system provides real-time voice and text alerts when pilots make hazardous maneuvers, such as turning onto an incorrect runway, landing too rapidly, or trying to take off from a taxiway. 
It&#8217;s not only Southwest becoming serious about safety. Other airlines such as Alaska Airlines (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALK#NYSE">ALK</a>) are bringing the system on board as well, with Airbus and Boeing (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) allegedly working on their own in-house alert systems. With the FAA considering new proposals to mandate safety alerts on new planes, and potentially retrofits in the future, this might be only the start.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The ETF Angle: Follow The Beep</h2>
A number of large ETFs already provide exposure to aviation safety vendors such as Honeywell, and if the industry experiences an upgrade supercycle, these funds could be winners:
iShares U.S. Aerospace &amp; Defense ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ITA#BATS">ITA</a>): Top holding is Honeywell, followed by Boeing and Raytheon (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RTX#NYSE">RTX</a>). Traces defense and aerospace production companies, including safety systems and avionics.
Up 29% YTD, ITA may experience additional tailwinds if cockpit safety standards become an international standard.
SPDR S&amp;P Aerospace &amp; Defense ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XAR#NYSE">XAR</a>): Equal-weighted, providing more widespread exposure to mid-cap stocks that might include specialty avionics providers.
Comprises participants on next-gen safety software, hardware, and even autonomous flight system development.
Global X Future Analytics Tech ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AIQ#NASDAQ">AIQ</a>): Not aerospace-focused, but exposed to companies embedding AI in safety and risk-reduction systems. 
As cockpit notifications become more sophisticated with AI-based pattern recognition, funds such as AIQ might soon be cleared for takeoff.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Now?</h2>
Let&#8217;s link the dots:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Increasing pilot shortages translate into more dependence on safety technology.</li>
<li>Busy airports and tighter flight schedules raise the margin for error.</li>
<li>High-profile accidents (such as the Air Canada near-miss at San Francisco or the 2006 Comair crash) are spurring regulators and carriers into action.</li>
<li>Public perception: Airlines are keen to demonstrate that they&#8217;re spending money on safety amid growing concern.</li>
</ul>
In short, the cockpit alert boom is not merely a safety tale, it&#8217;s a story about tech adoption, and in the markets, that&#8217;s where the actual jet fuel resides.
For the moment, cockpit warnings might be barking alarms within aircraft, but shareholders might find themselves tuning in as well. Aviation safety technology is taking to the skies quietly, and the ETFs that have exposure to it could be up next for a smooth ride.

Runway Ready: Can Aviation Safety Tech Be The Next Frontier For Aerospace ETFs?

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.
Wall Street surged this week as easing geopolitics and a potential pause in U.S.-China tariffs lifted sentiment. The S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq hit record highs, boosted significantly by Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), whose stock jumped by about 10% to record its highest valuation — $3.8 trillion — overtaking Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) as the world's most valuable company
The tech rally reflected strong earnings from Nvidia's AI-centric chip business and supplier Micron (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>), while broader market gains were bolstered by renewed risk appetite in equities.
Next week, investors will track the June jobs report, rhetoric on tariffs — including the July 8 "Liberation Day" deadline — and upcoming July 4 tax‑and‑spending legislative actions that could influence rates and yields.
Benzinga provides daily reports on the stocks most popular with investors. Here are a few of this past week's most bullish and bearish posts that are worth another look.

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) is forming a bullish golden cross — a 50-day moving average crossing above the 200‑day — after recovering from earlier tariff-induced weakness, which historically has preceded massive rallies, with gains as high as 800%, fueled by easing U.S.-China trade tensions and strong earnings.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/06/46104401/micron-q3-earnings-revenue-eps-beat-estimates-data-center-revenue-guidance-ai-demand">"Micron Q3 earnings: Revenue, EPS beat estimates as data center revenue doubles, strong guidance on rising AI‑driven demand"</a>, by Adam Eckert, reports that Micron Technology Inc.

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/46098312/palantir-stock-hits-all-time-high-whats-going-on">"Palantir stock hits all‑time high: what's going on?"</a>, by Adam Eckert, reports that Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) shares reached record highs — up roughly 500% over the past year and 93% year-to-date — driven by strong momentum (Benzinga Pro momentum score of 99), surging AI and government contracts including a $795 million U.S. Army deal, and positive Wall Street sentiment such as Loop Capital's raised price target.

Benzinga Bulls And Bears: Nvidia, Micron, HIMS — And Markets Soar On Mideast And Tariff Relief

Warren Buffett has donated a staggering $6 billion worth of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) shares to the Gates Foundation and four family charities. This is Buffett&#8217;s largest annual donation since he began his philanthropic journey almost two decades ago.
What Happened: According <a href="https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/boards-policy-regulation/warren-buffett-donates-record-6-billion-berkshire-shares-2025-06-28/">to</a> a Reuters report, the 94-year-old business magnate donated approximately 12.36 million Berkshire Class B shares to the Gates Foundation and the Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation, as well as three charities led by his children.
This latest contribution brings Buffett&#8217;s total charitable giving to well over $60 billion. The Oracle of Omaha still retains 13.8% of Berkshire&#8217;s stock, making him the world&#8217;s fifth-richest person with a net worth of $152 billion, as per Forbes.

