The strategic chokepoint of the Strait of Hormuz — the maritime artery through which nearly 20% of global oil flows — is back on the radar of Wall Street research desks, as analysts asses the risk of a crude supply shock following Israel's latest strikes <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/iran">on Iran's nuclear infrastructure.</a>
Squeezed between Iran and Oman, this thin strip of water narrows to just two shipping lanes of only 2 nautical miles each, leaving global oil flows dangerously exposed.
With the Israel-Iran standoff intensifying, the Strait of Hormuz is becoming a major worry for investors and the global economy. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Oil Spiking Above $100 Still A Tail Risk, But Rising In Probability</h3>
Following the 12% weekly jump in oil prices – as tracked by the United States Oil Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>) – Goldman Sachs has increased its near-term geopolitical risk premium. 
In a note shared Friday, commodity analyst Daan Struyven estimated that if Iranian oil infrastructure is damaged and 1.75 million barrels per day are knocked offline for six months, Brent could briefly spike above $90. 
A broader regional escalation that impacts the Strait of Hormuz, however, could push oil above $100 in what Goldman Sachs describes as a "tail risk but non-negligible" scenario.
&#8220;Almost a third of global seaborne oil trade moves through the Strait of Hormuz. While some portion of oil flows could be diverted to avoid the Strait, it still leaves roughly 14m b/d of oil supply at risk,&#8221; said ING commodity analyst Warren Patterson. 
"A significant disruption would be enough to push Brent to $120 per barrel," he added.

Patterson also noted that global LNG markets would be squeezed, as Qatar — which supplies 20% of the world's liquefied natural gas — depends entirely on this chokepoint, with no viable alternate routes.
According to Kristian Kerr, head of macro strategy at LPL Financial, the market is closely watching how Iran might retaliate, particularly through its proxies. 
"The primary market concern lies with Iran potentially closing the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint for global oil and gas," Kerr said. 
"We think that's unlikely for now, given Iran&#8217;s need to maintain oil sales to China."
Kerr added that $80 per barrel is an important psychological threshold. A break above that level could trigger broader volatility across equity and credit markets.

A Thin Strip Of Water Keeps The World Economy On Edge: Will It Trigger A $100 Oil Shock?

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/tips-first-time-homebuyers">Owning a home</a> is often seen as a dream financial goal, offering stability and long-term wealth-building potential. However, many potential buyers overlook the costs, focusing mainly on the down payment and monthly mortgage. Most don't realize that numerous hidden expenses can quickly add up, potentially throwing off their financial plans.
While a home may seem like a great investment in the moment, the ongoing costs involved can be far more than what you initially bargained for.
A recent Bankrate Hidden Costs of Homeownership <a href="https://www.bankrate.com/home-equity/hidden-costs-of-homeownership-study/">Study</a> sheds light on these often-overlooked costs. Beyond the mortgage, homeowners face maintenance, property taxes, HOA fees, utilities, and insurance, all of which can take a significant toll on their finances.
The study found that maintenance alone can cost homeowners about 1% of the home's value annually, meaning an average $300,000 home could require around $3,000 a year just for upkeep. Property taxes <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/reit/19/08/14321132/are-hoa-fees-negotiable">and HOA fees</a> are also key contributors, with the potential to increase over time. Unexpected repairs, like HVAC or roof issues, can further strain finances.
These unanticipated expenses often surprise new homeowners, who may not be prepared for the financial reality of owning a home.
Utilities and energy costs often surprise homeowners as well. These expenses, along with homeowners' insurance (and flood insurance in some cases), add to ongoing costs that must be planned for. The Bankrate study highlights how these hidden costs can <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/the-power-of-compound-interest">compound over time</a>, especially as homes age and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/what-are-property-taxes-a-comprehensive-guide">property taxes rise</a>.
Even routine costs like water and electricity, which might seem small at first, can grow significantly over the years. On top of these, homeowners may face fluctuating costs depending on seasonal changes, like higher heating or cooling bills. As homes age, they may require more frequent maintenance or upgrades, further driving up expenses.

