Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), reportedly made direct appeals to President Donald Trump over the weekend to reverse sweeping new tariffs.
What Happened: Despite being a key Trump adviser and significant political donor who contributed nearly $290 million to Republicans in last year&#8217;s elections, Musk&#8217;s intervention has been unsuccessful, <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2025/04/07/musk-trump-tariffs/">reported</a> The Washington Post. Trump threatened Monday to add new 50% tariffs on Chinese imports on top of the 34% taxes announced last week.
The dispute marks the highest-profile <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44668830/we-want-fairness-white-house-trade-adviser-navarro-says-trump-administration-is-focused-on-non-tariff-cheating">disagreement between Trump&#8217;s closest advisers</a>. Musk publicly criticized White House trade adviser Peter Navarro on social media, writing, &#8220;A PhD in Econ from Harvard is a bad thing, not a good thing.&#8221;
In an interview with Italian Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini, Musk advocated for a &#8220;free trade zone&#8221; between Europe and the United States, saying, &#8220;At the end of the day, I hope it&#8217;s agreed that both Europe and the United States should move ideally, in my view, to a zero-tariff situation.&#8221;
Tesla did not immediately respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga</a>'s request for comment.

Why It Matters: Musk&#8217;s brother and Tesla board member Kimbal Musk also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44677285/elon-musks-brother-and-tesla-board-member-kimbal-musk-calls-trump-most-high-tax-american-president-in-generations-warns-tariffs-are-a-permanent-tax-on-us-consumers">criticized Trump&#8217;s policies</a>, calling him &#8220;the most high tax American President in generations&#8221; and warning that tariffs create &#8220;a structural, permanent tax on the American consumer.&#8221;
Tesla stock closed at $233.29 on Monday, down more than 2.5%, and has lost over 38% of its value this year. Analyst Dan Ives of Wedbush Securities <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44659926/dan-ives-cuts-tesla-target-to-315-slashes-apple-by-23-amid-tariff-fallout-warns-elon-musk-led-ev-maker-faces-darker-days-ahead">lowered Tesla&#8217;s price target from $550 to $315</a>, noting that &#8220;Tesla has essentially become a political symbol globally&#8230; and that is a very bad thing.&#8221;
The tariff policies have <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/management/25/04/44676213/trumps-tariffs-are-impacting-main-street-not-just-wall-street-blackrock-ceo-larry-fink-says">sparked broader market turmoil</a>, with BlackRock Inc. CEO Larry Fink warning that economic impacts are &#8220;going to freeze more and more consumption.&#8221;

OpenAI Eyes $500 Million Deal To Acquire Jony Ive And Sam Altman's AI Hardware Startup: Report

Thousands of North Korean IT workers have been found to be working undercover in Fortune 500 companies, with their earnings being used to fund Kim Jong Un&#8216;s illicit weapons programs.
What Happened: These IT professionals have been using stolen or fabricated identities to gain employment in these companies, <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/04/07/north-korean-it-workers-infiltrating-fortune-500-companies/">reported</a> Fortune. The U.S. Treasury, State Department, and FBI estimate that this operation has been generating hundreds of millions annually since 2018.
The North Korean engineers are not only impersonating Americans but are also leveraging advanced AI to alter their appearances and voices. They are even managing to hold multiple jobs simultaneously, thereby increasing the amount of money funneled back to North Korea.
Harrison Leggio told the publication that nearly all the résumés he gets for roles at his crypto startup g8keep—about 95%—are actually from North Korean engineers pretending to be Americans.

Michael Barnhart, an intelligence leader at Google Cloud, stated that these engineers are stationed in China and Russia, where they use AI to create impressive bios and apply for jobs in bulk. 
Why It Matters: Despite attempts to disrupt this operation, cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike reported that North Korean IT workers were behind 304 incidents in 2024, and their activities increased during the latter half of the year. The firm predicts that these campaigns will continue in 2025, given their financial success.
This recent revelation is not an isolated incident. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/37198046/kim-jong-uns-north-korea-is-leveraging-ai-for-tech-theft-nuclear-funding-report">North Korean hackers</a> were already leveraging AI to facilitate their cyber operations, targeting employees of global defense, cybersecurity, and cryptocurrency companies. 
In 2024, the U.S. Justice Department accused an American woman and a Ukrainian man of being involved in a scheme that allegedly helped North Korea fund its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38889012/kim-jong-uns-north-korea-used-american-it-scammer-to-fund-nuclear-weapons-program-doj">nuclear weapons program</a>. The scheme involved more than 300 U.S. companies hiring foreign nationals with North Korean connections for remote IT work.

The CNN Money Fear and Greed index showed some easing in the overall fear level, while the index remained in the &#8220;Extreme Fear&#8221; zone on Monday.
U.S. stocks settled mixed on Monday, with the Dow Jones index falling for the third straight session.