Buffett, who has been giving away his fortune since 2006, has no plans to sell any of his Berkshire shares. Last year, he amended his will, designating 99.5% of his remaining fortune to a charitable trust to be managed by his children after his death. The trust will have around a decade to distribute the funds and must reach unanimous decisions on their allocation.
Why It Matters: Despite his philanthropic efforts, Buffett&#8217;s wealth has continued to surge. In March, he was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44479393/warren-buffett-top-wealth-gainer-elon-musk-top-wealth-loser-in-2025-heres-how-much-billionaires-have-added-lost">recognized as the top wealth gainer</a> among the world&#8217;s richest people, due to Berkshire Hathaway stock&#8217;s strong performance. 
Despite his immense <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44779863/warren-buffetts-son-sold-his-berkshire-stock-inheritance-to-buy-something-infinitely-more-valuable-than-the-500-million-it-would-be-worth-today">wealth</a>, the latest donation testifies to Buffett's commitment to his philanthropic endeavors.

Warren Buffett Donates $6 Billion In Berkshire Stock To Gates Foundation And Other Charities, His Biggest Gift In 20+ Years: Here's How Much He's Given Away So Far

This week, on multiple occasions, Microsoft Corp. co-founder Bill Gates <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/health-care/25/06/46131597/bill-gates-says-he-knows-for-a-fact-that-more-children-will-die-due-to-us-health-aid-cuts-and-hes-taking-the-proof-to-congress">expressed concern</a> over the future of global health, warning that recent cuts to funding for Gavi could undo decades of progress in saving children&#8217;s lives through vaccinations.
What Happened: In a post titled "A perilous time for the world's poorest children," <a href="https://www.gatesnotes.com/home/home-page-topic/reader/a-perilous-time-for-the-worlds-poorest-children">on</a> Gates Notes, Gates decried the Donald Trump government&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/03/44498936/moderna-novavax-shares-are-sliding-wednesday-whats-going-on">decision to pull funding</a> from Gavi, the vaccine alliance that has helped vaccinate over a billion children.
He warned that the cuts could lead to a reversal in progress, with more children dying from preventable diseases. Gates noted that 2025 could be the first year since the 1990s when child mortality rates increase, instead of continuing to decline.
See Also:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46087132/elizabeth-warren-says-the-tax-break-for-mark-zuckerbergs-meta-is-so-bountiful-under-trumps-big-beautiful-bill-that-35-copay-from-each-american-wont-still" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Elizabeth Warren Says The Tax Break For Mark Zuckerberg&#8217;s Meta Is So Bountiful Under Trump&#8217;s ‘Big Beautiful Bill&#8217; That $35 Copay From Each American Won&#8217;t Still Match It</a>
He stated, &#8220;All the progress we've made is at risk,&#8221; referencing the vital role Gavi plays in providing affordable vaccines to low-income countries.
Gates also highlighted how the funding cuts could undermine efforts to eradicate diseases like polio and malaria, emphasizing that &#8220;the life could have been saved by a vaccine that costs just 30 cents.&#8221;
Why It&#8217;s Important: On Tuesday, the Gates Foundation announced a pledge of $1.6 billion over the next five years to Gavi.
Earlier this month, Gates, who chairs the Gates Foundation, committed to channeling the majority of its planned <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/esg/25/06/45739698/bill-gates-commits-majority-of-200-billion-foundation-budget-to-africa-over-next-20-years-amid-trumps-massive-usaid-cuts">$200 billion investment</a> over the next two decades into Africa.
The Trump administration had earlier signaled its intention to reduce its annual contribution of approximately $300 million to Gavi.
The Microsoft co-founder has previously also aimed at Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk and Trump for supporting sudden cuts to USAID funding, cautioning that these cuts could halt the supply of essential food and medicine, potentially causing a resurgence of diseases such as measles, HIV, and polio — with the world's most vulnerable <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">children bearing the brunt</a>.

Bill Gates Warns Of 'Perilous' Times After Trump Administration Pulls Funding From Gavi, A Group That Has Paid For Over A Billion Children's Vaccinations: 'All The Progress We've Made Is At Risk'

Apple Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) Siri is far behind OpenAI's ChatGPT, according to a comparison conducted by Deepwater Asset Management, receiving an "F" while ChatGPT has scored an "A."
What Happened: On Friday, Deepwater Asset Management's managing partner, Gene Munster, shared the results of the test <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/03/44429160/apple-stock-down-over-12-this-year-now-tim-cook-is-reportedly-betting-on-vision-pros-mike-rockwell-to-fix-siri-after-losing-confidence-in-ai-boss-john-giannandrea">comparing Siri</a> and ChatGPT.
The comparison involved 50 real-world questions, assessing each AI assistant's ability to understand, respond, and handle follow-up questions. Siri received an "F," while ChatGPT through Siri earned a "B," and ChatGPT alone scored the highest with an "A."
The test showed that Siri is still more of a voice-activated search tool than a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45851232/apples-lack-of-new-ai-features-at-wwdc-is-startling-expert-says">true AI assistant</a>. Despite its integration with iOS, Siri struggles with reasoning, follow-up questions, and delivering concise, helpful answers.