Why That Dream Home May Cost More Than You Expect

President Donald Trump has issued a stern warning to Iran. He has stated that any attack on US forces or land would be met with an unprecedented military response.
What Happened: On Sunday Trump clarified that the US had no involvement in Israel&#8217;s recent attack on Iran, amidst ongoing aerial assaults between the two Middle Eastern nations.
Trump&#8217;s message was <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114685507052179501">posted</a> on Truth Social, where he stated, &#8220;If we are attacked in any way, shape or form by Iran, the full strength and might of the US Armed Forces will come down on you at levels never seen before.&#8221; He also expressed hope for a peaceful resolution between Iran and Israel.
&#8220;We can easily get a deal done between Iran and Israel, and end this bloody conflict!!!,&#8221; he said. 
Meanwhile, Iran retaliated against Israel&#8217;s Operation &#8220;Rising Lion,&#8221; resulting in at least 10 deaths and over 200 injuries. Iran&#8217;s&nbsp;Foreign Affairs Minister Abbas Araghchi&nbsp;called for the US to&nbsp;condemn Israel&#8217;s attacks on its nuclear facilities, stating that Iran was merely defending itself.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45930362/for-investors-the-highest-probability-scenario-from-israel-iran-war-isnt-what-you-think-its-a-tr">For Investors, The Highest-Probability Scenario From Israel-Iran War Isn&#8217;t What You Think &#8211; It&#8217;s A Trump Card</a>
Trump&#8217;s administration had been in talks with Iranian officials before the discussions began to deteriorate in early June. 
A sixth round of meetings was scheduled for Sunday in Oman, but was disrupted by Israel&#8217;s attack. European officials have offered to open talks with Iran&#8217;s nuclear program in an attempt to deescalate the situation.
Why It Matters: This development comes at a time when tensions in the Middle East are escalating. The US, under Trump&#8217;s administration, has been trying to mediate between Iran and Israel, but the recent attack by Israel on Iran has complicated matters. 
The warning issued by Trump is indicative of the US&#8217;s stance on the issue and its commitment to protect its forces and land. 
This could potentially lead to a shift in the dynamics of the Middle East, affecting not only the countries involved but also the global political landscape.

Investor and entrepreneur Kevin O&#8217;Leary, also known as &#8220;Mr. Wonderful&#8221; on &#8220;Shark Tank,&#8221; recently opened up about the cost of building wealth while raising a family.&nbsp;
In a <a href="https://x.com/kevinolearytv/status/1932423755315511796">post on X</a>, O'Leary admitted that while he was constantly working during his children's younger years, he believes his role as a provider was equally important.

In the video, he expanded on this, saying, &#8220;It's always a really tough decision &#8230; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/11/41781866/kevin-oleary-claims-you-have-to-work-25-hours-a-day-for-him-business-is-simple-you-either-make-money">you&#8217;re often not there</a> for your kids while they&#8217;re growing up, because during those formative years, you&#8217;re just working. That was my case. So my wife did a great job in raising my kids, but I was a great provider.&#8221;
O&#8217;Leary emphasized that financial contribution plays a major role in family stability. &#8220;That's key too. I mean, part of the whole financial issue of marriage is you got to provide, you have to take care of your family. That&#8217;s mandate number one.&#8221;

He also made it known what he believes is the biggest threat to a marriage. &#8220;If you have financial stress in a marriage, you&#8217;re going to get divorced. It&#8217;s the No. 1 reason people get divorced, not infidelity. It&#8217;s financial stress.&#8221;
When rating himself, O'Leary said, &#8220;I would say when my kids were young, I was probably a six out of 10, but as a provider, I&#8217;m taking 10 out of 10 for that.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Solving Problems, Not Chasing Money</h2>
In a separate YouTube <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gI2F2qu_k88">video</a> from last year, O&#8217;Leary shared his philosophy on building wealth. According to him, the fastest way to make a million dollars is to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/06/45861901/the-fastest-way-to-make-a-million-dollars-is-to-make-the-first-10000-says-kevin-oleary-and-it-starts-with-solving-just-1-problem">earn your first $10,000</a>. After that, things become more scalable.
But O'Leary says it's not just about money. &#8220;People get wealthy not by pursuing money out of greed, but by pursuing a passion around a problem-solving exercise. That&#8217;s what business is all about.&#8221;

He encourages aspiring entrepreneurs to focus on real needs. &#8220;Think about that. Try and find something that&#8217;s a pain point that you know everybody has and then provide the product or service that solves for that.&#8221;
He says the model works at every scale: &#8220;That&#8217;s how you make a million. That&#8217;s how you make 5 million. That&#8217;s how you make 100 million. That&#8217;s how you make a billion.&#8221;
O'Leary also pointed out that social media is a powerful tool for building a business today, even if the work remains hard.