On Truth Social, Trump stated that China had imposed retaliatory tariffs of 34%, on top of what he described as already record-setting tariffs, despite prior warnings that such measures would be met with significantly higher U.S. tariffs. He added that if China did not reverse the 34% hike by April 8, the United States would respond with additional tariffs of 50%, effective the following day.
On the economic data front, the Manheim Used Vehicle Value Index fell 0.7% month-over-month in March, matching the pace of decline in the previous month.
Most sectors on the S&amp;P 500 closed on a negative note, with real estate, materials, and utilities stocks recording the biggest losses on Monday. However, communication services and information technology stocks bucked the overall market trend, closing the session higher.
The Dow Jones closed lower by around 349 points to 37,965.60 on Monday. The S&amp;P 500 fell 0.23% to 5,062.25, while the Nasdaq Composite gained 0.10% at 15,603.26 during Monday's session.

At a current reading of 4.4, the index remained in the &#8220;Extreme Fear&#8221; zone on Monday, versus a prior reading of 4.0.
The Fear &amp; Greed Index is a measure of the current market sentiment. It is based on the premise that higher fear exerts pressure on stock prices, while higher greed has the opposite effect. The index is calculated based on seven equal-weighted indicators. The index ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 represents maximum fear and 100 signals maximum greediness.

An early investor in Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) transferred over $3 million in ETH to a cryptocurrency exchange on Monday, following a seven-year hiatus.
What Happened: The whale purchased 10,001 ETH at $352 apiece in November 2017, according to on-chain tracking platform Lookonchain. They resisted selling even when ETH&#8217;s value soared to&nbsp;$4,878 during the last bull&nbsp;run in 2021.
However, in an intriguing turn of events, the Ethereum OG deposited about $2,000 ETH, worth $3.11 million, to&nbsp;Kraken late on Monday. 
It was not immediately known if the investor sold the entire stash. But if they did, they would book a profit of $12.3 million. Notably, this was substantially lower than the peak unrealized profit of $45 million.

After 7-Year Dormancy, Ethereum Whale Transfers $3 Million To Crypto Exchange: What's The Strategy?

The White House&#8217;s recent tariff calculations are reportedly&nbsp;based on an error that&nbsp;inflated the rates by approximately four times, according to a conservative think tank.
What Happened: The White House used incorrect values in its tariff formula, leading to a significant overestimation of the rates, finds the American Enterprise Institute (AEI). The AEI scholars, Stan Veuger and Kevin Corinth, discovered that the White House used retail price changes instead of import price changes in its calculations. This error resulted in a fourfold increase in the tariff rates, <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/04/07/trumps-tariff-formula-was-rigged-to-get-inflated-ra[%E2%80%A6]ng-value-for-one-of-its-variables-conservative-think-tank-says/">Fortune </a>reported.
Veuger criticized the lack of professionalism, stating, &#8220;It&#8217;s pretty bush league.&#8221; He and Corinth argued that the incorrect formula has no basis in economic theory or trade law. "For such a big policy you'd expect a much higher level of professionalism,&#8221; Veuger told the publication.
The White House estimated the import price elasticity at 0.25, whereas the correct value should have been 0.945, stated the AEI.
The White House did not immediately respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> request for comment.
Another AEI economist,&nbsp;Derek Scissors, suggested on CNBC that the administration intentionally manipulated the math to achieve higher tariffs. "This whole thing was rigged," indicated Scissors.
Following the announcement of the new tariff regime by President&nbsp;Donald Trump, global markets experienced significant downturns. The scholars hope that the White House will correct the mistake and lower the tariff rates, potentially boosting the economy and helping to prevent a recession.

Why It Matters: The White House faced controversy for using a simplistic formula to calculate "reciprocal tariffs." They took the U.S. trade deficit with a foreign country, divided it by that country's exports to the U.S., then halved the result to set the tariff rate. They defended the calculations, stating that using retail prices was justified as consumers base their purchasing decisions on these prices. 
However, Veuger and Corinth, referencing research by Alberto Cavallo, Harvard Business School professor, contended that the calculations misunderstood the distinction between retail prices and import prices.
This isn&#8217;t the first time the Trump administration&#8217;s tariff calculations have been criticized. Earlier this month,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44625309/teacher-would-laugh-and-say-sit-down-top-analyst-compares-trumps-reciprocal-tariff-calculations-to-a-9th-graders-economics-project">Wedbush analyst Dan Ives</a>&nbsp;compared the administration&#8217;s tariff calculations to a high school economics project, suggesting they were overly simplistic and failed to consider complex economic factors. 
The recent findings by AEI scholars further underscore the concerns about the administration&#8217;s approach to tariffs and their potential impact on the global economy.