It also took 5 to 10 seconds for Siri to hand off requests to ChatGPT, causing delays that are not ideal for today's fast-paced environment.
In contrast, ChatGPT provides more accurate, fluid, and human-like responses, mimicking natural conversation with ease. The test emphasized that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/05/45486193/why-is-apple-still-behind-on-ai-expert-dissects-reasons-behind-iphone-maker-lagging-likes-of-microsoft-and-amazon-despite-poaching-googles-ai-chief">Apple's Siri has been stuck in the past</a>, and for it to stay competitive, a major overhaul is required.
&#8220;It has to be more than a voice for web search. Siri needs to think, converse, and assist like an intelligent partner,&#8221; the test concluded.&nbsp;

Why It&#8217;s Important: Apple's upgraded Siri, first unveiled at <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39245542/dont-miss-apples-wwdc-2024-keynote-how-and-where-to-watch-on-june-10">WWDC 2024</a> and originally slated for spring 2025, will now launch a year later in spring 2026.
Earlier this week, BofA analyst Wamsi Mohan kept a &#8216;Buy&#8217; rating on the Apple stock with a $235 price target, citing reports that Apple may <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46041473/apple-eyes-perplexity-ai-acquisition-while-facing-shareholder-lawsuit-over-exaggerated-ai-progress-report">acquire, or partner with</a> Perplexity AI to strengthen its AI search capabilities, enhance Siri, reduce reliance on Alphbaet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google and expand into the search advertising market.
On the other hand, Chamath Palihapitiya has criticized Apple on the All-In podcast, saying that the company's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46068152/whats-next-for-apple-chamath-palihapitiya-fires-back-dont-think-they-have-any-chance-of-anything-dismisses-glasses-and-ai-hopes">dependence on iPhone sales</a> and incremental updates shows it has little chance of delivering major innovations, while noting its culture may stifle bold ideas.
However, others on the panel argued Apple's shift to recurring revenue has been successful, even if moving into AI could prove to be more challenging.
Benzinga's Edge Stock Rankings indicate that Apple is showing a persistent decline over the short, medium, and long term. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Additional performance insights can be found here</a>.

Siri Gets 'F' While OpenAI's ChatGPT Scores An 'A:' Gene Munster Says Here's What Apple Needs To Fix Before 2026 Launch To Stay Relevant In AI

Kevin O&#8217;Leary, the famous investor from &#8220;Shark Tank,&#8221; has shared a smart method to break the addictive cycle of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/06/45737262/kevin-oleary-loves-credit-card-companies-because-americans-cant-stop-paying-crazy-23-interest-mr-won">credit card spending</a>, urging people to look closely at the long-term financial cost of their impulsive purchases.
What Happened: In his book, "Cold Hard Truth on Men, Women and Money," which was originally published in 2012, O&#8217;Leary spoke about how many people are trapped in a &#8220;credit card trance,&#8221; spending money they don't have, <a href="https://www.thestreet.com/personal-finance/shark-tanks-kevin-oleary-has-big-money-warning-for-all-americans">reported</a> The Street.
According to O&#8217;Leary, when people buy items on credit, they often fail to consider the true cost of those purchases, particularly the interest paid over time.
He encouraged readers to ask themselves before each purchase: &#8220;Will the interest I pay on this item outlive my interest in this item?&#8221; If the answer is yes, O&#8217;Leary advised against making the purchase.

The investor also warned that using credit cards for emotional relief, or &#8220;retail therapy,&#8221; is a dangerous habit. "I love money because, employed properly, it's a source of creative energy," he wrote in his book. "Stuff, on the other hand, merely uses up energy by killing money."
Why It&#8217;s Important: O'Leary has often described consumer debt as "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43424608/21-interest-rates-youve-got-to-be-kidding-me-kevin-oleary-slams-credit-card-debt-as-the-real-silent-killer-in-america">the silent killer</a>." Back in February, he told Graham Stephan on his podcast that he avoids debt entirely, paying for everything with cash.
He's not alone in warning about the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/05/39092288/if-you-use-your-credit-card-you-do-not-want-to-be-rich-warns-mark-cuban-on-the-dave-ramsey-show">dangers of credit cards</a>. Mark Cuban, another billionaire from Shark Tank, earlier told Dave Ramsey on The Ramsey Show that using credit cards is a barrier to building wealth. &#8220;If you use your credit cards, you do not want to be rich.&#8221;
Earlier this year, in March, Synchrony Financial (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SYF#NYSE">SYF</a>), the biggest private-label credit card issuer in the U.S., said that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/25/03/44482518/major-credit-card-provider-warns-us-consumers-are-spending-less">persistent inflation is pushing consumers</a> to cut back on spending.

Kevin O'Leary Has A Trick To Break The Credit Card Trance: Here's What He Wants You To Look Closely At

Elon Musk&#8216;s Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) failed to dismiss a lawsuit over a fatal car crash involving its Model S. The judge&#8217;s decision paves the way for a potential trial.
What Happened: A federal judge in Miami, Beth Bloom, ruled that the estate of Naibel Benavides Leon and her former boyfriend, Dillon Angulo, can proceed with their claims against Tesla for design defects and failure to warn, according to a report by Reuters on Friday.
The lawsuit is related to an April 2019 incident where a Tesla Model S, equipped with Autopilot, crashed into the victims&#8217; parked Chevrolet Tahoe in Key Largo, Florida.