'I Worked Nonstop While My Kids Were Growing Up,' Says Kevin O'Leary. He Credits His Marriage's Survival To Eliminating Financial Stress

Nine of Iran&#8217;s leading nuclear scientists have been killed in a pre-emptive Israeli airstrike. This incident adds to the series of successful operations by Israel aimed at Iran&#8217;s nuclear experts.
What Happened: Israel launched a large-scale airstrike against Iran, effectively eliminating&nbsp;some of the Islamic Republic's&nbsp;top military and scientific leaders. 
Israel justified its actions by citing Iran&#8217;s&nbsp;rapidly advancing nuclear program and&nbsp;the slow pace of negotiations&nbsp;between Tehran and the US.
Since 2010, Israel&#8217;s intelligence agency, the Mossad, has been associated with the targeted&nbsp;killings of at least four&nbsp;other Iranian scientists. 
The most&nbsp;high-profile of these&nbsp;was the 2020 assassination of&nbsp;Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, a physics professor viewed&nbsp;by Israel and Western officials&nbsp;as the mastermind behind Iran's nuclear weapons program.

The recent strikes reportedly claimed the lives of&nbsp;at least nine top Iranian&nbsp;nuclear scientists, including&nbsp;Fereidoun Abbasi, a former head&nbsp;of the Atomic Energy Organization&nbsp;of Iran, and&nbsp;Mohammad Mehdi Tehranchi, head of&nbsp;Iran's Islamic Azad University in&nbsp;Tehran.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated on Friday that his goal was to neutralize&nbsp;any Iranian threat to Israel.&nbsp;Following the strikes, Iran&#8217;s top diplomat declared the scheduled talks with the US about Iran's nuclear program &#8220;meaningless&#8221;.
Why It Matters: The recent Israeli airstrikes mark a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran. The targeted elimination of Iran&#8217;s top nuclear scientists could significantly hamper Iran&#8217;s nuclear program. 
This development could also further strain the already tense relations between the two nations and potentially derail the ongoing negotiations between Iran and the US. 
The international community will be closely monitoring the fallout from these strikes and its impact on regional stability.

Israeli Strikes Kill 9 Iranian Scientists, Continuing Mossad's Decade-Long Targeting of Nuclear Program