The CBOE Volatility Index, also known as the &#8220;fear gauge,&#8221; has spiked over the last few days, raising investor concerns about the direction in which the stock market is headed. These analysts identify historical patterns of the VIX spike similar to the Global Financial Crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic.
What Happened: The VIX closed at 45.31 on Monday and ended Tuesday at the 46.98 level. This marked a rare two-day close over the 45+ level as highlighted by Bill Luby, the former CIO at Luby Asset Management LLC.
According to Luby, the index hasn&#8217;t closed above this level for two consecutive days since the Great Financial Crisis of 2008-09 and the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020.

So rare that only two previous crises have included at least two 45+ closes in a row: the Great Financial Crisis of 2008-09 and the Pandemic of 2020.

Moreover, the gauge has risen by 118% over the last three sessions, which marks the fifth-highest three-day spike for the index.
The biggest three-day spike witnessed by the VIX index stood at 176% back in February 2018. This was followed by a 5.4% gain in the S&amp;P 500 index after one year and 70.6% of returns after five years.
Similarly, according to the data shared by Charlie Bilello, the chief market strategist at Creative Planning, the second-highest three-day VIX spike of 167% happened in August 2015, which led to 98.6% of gains in the S&amp;P 500 index after five years.
&#8220;Stocks have tended to bounce back with above-average returns over the next 1-5 years. High volatility/fear = opportunity,&#8221; said Billelo in an X post.

Jason Goepfert, a consultant at the White Oak Consultancy LLC, highlighted a contradictory pattern where the S&amp;P 500 rises after the VIX index hits the 45+ level for the first time in a month.
&#8220;A spike above 45 in the $VIX has generally been a pretty good panic-clearing signal,&#8221; he said. However, Goepfert clarified that the data may be less accurate before times when VIX futures traded.

Why It Matters: The stock market ended Monday on a mixed note after a volatile session of gains and losses. This was fueled by the news that Trump was weighing a three-month delay on tariffs. However, the White House dismissed it as fake news, and the indices sank again.
As of Tuesday, the S&amp;P 500 was 17.65% below its previous record high of 6,147.43 points. The Nasdaq 100 continued to hover in the bear market territory, 21.56% lower from its previous high of 22,222.61 points. The Dow Jones, on the other hand, was down by 15.77% from its 52-week high of 45,073.63 points.
The market selloff intensified after President Donald Trump introduced tariffs on all U.S. trading partners and announced higher tariffs for the so-called &#8220;bad actors&#8221; on Wednesday last week. The markets fell for two consecutive sessions on Thursday and Friday following the policy announcements and closed mixed on Monday.
The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), which track the S&amp;P 500 index and Nasdaq 100 index, respectively, were mixed on Monday. The SPY was down 0.18% to $504.38, while the QQQ advanced 0.24% to $423.69, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a> data.
On Tuesday, the futures of Dow Jones were up 1.59%, whereas the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq 100 indices rose 1.25% and 1.03%, respectively.

Volatility Gauge VIX More Than Doubles In 3 Days: Crosses The 45 Mark For 2nd Day, 1st Time Since 2008 Financial Crisis

RTX's Collins Aerospace Showcases Enhanced Prime Seating Solution For Electric Wheelchair Users At AIX 2025

The Social Security Administration&#8217;s (SSA) computer systems have been reportedly plagued by glitches, causing millions of recipients to receive false alerts about payment stoppages,
What Happened: The SSA&#8217;s computer systems, already strained due to outdated technology, have been experiencing an increased number of glitches, <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2025/04/04/politics/social-security-tech-team-layoffs/index.html">sources</a> told CNN. This has reportedly led to widespread panic among recipients, especially following a significant outage of the MySSA portal last week.
The portal, which allows recipients to manage their benefits online, was not the only system affected; other cloud and internal systems also experienced issues, according to the report. 
These problems surfaced at a time when the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), under the leadership of Elon Musk, was implementing payroll cuts across the federal government. This has resulted in a decrease in IT staff who maintain these critical systems.

Despite the system glitches and false alerts, recipients have confirmed that their monthly payments are still being deposited into their bank accounts. However, the frequent system outages and reduced IT staff have raised concerns about potential disruptions in future payments.
Why It Matters: The SSA has been undergoing significant changes recently. <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/personal-finance/financial-advisors/25/03/44067592/social-security-now-even-less-reliable-millennials-than-ever">The Social Security Fairness Act</a> was signed into law, leading to the repeal of the Social Security Government Pension Offset and Windfall Elimination Provision. 
This was followed by an <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44153127/will-social-securitys-restructuring-impact-your-monthly-benefits-heres-what-to-know">agency-wide restructuring</a>, which included major workforce reductions.
These changes, coupled with the recent system glitches, have led to growing concerns about the reliability of the SSA. Senator Angus King described the situation as &#8220;<a href="https://in.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44552524/sen-angus-king-on-social-security-whats-going-on-is-the-destruction-of-the-agency-from-the-inside-out-and-its-accelerating">the destruction of the agency</a> from the inside out, and it&#8217;s accelerating.&#8221;