The judge&#8217;s decision also allows the plaintiffs to seek punitive damages. The trial is scheduled for July 14.
Why It Matters: Tesla, based in Austin, Texas, has long been under scrutiny for the safety of its self-driving technology. The company has repeatedly emphasized that its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/02/25681053/tesla-sued-over-alleged-suspension-failure-in-fatal-florida-crash-that-killed-2-last-year">autopilot features</a> are meant for &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44458804/elon-musk-10-years-ago-called-autonomous-driving-a-solved-problem-said-we-will-be-there-in-a-few-years">fully attentive</a>&#8221; drivers and do not make its vehicles autonomous.
Earlier this month, Tesla faced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46041090/tesla-faces-safety-questions-from-regulators-ahead-of-robotaxi-launch-in-austin">safety questions from regulators</a> as it prepared to launch its Robotaxi service in Austin, Texas. The regulators were particularly concerned about the performance of Tesla&#8217;s self-driving technology in challenging weather conditions.
In a separate incident, a wrongful death lawsuit was filed against Tesla in New Jersey over a 2024 crash involving a Model S that claimed three lives. The lawsuit alleges that the crash was due to the car&#8217;s &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46068107/elon-musks-tesla-faces-wrongful-death-lawsuit-over-model-s-crash-which-claimed-3-lives-plaintiffs-call-cars-design-defective-and-unreasonably-dangerous">defective and unreasonably dangerous design</a>.&#8221;
Price in Action: Tesla closed at $323.63, down 0.66% for the day. A slight dip of 0.28% was seen in after-hours trading, amounting to $322.71, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Elon Musk's Tesla Loses Bid To Dismiss Fatal Crash Lawsuit, Trial Set for July

Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) founder Jeff Bezos and journalist Lauren Sánchez <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46087635/bernie-sanders-slams-jeff-bezos-lavish-wedding-plans-demands-end-to-oligarchy-amazon-founder-pays-1-1-tax-takes-500-million-yacht-to-venice-while-kids-go-hungry">tied the kno</a>t on Friday in a luxurious wedding that cost an estimated $50 million.
The three-day celebration took place in Venice, drawing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/events/25/06/46136092/jeff-bezos-lauren-sanchez-wedding-draws-star-studded-guest-list-to-venice-here-are-the-celebs-who-showed-up-so-far">numerous A-list celebrities</a> and spotlighting extravagant details like foam parties, custom-designed goodie bags and high-end fashion.
Foam Party On Bezos' $500 Million Yacht
The festivities began with an unconventional foam party on Bezos' $500 million super yacht. The yacht was anchored near Croatia's Unije Island, where the couple celebrated Sánchez's son Evan Whitesell's 19th birthday, <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/jun/27/jeff-in-venice-seven-takeaways-from-the-bezos-sanchez-wedding">reported</a> The Guardian.

A Charitable Wedding Invitation
For a couple with a fortune worth billions, Bezos and Sánchez asked guests for something a little unusual: no gifts. Instead, they encouraged guests to make donations on their behalf to charitable causes, including Venice International University and lagoon restoration efforts, the report said.
Exclusive Goodie Bags For Guests
Each guest was given a specially curated goodie bag, which included sweet treats from a renowned Venetian pastry shop, Rosa Salva and colorful Murano glassware from Laguna~B.
Thunderstorms And Public Protests
The celebrations weren't without their hiccups. On Thursday night, a freak thunderstorm disrupted one of the welcoming events at the Madonna dell'Orto cloisters, soaking guests and cutting the event short.
Additionally, public <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/entertainment/25/06/46062022/protests-rock-jeff-bezos-gondola-want-to-rent-venice-for-a-wedding-pay-more-tax">protests against the couple's lavish wedding</a> took place, with activists voicing opposition to the extravagant celebration, the report added.
Fashion Choices And Iconic Looks
Sánchez was seen arriving at the ceremony dressed in what appeared to be an Audrey Hepburn-inspired look, with a headscarf and sunglasses.
As per the report, speculations were that she would wear a Dolce &amp; Gabbana dress, as she has been a long-time fan of the Italian brand.
Art And Culture For The Elite
For some of the guests, including Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) co-founder Bill Gates, the celebration also included a cultural experience. Gates, with an art collection valued at $127 million, visited the Gallerie dell&#8217;Accademia, home to works like Titian's Pietà, during some downtime before the ceremony, the report said.

Jeff Bezos, Lauren Sanchez Get Married In A $50 Million Wedding In Venice: From Foam Party On His $500 Million Yatch To Goodie Bags, Here's What We Know

Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) CEO&nbsp;Jim Farley voiced skepticism about&nbsp;Tesla Inc.'s&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) autonomous driving strategy, underscoring the necessity of consumer trust and prudence.
What Happened: During the Aspen Ideas Festival, Farley emphasized the potential of laser sensor systems, such as those employed by 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>)&nbsp;Waymo, according <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/06/27/ford-ceo-jim-farley-waymo-self-driving-lidar-more-sense-than-tesla-aspen-ideas/">to</a>&nbsp;Fortune.
In a conversation with Walter Isaacson, Farley compared the systems of Waymo and Tesla, expressing a preference for Waymo&#8217;s approach.
"When you have a brand like Ford, when there's a new technology, you have to be really careful," he said.
Farley highlighted the critical role of LiDAR, a technology used by companies like Waymo in self-driving vehicles. Farley stated, "We&nbsp;really believe that LiDAR is&nbsp;mission critical."
He acknowledged the advancements of both companies but emphasized Ford&#8217;s belief in the importance of LiDAR, noting its capability to detect obstacles that cameras might overlook.
"We decided, as a company, that a cooler problem than full autonomy in an urban setting was high speed, eyes off. Push a button and read a book in your car," Farley said.
Tesla, which employs a camera-only strategy for autonomous driving, recently introduced a robotaxi service in Austin.
This approach has faced scrutiny within the industry, although&nbsp;Elon Musk&nbsp;argues it is cost-effective. Meanwhile, Ford plans to collaborate with self-driving software firms as technology progresses, focusing on its &#8220;BlueCruise&#8221; Level 2 system.

Why It Matters: Ford&#8217;s decision to prioritize LiDAR technology over Tesla&#8217;s camera-only approach highlights a significant divergence in strategies within the autonomous vehicle industry. Tesla&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45966726/tesla-vehicle-production-cost-1-7-that-of-waymo-elon-musks-ev-giant-closer-to-full-autonomy-than-competition-report">production costs</a> for vehicles are reportedly just &#8220;1/7&#8221; of Waymo&#8217;s, and this cost efficiency allows Tesla to deploy more vehicles on the road, potentially accelerating its path to full autonomy.
Furthermore, Tesla&#8217;s robotaxi service, which recently launched in Austin, is considered to have a major advantage <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46133153/tesla-robotaxi-has-a-major-advantage-over-rivals-waymo-and-zoox-says-gary-black-could-be-very-significant">over competitors</a> like Waymo and Zoox. Gary Black of The Future Fund LLC highlighted that every Tesla robotaxi is factory-ready, giving it a significant edge in the market.
Despite the differing approaches, Tesla&#8217;s safety record is noteworthy. Social Capital CEO Chamath Palihapitiya <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45966113/tesla-crashes-significantly-lower-than-national-average-chamath-palihapitiya-weighs-in-on-why-its-the-ideal-choice-for-teenage-drivers">pointed out</a> that Tesla&#8217;s crash rates are significantly lower than the national average, making it an ideal choice for teenage drivers.

Ford CEO Jim Farley Believes Waymo's Approach Makes More Sense Than Elon Musk-led Tesla's: 'When You Have A Brand Like Ford... You Have To Be Really Careful'

The U.S. Senate has rejected a Democratic-led proposal to limit President Donald Trump&#8216;s authority to use military force against Iran.
What Happened: The Senate, led by Republicans, voted 53-47 against a resolution that would have required Congressional approval for any further military actions against Iran, according to a Reuters report.
The vote, which took place on Friday, was largely divided along party lines, with only one Democrat, Pennsylvania&#8217;s Sen John Fetterman (D-Pa.), voting against the resolution. Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) voted in favor of the resolution, aligning with the Democrats.
Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.), the resolution&#8217;s chief sponsor, has been advocating for years to restore Congress&#8217;s authority to declare war, which has been assumed by both Republican and Democratic presidents. Emphasizing on power granted by the Constitution to Congress, not the president, the sole authority to declare war, 
Kaine in his speech said, &#8220;If you think the president should have to come to Congress, whether you are for or against a war in Iran, you&#8217;ll support Senate Joint Resolution 59, you&#8217;ll support the Constitution that has stood the test of time,&#8221;

Trump&#8217;s administration has faced criticism from lawmakers for the recent U.S. strikes on Iran and the uncertainty surrounding Iran&#8217;s highly enriched uranium stockpiles. Despite this, the Senate&#8217;s Republican majority argued that the strikes were within the President&#8217;s rights as Commander-in-Chief and did not signify the beginning of prolonged hostilities.
Why It Matters: The Senate&#8217;s decision to uphold Trump&#8217;s war powers comes in the wake of heightened tensions between the U.S. and Iran.
The U.S. military executed precision strikes on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46043305/donald-trump-announces-spectacular-military-success-as-us-strikes-key-iranian-nuclear-sites">three key Iranian nuclear facilities</a>, including Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan, which President Trump hailed as a &#8216;spectacular military success.&#8217;
Trump has also announced the possibility of further strikes if Iran resumes enriching uranium to concerning levels. Despite these developments, Trump declared a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46072859/trump-says-israel-is-not-going-to-attack-iran-after-ceasefire-violation-turn-around-and-head-home">asserting that Israel would not attack Iran</a>.
Trump&#8217;s administration then announced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46107752/trump-announces-iran-nuclear-talks-following-us-strikes-that-severely-damaged-iranian-nuclear-program">nuclear talks with Iran</a> following the U.S. strikes, which were said to have severely damaged Iran&#8217;s nuclear capabilities. These developments sparked debate and concern, with Trump&#8217;s approval ratings <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46129934/trump-approval-ratings-drop-after-attack-on-iran-tie-for-worst-since-second-term-started">experiencing a significant drop</a> in the lead-up and aftermath of the strikes.