Following <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/06/45911791/boeing-dreamliner-carrying-over-200-passengers-crashes-shortly-after-takeoff-near-indias-ahmedabad-b">Thursday's fatal plane crash</a> in the Indian city of Ahmedabad, when a Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) 787 Dreamliner aircraft, operated by Air India with 242 passengers onboard, crashed moments after takeoff, the aircraft manufacturer's troubled past has once again come to the surface.
Multiple Incidents, Three Whistleblowers And Prosecution Avoided
Serious questions about the company's safety and quality practices have been raised in the past following incidents with the 787 Dreamliner's Lithium-ion batteries, as well as three separate whistleblowers coming out to express serious concerns about the aircraft's manufacturing.
Amid the challenges, the company recently<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/25/05/45481977/boeing-may-reportedly-once-again-dodge-prosecution-over-737-max-crashes-victims-families-slam-dojs-potential-agreement-as-backroom-deal-dressed-up-as-a-legal-proceeding"> avoided prosecution </a>by agreeing to pay over $1.1 billion in a deal over two fatal air crashes in 2018 and 2019 that led to the deaths of over 346 people. The decision has angered the victims' families.&nbsp;
The non-prosecution agreement involves the aircraft company investing $455 million in compliance and safety programs, as well as compensating the victims' families with over $444.5 million.
The trial was originally set to begin on June 23, but Boeing struck a deal that involved pleading guilty to misleading the FAA. The company had previously also avoided prosecution in 2021 when it was deferred after Boeing paid over $2.5 billion.
Jeju Air disaster, Faulty Bathroom Latches
In two separate incidents, a Boeing 737-800 aircraft operated by South Korea's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42716905/boeing-in-spotlight-after-fatal-737-800-crash-in-south-korea-stock-declined-28-amid-deepening-2024-challenges">Jeju Air crashed</a>. The crash led to over 179 lives lost from the 181 passengers onboard the aircraft, while the Alaska Air Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALK#NYSE">ALK</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/01/36523143/im-going-to-die-passengers-experience-15-minute-nightmare-during-alaska-airs-harrowing-emergency">Flight 1282 </a>experienced a sudden loss of cabin pressure, forcing an emergency landing, as well as resulting in over 65 737 MAX 9 aircraft being grounded.
However, the woes didn't stop there as the FAA also proposed an airworthiness report after a passenger was stuck in a lavatory of a Boeing aircraft mid-flight due to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44811150/faulty-bathroom-latches-could-cost-boeing-34-million-following-faa-directive">a faulty bathroom latch</a>. The repairs could reportedly cost Boeing $3.4 million and affect thousands of aircraft in its fleet.
Despite such issues, the FAA has recently allowed Boeing to continue <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/travel/25/05/45692905/faa-extends-program-allowing-boeing-to-conduct-inspections-on-agencys-behalf">inspections and approve repairs</a> on the agency's behalf.
Space ambitions proving difficult to realize
In addition to being a key figure in the aircraft manufacturing sector, Boeing is also a major player in the space exploration industry. The company's flagship rocket, the Starliner, was touted to be Boeing's answer to Elon Musk's SpaceX. However, fast forward to today, the Starliner has had its share of issues.
A <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/space/25/06/45827130/nasa-delays-boeing-starliner-flight-to-2026-amid-ongoing-technical-challenges">failed test in 2024</a> left two astronauts stranded aboard the International Space Station for over 9 months and the vehicle is yet to be certified for human transport. Besides this, the company's progress in its development is slower than anticipated, much to the dismay of<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/06/45855902/why-jeff-bezos-might-emerge-as-the-biggest-winner-in-the-trump-musk-feud"> NASA and Pentagon officials</a>.
Aftermath Of The fatal Ahmedabad crash
Following the disaster, Boeing CEO Kelly Otberg said that "a Boeing team stands ready to support the investigation led by India's Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau."

Boeing's Troubled 2000s: From A Sweetheart $1.1B Deal Before Deadly Air India Crash To Stranding Astronauts At ISS And Airline Crashes

A tech employee recently discovered a jaw-dropping pay gap between them and a colleague with the same title and similar experience. While they earn $60,000 a year, their coworker, &#8220;John,&#8221; makes $115,000. The two work at a large tech company, and the disparity sparked a flood of advice and opinion on <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Salary/comments/1l6vjfc/discovered_a_huge_pay_gap_what_now/">Reddit</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Merger, A Staffing Agency And Two Very Different Paychecks</h2>
The original poster explained that they lead two teams—including one that the poster built from scratch—while John is just a member of one. They have been at the company for two years; John has been there for three. The key difference is that John came from a startup that was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45602719/openais-acquisition-of-jony-ives-startup-poses-threat-to-apples-dominance">acquired by the tech giant</a>, keeping his original salary intact. The poster, on the other hand, was hired post-merger through a staffing agency.