Senate Defends Trump's War Powers, Rejects Push For Congressional Approval For Further Action Against Iran

President&nbsp;Donald Trump&nbsp;hinted at the possibility of adjusting the early July deadline for reinstating significant U.S. tariffs on various countries.
What Happened: On Friday, Trump suggested that the July 9 deadline for a U.S.-EU trade deal might not be set in stone.
"We&nbsp;can do whatever we want,"&nbsp;he told reporters at the White House, according <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/06/27/trump-tariff-trade-deadline-july.html">to</a> a CNBC report.
"We could extend it. We could make it shorter."
This statement also addressed the July 8 deadline, which marks the end of&nbsp;a three-month pause on his&nbsp;"Liberation Day" tariffs.
The pause temporarily reduced tariffs to 10%, but they could revert to higher rates unless Trump&#8217;s executive order from April 9 is amended.
During the 90-day pause, the White House aimed to negotiate individual trade agreements, but&nbsp;with less than two weeks&nbsp;left, only limited&nbsp;agreements with China and the&nbsp;United Kingdom have been finalized.
Trump mentioned deals with "probably four or five different&nbsp;countries," yet emphasized the extensive list of countries still targeted by tariffs.
Despite a federal trade court ruling against the tariffs in May,&nbsp;a federal appeals court has&nbsp;temporarily halted that decision.&nbsp;White House press secretary Karoline&nbsp;Leavitt hinted at the possibility of extending the July deadlines, but emphasized that the decision rests with the President.

Why It Matters: Trump&#8217;s recent remarks come on the heels of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46150909/trump-canada-tariffs-dollar-deal">dramatic shift</a> in trade negotiations with Canada. On the same day, Trump halted all trade talks with Canada, citing their new Digital Services Tax on American technology companies as a &#8220;direct and blatant attack&#8221; on the U.S.
Meanwhile, the U.S. and China have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46133537/howard-lutnick-confirms-us-china-trade-agreement-reaffirms-white-houses-progress-to-close-deals-with-10-other-trading-partners">finalized</a> a trade agreement, building on discussions held in Geneva last month. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick confirmed the deal, noting plans to secure agreements with ten other major trading partners.
Trump's tariff preference is not new. In a 1988 interview on The Oprah Winfrey Show, Trump voiced his frustration with U.S. allies, asserting that they should &#8220;pay their fair share&#8221; in trade relations with the United States. He specifically pointed to Japan and Kuwait as examples of nations benefiting at the expense of the U.S.

Trump Says July Tariff Deadline Not Set In Stone: 'We Can Do Whatever We Want'

Tesla Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) has reached a significant milestone in autonomous driving technology. The company successfully completed its&nbsp;first fully autonomous delivery of&nbsp;a Model Y.
What Happened: Tesla CEO&nbsp;Elon Musk&nbsp;announced on Saturday that the EV giant achieved a milestone by completing the&nbsp;first fully autonomous delivery of&nbsp;a Model Y.
"The first fully autonomous delivery of a Tesla Model Y from factory to a customer home across town, including highways, was just completed a day ahead of schedule!!" Musk said in a post on the social media platform X.
<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">The first fully autonomous delivery of a Tesla Model Y from factory to a customer home across town, including highways, was just completed a day ahead of schedule!!

Musk credited the achievement to the efforts of the&nbsp;Tesla AI&nbsp;teams, responsible for both software and AI chip design.
He added that during the journey, there were no individuals inside the vehicle, nor were there any remote operators controlling it. Musk emphasized that this is, to the best of their knowledge, the first instance of a fully autonomous drive on public highways without any human presence or remote operation.

Why It Matters: This achievement follows a series of advancements in Tesla&#8217;s autonomous driving technology. Earlier this year, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42894743/tesla-ceo-elon-musk-says-fsd-will-be-safer-than-human-drivers-in-q2-2025">Musk revealed</a> that Tesla&#8217;s Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology would surpass human driving safety by the second quarter of 2025. He predicted that FSD would eventually become ten times safer than human drivers, reducing the likelihood of accidents significantly.
In January, Tesla <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/43295163/elon-musk-says-unsupervised-full-self-driving-begins-as-tesla-can-now-drive-itself-from-factory-to-loading-docks">announced</a> a breakthrough, stating that its vehicles could autonomously navigate from the factory to loading docks without human intervention, which was the precursor to the current achievement.
Earlier this month, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46048103/teslas-robotaxi-rollout-sparks-expansion-buzz-elon-musks-company-says-fsd-can-be-deployed-anywhere-after-austin-launch">Tesla launched</a> its Robotaxi service in Austin, Texas, with a limited number of Model Y Robotaxis.

Elon Musk Reacts After Tesla Completes Autonomous Delivery Of Model Y: From Factory To Customer Home Across Town, Through Highways

The Donald Trump administration is preparing a set of executive actions to bolster the U.S. artificial intelligence (AI) sector, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45805623/palantir-ceo-warns-us-china-ai-race-will-have-one-winner-urges-west-to-keep-up">aiming to outpace China</a> in the global AI race.
What Happened: The administration's proposed actions aim to ease power grid constraints and expedite data center construction, both crucial to supporting AI development, reported Reuters, citing sources familiar with the matter.
The initiatives include facilitating power-generating projects&#8217; connections to the grid and offering federal land for data center construction.
The moves are intended to address the growing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46117348/meta-secures-more-clean-energy-for-power-hungry-ai-and-data-center-growth">electricity demand driven by AI</a>, which is projected to increase U.S. power demand five times faster than anticipated by 2029.

Power demand from AI data centers could surge over 30-fold by 2035, the report noted, citing Deloitte.
The White House is also set to release an AI action plan, with a nationwide &#8220;AI Action Day&#8221; slated for July 23 to highlight the report's recommendations.
Why It&#8217;s Important: The surging demand for AI is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45816468/ai-data-centers-are-eating-electricity-and-these-3-energy-stocks-could-be-the-biggest-winners-says-analyst">transforming the energy landscape</a>, fueling growth for independent power producers (IPPs) like Constellation Energy Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CEG#NASDAQ">CEG</a>), Vistra Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VST#NYSE">VST</a>) and NRG Energy Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NRG#NYSE">NRG</a>).
The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) expects electricity use in the country to keep rising through 2025 and 2026, reaching new record levels, mainly due to increased demand from commercial and industrial users like data centers.
ICF International predicts that U.S. electricity needs could jump by 25% by 2030 and soar by 78% by 2050.

Trump's AI Power Play—Executive Orders Aim To Outpace China, Rewire US Grid In Fight For Tech Supremacy: Report

Jim Cramer&nbsp;expressed concerns on Monday about&nbsp;Palantir Technologies Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) experiencing a significant stock decline, questioning if it was a result of the Russell index rebalance.
What Happened: Palantir's stock price plunged by over 10% on Friday, amid easing tensions in the Middle East and a possible pullback after a recent bull run in the stock.
Despite this drop, Benzinga's Edge Stock Rankings show Palantir's shares rank in the 98th and 97% percentiles on Momentum and Growth, respectively. Click&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>&nbsp;for deeper insights into the stock.

CNBC's "Mad Money" host Cramer wondered if the fall in Palantir stock could be due to a rebalance by FTSE Russell in its U.S. indices.
<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>
Cramer&#8217;s post comes after he recently praised Palantir, suggesting it has the potential to be valued at <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46134364/palantir-is-a-200-stock-masquerading-as-144-says-jim-cramer-highlights-new-nuclear-operating-system-microsoft-endorsement">$200 per share</a>, despite its current trading levels.
During his analysis, Cramer also highlighted Palantir&#8217;s new nuclear operating system and endorsement from&nbsp;Microsoft Corp.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>).

Why It Matters: The stock market often reacts to index rebalances, which can cause volatility.

Despite the recent drop, the stock remains up approximately 93% year-to-date.
Moreover, Palantir&#8217;s innovative approach, particularly its Forward Deployed Engineer model, has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/46109638/microsoft-ceo-satya-nadella-praises-palantirs-fde-model-as-fantastic-insiders-say-its-not-consulting-it-builds-the-product-customers-need">received praise</a> from industry leaders like&nbsp;Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft.

Palantir Stock Price Falls Over 10%: Jim Cramer Wonders If It Was A Casualty Of Russell Rebalance Days After Calling It A $200 Stock

Dave Ramsey, founder and CEO of Ramsey Solutions and a well-known radio host, has offered some tough advice to pet owners who are facing financial difficulties in keeping their pets alive.
What Happened: Ramsey recently addressed a difficult question from a listener who was struggling with the financial burden of their pet&#8217;s medical bills, according to a report <a href="https://www.thestreet.com/personal-finance/dave-ramsey-has-blunt-words-on-spending-money-to-keep-a-dog-alive">by</a> The Street.
The listener, identified as Jeff, disclosed that he and his wife have an annual household income of $127,000. They were faced with expensive veterinary bills for their elderly dog, prompting them to question how much they should be willing to spend to keep their pet alive.
Ramsey, a self-proclaimed dog lover, acknowledged the emotional difficulty of the situation. He stated, &#8220;That being said, this little animal that I love like crazy is still … a dog,&#8221;
Ramsey said that his children and grandchildren would take priority over his pets when it comes to spending money to keep them alive, cautioning against the risk of the pet&#8217;s well-being being overshadowed by the owner&#8217;s emotions.
He advised that if the pet&#8217;s condition can be improved with a reasonable amount of money, it may be worth it. However, he strongly advised against going into debt or causing financial strain to keep a pet alive.

Why It Matters: Ramsey&#8217;s advice on this issue is consistent with his overall approach to personal finance. He has previously <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45496493/dave-ramsey-shares-four-money-lessons-every-child-should-learn-money-comes-from-work-not-from-other-people">offered guidance</a> to high-earning individuals who struggle with financial discipline, emphasizing the importance of living within one&#8217;s means.
His recent advice also aligns with his previous comments about the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/06/45753871/man-calls-dave-ramsey-for-guidance-because-he-has-no-savings-despite-earning-200k-annually">financial responsibility </a>of pet ownership.

I truly prefer this dog to most people, I really do.&#8221;
However, he made it clear that his love for his pet does not justify going into debt to cover expensive medical procedures.