</ul>
&#8220;He was hired as part of a startup that was bought by this tech company,&#8221; OP wrote. &#8220;As such, his higher pay carried over after the merge. I was hired after the merge through a staffing agency.&#8221;
OP later updated the post to add: &#8220;I found out today that the company is trying very hard to find a reason to get rid of John, which is at least partially because he makes so much. Maybe our pay difference was for the best lol!&#8221;
This revelation added a surprising twist to the situation. While OP may be underpaid, John&#8217;s inflated salary appears to have made him a target. Many companies are always looking for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/large-cap/25/06/45748544/walmart-leverages-automation-and-ai-to-cut-costs-and-grow-paving-the-way-for-other-retailers-report">ways to cut costs</a>. If they think someone is overpaid and replaceable, some start building a case to get rid of them.
What started as a frustrating realization for OP might ultimately end in job loss for John. The title of &#8220;highest-paid peer&#8221; can sometimes come with a bullseye.
Trending: Invest where it hurts — and help millions heal:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/a-cure-for-osteoarthritis-powered-by-everyday-investors-cytonics-is-looking-to-beat-big-pharma-and-disrupt-a-390-billion-market"> Invest in Cytonics and help disrupt a $390B Big Pharma stronghold</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Get An Offer, Be Ready To Leave</h2>
Commenters were quick to point out a harsh truth: negotiating power is everything.
&#8220;Apply to another job and get an offer. Use that offer to negotiate higher pay at your current job. Then—maybe—take the new job, it might be time to move in a new direction,&#8221; one commenter advised. Another added, &#8220;There is no maybe. Take the new job.&#8221;
Many echoed the same idea: internal raises tend to be small, and significant jumps usually <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/06/45793441/vincent-chan-reveals-the-top-financial-mistake-people-make-64-of-job-hoppers-say-switching-jobs-actually-leveled-up-their-career-faster">come by switching employers</a>.
Others cautioned that bringing up John&#8217;s name directly in negotiations would be a mistake. &#8220;Try to negotiate a raise and don&#8217;t bring John up in any way, shape or form,&#8221; someone warned. &#8220;You now know how high the ceiling is and they don&#8217;t know that you know. Use that to your advantage.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">More Than Merit</h2>
Many highlighted how hiring timing and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45851993/mr-wonderful-kevin-oleary-says-he-was-once-told-by-a-ceo-to-shut-up-and-that-leveled-up-his-negotiation-skills-fellow-shark-mark-cuban-also-fle">negotiation skills</a> play a bigger role than job performance. John kept a premium salary due to his previous startup role, while OP started at the lower end because of agency involvement and timing.
&#8220;60k in tech is low, and that has nothing to do with the &#8216;pay gap,&#8217; it&#8217;s just low, period,&#8221; one compensation expert wrote. &#8220;You should be looking and interviewing, and the same would be true if you didn&#8217;t have a better-paid colleague.&#8221;
Some speculated that John's days may be numbered. &#8220;If they had someone that they thought was capable of doing John&#8217;s job for $60k, they would fire John today and hire that person,&#8221; a person foreshadowed what could happen before the post was updated.
The overwhelming consensus is not to count on your company to fix pay discrepancies. Use market research, get external offers, and be willing to leave.
&#8220;You&#8217;re only as valuable as someone is willing to pay you,&#8221; one person summarized.

Same Role, Same Experience—One Tech Worker Found Out Colleague Made Nearly Double The Money. It Could End Up Badly For One Of Them

Several customers&#8217; critical information has been compromised, leading to data breach alerts issued by&nbsp;JPMorgan Chase&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>),&nbsp;Bank of America&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>), and&nbsp;TD Bank&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TD#NYSE">TD</a>).
What Happened: According to <a href="https://www.mass.gov/doc/data-breach-report-2025/download">filings</a> with the Massachusetts state government, the banks disclosed data breaches that have put customers&#8217;&nbsp;accounts and personal information at&nbsp;risk. 
Chase revealed that&nbsp;at least four customers in&nbsp;the state were affected by multiple breaches.
Chase employees, in two incidents, improperly accessed customers&#8217;&nbsp;credit and debit card information, which led to fraudulent transactions. The bank responded by closing the affected cards, issuing replacements, and reimbursing the customers.
Similarly, The Bank of America <a href="https://www.mass.gov/doc/2025-961-bank-of-america/download">reported</a> that documentation related to at least one customer&#8217;s&nbsp;savings bonds was lost in&nbsp;transit on February 14th. Despite attempts to recover the documentation, the North Carolina-based lender has been unsuccessful.

TD Bank <a href="https://www.mass.gov/doc/2025-966-td-bank/download">disclosed</a> that&nbsp;a former employee improperly accessed&nbsp;a customer&#8217;s personal information between December 2024 and January 2025. 
The bank is now&nbsp;monitoring the account for fraud&nbsp;and has offered&nbsp;the customer a complimentary two-year membership to an identity&nbsp;theft protection and recovery service.
Why It Matters: This series of data breaches underscores the ongoing challenges that banks face in protecting customer information. 
Despite stringent security measures, the incidents highlight potential vulnerabilities in the banking sector&#8217;s information security systems. 
The breaches also raise questions about the effectiveness of current protocols in preventing unauthorized access by employees and the need for enhanced measures to ensure the safe transit of sensitive customer documentation.

Musk's ISS Concerns, Auto Tariffs, Boeing Dreamliner Crash And Trump-Musk Reconciliation: This Week In Mobility

Billionaire investor&nbsp;Ray Dalio&nbsp;has shed light on his perspective on meme stock trading. Dalio emphasized the importance of market pricing, a factor he believes is often overlooked by investors. 
What Happened: In a post on X, Dalio observed that investors tend to get swept up in the latest meme stock trend, which he warns is likely to lose its appeal over time. 
Instead of focusing on the performance of a company, investors often neglect the importance of market pricing, leading to potential market errors.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">These memes typically are due to a mix of extrapolating what happened before and emotional considerations.

&#8220;Most&nbsp;investors typically don't take into&nbsp;consideration market pricing&#8230;&nbsp;they don't pay enough attention&nbsp;to its pricing, even though&nbsp;its pricing (whether it is&nbsp;cheap or expensive) is the&nbsp;most important thing,&#8221; Dalio explained.

This advice from Dalio comes following his recent cautionary statements about the US economy. He has been urging the government to slash its budget deficit from 7% to 3% of GDP, proposing a three-pronged strategy involving tax revenue, spending cuts, and interest rates.
&#8220;At this time, it is typical for almost everyone to be looking to make money by buying assets that they believe will go up (rather betting on them going down), and they quite often use leverage,&#8221; he further added in the post. 
Why It Matters: Dalio&#8217;s insights on meme stock trading and the importance of market pricing come at a time when meme stocks have been making headlines. 
His advice serves as a reminder to investors to not lose sight of fundamental investment principles amidst the hype of trending stocks. 
His recent warnings about the US economy also underscore the need for fiscal responsibility and sound economic strategies.

Ray Dalio Shares His Meme Stock Trading Strategy: 'Most Investors Don't Take Into Consideration Market Pricing, They Don't Pay Enough Attention To Its Pricing'

Angel investor Naval Ravikant says Elon Musk quit talking to Bill Gates because "money is just a tool" for the Tesla chief, and anyone betting against his mission to decarbonize transport violates his code.
What Happened: In a conversation with cartoonist Scott Adams back in November 2024, Ravikant recounted a 2022 exchange in which Musk confronted Gates over a reported major short position in Tesla stock.
When Gates defended the wager as sound financial advice, Musk replied, &#8220;What do you care about making money? … I thought you were into electric cars,&#8221; then walked away &#8220;in disgust,&#8221; Ravikant said.
&#8220;Elon's a purist. He means what he says,&#8221; he added. &#8220;The money is a tool for him to get what he's trying to do.&#8221; According to a Business Insider <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-turned-down-bill-gates-philanthropy-over-tesla-short-2022-4">report</a>, leaked texts later confirmed Musk rejected a climate-philanthropy meeting with Gates for the same reason. Musk called the short &#8220;categorically insane&#8221; and predicted Gates would be "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44434228/elon-musk-said-bill-gates-would-be-obliterated-for-shorting-tesla-but-short-sellers-just-made-16-2-billion-in-3-months-betting-against-him">obliterated</a>" once Tesla's self-driving cars and Optimus robots scale.

Ravikant argued the incident shows Musk's ambitions stretch far beyond quarterly earnings. &#8220;He wants to get humanity to the stars … I think he means to get there within a defined window of time,&#8221; he said, insisting the goal is concrete, not aspirational. Ravikant contrasted Musk with executives who trumpet bold visions they never plan to fulfill. &#8220;You kind of know they don't really mean it,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Elon, I take at face value.&#8221;
&#8220;Elon doesn't want to go down as the electric-car guy. He wants to be the man who got humanity to the stars… and he'll do whatever it takes,&#8221; remarked Ravikant.
Why It Matters: Bill Gates says Elon Musk has "been nice to me at times, and mean to me at times,&#8221; a description that fits their <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45484920/more-than-a-feud-elon-musk-bill-gates-spat-sheds-light-on-competing-views-of-efficiency">decade-long feud</a>. Gates still praises Musk's engineering triumphs, saying Tesla "forced the car industry to do great EVs&#8221; and SpaceX redefined rocketry, yet he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43880898/im-in-awe-bill-gates-says-elon-musk-is-brilliant-rich-and-influential-but-admits-hes-been-mean-to-me-at-times">remains baffled</a> by Silicon Valley billionaires' recent tilt toward President Donald Trump. The Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) co-founder says he is willing to work with Musk, but whether Musk sets aside past barbs is an open question.
More recently, Musk <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45800612/trump-says-musk-has-trump-derangement-syndrome-as-battle-over-bill-heats-up-had-a-great-relationship-dont-know-if-we-will-anymore">sparred publicly</a> with Trump, blasting his "big, beautiful bill" as a letdown for the DOGE team and accusing the administration of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45828121/elon-musks-bombshell-about-donald-trump-in-epstein-docs-heres-the-truth-behind-the-claim">withholding</a> Jeffrey Epstein–related documents.