Dave Ramsey Has Blunt Advice On How Much To Spend To Keep A Pet Dog Alive: 'I've Seen People Spend Tens Of Thousands Of Dollars…'

The Supreme Court has altered how birthright citizenship policies can be challenged in court. The ruling, authored by conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett, limits the judiciary&#8217;s power to issue nationwide injunctions against presidential directives.
What Happened: The Supreme Court&#8217;s 6-3 decision, announced on Friday, impacts the enforcement of birthright citizenship policies. The ruling restricts judges&#8217; ability to block President Donald Trump&#8217;s policies across the nation, although it does not immediately enforce his directive on birthright citizenship, according to a Reuters report.
Trump welcomed the ruling, asserting it enables his administration to advance policies like the birthright citizenship executive order, which he claims were unjustly obstructed. The decision requires lower courts to reevaluate the extent of their injunctions.
&#8220;This morning, the Supreme Court has delivered a monumental victory for the Constitution,&#8221; President Trump said <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114756147615303122">in</a> a post on Truth Social, adding that this is a &#8220;big day.&#8221;

The ruling did not address the legality of Trump&#8217;s policy, which seeks to deny citizenship to children born in the U.S. without at least one American citizen or lawful permanent resident parent. The policy can take effect 30 days after the ruling.
Liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor criticized the decision, labeling it a &#8220;travesty for the rule of law&#8221; and highlighting the potential unconstitutionality of Trump&#8217;s order. The case underscores the ongoing debate over the judiciary&#8217;s authority to issue universal injunctions against presidential policies.
Why It Matters: The Supreme Court&#8217;s decision follows a series of legal challenges against Trump&#8217;s birthright citizenship policy. In February 2025, U.S. District Judge Deborah Boardman <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/25/02/43512657/trump-rejected-federal-judge-says-executive-order-against-birthright-citizenship-will-cause-irreparable-harm">issued an injunction</a>, citing potential irreparable harm.
Earlier, in January 2025, Judge John Coughenour in Seattle temporarily<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43181433/trumps-birthright-citizenship-order-halted-by-judge-blatantly-unconstitutional"> blocked the order</a>, deeming it &#8220;blatantly unconstitutional.&#8221;
Trump, who pledged in a 2023 campaign video his<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/05/32640194/trump-calls-for-abolition-of-birthright-citizenship-once-again-will-issue-executive-order-on-day-1-i"> intent to abolish birthright citizenship</a> if re-elected in 2024, as highlighted in a campaign video.

Supreme Court Hands Trump A 'Monumental Victory' As It Limits Judges' Power To Block President's Birthright Citizenship Order

Apple Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) Original Films' "F1: The Movie," starring Brad Pitt, has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/06/45829682/pro-drivers-give-brad-pitts-f1-movie-the-thumbs-up-its-300-million-budget-makes-it-one-of-the-most-expensive-films-ever-made">exceeded expectations</a>, banking $10 million in previews and is on track for a $115 million global opening, while "M3GAN 2.0" is off to a slower start.
What Happened: Directed by Joseph Kosinski, the Formula One racing drama's preview earnings include $7 million from Thursday night shows and $3 million from sneak screenings, <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/brad-pitt-f1-fire-up-box-office-m3gan-2-1236301336/">reported</a> The Hollywood Reporter.
Warner Bros. Discovery Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBD#NASDAQ">WBD</a>) is distributing and promoting Apple's big summer movie, which is expected to open with at least $115 million worldwide thanks to IMAX and premium screen deals.
However, its production costs are high, exceeding $200 million before marketing expenses.

F1 is expected to easily outpace Blumhouse and Atomic Monster's "M3GAN 2.0," which brought in $1.5 million from Thursday night previews, the report said.
The Comcast Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMCSA#NASDAQ">CMCSA</a>) subsidiary Universal Studios' sequel is projected to open domestically with around $20 million — about $10 million less than the first M3GAN's impressive $30.4 million debut in December 2023, which included $2.75 million in preview showings.
The original film went on to make $117.7 million in North America and $226.3 million worldwide, all on a modest $12 million production budget, not accounting for inflation.
Why It's Important: F1's preview earnings have already surpassed those of &#8220;Ford v Ferrari,&#8221; the biographical racing drama set at the iconic Le Mans endurance race.
That film, featuring Matt Damon and Christian Bale, brought in $2.1 million from previews before achieving a respectable three-day North American debut of $3 million.
"F1: The Movie" marks a pivotal moment for Apple as it tries to break into the competitive theatrical market, after previous <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/03/37558754/apples-1b-gamble-on-3-blockbusters-analyzing-box-office-results-streaming-impact-and-oscar-nominatio">box office disappointments</a> like "Killers of the Flower Moon" and "Napoleon."
Despite Apple's vast financial power — with a market value of $3 trillion and annual earnings close to $100 billion — its video arm, which covers Apple Original Films and Apple TV+, hasn't <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/large-cap/25/06/46142591/apples-f1-movie-burns-300-million-still-waiting-on-a-profit">made money since it started</a> in 2017.
Apple TV+ has also found it challenging to capture a meaningful share of the market. Although it has around 45 million subscribers, it reportedly represents under 1% of overall U.S. streaming viewing and still loses over $1 billion each year.
Price Action: According to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>, Apple's stock has dropped 17.54% so far this year and is down 6.08% over the last 12 months.
Benzinga's Edge Stock Rankings indicate that Apple's shares continue to show a declining trend over the short, medium and long term. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Additional performance insights can be found here</a>.