Naval Ravikant Says Elon Musk's A 'Purist' Recalling Why He Likely Never Speaks To Bill Gates

As the demand for drones in the U.S. military increases, the market is becoming increasingly congested. Numerous companies and startups are competing for&nbsp;the same investments and military&nbsp;dollars, leading to an oversaturated market.
What Happened: The&nbsp;small uncrewed aerial vehicle market&nbsp;has seen a significant increase in competition in recent years. Companies are not only developing drones but also&nbsp;software programs and modular payloads.
The&nbsp;Department of Defense&nbsp;has traditionally relied on&nbsp;large drones like the MQ-9&nbsp;Reaper&nbsp;for reconnaissance and combat strike&nbsp;missions. 
However, recent conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East have underscored the importance of low-cost, first-person-view (FPV) drones in modern warfare.
According to a report <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/too-many-companies-want-sell-small-aerial-drones-us-military-2025-6">by</a> Insider, this increased interest has stimulated the drone market, leading to&nbsp;new research and development pathways. However, the market is becoming&nbsp;oversaturated with drone makers producing&nbsp;similar products. 
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41652195/us-drone-maker-slams-china-sanctions-calls-it-an-attempt-to-eliminate-the-leading-american-drone-com">US Drone Maker Slams China Sanctions, Calls It &#8216;An Attempt To Eliminate The Leading American Drone Company&#8217;</a>
As a result, companies are&nbsp;trying to distinguish themselves in&nbsp;terms of capability and adaptability to countermeasures like electronic warfare.
Not all companies rushing into this space will&nbsp;be competitive in the long&nbsp;run. Some may fail to create a quality product, while others may struggle&nbsp;to scale up production to&nbsp;meet military demand. 
The current situation is likened to the early automobile industry, where only the strong survived.
Why It Matters: Despite the growing interest, investors remain cautious about investing in an industry that has historically not been very profitable for small drones. 
The question remains&nbsp;whether the Defense Department will&nbsp;purchase&nbsp;enough small drones to make&nbsp;these business ventures&nbsp;profitable in the near term.

This week was a rollercoaster ride in the tech world, with significant developments from industry giants Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), and Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>). From strategic investments and leadership changes to financial strategy revisions and potential acquisitions, the tech titans have been busy. Let&#8217;s dive into the details.
Meta&#8217;s $29 Billion AI Investment
Meta has strategically invested in Scale AI, pushing the company&#8217;s valuation to over $29 billion. This move is part of a broader partnership aimed at accelerating AI development. Scale AI&#8217;s founder and CEO, Alexandr Wang, will join Meta to support its internal AI initiatives while continuing to serve on Scale&#8217;s board.

Nvidia&#8217;s China Conundrum
Nvidia has revised its financial strategy following a $2.5 billion revenue shortfall in Q1 2025, attributed to U.S. export controls blocking AI chip sales to China. CEO Jensen Huang stated that the company would no longer include China in its revenue or profit forecasts due to the ongoing U.S. export restrictions.

Nvidia CEO Disagrees With AI Job Wipeout Predictions
In a rebuttal to Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei&#8217;s warnings about AI wiping out entry-level white-collar jobs, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang expressed his disagreement, stating that open development would create new work rather than trigger a wipeout.

Apple&#8217;s Potential AI Acquisition
Following Apple&#8217;s WWDC 2025, Dan Ives of Wedbush Securities suggested that Apple might need to pursue a merger or acquisition with an AI platform like Perplexity to remain competitive in AI and meet growing consumer demands. This move would be similar to Apple&#8217;s 2014 acquisition of Beats.

Wikipedia Pauses AI Experiment
Wikipedia has halted its AI-generated summaries experiment following backlash from its editor community, who argued that the feature would harm the platform&#8217;s credibility. The Wikimedia Foundation had planned to test AI-generated summaries on Wikipedia articles to make content more accessible.

Meta's AI Push, Nvidia's China Woes, And Apple's AI Race: This Week In AI

A mother recently called into &#8220;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuxNMVds32E">The Ramsey Show</a>&#8221; to get advice about her 22-year-old son, and Dave Ramsey did not hold back.
Her son, who is graduating debt-free from college this month thanks to the &#8220;sacrifice&#8221; of his parents, racked up a $700 urgent care bill after ignoring his parents' advice to use the on-campus clinic. The parents paid $500 of the bill and asked him to pay the remaining $200 to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-save-money-as-a-teenager">teach him some financial responsibility</a>. But the son flat-out refused.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Ramsey Warns Against Entitlement</h2>
The caller explained that her son planned to move back home for the summer while completing an internship. "No way. There's consequences to being a butt," Ramsey said. "He doesn&#8217;t get to live there rent-free if he doesn&#8217;t pay a bill because it&#8217;s your responsibility when it&#8217;s not."
The mom said her son believes the parents should cover the entire bill since he's still on their health plan. But Ramsey and his co-host Ken Coleman weren't having it.
"You&#8217;re not going to move in here until you pay that bill," Ramsey continued. "I&#8217;ll let you live here rent-free to get a good start, not for being an entitled brat."
Coleman got especially fired up when the mom mentioned that she was planning to play the clip of the call to her son. Talking directly to him, he said, "Dude, you need a reality check. You ought to be apologizing to your parents and groveling all over yourself in gratitude for all they&#8217;ve done for you," he said. "You went to a place that I told you not to. You&#8217;ve got a $700 problem. It&#8217;s not Mom and I&#8217;s problem."&nbsp;

&#8220;If you&#8217;re big enough to get yourself in this mess, you&#8217;re big enough to get yourself [out],&#8221; Ramsey added.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Gratitude Starts Young</h2>
Ramsey then pivoted to a <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">broader message</a>: Gratitude and humility must be taught early. "Everything when you&#8217;re parenting is a muscle that must be built," he said. "Gratitude leads to and helps you as it grows inside a child. A grateful child becomes a humble child."
He explained that these traits, once deeply rooted, shape adults who understand the value of personal responsibility, appreciate the support they&#8217;ve been given, and recognize that respect and opportunity must be earned, not expected or demanded. Such individuals are more likely to approach challenges with humility, make thoughtful financial choices, and avoid placing undue expectations on others.

The tech world was abuzz this past week with a flurry of news from Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>).

Apple's Supply Chain Realignments, AI Features At WWDC 2025 And More: This Week In Appleverse

As we wrap up another eventful week, let&#8217;s take a look at the top stories that made headlines. From Mark Cuban endorsing a progressive deficit reduction plan to the World Economic Forum&#8217;s sobering gender equality forecast, there&#8217;s a lot to unpack. We also saw President Trump green-lighting a major steel merger and Elon Musk predicting a future without jobs. Here&#8217;s a quick rundown of these stories.
Mark Cuban Backs Ro Khanna&#8217;s Deficit Reduction Plan
Billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban has shown support for Rep. Ro Khanna&#8217;s (D-Calif.) &#8220;Progressive Deficit Reduction Plan.&#8221; The plan aims to cut the U.S. deficit by $12 trillion over the next decade, with a significant portion of the cuts coming from spending reductions. The plan was unveiled on June 10, 2025, and seeks to lower the deficit-to-GDP ratio to 3% by 2034, a figure well below the historical average of 3.8%.

Gender Equality 123 Years Away, Says World Economic Forum
The World Economic Forum&#8217;s 2025 Global Gender Gap Index indicates that achieving global gender parity is still a distant goal. The report shows that only 68.8% of the gender gap has been closed across 148 economies, a mere 0.3 percentage point improvement from last year. At the current rate, it will take 123 years to reach full gender equality.

President Donald Trump has approved Nippon Steel&#8217;s (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NPSCY#OTC">NPSCY</a>) $14.9 billion bid for U.S. Steel (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/X#NYSE">X</a>). The approval comes after an 18-month process marked by union resistance and dual national security assessments.

Trump&#8217;s Tax Plan Could Threaten Rural Healthcare
Health advocates and rural hospitals warn that President Trump&#8217;s proposed tax cuts and spending bill could jeopardize critical medical services in small towns across the country. The legislation, which seeks to extend the 2017 tax cuts, could result in a significant reduction in Medicaid funding and impose stricter requirements for recipients.
